THE uncertainty around Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea future is beginning to look ridiculous.

Pochettino has turned corner and deserves to stay on

Pochettino remains in the dark over whether he will continue at Stamford Bridge next season, with Chelsea planning an end-of-season review that will ultimately determine his fate.

But he is quietly stringing together an impressive run of results and Chelsea must now keep him on.

Saturday's spirited 3-2 comeback win at Nottingham Forest means the Blues are still in the hunt for Europa League qualification. Only Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool have won more points than Chelsea since Boxing Day, and only the Gunners have scored more goals in the last 13 matches.

Pochettino is showing what he can do when his players are fit and there are enough green shoots to suggest they are on the right path under him.

It has been quite some journey for Chelsea since their 5-0 defeat at Arsenal three weeks ago.
