“He’s lying to all Chelsea fans”, “Sack him tomorrow” – Chelsea fans slam Mauricio Pochettino’s latest comments on Chelsea star
Chelsea fans have slammed manager Mauricio Pochettino after his odd comments following their loss to Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg.
The manager was recently speaking ahead of their upcoming Premier League match against Fulham, where he made a wrong statement.Pochettino was making an attempt to reduce the sting of the Blues’ loss to Middlesbrough, who are currently mid-table in the Championship.
His argument was that other Premier League teams had lost to Boro, but he ended up referencing a team that did not lose (via CFCPys):
“Caicedo was telling me his Brighton lost there last season. Many Premier League teams when they play there lose. But we are still alive and will fight again to be in the final when at Stamford Bridge.”
Notably, when Brighton and Middlesbrough faced each other at the Riverside Stadium, the Seagulls dealt Boro a strong blow, winning 5-1. Chelsea fans quickly took notice of this misinformation from Mauricio Pochettino and took to social media to express their disapproval.One fan revealed their shock:
“Can’t believe he said that”
Another added:
“Bro just lied to everyone”
Here is a selection of their tweets:
@CfcHaykay: Can’t believe he said that
@CarefreeLewisG: Bro just lied to everyone but some idiots will STILL slurp him off & say “tRuSt tHe pRoceSs!”
Another fan asked:
@Tunnykvng: Who is this man? ????????
@ExcelasUnique: not a valid excuse we are chelsea
@CFCLade_: He shouldn’t give this crap. Manchester City won’t loose there
@KeneCFC: This is embarrassing
@bluezista: Brighton won 5-1 ????????♂️
