During the Bournemouth tie, Chelsea’s full-backs ‘disappointed’ Mauricio Pochettino.
The Blues’ disappointing start to the new season continued at the Vitality Stadium when they were forced to settle for a scoreless draw after squandering multiple clear opportunities.
In reality, if Robert Sanchez hadn’t made two excellent saves, Andoni Iraola might have won his debut matchup against Cherries boss.
Malo Gusto, Levi Colwill, and late substitute Ben Chilwell all put on lacklustre performances, but Pochettino was anxious to emphasise the positives.
“They [the full-backs] try to go forward too much and create confusion for the offensive players and give the opponent chances to get chances,” he said.
Chelsea hasn’t scored a Premier League goal since Nicolas Jackson’s strike against Luton on August 25, but Pochettino is certain that soon the goals will start to flow.
In the end, the data show that it wasn’t sufficient. He continued, “It’s always about the game.” “Given the opportunities we had in the first half, we should easily win 1-0 and 2-0 today,” the coach said.
Maybe you should tell the fans that it wasn’t enough if we lost the game without scoring.
“We must exert ourselves vigorously. In front of the objective, we must exhibit our effectiveness. Even while the players in these situations do not always have it easy, we must also maintain our composure. Nobody is at fault.
Some of our fullbacks and defensive players wanted to assume the positions of the offensive players in the final 10 minutes. We occasionally needed to avoid endangering the point.
I prefer being that to being calm and serene. They have a great deal riding on the outcome and situation. The effort was outstanding.
