“You’re using this player in a wrong position and that’s why he has been performed poorly, You played him at the right position yesterday and he became a beast Vs WestHam yesterday”- Todd Boehly warned Pochettino to stop using “special” £100k-a-week Chelsea player in a wrong position if he wants to get the best out of him
Glenn Hoddle says a bad performance by a West Ham star cost them the game against Chelsea – walexsports.com
Glenn Hoddle slammed Emerson Palmieri, a defender for West Ham, after their 5-0 loss to Chelsea on Sunday.
This is the first time since December that Mauricio Pochettino’s team has won back-to-back Premier League games. They did it at Stamford Bridge.
Three goals in the first half from Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher, and Noni Madueke put Chelsea ahead 3-0. After the break, Nicolas Jackson scored twice to seal the win.
West Ham don’t look like they’re worried, Hoddle told Premier League Productions.
“They look like a team that only wants to play when they have the ball. Of course they do—that’s the fun part of the game.”
“As soon as Chelsea gets the ball, they don’t close down, and no one screams to pick up on the penalty spot or in other important spots. Their game isn’t consistent.”
Hoddle said, “Emerson’s still in the locker room” after the game, after looking at Jackson’s first goal, which made it 4-0 to Chelsea.
“He’s not on” three minutes into the second half. He just came out of that hallway from the locker room, and his position is terrible.
“At the end of the day, you need to show a little more than that, especially after giving up so many goals in the first half.”
At the same time, Jermain Defoe, a former West Ham scorer, said that the team’s defense was bad under Moyes.
Defoe said, “I don’t think that showing shows what West Ham is like as a football club.”
“When you play for West Ham, you can’t really compete with other teams in terms of how you play, and that performance doesn’t reflect West Ham at all. You have to work hard first and foremost.”
“I said Moyes is a defensive-minded manager. Well, you’d think that if you’re a defensive-minded manager, you don’t give up that many goals.”
You wouldn’t say that against a good Chelsea team, but if you look at Chelsea over the last 10 years, you wouldn’t say that you can go there and give up five goals.
