Andy Goldstein thinks Mauricio Pochettino could be out of a job if Chelsea don't beat Fulham and Burnley!

Premier League

Chelsea

Bournemouth

Chelsea were beaten 1-0 by Aston Villa at the weekend, recording their third defeat in six games. The Blues now sit 14th, four points ahead of 18th-placed Luton and nine behind fourth-placed Tottenham.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mauricio-pochettino-plea-chelsea-aston-villa/blt0c6aecea4b02bf08" target="_blank">Pochettino has already pleaded with the Chelsea board for patience</a>, insisting that he is overseeing a process at Stamford Bridge, but Goldstein believes that the club could decide to sack the Argentine if they fail to win their next two games, against Fulham and Burnley.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Goldstein said: "I look at the Chelsea side, it doesn't look like a Chelsea team. There's no spine to it. They can't score goals. They've got five goals in six games, three of them were against Luton. Since 2017, six years ago, they've spent just shy of €300m on strikers, none of them have delivered. I know they've got injuries, but all clubs have injuries. Nicolas Jackson has got one goal in six games. How much of this is the fault of the owner Todd Boehly? The reason I ask that is when he came in, he's spent over £1 billion on players, his background is not English football, and instantly, it was like a scattergun approach. Paying crazy money for all kinds of different players, lots of them they didn't need, they didn't address the problem from day one which was an out-and-out goalscorer and they still haven't got that."He added: "When you look at the teams they've got coming up (to play), Fulham away, Burnley away, Arsenal at home, Brentford at home, Spurs away, City at home, Newcastle away, Brighton at home, Manchester United away. When you're struggling, those are tough games. Even the next two. I personally think, if they don't beat Fulham and Burnley, he could be gone."

WHAT THEY SAID

The Blues face Brighton in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday before their return to league action against Fulham.
