Richard Keys was left in disbelief at what happened at full-time of Chelsea’s draw with Arsenal on Saturday.
He claimed during BEIN Sports’ coverage of the game that Mauricio Pochettino joking with a member of the Arsenal coaching staff infuriated him, questioning whether the Argentine is a real winner.
Pochettino coached an extremely impressive performance for the Blues at Stamford Bridge, however some costly errors saw them only leave with a point.
One of his most notable tactical decisions was playing both Cole Palmer and Conor Gallagher in the number 10 role, with no natural striker utilised.
Despite frustration among the fanbase and staff at the full-time result, Pochettino was still seen in conversation with Arsenal’s goalkeeper coach at the end of the game.
Pochettino angers Keys
Keys was furious at this, questioning his credentials as a winner as a result.
He said: “Am I the only one that’s got a problem with this? You’re the manager of a side two up that’s cruising until you keeper hands a way back into the game to the opposition and you leave the field smiling and joking with the opposition goalkeeping coach.
“Why can’t you get up off your seat head down the tunnel, be angry that your team have thrown away two points and let them know when you get in?
“I just wonder sometimes if it means enough, is there a winner in there? Show what you meant to the Chelsea fans. Not go off laughing and joking with the opposition.”
Chelsea supporters will completely disagree with Keys’ anger, and instead be very impressed with the steps being taken to bring the club back towards the top.
