Mauricio Pochettino expresses his preference for Chelsea fans directing their boos at him rather than the players emphasizing that the team deserves credit and support. The manager faced mutinous chants from fans after a 2-2 draw with Brentford.

Pochettino acknowledges the frustration among supporters and asserts that he is giving his best to the team. He believes the players need backing from the fans and is willing to shoulder the blame if it protects the team’s morale. Pochettino remains confident that with time the perception will change.

Despite the draw, he sees positive performances from the team especially in response to their recent Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool.
