Pochettino wants his young team to be more “aggressive and nasty”.
Mauricio Pochettino defended Nicolas Jackson after the misfiring Chelsea striker was criticised by supporters during the Blues’ 2-0 home defeat to Brentford.“We cannot abuse, even if you say ‘wake up’, because I think it’s not right,” Pochettino told a press conference on Tuesday.
“He suffered an injury , it’s difficult to train, to keep fit and to score goals.“He wants to help the team and for different reasons he’s not performing. He played with a cast after he broke his hand.“Jackson is young, he arrived this season and there are circumstances that didn’t help him perform his best.“He’s our striker, he’s our player and it’s about supporting the player.”
Chelsea’s lack of cutting-edge in front of goal saw them beaten at home for the third time this season. Argentinian Pochettino wants his young team to be more “aggressive and nasty”, but noted that will come with experience.“We were not aggressive enough and that’s why they had their chance in the second half and we conceded.“That is experience, team experience, as a team we need more patience.
“We need to be competitive; I feel the responsibility and we are Chelsea, we need to win this type of game.”We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
