Pochettino could irritate Chelsea fans with Chilwell decision – opinion

Caughtoffside are among the sites predicting that Mauricio Pochettino will stick with the setup from last week, with Ben Chilwell still on the bench and Levi Colwill still at left back.

It’s not a popular setup with the fans, who want Chilwell at left back to support whoever plays on the left wing – possibly Mykhailo Mudryk, as last week.

We’re on the fence – clearly Pochettino likes using Colwill as a narrow left back, and he kept him there last week even when he decided Chilwell’s time as a winger was over.

We can well see Pochettino seeing the light against Aston Villa and finally doing what the majority of fans want. On the other hand, given Villa are a strong side, is it impossible we see Chilwell back – but on the wing again?

There will be a few meltdowns if so. 5 goals in 5 games is not good enough, and a move like that will certainly give the impression of being negative, no matter how it actually plays out on the pitch.

  1. If poch keep the same tactics Chelsea FC wont progress . He should play 4 at back to use Desasi as RB than gusto . In chilwell as LB to Tiago and colwill as CB . Then play Lesley DM with caceido /Lavia . Enzo AM / maatsen AM . Noni/Palmer winger . Sterling/ mudryk Jackson Attack .

  2. Jackson is not an attack for Chelsea, infact I won’t blame Jackson how many shots on target Chelsea have out side 18 yard? Chelsea is not playing any thing as a club so I can’t blame a single person when team is is inform every body play so Chelsea is not inform even the Coach himself is not inform.
