Mauricio Pochettino has guided Chelsea to just one win in six Premier League games.

Chelsea’s only win in the league has come against newly promoted Luton Town.

The pressure is mounting at Stamford Bridge, and there have been rings of boos from the Blues fans this season.

Manchester United legend Roy Keane has blamed the Chelsea board for unsettling the dressing room.

Asked if the chaos within Chelsea’s hierarchy has contributed to the team’s poor performances, Keane said on The Overlap: “That doesn’t help.

“Without a doubt, without making excuses, that can affect the dressing room, the energy of your club, leadership. But also, with the players, when that whistle goes [you forget it].

“The only thing I’d say is from the dressing room is when you bring that amount of players together, I’ve never experienced it and it’s strange I’m actually talking about it, I can only imagine, it’s like when we were at the club, sometimes three or four new players would come in and you could just see that it’ll take them time to adapt, from a football point of view, off the field, their families, schools.

“I can only imagine going to training every day, I’d feel sorry for the kitman. It must be chaos.

“I’d love to go into a job and go, ‘can I have a 10-year project?’.

“Whatever we say about Chelsea’s project, if he [Pochettino] keeps losing football matches he will be under pressure.

“Maybe not this year [Pochettino will be sacked] but there will be pressure.”
