I actually love that statement from Poch. I love that he has the confidence in his recent performances to even be able to say that.

Pochetino has every f.... right to do that. Looking at the transfer policy, they've done everything opposite what Pochetino was asking for.

What is George talking about? Pochettino's response is fine. Poch is human after all and has every right to feel annoyed if the media keeps on speculating on his job. No problem if he says what he said. Also don't see he is any less committed.

Look I'm Chelsea through and through and I wouldn't necessarily lose sleep if Poch leaves or get sack but I agree with him here, how many times have clubs treated managers as disposable even when they don't necessarily deserve it, think Ancelotti and Tuchel and Mou's first stint in our case, so I can't blame the manager for saying hey I too can quit you know

In light of the fact that most commentators have used Poch as a punching bag this season - not being fair about the situation he was in (unprecedented injury crisis/very young players) - I do NOT blame him. I hope the owners have not treated him unfairly and back him, but imagine managing a team with the huge obstacles he’s had to deal with only to have the owners not back you. He’s a very good coach; he has self-respect and has himself been very fair with the team publicly. It’s time for him to get some of that back. Go Poch.

I don’t know why there would be a surprise for Poch to come out with this when he has had a question mark over his head all season and both fans and pundits alike at times calling for his head, with no real valid reason behind it. He has achieved a better season out of this team than last season, he’s helped nurture a player who is up for player of the season and it’s not like we’ve ever been on a massive losing streak. He probably feels massively disrespected and rightly so.

The right wingback has to stick for Cucurella to invert and Gusto just can't do that. Again Having Mudyrk provides that cushion just incase we're caught up on transition, he has the legs to recover which is quite hard for the Rusty Nkuku. I'll rather have them(Gusto and Nkuku) coming from the bench and reward Trevoh with a start.

Mudryk and badiashile should start. Don’t break something that is clearly working

I think the point he was making is that all the chat has been about his future being in others hands. He was simply making the point he also has a choice! Maybe we should all appreciate Poch a little bit more 😊

To be honest, I don’t think that Pochettino is wrong with his statement yes it has been a tough season but there is no one single manager out there that I would prefer ahead of him. I reiterate, it has not been a great season but considering the team he has. It’s only normal to be inconsistent. Lots of players that never played together, not only that, but also extremely young as well, so as a Chelsea fan of course I wanted a better season but Overall I’m not unhappy with the brand of football that we have played in many games. He has done a very decent job and it will only improve

Don’t like the negative talk about Poch in the press right before our game we need to keep pushing on with these wins to get into Europe. Hope this won’t have an effect on players. Not that will know as we have been up and down a lot

Love that from Poch. Absolute power play. That guy is respected in the football world and can get other jobs. He gets brought in to a team in disarray with a bunch of unproven youngsters, with owners who refuse to bring in experience and with fans who boo and tell him to leave. People forget he can walk away on his own accord at any time and leave Chelsea searching for a manager who will then have to start from scratch. Excited about this line up! That front 4 especially could be the best of the season

I love Chelsea but I hate Chelsea fans sometimes.

I think what Poch was getting at is that there has been question marks over his head all season, and he may feel massively disrespected by not only the fans but the club too. The players seem to want to play for Pochettino and its showing in recent performances. Its not been great but look at what hes had to do, brand new squad of 22 with players injured left right and centre. Constant changes in the starting 11, but still producing one of the most xG in the league with a striker who has top 3 chances missed in the league this season. We have double as many big chances created than last season, alongside goals with an increase to how much we're conceding. But I dont blame Poch. He has to work with 39 Year old Thiago Silva who gets injured easily, Badiashille on limited minutes, Disasi whose been decent but isn't a class CB, Colwill forced at LB when Chilly and Cucu were injured and Chalobah at RB when Gusto and Reece are injured. He deserves time.

You can’t start players who are just coming back from long injuries.., they’re not ready to start games yet. That’s what most of y’all fail to realize… better still, I love your predicted line up🥂

That's a man sick and tired of being asked if he'll be sacked. He's telling the world: "Change the record."

Nkunku isn’t even a winger and hasn’t shown ANYTHING to warrant a start over Misha. Misha has been playing the left side by himself cause Cucu isn’t great going forward and has been great in the inverted role. Misha has been a great outlet and TRACK BACK with his pace. I wouldn’t force Gusto in there either. I’m starting the same exact lineup. You’re rewarding Nkunku for nothing.

