“The team is fighting” – Pochettino backs Chelsea to succeed | OneFootball

Mauricio Pochettino saw his side lose today, but he stayed positive about the whole situation, insisting that it was just bad luck holding his team back. He praised the way they had fought and created chances even with ten men following the red card to Malo Gusto.

His quotes in the presser after the game reveal his attitude to how things are going for him and his beleaguered team right now:

“With 10-men we forced them back and created too many chances. We need to be aware what is going on but we need to be calm, the team is creating, the team is fighting, we cannot say they gave up after 70 minutes, they were fighting with one player less and hope we can change the run as soon as possible.”

Pochettino’s style is all about positivity, and while it will be tested to its limits now, we don’t expect him to change his tune anytime soon.

The manager will keep backing his players and just has to pray some chances start going in. He has a huge amount of credit in the bank but he’s burning through it at some speed. The owners will do anything to avoid having to sack another coach, but 1 win in 6 from some easy games is devastating for the prospects of the whole season.
