The match was balanced in the first half because both teams maintained their tempo well. The first half ended 1-1, but the second half was a disaster for Chelsea where they had to accept conceding 3 additional goals from Newcastle.
The first half of the match ended in a draw, but the match wasn't balanced, pressure was just too much on Chelsea in the match. Before the match started, I was expecting a win from Chelsea in the match, but immediately the match started and Newcastle scored 1 goal in the match, then I knew Chelsea would find it difficult to win the match, pressure was just too much, and Chelsea players got confused. Chelsea was humiliated by Newcastle in today's match, another poor and unexpected performance from Chelsea. I was disappointed with Chelsea's performance in the match, I was expecting a better performance from them.
Regarding this match, Chelsea once again failed to maintain their consistency in getting points in every match, even if they held Manchester City to a draw and beat Tottenham in the previous match.
What happened after playing a draw against Arsenal is repeating itself now. Chelsea played against Brentford and lost to them after playing well against Arsenal. A similar thing happened today, they played a draw against Manchester City, and they were applauded for their nice performance. Everyone was expecting them to perform well today, but they ended up performing poorly today. Seriously, I don't really know what to say about Chelsea's.
There wasn't much Pochettino could do for Chelsea in this match because in the end all his plans failed. Newcastle dominated and played well at home, the 4-1 scoreline is something that will motivate them to face PSG in the Champions League in the next few days.
Sure, it's going to serve as motivation, but that doesn't mean they will be able to win PSG in the match. I believe the match is not going to be a easy one for PSG, but they should be able to win the match. I am not underestimating Newcastle, but they can't just compete with PSG at the moment.
