Liverpool defeated Manchester United 3-0 while Chelsea lost to Manchester City 4-2 in the preseason. With the way Chelsea played, I don’t really know what to think of them. The half time stats shows Chelsea had better ball possession. That’s quite strange especially against Manchester City, that plays possession football. They tried to pass the ball around and work towards a pattern, but they were failing at some simple things like picking runs and making quick decisions. Honestly, I think Chelsea will be embarrassed before they understand Enzo Maresca’s style of play.
Sometimes I don’t blame Todd Boehly for sacking Pochettino. Chelsea were almost getting themselves towards the end of last season. They seemed to have gotten a grasp of Pochettino’s demands. They would have been a force in the new season because everything was clicking and they were playing better.
The problem with Chelsea is that they do not have patience,I was quite confident that if they had allowed Pochetino to still stay for one more season,he would have turned things around.Like you said,the players were already getting to blend very well towards the end of last season,yes,and if they had keep their coach Pochetino,he would have signed more players this summer and turned Chelsea into a tittle contending club.Now they have to learn a new pattern that will be introduced by Enzo before they can perform well,maybe,the board will get him sacked before January next year.
