MAURICIO POCHETTINO has been warned that his Chelsea stars are \u201clearning how to walk again\u201d, with many \u201cstill scarred from last season\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Blues have already spent a whopping \u00a31billion under Todd Boehly following his 2022 takeover.<\/p>\n But they have little to show for it after already working their way through FOUR game-day managers.<\/p>\n Fans are hoping fifth time\u2019s the charm with ex-Tottenham gaffer Pochettino.<\/p>\n Yet despite a promising pre-season, Chelsea have won just four of their 13 league games under the Argentine.<\/p>\n They currently sit 10th in the table, just two places above last season\u2019s finish.<\/p>\n And big-money signings such as Enzo Fernandez have struggled to get going in a new-look system.<\/p>\n Chelsea are now preparing to dip into the market once again for reinforcements.<\/p>\n They will also soon be boosted by the returns of Christopher Nkunku and Romeo Lavia, with both players yet to make a competitive appearance.<\/p>\n And former Chelsea star Emmanuel Petit reckons his old side are slowly but surely on the right track.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS & NEW CUSTOMER BONUSES<\/strong><\/p>\n Even so, he has warned fans and Pochettino that it will still take a long time for things to properly click.<\/p>\n That\u2019s because many players in the current squad were part of last term\u2019s disastrous project.<\/p>\n And they are still shrugging off the disappointment that came under Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, Bruno Saltor and Frank Lampard.<\/p>\n Petit told Lord Ping: \u201cI think that Chelsea are looking better than last season and, under Pochettino, they are gradually improving. Some individual players have performed well this season, Raheem Sterling for example.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI think that this team is still scarred from what happened to them last season. It will take time to see the best of Chelsea as a team.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThere are so many new players that have joined the club and I think a lot of these players have not performed at their best level since they signed (for the club).\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI think in the big games this season, they have shown character. This is not the best Chelsea team that we have seen – they can improve much more \u2013 they are starting from a position of recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThey are learning how to walk again after a bruising period last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m pretty sure that we will see a better Chelsea team after January. I was not surprised by the result against Newcastle, they still have a lot of things to sort out, but they are on the right track.\u201d<\/p>\n
