After Chelsea’s defeat against Newcastle this Saturday, Mauricio Pochettino did not declare a state of emergency for his team.
Chelsea fell back into his ways. After a 4-1 victory on the pitch at Tottenham and a spectacular draw (4-4) against Manchester City, the Blues were devastated by the offensive strike force of Newcastle by chaining the balls, like the lax marking on Lascelles on the second goal, the missed pass from Thiago Silva on the third or even the red card from Reece James.
The Blues back to work
🔵 Pochettino: “It’s a young team, they need this type of situation to realize”.
“We can’t blame players, it’s the team together”.
“We’ll go to the hotel, then train early tomorrow, no time off”.
“We need to understand the level we need to compete, and learn”, told PL channel. pic.twitter.com/AwEhWWqI7z
