Chelsea are currently in 14th place in the Premier League, after picking up just one win from their first six matches if the season.
Chelsea have only netted five goals this season, and have conceded six – in what has been a terrible season so far.
Chelsea’s season so far has been affected by a string of injuries to key players – with as much as 12 players being absent from the squad.
More recently, Trevoh Chalobah’s personal trainer slammed the team’s training methods and blamed it for causing injury to the players.
Following the leak of his message, ex-Spurs star Aaron Lennon admitted Pochettino has a gruelling training regime – which affected them at Spurs initially.
On whether it is helpful to have such stories leak out, Lennon told Stadium Astro: “No definitely not, and I think that’s the last thing you need.
“When you’re not getting results on the pitch, and then things are coming out from inside the dressing room, it makes it all a little bit of a circus.
“It’s a bit like Man United at the minute, it’s just story after story, and that’s when, normally, things are not going well and players are unhappy.
“If you do look at the injury list, I actually looked at it and thought [about] Pochettino’s training methods.
“He does change the training routine. He did it when he came to Spurs. Some of our players, we did struggle at the beginning because it was a completely different load and maybe that is playing a part.”
Reflecting on Chelsea’s start to the campaign, Lennon continued: “I really think Chelsea are in for a tough season.
“We’ve talked about changing so many players and so many managers, and a lot of these players are really young, they’ve not played in the league and they’ve come for big, big price tags.
“The pressure of what Chelsea fans expect, they’re not going to accept this.
“They’re on five points in six games, no goals in three games. For Chelsea? It’s unheard of. They’re under massive pressure and I really think Pochettino has got a difficult, difficult task at hand.”
