  • Why You're WRONG About POCHETTINO!There is a growing sentiment at Stamford Bridge that suggests Mauricio Pochettino is the problem at Chelsea. Some prominent Chelsea accounts believe that Pochettino should be replaced. However, I find it deeply troubling and unfathomable that anyone could blame Pochettino for the current situation at the club. In this article, I will present a clear case as to why I believe Pochettino needs to be backed wholeheartedly and why he is the only hope of getting out of this mess.Pochettino is the only genuine football man at Chelsea who truly understands the game and the culture of football. He is the only person with a voice and say in the club. Therefore, we must pledge allegiance to him. It is misguided to direct anger and ire towards Pochettino when the true problem lies with the board.Despite the disastrous start to the season, Pochettino is clearly capable of managing the current group of players. Whatever your opinion may be, he deserves our unwavering support and love. It would be detrimental and unstable to make such a drastic move as replacing him at this early stage of the season. Let us stand behind Pochettino and believe that he can lead Chelsea out of this catastrophe.
  • Subtitles section
  • I am deeply troubled by what I have just read.
  • It seems that there is a sentiment that is starting to spread and gather traction at Stamford Bridge that suggests that Mauricio Pochettino is the problem at the club.
  • There seems to be some rather large Chelsea accounts that believe that Pochettino needs to be replaced.
  • Six games into the season, the instability that that would cause, the ramifications of making such a drastic move this early in the season, I cannot get my head around it.
  • It is totally unfathomable to me how you can see what's been going on at Chelsea and blame Mauricio Pochettino.
  • Yes, Mauricio Pochettino's getting it wrong.
  • Now look, in this video, I'm going to make a clear case as to why I believe that Mauricio Pochettino needs to be backed.
  • I think that whatever you think is going on at the club, Pochettino needs to be backed wholeheartedly.
  • We need to pledge unilateral, aggressive love and support to Mauricio Pochettino because he is our only hope of getting out of this mess.
  • He is the only genuine football man at that club who has an understanding of the game.
  • He is the only person at the club that has any sort of voice, any sort of say, that understands the culture of football.
  • He is the only football man, and therefore we must pledge allegiance to him.
  • The fact that some people are having a conversation around Boli and Egg Bali getting rid of Pochettino.
  • If you are directing your ire and anger, and legitimate anger in fact, it's legitimate anger because this season has been a catastrophe already.
  • But if you are directing your ire and venom anywhere aside from the board, you are so misguided.
  • Mauricio Pochettino, whatever you think of him, is clearly good enough to manage this crop of players.
  • He clearly has a proven track record to get Chelsea out of this situation that we find ourselves in.
  • Mauricio Pochettino is not the problem.
  • The problem is the venture capitalists, whose sole purpose is to extract money from our club.
  • When they bought the club, did anybody ask why?
  • Why did they buy it?
  • Why did Todd Boli want to buy the club?
  • He didn't buy it because he loved Stamford Bridge.
  • He didn't buy it because when he was growing up he idolised Ray Wilkins.
  • He thought that Ron Harris was a pretty good chap perhaps.
  • Of course he didn't.
  • He bought Chelsea for the furtherance of his economic value and gain.
  • That is why he purchased Chelsea.
  • And Mauricio Pochettino is a football man.
  • Truly a football man.
  • Played the game top level and has managed at the top level.
  • And yet some people are genuinely seeing Pochettino as the problem.
  • Now look, I don't agree with this on any level.
  • But I will concede that Pochettino is making mistakes.
  • And some of the mistakes, they feel unforgivable at the time.
  • The fact that he persists with Levi Colwell as a left back.
  • It's incredibly frustrating.
  • It's totally unnecessary.
  • And it destabilises our rhythm and team.
  • When you explore why he's doing that as well.
  • He's doing it, I think, to preserve Thiago Silva's status in the team.
  • Which again, I think can be explored.
  • So I find Colwell's positioning really annoying.
  • I find Colwell's positioning even more annoying when you think of the fact that we've got three left backs available to Pochettino.
  • So yeah, it's annoying.
  • Enzo Fernandes is obviously playing too far forward.