I've been watching back the extended highlights from Chelseas last few games, and Mudryk is actually really positive and plays a crucial role. He plays quite isolated because Cucu doesn't get up the left much, and Palmer, Madueke, and Gallagher tend to the right. Mudryk provides width, threat, and is very progressive on the ball. I'm really liking his overall game right now and shouldn't replace him on the left at all. Maybe Nkunku at ST and a Jackson at LW to offer something different, but Mudryk has been quietly putting in good, consistent performances.

He is talking directly to Boehly and Eghbali here. He told that he hasn't talked to any of them for 4 months, so he just seeks direct communication with Boehly after those words yesterday

Sacking Poch would be ridiculous. To have such a young squad with so many injuries and less chemistry between players and still managing to go undefeated against top 6 is amazing. Poch should be seen as a long term gaffer. This squad is yet to be developed and poch can do it undoubtedly. We just need to get the european spot. Next season we obviously gonna be lot better and battling for top 4.

Finally, what i wanted to see from poche a backbone, and players do feed off of that energy thats passion showing he cares and wants his team to do well, not a passive yes man that would make players think they aren't passionate and they dont care, win or lose

Gusto cant play RCB in the new system weve been playing (its only worked because we have 3 CB on the pitch) so i wonder how we will play tactically, Cucu inverting and Gusto pushing forward would leave us so exposed but our old system with Cucu and Gusto overlaping leaves Caicedo exposed. Also New system Nkunku is wasted at LW hugging the line, old system hes more involved inverting more inside (but then again Cucu has to keep the width and not invert.) I have a bad feeling Poch will get it wrong tomorrow

He’s speaking entirely hypothetically, there’s nothing in that answer

Pochettino gave an excellent answer; I would say the same thing too. Pochettino has done a very job considering the injuries and experience level of the players that we’ve got. Personally, if Chelsea doesn’t get a manager like Xabi Alonso, Pochettino should stay. No changes should be made to the starting lineup that played against West Ham (that team has got balance especially in defence.

I like such managers who know their worth . If you still see poch as a problem then you are the problem

Nkunku can be a bit lazy, so I don’t know how I feel about him. Mudryk plays a brilliant tactical role in the recent setup that I don’t believe nkunku can play because nkunku cant hug the sideline like mudryk can and be a headache for defenders. It will be interesting to see how it works though. Maybe we adjust and become a much more narrow team.

Love the vids mate

I’m enjoying a lot your videos, find your channel a few weeks ago and I’m loving it, best wishes for the future and come on chelsea💙 (sorry for my English, i try, my main language is spanish, i’m from Chile 🇨🇱)

I know Poch's English isn't great, but thats the most confusing thing I have ever heard.

great video mate

I'm sure Poch Will be profesional and will try to win every game and would hate to see him go but the truth is he has been massively disrespected by pundits, content creators and fans that could never accept he came into a project that needed time and patience

ive subbed! Known about you since the peter griffin days. All this time ive been a chelsea fan and just recently started watching your videos. Best of luck on reaching 300k subs from a fellow Blue Lion in Norway

If Poch walks that's a real statement to how toxic a job Chelsea IS! No manager leaves without being sacked and getting that severance....so surely not!

I think poch feels disrespect d by the club. Look poch has made mistakes but with all the injuries all season, brand new squad and inexperienced players, to have us on the brink of Europe is an accomplishment. U can say “oh this is Chelsea we should be competing” I agree but we are not the same team and do not have the same players it’s time for some people to grow up. With all that to still have us possibly in Europe and top 6 for the board to already looking for new managers I don’t blame him if he feels disrespected and unhappy. One day we’ll look back and say how he did a good job. And pulled this team of kids together.

personally i think we need to sell the players that are too injury prone, as much as it pains me that includes chillwell and James. what we need is consistency.

