Reports have claimed that Mauricio Pochettino did his best in the final few minutes to urge the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge for more noise.
According to The Athletic, his efforts were met by a rousing response from the West London crowd as the Blues pushed for a winner.
Yesterday saw Pochettino take to Stamford Bridge for the first time as the home manager, and the reaction he got suggested supporters are more than excited for life under him.
After the display his side put in against Liverpool, they will have only seen those feelings intensify.
Despite only leaving the opening weekend with a point, it was the Blues that will feel like they were the ones most likely to leave with a win.
There were some particularly impressive performances. New captain and vice-captain Reece James and Ben Chilwell both proved their qualities and what they can bring particularly going forwards.
Pochettino hyped up Chelsea fans
There was also a debut goal for Axel Disasi, who was perhaps the surprise inclusion for the Blues who lined up in a different system to the one they had used in pre-season.
Despite this, the star was undoubtedly Enzo Fernandez, playing in a more advanced role than he had been last season.
Pochettino will have been impressed with what he saw. He handed six players his Chelsea debuts on a competitive stage too.
He will be hoping that he will be able to give another one out next weekend too when they travel across the capital to face West Ham United.
Yesterday it was reported that they had agreed a deal at last to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton.
With his medical occurring today, he will hopefully be available for Sunday’s game.
