Mauricio Pochettino is once again feeling the heat as the manager of Chelsea, after a crushing defeat to Arsenal. Fans are calling for his dismissal, and the club's hierarchy has announced that they will review his performance at the end of the season.
On Tuesday night, Arsenal delivered a spectacular performance against their London rivals, with two goals from Kai Havertz, a double from Ben White, and an early goal from Leandro Trossard securing a 5-0 victory. This defeat marks Chelsea's 11th in the Premier League this season, and it deals a significant blow to their hopes of securing European football next season.
It's been a rollercoaster of a season for Chelsea, with moments of promise, such as their recent 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final, followed by disappointing losses like this one to Arsenal. Pochettino has once again faced calls for his sacking from some Chelsea supporters.
According to reports, Pochettino's future at the club is still uncertain, and the players are said to have a strong bond with him. However, a full review of his performance will take place once the season is over.
Rio Ferdinand, speaking after Chelsea's defeat, believes that the club's hierarchy should give Pochettino another season to improve. He points out that with so many young talents and a fantastic academy, it would be a crime to dismiss Pochettino after just one season. He urges the club to give him time to implement his tactics and set the culture, especially with so many new players on the team.
Former Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole also stresses the importance of backing Pochettino. He acknowledges the quick turnover of management at Chelsea and believes that the club needs to give Pochettino the support he needs. This includes giving him control over transfers, both incoming and outgoing, to shape the team according to his vision. Cole also calls for those responsible for signing players to take more accountability for their decisions, instead of constantly putting the pressure on Pochettino.
Despite the calls for his sacking, it seems that Pochettino's future at Chelsea is still up in the air. Fans will have to wait until the end of the season to see if he will remain as manager or if the club will make a change. Until then, the team will have to regroup and focus on finishing the season strong.
