Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Darren Bent fears there are more problems at Chelsea than he first thought after Chelsea’s faltering start to the new season.
Asked for his biggest surprise of the season so far, the former Premier League striker told Sky Sports: “From my perspective the surprise would probably be Chelsea.
“I thought they’d be a lot better they’ve shocked me how poor they’ve been. I thought with Pochettino and the amount of players they signed they be up there competing for the top four.
“The fact that they’re so far off it and the performances they’ve put in that’s really surprised me.
“I thought once they got the manager in, Pochettino knows how to work with a new squad, the success he had at Spurs.
“I just thought he’d be the final piece of the jigsaw to get them to where they want to get.
“The fact they’ve been so far off it tells me there’s more problems than we first thought. They’ve surprised me the most, I thought they’d be better than they are.”
