Pochettino hopes Chelsea fans support him as Newcastle fans back Howe

Chelsea's poor run of form has caused many Blues fans to lose faith in Mauricio Pochettino, who has so far failed to get the team performing to expectations. 

The Argentine manager faces a stern test in the next Premier League game when they host Newcastle at Stamford Bridge on Monday and has not minced his words when asked about his relationship with the fans. 

The former PSG boss hopes that one day he can receive similar treatment from Chelsea fans to that which Eddie Howe receives from the Magpies. "I hope one day Chelsea fans will support me the same way Newcastle do with Howe," he said.

"I say that because I am here, I am the coach of Chelsea and I want to win as much as our fans," concluded the Argentinian coach, who will be looking to get back to winning ways as they have gone almost 30 days without a win in the domestic championship since beating Palace on 12th February.
