‘Pochettino Could Be Out Of Job If Chelsea Don’t Beat Fulham & Burnley’

Andy Goldstein, TalkSPORT pundit believes that Mauricio Pochettino could be sacked if Chelsea fail to win their next two games.

Pochettino has already pleaded with the Chelsea board for understanding, claiming that he is in charge of a process at Stamford Bridge. However, Goldstein thinks that if the team loses its next two games against Fulham and Burnley, Chelsea may opt to fire the Argentine coach.

Goldstein said: “I look at the Chelsea side, it doesn’t look like a Chelsea team. There’s no spine to it. They can’t score goals. They’ve got five goals in six games, three of them were against Luton. Since 2017, six years ago, they’ve spent just shy of €300m on strikers, none of them have delivered. I know they’ve got injuries, but all clubs have injuries. Nicolas Jackson has got one goal in six games. How much of this is the fault of the owner Todd Boehly? The reason I ask that is when he came in, he’s spent over £1 billion on players, his background is not English football, and instantly, it was like a scattergun approach. Paying crazy money for all kinds of different players, lots of them they didn’t need, they didn’t address the problem from day one which was an out-and-out goalscorer and they still haven’t got that.”

He added: “When you look at the teams they’ve got coming up (to play), Fulham away, Burnley away, Arsenal at home, Brentford at home, Spurs away, City at home, Newcastle away, Brighton at home, Manchester United away. When you’re struggling, those are tough games. Even the next two. I personally think, if they don’t beat Fulham and Burnley, he could be gone.”

Prior to playing Fulham again in league play on Thursday, the Blues play Brighton in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
