In a dramatic turn of events, Chelsea fans voiced their discontent towards manager Mauricio Pochettino following Brentford’s comeback victory. Yoane Wissa’s overhead kick in the 69th minute sealed Brentford’s win, prompting Chelsea supporters to chant against Pochettino and the club’s current owner, Todd Boehly. The chants marked a significant shift in fans’ sentiments towards Pochettino, who was once seen as the man to revive Chelsea’s fortunes.
However, with the team’s disappointing season and continued struggles, the supporters have seemingly lost faith in the Argentine manager. Chelsea’s decision to adopt a defensive approach against Brentford, matching their formation and fielding a cautious lineup, backfired. This approach, reminiscent of their Carabao Cup final loss to Liverpool, highlights the team’s lack of confidence and identity under Pochettino.
The defeat leaves Chelsea 16 points off the top four, raising questions about Pochettino’s future at the club. With Chelsea’s once-imposing stature now in question, Pochettino faces mounting pressure to turn their fortunes around.
Here is the highlight video of Brentford vs. Chelsea, which ended with a 2-2 draw.
