Mauricio Pochettino is very unhappy with how Chelsea’s players have been unable to stop opponents from scoring with headers this season.
Chelsea is one of the shortest teams in the Premier League, and in their last four games, they have allowed goals from headers. In their game against Manchester United, Scott McTominay scored a header to win the game, towering over Levi Colwill.
Chelsea have let in six goals from headers this season, and only Luton, Brentford and Sheffield United have let in more.
The Blues are playing against Everton on Sunday. Sean Dyche’s team is the tallest in the league, and Pochettino sees this as a big problem for their game at Goodison Park.
“The Chelsea manager said it could be a problem. ”
We should try harder to stop the other team from getting chances to score, like when they get corners or free-kicks from the side. We have to be smart about how we work and try to stop them.
In football, it’s about how you play the game, your attitude, and being smart to prevent the other team from using their strengths.
Pochettino was very upset by McTominay’s goal on Wednesday night in Manchester.
He said we have to get better. Maybe I don’t look very emotional, but I am really upset. We need to improve a lot in these situations.
It is a combination of planning and wanting something. We should stop the crosses. If someone says “It’s not my problem because the other person did something wrong,” then it’s hard for the defense to handle those situations.
Everton won 3-0 against Newcastle United and moved out of the relegation zone, even though they had a 10-point penalty for breaking the league’s financial rules.
Chelsea is still in 10th place even though they lost to United for the sixth time this season.
