Chelsea’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has openly discussed the team’s recent struggles in the Premier League, highlighting a lack of solidity and clinical finishing as key areas of concern. Despite not losing a game in the Premier League since their match against Wolves, Pochettino believes there is significant room for improvement.
Pochettino’s Analysis
Pochettino pointed out that while Chelsea has been successful in finding the back of the net, their defence has been less than stellar, leading to unnecessary concessions. “The team is not showing in the last few months the capacity to be solid. Even if after Wolves we didn’t lose a game in Premier League,” he stated, emphasizing the need for a more balanced approach to their game.
The Argentine manager further elaborated on the team’s performance issues, stating, “We score goals but we are conceding. That is why we are being punished. We need to be more clinical”. This comment underscores a critical area of focus for Chelsea as they aim to improve their standings and overall performance in the league.
Looking Forward
As Chelsea continues its campaign in the Premier League, Pochettino’s insights highlight the need for the team to bolster their defence and capitalize on scoring opportunities more effectively. The coming weeks will be crucial for Chelsea as they work on addressing these issues and striving for consistency in their performances.
