BBC chief football writer Phil McNulty has been taking questions from supporters of various clubs on Monday.

Aaron M asked: How long has Mauricio Pochettino got before he is really under pressure at Chelsea?

Phil answered: I think he should been given this season at least to steady a ship that has been rocking for a couple of years - but there is no doubt it’s been a disappointing start and Chelsea have been a very volatile club.

The strange thing is I’ve seen Chelsea show really good signs against Arsenal and Manchester City - then they simply capitulate at Newcastle United.

Every Chelsea manager is under pressure and Pochettino is no different, but there surely comes a time when a manager has to be shown some patience, especially with so many new players to mould into a team.
