“Fix these two huge issues at Stamford Bridge and start winning games” – Pochettino told or else this will happen
Chelsea have endured a difficult start to the Premier League season, and journalist Paul Brown has explained to GIVEMESPORT two issues that Mauricio Pochettino needs to resolve.
The Blues have to improve if they want to qualify for European football by the end of the campaign.
“We need to accelerate all the process, because Chelsea is about to win, and we want to win. But I understand that the process is completely different to in the past. Because we have a different approach to the game and the philosophy and the ideas, (it means) we have a young squad of course. “(We have) very talented players that need time to perform. But for sure we have one of the best squads of young players with the project. But of course we need time. We need to be careful about how we evolve and how we develop these ideas. But it’s true, players that need to improve and improve.”
Chelsea now have one of the most expensive squads in European football, but Boehly is failing to see a return on his investment after a difficult start to the campaign.
They really lack someone who can be ruthless in front of goal – Paul Brown
Nicolas Jackson was signed during the summer transfer window, but at the age of 22, the former Villarreal man was never going to be the immediate answer. The Senegal international has never played more than 26 league games in one season, as per Transfermarkt, so relying on him to be the answer in attack was a risky move from Chelsea.
Brown has suggested that we’re unlikely to see an improvement in performances unless they solve the balance in the side and be more ruthless in front of goal. The journalist adds that Pochettino will need time and he should get this right eventually, possibly if they bring in a new number nine. Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, he said…
“They’re not playing badly, but I think the balance isn’t necessarily right and they really lack someone who can be ruthless in front of goal. I think until they solve those problems, I don’t see the form changing massively. Those two things do need to be resolved before we’re going to see any kind of major upsurge from Chelsea. But look, Pochettino is a good manager. He’s been here before, he knows this league. He’s built good teams and he knows how to be successful. I do think he’ll get this right. He’s going to need some time, he’s going to need some patience. If Chelsea fans run out of patience with him before long, that’s going to be a problem. We saw last season that the owners don’t give you forever to turn things around. But I do think that he’s going to need more time than this to get things right.”
