Is Mauricio Pochettino facing the threat of being fired at Chelsea?

Sitting at 12th place in the Premier League with 7 defeats and 19 points is the reality for Chelsea this season. The goal, typically aimed at securing a top-four spot with a 14-point gap to Manchester City in fourth place, seems unrealistic. With 3 losses in the last 4 matches, the pressure on manager Mauricio Pochettino is starting to mount.

Pochettino’s stats for Chelsea (all comp): 
◉ 19 games 
◉ 8 wins
◉ 4 draws 
◉ 7 losses 
◉ 31 goals scored
◉ 27 goals conceded
◉ 28 points 
◉ 1.47 points per game

A significant amount of money has been spent on new players at Chelsea, and it seems that perhaps too many have been brought in without the necessary quality. However, there is more quality in the squad than their current 12th place suggests, and ultimately, scrutiny falls on the manager. Pochettino has not outperformed his predecessors (Graham Potter, Thomas Tuchel), both of whom were dismissed due to poor results. There is no doubt that owner Todd Boehly is considering this if the results do not start to improve soon.

Pochettino has publicly expressed the need for winter transfers, citing a lack of quality in the squad according to his assessment. The results have been highly inconsistent, and with even more players on the way, there will be a need to rebuild once again. Chelsea's next four matches could be crucial for Pochettino's future. They will face Sheffield United, Wolves, Crystal Palace, and Luton, and a minimum of 10 points from these games is expected.
