Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino makes interesting Coldplay comparison when assessing first Premier League season at Stamford Bridge

The Blues boss turned to the famous British band Coldplay as he tried to give an honest assessment of his maiden season with the West London club. After a slow start to their campaign, the club managed to turn things around and since the boxing day, they have secured 35 points in the league. Only the top three Premier League clubs - Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool have registered more points than Pochettino's team.

Speaking to reporters, the Argentine said, "The problem in England, what happens, if after 10 games you are at the top and winning games, what happens after is relative. The problem is we are punished because of the first 10 games. If we count after 10 games, I think we are in the top four. That is the problem because you are punished because of the first 10 games.

"Look, I want to be positive. I don't want to talk anymore. I don't want to say we are young and we have had to cope with injuries. If not, about the evolution in different aspects of the game and to evolve and be positive. Now it is like we are stuck, like the song of Coldplay, stuck and reverse. We are stuck in every single press conference. Stuck and going back in reverse. [Do] you remember the song? I am a fan [of Coldplay]. The song is Fix You."

There have been speculations over the former Tottenham Hotspur manager's future at Stamford Bridge beyond the current campaign after he endured a turbulent first season in charge. He has been linked with a move to AC Milan as the Serie A giants look to replace outgoing manager Stefano Pioli.

After winning their last three Premier League games, the 2016/17 champions will aim to finish the season on a high as they take on Brighton and Bournemouth in their last two matches of the campaign respectively.
