Pochettino insists Chelsea owners 'showed support' after Carabao Cup final loss
Mauricio Pochettino has insisted he has the full support of Chelsea's owners despite their Carabao Cup final defeat by Liverpool.
The Blues faced off against Jurgen Klopp's side at Wembley on Sunday and missed several chances, before their performance dipped in extra-time and Virgil van Dijk scored the winner in the 118th minute.
Defeat felt like a huge missed opportunity for Pochettino's side, particularly given the slew of injuries and absentees faced by Liverpool, but the Argentine pleaded for patience in his project at Stamford Bridge and claimed he had the backing of Chelsea's board.
