Chelsea needed an experienced coach. With Pochettino's help, we saw Chelsea's steady performances towards the end of last season. Pochettino should not be sacked by Chelsea. At the same time, the decision not to buy Osimhen also seems like a bad decision by Chelsea. They need an experienced striker who can score consistently. Osimhen could have been the best option for Chelsea.
I couldn’t agree more. You highlighted two big mistakes Chelsea made; one is sacking Pochettino prematurely. Chelsea would have given him a little more time to develop the squad. And the other is failing to sign a proven striker in the transfer window. Chelsea fans can bash Osimhen for asking for high wages and say they don’t need him but as we all saw today, Nicolas Jackson has issues finding the back of the net. Enzo Fernandez should have been subbed in the first half, he was clearly killing the game. I am yet to see what Enzo Maresca sees in him. The man of the match today for me would be Cole Palmer, his passes were incredible and beautiful to watch.
I think pochettino and Chelsea ended the whole thing on mutual concept without telling the whole public the complete truth. Like I have always said, building this current Chelsea team will take time and patience, which I think the fans and management don't have. As for the Oshimen case, I think the entire public don't know the full story of what went down. I literally had no full knowledge, until I met a strong Oshimen fan, who explained everything to me in detail. Besides, do we even know how much Chelsea are offering to pay Oshimen as a striker(€4m annually) which is 10% less than what Al-Ahli's is offering -

I was kind of furious that night on hearing the news, because I knew it will turn out bad at the end of the day. But, what I feel is that, he might likely terminate his contract afterwards agreeing a good term with any club, or maybe just wait till January. Oshimen will definitely fit maresca's style of play. But what Chelsea are offering is kind of funny.
