“They want me sacked I guess” – Angry Pochettino blames these two Chelsea stars for FA Cup defeat to Manchester city
The Emirate Fa Cup holders, Manchester City, defeated a wasteful Chelsea Side 1-0 in Saturday’s semi-final at Wembley, keeping them on track for back-to-back victories in the competition.
In the outstanding semi-final on Sunday, Manchester United and Coventry City will face off at Wembley, and Mauricio Pochettino will continue to wait for his first major title in English football.
The two Chelsea stars have come under fire from the Argentine tactician for their terrible performance against Manchester City. He criticized Moises Caicedo and Nicholas Jackson for passing on kind opportunities to perform the blues.
Pochettion thinks that certain Chelsea players want him fired because he gave Chelsea so many opportunities to win the game.
Pochettino feels Chelsea should be about fourth on expected goals and this is exactly what he’s on about.”
“Jackson never looked comfortable. They are absolute sitters, they really are. Three great chances for him.”
The blues, who have now lost their last nine games against the Premier League winners, are only competing for top-flight honor until the end of the season, but a top-seven finish in the standings would still allow them to play in Europe again.