  • Ben Chilwell is costing us games because he's playing out of position.
  • He's playing as a left winger.
  • And when he gets a chance, because he's playing so far forward, he invariably doesn't take it.
  • I'd say every game so far this season where he's played as a left winger, he's had an opportunity.
  • And because he doesn't have that ruthless finish, we aren't scoring the goals.
  • So yeah, Pochettino's getting some things wrong.
  • Pochettino is desperately in need of improvement.
  • He must steady this ship.
  • We must win our next two league games.
  • I would love to beat Brighton in the cup.
  • And it is essential that Pochettino improves.
  • Now, if you are feeling like Pochettino needs to be replaced, I do see where you're coming from.
  • We are so far off our rivals.
  • Or should I say our so-called rivals.
  • When you watch what Arsenal are doing, when you watch what Tottenham are doing, it drives you mad.
  • Even Manchester United.
  • They've lost three games already this season.
  • They've practically doubled the points we have.
  • I know how frustrating it is.
  • But ask yourselves why.
  • And who is at the epicentre of the problem?
  • Is it Mauricio Pochettino, a man who took Tottenham to a European final?
  • A man who has won La Liga?
  • Is it Mauricio Pochettino?
  • Or is it this ridiculously idiotic board?
  • Realistically, what can Pochettino do?
  • Think about it.
  • What can he do?
  • It is this board who have spent a billion quid and provided him with Nicholas Jackson.
  • It's this squad who have spent a billion quid and haven't really given him a sense forward.
  • They have provided Pochettino with the most profligate striker in the league.
  • That's a fact.
  • Nicholas Jackson is the most profligate striker in the league.
  • He is more weightful than any other striker currently playing football in the Premier League.
  • So the board have spent a billion and that is who they have provided Mauricio Pochettino with.
  • Realistically, what can he do?
  • So when things aren't going well, when we're a goal down, who does he bring on?
  • He needs a striker to bring on.
  • He's bringing on Brogia.
  • Off the back of spending a billion quid, he's bringing on Brogia.
  • How is that even possible?
  • We have managed to amass 28 shots on target in our Premier League game.
  • 28 shots on target.
  • We scored five goals.
  • What can Pochettino do?
  • We don't have a clear-cut finisher.
  • We don't have someone in the squad who can take a game by the scruff of the neck.
  • You know those senior pros?
  • Remember back in the day when it was Essien, Makalele, Balak, Lampard, Terry, Ashley Cole?
  • It didn't matter.
  • They would say, right, this is what's going to happen here.
  • We demand.
  • We're losing to Villa.
  • We're on the 70th minute.
  • We're losing to Villa.
  • Balak says no.
  • We're going to right this wrong.
  • We're going to right this wrong.
  • We've got 20 minutes and we're going to win this game.
  • Everyone in our squad is a child.
  • Nobody has that sort of aura.
  • Nobody has that sort of status to demand that everybody elevates their game.
  • And that is because the board are signing players who they believe will increase in value, not players who they believe will increase the performance on the pitch.
  • It's not about signing good footballers.
  • It's not about accruing points.
  • It's not about creating a team that can challenge at the very top.
  • It is about creating a team that will increase in value.
  • And the way that you do that is sign good, young footballers, put them on massive contracts and as the tide rises in football, as the money exponentially goes up, so does their value, so does the value of the club.
  • And that is how they extract as much money out of the club as possible.
  • So Mauricio Pochettino, he is fighting with his hands tied behind his back.
  • What can he do?
  • Because he hasn't been provided with the players that he needs.
  • So we need Pochettino at the club.
  • We desperately do.
  • And if you are judging him now, you are so harsh.
  • Because I don't like using injuries as an excuse.
  • And in fact, I'm not using injuries as an excuse here.
  • I'm just using them as a reason.
  • Chelsea have 12 players out.
  • Why do we have so many injuries, do you ask?
  • How's our medicals?
  • Yeah, yeah, we've got a new medical team.
  • Why do we have a new medical team?
  • Because the entire medical team got sacked by Todd Bowley.
  • A man who totally understands football, by the way.
  • Understands what footballers need when looking at it through a medical prism.
  • He totally gets that.
