Mauricio Pochettino openly admitted in his post-game press conference that he and his Chelsea team currently lack the necessary skill. The disappointing 4-2 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge led to resentment from the home crowd, evident in the jeers at the end of the match.
Despite Chelsea’s early lead, courtesy of goals from Cole Palmer and Thiago Silva, Wolves secured a convincing victory with Matheus Cunha’s hat-trick and Rayan Ait-Nouri’s strike. Pochettino addressed various aspects of the loss during the press conference, and every word from the Argentine was meticulously recorded by Bobby Vincent.
In his post-match analysis, Pochettino underscored the team’s struggles after conceding the first goal, pointing out the challenge of regaining momentum and confidence in their style of play.
The two own goals conceded in the first half added to their difficulties. It was evident that the squad faced challenges managing the situation from the touchline as they conceded again, even though they had an opportunity to score a second goal at the start of the second half.
