“I can’t bench him for you no matter how bad he plays, he will always start all matches for Chelsea except when he’s injured”- Mauricio Pochettino says he has an untouchable player he can never sub off after snubbing a player who was already on the touch line against Newscattle
Pochettino is upset with a 23-year-old Chelsea player after their loss to Newcastle.
It’s because of Reece James that Mauricio Pochettino is upset about Chelsea’s 4-1 loss to Newcastle United yesterday.
On that afternoon, Reece James and Chelsea will never forget it. The right back got two yellow cards and was sent off that same day.
Mauricio Pochettino made it clear to football.london and other news sites how he felt about his captain getting sent off.
James will not play in Chelsea’s next Premier League game on Sunday against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Mauricio Pochettino is unhappy with Reece James
Pochettino thinks that James should not have been sent off.
“Disappointed,” the Argentine was quoted by football.london as saying about the 23-year-old’s firing. “Look, things like this happen in football. Of course we’re upset because we thought we’d finish with a player, but it’s what it is, and we have to deal with it.
Mauricio Pochettino has every reason to be upset with Reece James.
Alan Shearer thinks James had a tough game against Newcastle and that he let down his boss.
He should not have gotten a second yellow card for pulling down Anthony Gordon. This has put Pochettino in a tough spot before the Brighton game.
Additionally, Marc Cucurella will not be able to play in that game because he received his fifth caution of the season. It is also unknown if Malo Gusto will be able to play because he was injured and not included in the team for yesterday’s loss.
James should be doing a better job as captain and not getting so angry so quickly. Now that he is 23, some people will start to wonder if the England player is mature enough to lead this Chelsea team. On the show from yesterday, you would have to say no.
But maybe this will teach him something and make him a smarter player.
Their best player, James, needs the defender to be on the game. When he keeps getting hurt, there’s not much he can do, but it’s up to him whether he gets sent off or not.
