This is EPL though, the toughest league in the world in the last few years. It was always a battle outside of City and United for 3-4 places. Klopp finished 8th in his first season at Liverpool, and lost the EL final, missing CL places as well.
In his 2nd season he barely made 4th, 1 point over 5th place. Chelsea have no right to demand instant results with a team in rebuilding.
Eh, I don't know. He inherited a stronger squad than what Klopp had. In fact, I'd rate the Chelsea squad a clear 3rd best in the EPL. Which means that even allowing for growing pains, top 4 is not an unreasonable expectation.
Finishing below Leicester would also be a bad look. I'm not saying sack him. I'm just saying it takes a bit of shine off his recent stock.
