Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that he is not frustrated with the rough start the Blues have had so far this season.

The Blues have just picked up five points from five Premier League games since the start of the 2023/2024 campaign. The latest disappointing result was a 0-0 draw against Bournemouth last weekend.

However, the Argentine coach admits that instead of being frustrated by the goalless draw, he feels optimistic towards his team.

Pochettino said: “I am not frustrated because if we talk about performances, I think the team is performing well. We cannot complain about the performance of the team, with  different players and missing many key players also from the team.

“I am not frustrated. I am disappointed because I think many teams with less chances have scored more. That is the feeling, that is why we feel bad. Because the players deserved more and the deserved more. But the only way to find what we want is to keep pushing, keep playing, keep doing the right things that we are doing, replicate them again and again in every single game.

“I am so happy about the way they felt after Bournemouth and after Nottingham Forest. They really care about the club. They really care about winning games. They really care about performing better. This week was good to work really hard and create a good atmosphere every single day to try to translate to the competition.”
