Chelsea 'So Far Away From Target', Says Manager Mauricio Pochettino
Mauricio Pochettino has accepted Chelsea are failing to meet pre-season expectations after falling off the pace in the race for the Premier League title. The Blues' home form has been solid enough, with three successive wins in December ahead of Wednesday's match against London rivals Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. But Chelsea's results on the road have been a different story, with defeat against Wolves at Molineux on Christmas Eve their fourth straight away loss on the spin following reverses at Newcastle, Manchester United and Everton.
