Mauricio Pochettino issued a rallying cry to Chelsea’s players in the dressing room straight after losing to Aston Villa on Sunday.
That is according to a report from The Daily Mail.
They claim that the Chelsea head coach told his players it will take a collective effort from the squad to perform a U-turn on a poor start to the season, winning just one of the opening six Premier League matches.
In addition, Mauricio Pochettino said he’s got trust in the current stars and a belief they can turn things around.
We’ve frequently heard glowing references about Pochettino as a great man-manager. For example, Blues star Conor Gallagher recently explained Pochettino has plenty of “honest and open” conversations with the Chelsea players, as quoted by Chelsea’s X account.
Hopefully, Pochettino’s words immediately after the Villa result at the weekend can make a positive impact.
The Chelsea fanbase feels completely deflated right now because results have been poor for almost a year now. Can this group of players lift things in the next few games before the next international break, though?
The team continue to be unstuck by failing to take their goalscoring chances even though they are creating them in every game.
Chelsea will try to lift the mood when they host Brighton tomorrow night in the third round of the Carabao Cup. With no European football this season, a run in the domestic cup competitions feels extra important.
However, many people will pin Pochettino’s side as underdogs against an impressive Brighton, despite the fact the contest is at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues will continue to post these poor results until they find a clinical touch in the final third. This Wednesday would be a great place to start doing that!
