'Booing your own only gets you so far'

It is difficult not to imagine a world in which a very expensively assembled squad representing a club used to winning trophies for the best part of three decades, but which finds itself in the most mid-table of positions and recently rather meekly lost a domestic cup final, would not occasionally be admonished by its own supporters. Mauricio Pochettino taking a large brunt of that over recent weeks is not a surprise. This Chelsea team is nowhere near the finished article and often lacks composure and resilience in attack and defence.
