Personally I think Chelsea's main problem is their management. And if you notice, Chelsea's misery started after the change of management. The message should not only blame the coach. We will not see the good condition of Chelsea if the internal conflict of their management is not resolved.
In the management of Chelsea, I don’t want to believe that the problem solely lies with Pochettino alone, but I also want to believe that the management has a role to play. This might be the reason why they have not been performing as expected this season. I feel they need to do more, especially after tonight’s match, where even Real Madrid had to settle for a draw with Valencia, just like Chelsea had to settle for a draw in the West London derby.
I see Chelsea struggling to meet expectations, although they have performed well in the Carabao Cup. They reached the final, but unfortunately couldn’t win, as Liverpool, the Reds, have been the winning champions of the Carabao Cup for a while now. This demonstrates their capability, although they fell short.
In my opinion, what the management needs to do is to pull themselves together, work as a team, support the manager, Pochettino, in his role, and ensure that everyone, including the assistant coach, works collaboratively. This will make the club more effective.
You are right that coach Pochettino should not be solely blamed for Chelsea's poor performance. Because Chelsea's performance has been weak since Pochettino became the coach. Chelsea were 12th in the points table last season. And Chelsea is tenth in the table this season. This group is not weak. But their performance is erratic. Coach Pochettino could not strengthen the bonding between the players. But there are also many other problems within the Chelsea club. All heads of management must be united. To be discussed with coaches and players. Find out what the team's problems are and then try to solve them. Changing coaches alone will not solve Chelsea's problems.
I don't want to go into the argument that Thomas Tuchel is a bad coach or a good coach. But Thomas Tuchel was successful with Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel helped Chelsea win the Champions League despite being a mediocre team. I don't understand why Chelsea management sacked such a successful coach.
Well, the truth is, working as the Chelsea manager comes with a lot of responsibilities. For instance, tonight, we saw Chelsea fans putting pressure on Pochettino due to the outcome of the match. This makes it even more important for the management to support the manager during times like these. I believe it is crucial for the management to come together and analyze why things are not working properly. Finding solutions collaboratively and providing support to the coach will be essential. So, I feel like this is the direction they should take.
I agree with you. Yesterday we saw Chelsea fans calling for coach Pochettino to leave Chelsea. As Chelsea are not playing well. It's natural that fans will be angry. We have seen such fanaticism in football many times in the past. Chelsea management should have supported coach Pochettino. and giving him full freedom to let himself be. But the Chelsea management doesn't seem to do that.