Mudryk wants to play a certain way and he’s never really been given the opportunity to use his greatest strengths he’s an inexperienced player and it’s going to take a little longer to coach him out of just running down the wing all day

Poch is spot-on here, if the owners are not going to provide the right tools to deliver, then he made them know that it's a two-way thing. They can be unhappy, but the manager also has to be happy at work. On the selection, I wouldn't mind Silva resting and Badiashile taking that slot, he's been fantastic, preventing opponents quite high from receiving balls, blocking transitions and distribution with such composure. I really hope Misha makes way for Nkunku. In the 75th minute, bring on Reece, and have him do something of Cucurella's inversion from the right, having played mid especially at Wigan. Really looking forward to the game

Poch has been disrespected all season by the directos and owners. I don’t think he’s wrong at all for growing a pair and calling it how it is. I don’t see how a Chelsea fan would have a problem with it

I think can now see Pochs vision finally, at the start of the season he played levi at left back and I think his plan was to get james invert into the middle, instead due to injuries he's only been able to do the same thing but with chaloba right back and cuca inverting, when cuca inverts we go back 3 and Chaloba holds back, I think he wanted to do same at the start but with levi and james but due to injuries and only certain personnel being able to adapt to this formation/tactic, he's only been able to do it now.

I like this lineup hopefully we get to test it

Pochettino is revealing that there are layers at the club. Not everyone is on the same page. Soldier on to the remaining 3 games. Pochettino has some big calls to make. Mostly the top 3 or 4. Also we play B&H away on Wednesday. After they played away to Newcastle on Saturday. So a tricky mid week game. Calculated player loading. Timely subs will be pivotal. Petrović Silva, Badiashile. Gusto RW. Cucurella inverted left. Chelsea will continue it's right sided attack dominance. Caicedo and Gallagher as holding mids. (3) attacking mids - Palmer, Nkunku and Sterling. Jackson. Or Madeuke, Palmer, Jackson Nkunku

Badiashile will play if poch makes Cucurella inverted full back again because badiashile is left footed. He needs to cover that left side when Cucu moves in the midfield.

Buzzing for the match.

What a very gud lineup ever.,wish poch to follow

i wouldnt be surprised if poch is just trying to take control of the sacked question. i think the same starting 11 as last week, much deserved they all played well

With the new inverted role how does gutso fit in .. if we're going to a back 3 whilst on attack?🤔

just hope NKK could play a full game and without getting injured after the game.

There is nothing wrong with Poch's answer. We will regret losing him, the young players are showing signs of improvement under him and then he leaves?? It will affect their development and everything he has done!

When you said Malo Gusto is fit and supposedly ready I thought I've heard that before... ALL SEASON, please don't play Reece at all all season or Nkunku and relegate Malo to give him the 5 mins for a clap for the season he's had. Chalobah RB for the minute as it also works with Cucu inverting to have 3 CBs and play Badiashille who's played well in this hybrid 3CBs inverted Cucu system

I think putting Nkunku aw LW could be a problem. Mudryk has been doing well there as a Timo Werner type distraction. The opponent cnat afford to let him go which keeps them from defending with more on the right side.

You guys don’t read games. Chalobah is ahead of Gusto if cucu is playing the inverted role. Gusto doesn’t suit the current tactical change.

wow got here early

Petrovic Malo Chalobah Badiashile Caicedo Cucurella Madueke Palmer Gallagher Mudryk Jackson

I reckon Jackson LW, Nkunku up top. we saw his finishing potential at the start of the season and jacksons better suited on the left I feel

I was bit frustrated with porch at d beginning. But d truth is this team full of injuries throughout d season. And to my opinion I think he has done bit better. So he deserves more time as d lads has started to recognize themselves.

good line up George, however, Mudryks energy at the start will be missed

Come next season Potch will perform after all the critics, they will chew their words. Go Potch Go 110% behind you, no coach in the world could have done what he did.

If you're a football man, you can see progression. This is the best we've been for 2 years. We've actually got direction. Poch was just comparing situations. He wasn't being arrogant.

Fair enough play by Poch

He should say that. Most fans walked on him for most of the season, saying he is not up the the job. We didn't back him up in harsh times why would he give a F and respect us now...?

in my opinion, we should play the same team as last match. I don’t see any point in changing the team at all. What it gives us is an opportunity to play the returning players as subs in the last 20 minutes of the match. (if it looks necessary and. If we want more goals. )

You don't want a honest manager. Simple. Pochettino has just described the reality. Has absolutely nothing to do with the games.

He's right to speak his mind...i wonder how you'd feel if you were in his shoes. The onwers are not backing him instead they're flying other coaches in for interviews if they want loyalty they should show some as well.... just his first full season with injuries and they are already thinking of cutting him.......the ownership showed public support for potter so...

Good line up

Now that's an 11, i could get used to each week ❤ let's go Chelsea 🎉

George we also miss the shootout score predictions.

