Mauricio Pochettino identified a big problem with his Chelsea team and the way they had played last night.
Liverpool were always going to be very strong, and the best way to deal with that and the home crowd is to keep the ball away from them and slow the game down.
But as Pochettino said in his interview last night, “after we recover the ball, after the first or second touch, we lose the ball so easily.”
That’s just pure nerves, players not able to even play the ball around calmly because of the intense atmosphere and pressure from Liverpool.
