Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino spoke about the team's position this season ahead of the FA Cup match against Aston Villa.
"I didn't finish in 12th place last season. Yes, it was with Chelsea, but now we have a completely different squad, a lot of changes. You can make these comparisons if you want to hurt us, but I think it's inappropriate. I don't think it's gotten better or worse, if you analyse the situation. It's hard to compare because we have a completely different project now," the BBC quoted the 51-year-old Argentine as saying.
In the current campaign, Pochettino's team ranks 11th in the Premier League standings with 31 points.
