Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has snapped back at his and his team’s critics lately after he saw his side beat Newcastle United 3-2 at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League last night.
There has been a bit of a battle of late between Pochettino, the media, and the Chelsea fan base, a fan base with the majority actually wanting to see the manager sacked many weeks ago now.
EXCLUSIVE! Pochettino succession plan in place, De Zerbi unlikely, Howe & Flick considered, Owners should explain vision, Chelsea CAN afford Osimhen, FFP/PSR situation explained, Fans turning toxic, More in The Ben Jacobs inside Chelsea column!
It is a divide that has just got bigger, and Pochettino’s words in public and failure to create a connection with the fan base, has only saw his demise get worse and worse.
Still, it was a good win last night and the pressure would have eased on the head coach. The fans would have certainly enjoyed that win.
However, Pochettino still decided to once again repeat what he always says about this Chelsea project, claiming that people are not listening to him.
Asked if tonight felt like a big win after some recent pressure,Pochettino told reporters last night: “I think we need to understand we are in Chelsea and of course when you are in a project that is completely different, some people can be confused. When people don’t want to listen, it is difficult, but we are trying to explain that we are in a different Chelsea, building something different and of course it is going to be tough.”
Well Poch, people ARE listening, but you are just missing the point unfortunately. We all know it’s a project, but we all still want to see more progression than being sat in 11th place in mid-March. It’s as simple as that, we are not stupid and you should really stop insulting our intelligence with comments like this.
