Mauricio Pochettino doubts Chelsea’s level of maturity following their draw against Sheffield United.
In a thrilling encounter at Bramall Lane, Chelsea suffered a setback as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Sheffield United. The Blues had hoped to build on their dramatic victory over Manchester United, but were unable to secure all three points.
The game saw Chelsea take the lead twice, with goals from Thiago Silva and Noni Madueke. However, their advantage was short-lived as Jayden Bogle and Oli McBurnie found the back of the net for Sheffield United.
This result leaves Chelsea in ninth place in the Premier League table, with only eight matches remaining in the season. Their next challenge will be a tough FA Cup semi-final clash against Manchester City later this month.
Speaking after the match, Chelsea manager Pochettino acknowledged that his team is not yet ready to compete at the highest level every three days. He emphasized that fatigue cannot be used as an excuse for not winning games.
Pochettino also highlighted the need for his young squad to mature and learn how to compete in matches against lesser teams. He acknowledged that building a successful team takes time and that Chelsea is still in the process of developing.
Looking ahead, Chelsea will face Everton on Monday, April 15. Pochettino will be hoping for a better performance from his team as they continue their quest for success this season.
