Chelsea thumped Southampton 5-1 at St Mary's Stadium in the FA Cup in January but less than two weeks later they blew a two-goal lead as the Saints claimed a point at Stamford Bridge.
That proved to be Nigel Adkins' last day in the charge of Southampton and Cech has been impressed by the improvements Pochettino has made since his arrival.
And the Chelsea goalkeeper insisted the Blues cannot head to the south coast expecting another rout.
"In football, everything is different - you can have a first half that is completely different from the second half," Cech told the club's website.
"In the away game against Southampton we were very effective, taking our chances, and then at home we had a very good half - but the last half an hour of the game we allowed them to come back into it.
"You cannot do that in the Premier League.
"The teams are strong enough to grab the chance if you give it to them - everyone in the Premier League has that quality and will take it if you let them.
"They changed manager with Pochettino and they are more attacking, more organised with very good pressing which makes them more aggressive - and, in turn, more confident because of the success they've been having."
