EPL: He doesn’t know his best team at Chelsea – Merson hits Pochettino

Arsenal veteran Paul Merson has slammed Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino, claiming the Argentine is unaware of his best players at Stamford Bridge.

Pochettino, according to Merson, is experiencing the same issues as former Chelsea managers Graham Potter and Frank Lampard did at Stamford Bridge.

Pochettino’s squad has struggled this season, currently sitting in 14th place in the Premier League table after losing their previous home game against Aston Villa.

“Nothing’s changed; the three football matches they’ve won in 21, was Bournemouth the week after they stayed up [last season], beat Wimbledon in the cup and beat Luton. No disrespect to Luton, but at home you are expected to beat them,” Merson told Sky Sports (as quoted by The Mirror).

“He [Pochettino] is got the same problem as the last two managers at Chelsea – Potter and Lampard – Pochettino is exactly the same, he doesn’t know his best team.

“If you don’t know your best team I don’t see how you’ve got a chance of winning. Swap here, swap there.”
