I posted this at the beginning of the season. I was not wrong.
We easily could have finished 4th position this season if we weren't conceding so many goals, and this was my fear before the season began.
We were scoring a lot of goals but also conceding a lot. Pochettino needs to work on his defensive game because conceding a lot of goals undermines the overall work of the team.
Overall though, I'd say we had a good second half of the season. Next season should be better. We just need Poch to improve on his defensive game, and we need to sign one or two solid Centre Backs.

Welcome to Chelsea seΓ±or Pochettino.π
Even though I love the fact that he plays attacking football and his strikers get goals, I must admit that I'm afraid of the fact that his teams concede so many goals.
Chelsea as a team have shown that we are not so good with managers who don't keep a lot of clean sheets. e.g. Villas Boas
Lampard in his first season would have had a better finish than 4th if not that his Chelsea team conceded so much at the time.
Sarri almost lost a top 4 finish because Chelsea were conceding a lot.
Tuchel's problems started when Chelsea started to concede goals.
Even Lampard's second coming was highly atrocious because we not only couldn't score, we were also conceding so much.
Pochettino at PSG was conceding so much(even with the number of stars he had in his team) which ultimately reduce the amount of games he would've won and also the number of trophies he could've won too and that led to his sack.
His Tottenham and Southampton teams also conceded a lot.
In any case, he's our coach now and we have to get behind him, give him all our support and hope for the best.
Welcome Mauricio Pochettino πππ
