MAURICIO POCHETTINO still has the backing of his Chelsea players despite their horrendous start to the season.<\/p>\n

The Blues manager has won just one of his six Premier League games in charge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He also hit out at his young squad after Sunday's home loss to Aston Villa, telling them to "grow up".<\/p>\n

However, the Daily Mail report that Pochettino still has the support of his players at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

His approach since arriving in West London has been welcomed by the squad, the report adds.<\/p>\n

Pochettino's man-management skills have been praised, along with his willingness to engage with players.<\/p>\n

Sunday's loss to Villa has left Chelsea 14th in the Premier League, though, already nine points off the top four.<\/p>\n

Their victory at home to winless Luton remains their only win from the opening six games, with half of those ending in defeat.<\/p>\n

Chelsea's fortunes could still get worse, too, with a nightmare run of fixtures lying in wait after the October international break.<\/p>\n

Pochettino has already admitted owner Todd Boehly is "disappointed" with the club's start to the campaign.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Speaking after the defeat against Villa, he raged that his young side needs to "grow up".<\/p>\n

"Footballers want to win but players when they are young without experience make mistakes," Pochettino told reporters.<\/p>\n

"This is why we feel disappointed because we are seeing too many situations like this.<\/p>\n

"We need to change as soon as possible. We need to grow up like a team."<\/p>\n
