YOUR CAREER IS OVER: Pochettino Has instructed Chelsea Star To Pack His Bags And Leave Stamford Bridge after having less touches than the Goal keeper
Following the dismissal of captain Reece James, Anthony Gordon scored the fourth goal for the home team. As a result, Chelsea is now 10 points behind fourth-place Tottenham, who are not scheduled to play until Sunday.
Due to his touchline ban, Pochettino was forced to watch the game from the stands. He was furious with his team’s performance, calling it “so easy” for Newcastle, and as a result, he cancelled the squad’s day off.
“It was our worst game of the season,” the Argentine coach remarked in an interview with Premier League Productions following the encounter. It was hard to watch from the stands.
We didn’t watch the entire game, so we can’t be upset about the outcome. We lacked passion and drive, and we did not play how we ought to.
Even with our goal, 1-1, we had a chance to have them play deep, but Newcastle had an easy time of it. That explains why I find the performance so offensive.
“Your team may need to experience this kind of scenario in order to realise [the necessary standards],” he stated.
We had a conversation in the locker room following the game because, in a typical scenario, I believe we should head straight to the hotel, crash, and begin training early the next day with no day off.
However, I believe that we must hold everyone accountable—we cannot [only] blame the athletes.
And in my opinion, it’s a process of realising that we must strengthen our ability to accept responsibility if we hope to compete at the level that others believe we should.
And naturally, take lessons from situations like this one. Despite having a really talented team, competing is not the same as actually playing.
