The club has experienced a tumultuous few seasons, marked by a constant stream of explanations and justifications. Even the most patient fans, who have been willing to trust the process of a major rebuild and transition period, are growing weary of these excuses.
Pochettino is not incorrect in highlighting the impact of injuries, but it’s clear that Chelsea fans are becoming increasingly impatient with hearing these explanations. As quoted by The Evening Standard after the Brentford defeat on Saturday, Pochettino mentioned, “We are competing but missing things. I think when we have all the players fit we will have the right balance.” While this statement may hold truth, it does little to appease the fans who long for improved performances and results.
