After the defeat to Everton in their Premier League match, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino said his team were better in the game, but that a lack of aim and creativity explains why they lost the match. Chelsea lost to Everton in their Premier League match. They won 2-0 at Goodison Park on Sunday. With the win, Everton remains four points clear of the relegation zone.
The first half was a low-key affair, with Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer appearing with some attacking intent, Jordan Pickford denied them any of the scoring opportunities. Chelsea’s attacking risk was temporarily ruled out. In the first half, heartbreak built up for Chelsea when Reece James and Robert Sanchez were injured. Abdoulaye Doucouré scored his sixth goal for Everton this season in the 54th minute, from close range. Even though Chelsea tried to put pressure on Everton in search of an equaliser, their opponents’ defence was too good. Later in stoppage time, 20-year-old Lewis Dobbin fired a fumble from the corner into the net, securing 3 points for his team.
After the match, Mauricio said, quoted by Sky Sports: “We dominated the game and we were the bigger team, but if you don’t score goals, it’s difficult to win games. It seemed like we had made progress in this aspect. However, I think that today we have “We showed a lack of creativity. Due to lack of concentration, we conceded a goal when we had already scored before. ” Regarding James and Sánchez’s injuries, the coach said: “I don’t like to communicate too much about excuses. But that’s the truth with one of the most productive full-backs in the world. We were disappointed because we were playing well. The suitcases would have to be replaced because Malo Gusto is recovering from his injury, so we had to replace the teams. “But even when Reece was out, I think the team was betting well. “We will evaluate in the next few days what is happening with his hamstring. “
“Sanchez had a challenge against Manchester United, a knee challenge. He didn’t feel anything in the second half. That’s why he asked for change. Let’s hope it’s not a big challenge, like Marc Cucurella, who sprained his ankle. “”At the beginning we faced those conditions and this is too much. It’s a young team and we want everyone to combine if we want to build something solid,” he added. Even Everton manager Sean Dyche has admitted that Chelsea are a better player. But you have to find tactics to win.
“They are a very intelligent team. Better in some tactics. They kept the ball, they have very intelligent technical players, we know that. They spent a fortune on players. He is a very sensible coach, so I wouldn’t argue with him. “But what I would say is that you have to find tactics to win. That’s what gives me the most pleasure. We find other tactics to win. There are games in which we controlled the number of opportunities and won, games in which we did not win, games in which we defended very decisively as we had to do today. That combination is vital in the work of a season. “Dyche said. Everton are 17th in the table with thirteen problems after seven wins, two draws and seven losses in 16 matches. In fact, their 10 problems were reduced as a result of a violation of profitability rules and sustainability of the Premier League The ruling is currently being appealed, according to the Premier League website.
