Mauricio Pochettino was agitated when asked what had gone wrong with his Chelsea team following a strong start against Brentford.
He gave two reasons for his belief that Chelsea had lost the game: more pressure and unhappiness from the supporters.
That is not an excuse, even though we saw comparable incidents. If they don’t get their way right away, how many times on the field will this team suffer the same mental breakdown in the second half?

When Nicolas Jackson gets into an argument with a supporter, Mauricio Pochettino has to step in and break things up.
TalkSport claims that Nicolas Jackson, a player for Chelsea, “shushed” a fan who was “venting their frustrations” at the striker as the teams were about to go into halftime.

The second half saw no improvement as Chelsea scored zero goals and Brentford scored twice. If that fan had stayed to the very end, we can only imagine how furious they were after 96 minutes.
After losing to the Bees at home for the third straight game, Chelsea was jeered off the field.
The mood at Stamford Bridge seemed to have improved after a run of strong outings and achievements, but this serves as a helpful reminder of how quickly things can change. Just get rid of this terrible Stamford Bridge variant before the project falls as a whole.
