Mauricio Pochettino said after today’s game that his players had accepted in the end that they were happy to play for penalties.
Shaka Hislop called this explanation “inexcusable” in a spicy rant on his ESPN show.
He, along with many people online, have been absolutely stunned by these comments from the coach..
As the team point out in the clip, all the momentum was with Chelsea at the end of regular, and there was no fatigue at the end of 90 minutes. They just bottled it.
Ale Morena went a step further and said Pochettino had shown a “loser’s attitude” by admitting Chelsea had allowed themselves to play for penalties.
