Pochettino blamed Chelsea players for being inconsistent

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino in a post-match statement has blamed his players for being inconsistent with their performances.

This comes as the Blues suffered an embarrassing 5-0 defeat to their North London rivals Arsenal on Tuesday night in the Premier League.

Before their face off against Arsenal, Chelsea had suffered a defeat to Premier League champions Man City in the FA Cup semi-finals.

According to Pochettino, the Blues were fantastic against Man City despite the defeat.

He, however, revealed he expected them to have maintain the same energy against the Gunners.

Pochettino said Vs Chelsea’s website, ‘You can lose games against a team like Arsenal that is fighting for the Premier League, but it is the way we compete, three days ago and then today. We needed to make changes to the starting line-up for different reasons, but that is the inconsistency we have been showing all season.

‘Three days ago it was a fantastic game, great performance and we deserved to go to the final. Today you can use any words to describe our performance, it wasn’t good.’

‘It’s true we did not compete. I cannot blame the players, as a team we are showing this inconsistency. That is why we are where we are, because we are capable of having an amazing performance, and three days later to be at the other extreme.’
