Dean Saunders believes that following Chelsea’s 4-1 loss to Newcastle United yesterday, Mauricio Pochettino is engaging in risky behavior.
This morning (26/11/2023) at 06:45, Dean Saunders was on talkSPORT, following some thought-provoking remarks from Mauricio Pochettino.
Saunders believes that by casting doubt on his players’ level of effort, Pochettino has taken a chance.
The former striker for Aston Villa addressed the 51-year-old’s recent remarks on talkSPORT, saying: “What do you do this morning, Pochettino? He has openly stated that they haven’t put forth enough effort. Making such a claim when you’re losing is dangerous.
After Chelsea’s crushing loss at St. James’ Park, the Argentine criticised his team for not giving it their all in the match.
When assessing Thiago Silva’s mistake that led to Newcastle’s third goal, Pochettino was first cited by football.london as stating, “That is a mistake, I am not talking about mistakes.”
“I am talking more about energy, we were not in the right,” he continued. We weren’t the best prepared to compete today. Pochettino was not pleased with captain Reece James either, as he was sent out after receiving two yellow cards.
