A letter written by the Chelsea Supporters바카라 Trust to senior management on March 8 described a 바카라critically low mood바카라 amongst fans that it felt could not be ignored if a situation of 바카라irreversible toxicity바카라 was to be avoided.

The team are 11th in the league and face the likelihood of a second successive season out of Europe if they fail to overcome Manchester City in next month바카라s FA Cup semi-final and go on to win the competition.

Pochettino바카라s tenure has been badly marred by a persistent and lengthy injury list, with nine players confirmed absent for Saturday바카라s meeting with Burnley at Stamford Bridge.

However, it has not stopped fans turning on the former Tottenham boss in recent weeks, including during the FA Cup win over Leicester before the international break.

A section of supporters sang 바카라you don바카라t know what you바카라re doing바카라 before Chelsea edged past the Championship side 4-2 with two stoppage-time goals, and at previous home games were heard singing the names of former manager Jose Mourinho and ex-owner Roman Abramovich.

"I바카라m going to support the owners that invest and that arrived to the club in a very difficult situation,바카라 said Pochettino.

바카라The intention is very good. The owners are trying to develop a different project to before. Fans need to understand that it바카라s a new project with different ideas.

바카라What we cannot say is they바카라re not investing and that they don바카라t have good intentions. They are suffering.바카라

Despite supporter ire, there have been signs of promise in recent results and performances.

Chelsea have not lost in the league in almost two months since a 4-2 defeat to Wolves at the start of February, and dominated an albeit inexperienced Liverpool team in the Carabao Cup final before losing to a goal in the last minute of extra-time.

Victory over the Clarets on Saturday and at home to Manchester United on Thursday would likely drag them into contention for a place in next season바카라s Europa Conference League.

바카라If you look at all the data, in the table we should be in fourth position,바카라 said Pochettino. 바카라But for different reasons, we are not there.

바카라What the data means is that we are in a good way. In which area do we need to improve? It바카라s things (that will come) with time. We need to compete better, small details. You can only get this with experience with time playing together.

바카라It바카라s easy to find the data when you want to kill someone. But when the data is good and reflects the team is doing well but for different reasons we바카라re not getting the results we deserve, (we should) trust in the process.

바카라We know really well what we are doing. That바카라s why I laugh. I don바카라t take it personally when the fans say that.바카라
