After Chelsea’s defeat to Everton, Mauricio Pochettino shifts his focus towards the transfer window.

Mauricio Pochettino conveyed his profound dissatisfaction regarding Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat against Everton. This loss dealt a blow to Chelsea’s aspirations of a late comeback, as Abdoulaye Doucoure scored in the first half and Lewis Dobbin added a second goal in stoppage time. Despite recently facing a 10-point deduction, Everton now sits comfortably with a four-point advantage over the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Chelsea occupies the 12th position, holding a mere six-point lead over Sean Dyche’s Burnley. Pochettino has been openly critical of his players in recent weeks, especially following their 4-1 loss to Newcastle, during which captain Reece James received a red card. Regrettably for Chelsea, James had to exit the field prematurely once again, this time due to an injury.

In his conversation with the BBC after the game, Pochettino did not hold back. He expressed, “Scoring goals is a fundamental aspect of football, and we lacked effectiveness in front of the net. I’m genuinely disappointed. We did not obtain the deserved point. I believe we performed better, but we did not achieve our desired outcome.” Pochettino recognized that Chelsea should have emerged victorious in this match and highlighted the urgency of resolving the issue. He emphasized the significance of assessing the actual circumstances and engaging in conversations to enhance their prospects in the upcoming transfer market.

Concerning James’ injury, Pochettino conveyed his empathy by stating, “He experienced discomfort in his hamstring. It’s unfortunate for him to endure yet another injury. He holds significant importance as a player.”

All in all, Chelsea’s performance was disheartening, leaving Pochettino and his team with plenty to contemplate as they aim to recover in their forthcoming game.
