Why Cole Palmer shouted at Axel Disasi as Mauricio Pochettino reveals Chelsea transfer plan

'Chaos-ball' by Chelsea – the brand-new way to play football. Is it sustainable? Absolutely not? Is it entertaining? Absolutely. Do Chelsea supporters want to see it? Not against Sheffield United.

After the drama and pandemonium that unfolded at Stamford Bridge less than 72 hours before on Thursday night, Mauricio Pochettino knew that the result would only really matter if his side could follow that up with another three points at Bramall Lane. And for about half an hour, that looked as if it was going to be the case.

Oli McBurnie, however, levelled the match on 93 minutes to earn the Blades, who are rock-bottom of the Premier League table, a point against Chelsea. It is another painfully frustrating match for the Blues, who led twice in Sheffield, where their mentalities and personalities will be questioned.

Pochettino was one of those asking questions: «Maybe this group is still not mature enough to compete in every game every three days. Maybe these types of games are tougher because in your preparation, maybe because, like you say, Sheffield are in the relegation zone.

»We need to think a little bit. I'm not saying we're not being respectful, but we need to think a little bit more. As a coach, I need to think. If I am a player, I need to think."

The 20-man match day squad had an average age of less than 24-years-old. So one of those things Pochettino refers to that the club might need is certainly experience. «Finding the balance» is often referred to by the Argentine but when it comes to ages within the squad, there is not too much balance at all.