  • And now we've got 12 players out.
  • First teamers as well.
  • And in Christopher Nkunku, the player that Pochettino would build a team around.
  • We saw it in pre-season.
  • The jewel in our crown in pre-season was Christopher Nkunku.
  • We were going to build a team around him.
  • Pochettino had set up for everything to revolve around Nkunku.
  • So before we judge Pochettino, before we even dream of talking about sacking Pochettino, surely, surely, we have to see Pochettino manage a team that is his perfect team, his first team.
  • Or at least get his best player back, surely, his key man.
  • So I think that it's wild.
  • I do understand why people are feeling so angry.
  • I do get it.
  • But we must remember that it is this board who have sold off the players who understand the club.
  • It's this board who have provided him with only youth.
  • It's this board who have made woeful decisions in the transfer market.
  • It's this board who have...
  • Think of any example.
  • Think of any example.
  • Billy Gilmore, how's he doing at the moment, right?
  • Callum Hudson-Odoi.
  • We basically gave Callum Hudson-Odoi away for free.
  • Callum Hudson-Odoi left the club.
  • Four million quid, we'll call it.
  • Four million.
  • We signed Mauricio Pochettino.
  • Excuse me.
  • We signed...
  • Mauricio...
  • We signed Mikhailo Mudrik for 88 million.
  • Whether you think Mikhailo Mudrik's a better player, is he that much better?
  • Is he 84 million pounds worth of better?
  • Have you ever seen Mikhailo Mudrik score a goal like Callum Hudson-Odoi scored the other night?
  • I most certainly haven't.
  • Even if you think about the game the other day.
  • You know, we obviously spent, what, 220 million quid on Caicedo and Fernandez.
  • And look at what Villa did.
  • You know, Villa, Dougie Luis and Kamara, 15 million.
  • So it's all very well to talk about owners spending money.
  • I said that the owners are terrible.
  • I said I want our owners out on Twitter.
  • And everybody went wild.
  • Everybody went wild.
  • And lots of fans from other clubs started saying to me, but they spend all the money.
  • They spend loads of money.
  • There is a difference between being a good manager and being a splashy manager.
  • Being a good owner and a splashy owner.
  • You can be a really bad owner and spend lots of money.
  • If you are a venture capitalist billionaire, spending money is the easiest thing in the world for you.
  • Nurturing the club, taking care of the club, not doing everything for your own ends is so much more difficult.
  • So look, we haven't scored in, what, three games now.
  • We are totally and utterly all over the place.
  • But it isn't a Pochettino issue.
  • We haven't scored goals this year.
  • And that's all under the same ownership.
  • This calendar year, it doesn't matter who was manager.
  • It doesn't matter whether it's Potter.
  • It doesn't matter whether it's Lampard.
  • It doesn't matter whether it's Pochettino.
  • We can't score goals.
  • And why can't we score goals?
  • Because the players are not purchased with that in mind.
  • If you want to genuinely improve Chelsea for today, you go and sign James Madison, don't you?
  • Not Cole Palmer.
  • If you really want to improve Chelsea for today, you go and sign James Will Pras.
  • You don't go and sign Romeo Lavia.
  • If you want to improve Chelsea for today, you sign a centre-forward with a proven track record of scoring goals in the Premier League today.
  • You don't sign Nicholas Jackson, who had a purple patch for Villarreal towards the end of last season.
  • So, yes, Pochettino is getting some stuff wrong.
  • But we have to employ an element of critical thinking here.
  • He's obviously a good manager, but he is being led down the garden path by this board who couldn't care less about Chelsea and are only in it for the money.
  • So any conversation around Pochettino's future, he is the only football person at the club.
  • He's the only person at the club with any sort of proven track record.
  • Oh, it's painful, isn't it?
  • But for me, we wholeheartedly have to back Mauricio Pochettino.
  • Please let me know your thoughts on this, by the way.
  • Really interested.
  • I don't know if this is going to divide opinion.
  • I don't know if this is a divisive point.
  • But my mind was blown.
  • I tried to stay off social, but I went on and saw loads of conversation around potentially sacking Pochettino.
  • My mind was blown.
  • Thank you for watching.
