Newcastle exhibit Chelsea’s worst performance of the season, according to Mauricio Pochettino.

Following Chelsea’s defeat at Newcastle, Mauricio Pochettino declares his squad to be “soft.”

Reece James was dismissed for Reece James during the 23rd minute of Saturday’s 4-1 loss at Newcastle. “Even if Newcastle weren’t great, it was so easy with the way we conceded, and we were so soft in every challenge,” Mauricio Pochettino remarked.

Mauricio Pochettino criticized the mentality of his Chelsea squad and accused them of “easily aiding Newcastle” in their 4-1 loss at St. James’ Park.

Due to their injury crisis, Newcastle named three goalkeepers from a bench that was incredibly young and inexperienced for Saturday’s match against Chelsea. However, they easily dismissed the Blues.

Despite entering the match having achieved favorable outcomes against Tottenham and Manchester City, Pochettino’s squad suffered a setback with Reece James being dismissed on a red card and Thiago Silva contributing a goal to Newcastle in an undisciplined performance.

When queried about Silva’s atypical error, Pochettino attributed responsibility to his entire squad, stating: “While it is an unfortunate error, I am more concerned with the intensity level.

“Our preparation for the competition was suboptimal. Regarding this, I am concerned. Although we believed we were prepared to compete, we failed to do so in the manner that the competition required.

“Alone with Newcastle’s lackluster performance, the triumph was rather effortless.” We made it so simple by conceding so easily, and we were so feeble in the face of every challenge.

“We failed to demonstrate that we were competing for something significant. That is the source of my anger and dissatisfaction. “Despite the fact that we are a young team that still has much to learn, these kinds of games infuriate me greatly.”

After their recent impressive results, Pochettino implied that his youthful squad had lost focus on the ball, adding, “It’s about displaying more personality and character. Despite our youth, we are unable to pass up this opportunity.

“People commend Chelsea following Tottenham and Manchester City, but then they say, ‘Okay, I’ll stop one step earlier. “I failed to exert myself at the appropriate time; that’s okay, a teammate will fix it.” Such is the issue.

“We must demonstrate greater mental fortitude. We must place the responsibility on ourselves. It is necessary that we become more concentrated.

“We allowed easy goals to slip through.” We played our worst game of the entire season.
