Mauricio Pochettino says Chelsea have to accept the criticism after they were booed by their own fans at Manchester United.<\/p>\n
Some in the away section turned on Pochettino\u2019s players as they went towards them following a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea that could have been far bigger.<\/p>\n
Pochettino said: \u2018We cannot say nothing to the fans. The fans, they react how they feel. We cannot blame them or say nothing. Again, we have to accept it. If we are not playing well it is normal that we will be criticised from them and we need to accept that.\u2019<\/p>\n
Pochettino, though, did appeal for calm and balance when assessing 10th-placed Chelsea and their season.<\/p>\n
Defeats at Newcastle and Manchester United have come either side of a battling victory with 10 men against Brighton.<\/p>\n

Chelsea turned in another limp performance in the away clash before they travelled to Old Trafford, losing 4-1 to an injury-hit Newcastle side<\/p>\n
He said: \u2018After Brighton I think it was all completely different the feelings and now after Manchester.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018We cannot move in extremes. We cannot go from zero to 100 and 100 to zero. It is normal this type of situation. This type of period of course is tough because we are in Chelsea but I think we need to see the reality that sometime we struggle and then we don\u2019t have the possibility to use all the elements of the squad.<\/p>\n
\u2018Not only us, any club in the Premier League can struggle. I think there are too many positive things from the beginning of the season. It is about to try to keep going, being calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Not too much when we won and not too down when you lose. The balance is the most important in this period.\u2019<\/p>\n
He did insist, though, that he will make Chelsea challengers again, adding: \u2018No, no, no [it is not a harder job than I thought].<\/p>\n
\u2018Better should be [to be] in a different position for sure but we knew when we accept this offer that it\u2019s going to be tough. [But] We are going to challenge yes, maybe not now but for sure in the future.<\/p>\n
\u2018Who knows [when]? Who knows? I hope as soon as possible but for sure we are going to challenge the top four.\u2019<\/p>\n
