But Pochettino insisted he understands the fans' fury and admitted he would feel the same if he were one of them.

He said at his press conference on Thursday: “I have nothing to complain, nothing to say, we understand the situation.

“We need to accept the criticism. We need to try to improve the way we play and the result and try to change this feeling.

“Let's hope that on Monday the fans support us and help the team win the game.

“But we have to accept that this is football. Maybe if I were a fan, I would behave the same as them, because it is Chelsea and we are not living up to expectations.”

When asked how his situation with the fans could change, Pochettino said: “I can't do anything.

“The way they can believe in us is by winning games. After Wolverhampton, we didn't lose for 90 minutes.
