Former Chelsea star, Glen Johnson has shared his own theory as to why things have not yet come together, despite the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as manager.

The Argentine was hired around the end of last season after Graham Potter was fired.

Naturally, Pochettino has come to Chelsea with his own backroom staff, and according to Johnson, that, together with the many new players that Chelsea have signed over the last few months, have not allowed them to enjoy any form of stability.

He told GGRecon: “It’s not just the amount of new players they’ve brought into the club during the summer, but they’ve also lost half of their backroom staff. Everybody doesn’t notice things like this on the weekend when the team is playing.

“They’ve changed more than half of their squad, half their backroom staff, they’ve brought in a new manager and the owners are still relatively new to the Premier League, so it’s as if Chelsea are a completely different football club now to what they were a few years ago.

“It’s going to take time for Chelsea to be successful again and I’m sure that some of the young players they’ve brought in are going to be big stars for the club going forward.

“This team just needs to get through this season, finish as high in the table as they can and have a pre-season with the same group of lads who’re at the club now, and after a year’s worth of experience together, they can continue to build next season.”
