Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino vents at huge problem in transfer message to Todd Boehly

Chelsea head coachMauricio Pochettino failed to hide his frustrations after his side failed to defeat ten-man Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.

The Blues were pegged back on two occasions against the relegation-threatened Clarets despite Lorenz Assignon being sent off in the first-half. Cole Palmer scored his 17th and 18th goals of the 2023/24 season for Pochettino's side but it wasn't enough.

Chelsea registered a whopping 33 shots against Burnley, enjoying 69% of the possession against ten men. However, they wasted a number of big opportunities to leave Pochettino frustrated.

«Agreed [two points dropped]. Very disappointed in the way that in the second-half we managed or dealt with the situation,» the Argentine said. «We are a team that, when we play in possession and play forward, we are able to create too many chances, maybe not to score all the chances we create.