This is my exact starting XI as well

George you must remember the press and I think it was Mat Law not sure but he asked the leading question. Poch maybe has had enough of the stupid speculation and thought he would turn the question around a bit. I like it.

Poch is sick of media asking whether he has done enough to remain as Chelsea manager. It was a stab at the media more than anything.

George you should do a watch along with Harrycfxi

After 3 games dude starting to feel like he did a great job this season, what a delusion.

Mudryk should start, he hasn’t been doing great but not bad either. Plus if I had it my way Nkunku, Colwill and James would be out for the season.

You guy, George is somehow reckless with your emotions. If not, why suggesing changes to the present winning XI and formation? Why forcing the two players [Nkunku and Gusto] that are just coming from injuries into starting IX? Where's stability there, when we actually need to win our next three games and get European qualifications?

Yeaah George, you must also make the coach feel like you want him at the club...

I think he said he is happy after he said that.. so depends on management now..

What Poch means by that statement the owners need to be judged as well...they need to Keep him happy as much as he needs to Keep them happy

I’d say not to start or use Reece as a substitute and wait until Pre season, you never know with Gusto too…

Reese James super sub!!!

Just like I anticipated

Nkunku, Palmer, Jackson, Madueke, Gallagher, Enzo, Caicedo, Gusto, Casadei; Santos, Angelo, Willian, Mudryk, Washington, Paez, can someone tell me what exactly we are going to do with all those guys?

Poch is a great coach and a great manager. If Chelsea sacked him he will find a job very soon. Clubs like marseille are looking for a coach

Win!!!!

I don't know how people are taking that statement from Poch as he's threatening to leave. He's only said that often times the managers tend to shoulder the blame when sometimes the problem coild also be on the other side of the table.

Calm down the excitement, George.

Reece wont just walk in... Gusto, apart from Palmer, has been consistent and playing out of his skin... just briliant. Nkunku is not a left winger... hes either a 9 or a 10... not a winger

Nkunku is the best player at Chelsea. He’s going to prove so many of you wrong. I hope he stays fit. I think, we should try James at CDM for a game? What yall think? Or James/Gusto, should try the left as well. Palmer is class. Jackson, should incorporate a prime Firminho playing style cause Jackson isn’t much of a finisher. He’ll be there to put Nkunku, Palmer and Madueke/Mudryk on game. Then there’s also Willian coming in, Paez, Angelo, Moreira, coming in geez. On a side note we should sell Sterling most def. I think instead of Osimhen for 120M, I think Tammy is still quality. Or Watkins. But 120 M for Osimhen man, these teams are exploiting our finances.

I would honestly go with the same lineup but switch jackson and nkunku, given that the striker in this system often drops off a bit to allow palmer to get forward, and i think that fits nkunkus player profile much more than jackson, whos pace would be more effective on the left

Nkunku has not shown anything this season to deserve to start..

Nkunku is weak defensively until fully fit, also when Cucurrela moves to mid field which means Silva marks their winger.This will pose serious problem for my chelsea unless forest are not exploiting that lopehole.

Where does Enzo, Lavia, fofana, Colwell and the rest all fit in? Would love to see your dream team, wifh everyone availalbe. And any new additions.

I know its something small but I'm just so excited by how our bench will finally look strong again.

Hi George

"Pochettino threatens to walk out of Chelsea". He would be doing CFC a favour.

George you and your talkertives social media cohorts have got to stop being hypocritical and get off the guys back. A few games into the season you lots started a social media campaign to get him out. How would you feel if your manager or supervisor dangled your job in front of you every week? Poch has never had 50% full squad to choose from consistently for at least 4 games. Not to talk about the likes of Enzo performing like £1m player all season. Poch been good and can only get better if supported!

Classic George rushing nkunku again .. Guy only had 10 minutes last match he already went to start him!!

Pls leave Mudryk, there is nothing Nkuku will show, that guy haven't earn my trust, pls don't change formula that is working for us

💙💙

if we play with that squad it will be fire

I would not entertain reintegrating Gusto straight back in there just based on the system we are playing because he's forward thinking and that will severely leave our back '2' vulnerable. What do you think

I would keep Cucurella Badiashile Silva Chalobah there’s enough attacking threat on the right with Madueke Palmer and Chalobah would fit much better as RCB instead of Gusto when Cucurella inverts
