During Mauricio Pochettino’s post-match press conference, he candidly admitted that he and his Chelsea squad currently lack the necessary prowess. The Blues suffered a disheartening 4-2 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge, inciting frustration from the home crowd, evident in the boos at the final whistle.
Matheus Cunha’s hat-trick and Rayan Ait-Nouri’s goal secured a convincing victory for the Wolves, despite Chelsea briefly leading with Cole Palmer’s early goal and Thiago Silva’s late consolation goal. Pochettino addressed various aspects of the defeat in response to questions during the press conference, and Bobby Vincent meticulously transcribed every word spoken by the Argentine.
Reflecting on the match, Pochettino highlighted the team’s struggle after conceding the first goal, expressing the difficulty in regaining momentum and trust in their playing style. The impact of two own goals in the first half further intensified the challenges faced by Chelsea. Despite starting the second half with the prospect of scoring a second goal, conceding again added to the team’s struggles, making it visibly tough for the players to navigate the situation from the touchline.
