Chelsea have now suffered 6 losses in 6 games, much to the disappointment of their caretaker manager Frank Lampard. Lampard, despite having a slew of high-quality players, still can’t find the chink in the cog he needs to get rid of to get Chelsea back to its winning ways.

Will Pochettino Make a Good Manager for Chelsea?

Definitely. Mauricio Pochettino is amongst the best football managers any club can find and with such a good and high-quality set of players like Chelsea has, he’s very likely to turn the club around and have it performing really well. We can even expect Chelsea in the top four of the Premier League next season, if not taking the league title altogether, if he joins the club.
