Chelsea’s recent struggles were highlighted as they failed to beat a team in the relegation zone for the second time in a week. Pochettino’s side showed a lack of attacking cohesion in their match against the Blades, managing only eight shots during the game. Despite scoring two goals, the performance indicated the need for quality in the final third.
Co-owner Todd Boehly is gearing up for a busy summer transfer window with the aim of strengthening the team’s attack. Inconsistency in Nicolas Jackson’s performance has been a source of frustration, while only Cole Palmer has maintained consistent quality among Chelsea’s other attacking players. The addition of an elite No 9 is expected before the 2023-24 season, with Victor Osimhen strongly linked to the club.
Pochettino acknowledged Chelsea’s struggle against teams in the bottom half of the table and emphasized the importance of competitiveness in such games. He stressed the need for players to understand and meet the demands of the coaching staff and indicated the ongoing process of building the team’s capacity. Looking ahead, Pochettino faces pressure to improve results in the future, and there is anticipation for further investment in the team during the upcoming summer transfer window.
