Chelsea lost 1-4 at Liverpool, then slumped to a chastening 2-4 home defeat against Wolves on Sunday. Pochettino was jeered by angry Chelsea fans during the Wolves capitulation, leading to fresh speculation that the Argentine could be in danger of the sack.

"Football is my passion, not my job. Sometimes we say ‘job' but it's the wrong word. Football is entertainment. Being coach, I need to keep a sense of why I am here. We need to be focused to play football," said Pochettino, whose Chelsea are languishing in 11th place.
