What a difference three games make, hey?
The opinion on Mauricio Pochettino has changed vastly since the Arsenal game, and I am here to discuss the factors behind that.
After Chelsea got totally embarrassed by Arsenal just four games ago, I remember reading the comments on my personal Substack website (there was well over 100), and I also did polls. Over 80% of people wanted Pochettino gone, at least at the end of the season.
Now, just three games later, the opinion on my site has changed.
I carried out the latest polls on my Substack site yesterday….
If Chelsea qualify to the Europa League this season, 84% want Pochettino to stay.
If Chelsea qualify for Europa Conference League this season, 78% want Pochettino to stay.
If Chelsea do not get either, then opinions are a little more split. But still, the majority (52%) would still want Pochettino to stay.
52% have a ‘firm stance’ on Pochettino, whilst 48% are unsure/have the jury still out on him.
The huge difference after just three games is actually crazy, I wasn’t expecting it. I don’t share the change in stance as I have explained earlier this week. My opinion on anything, whether it’s a player or a manager, is never going to change that vastly after just three games (we didn’t even win one of those games). My opinion is always going to formed over the course of a much longer span of time. My opinion to want Pochettino gone in the first place happened over a long course of time up until well into the second part of this season, so my opinion to now want him to stay again, is not going to change that quick, even if yes, I AM open to changing it again. It’s important for me to always be open to anything in football, and changing opinions and admitting you were wrong, is very much a good thing – I am happy to do that, but just over the course of time and not just after three games. Emotions and over-reactions is something we ALL do, and I think when we can take a step back and look at things…
