The Chelsea head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, did not conceal his anger following his team’s Saturday afternoon failure to overcome a ten-man Burnley at Stamford Bridge.
Even after Lorenz Assignon was sent off in the first half against the relegation-threatened Clarets, the Blues were pushed back twice. For Pochettino’s team, Cole Palmer scored his 17th and 18th goals of the 2023–24 campaign, but it was insufficient.
Just moments after Palmer had made it 2-1, Burnley, who had manager Vincent Kompany sent out, salvaged a point in the 81st minute. Raheem Sterling wasted a great opportunity late in the game, and Pochettino’s team is still 11th in the Premier League.
Despite having ten men, Chelsea had a commanding 69% of the possession and scored 33 shots against Burnley. But they missed a lot of significant chances, which infuriated Pochettino.
“Agreed [lost two points]. Extremely upset in how we handled or handled the situation in the second half,” the Argentine stated. We are a team that can create too many chances when we go forward and have possession, however we might not score on every one of those chances.
“We need to improve our percentage in the game.”
“After today, we didn’t show the capacity, the energy, or the anger,” he continued. Not a prerequisite to play in the Premier League. We give up too much while we are on the defensive.
That explains why I am feeling so angry and let down. To be strong as a group, as a team, you need to be strong more here [in your heart] and here [in your head] than in your legs. That is occasionally the case since we are moving so slowly forward in this field for several reasons.
That’s crucial in this case. The goal isn’t to make excuses. The team performed admirably; we move forward and play with energy, but our intensity wanes when we don’t have the ball.
“I apologize, but when the ball is not in play, I am not involved in the performance.” If we are able to generate opportunities as well as we did and possess the agility to maneuver and identify every possible avenue to breach a defense that plays with a deep block.
“They are a very physical team, we need to be strong also and have the capacity to recover the ball too much.”
Another indication of Chelsea’s obvious intention to get a natural goal scorer in the summer comes from Pochettino’s remarks. The West Londoners’ ongoing wastefulness in front of goal is a result of both Nicolas Jackson’s inconsistent play and Christopher Nkunku’s injury issues.
