Mauricio Pochettino faces criticism after Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final. The loss intensifies scrutiny on Pochettino who is yet to secure a trophy in English football. Questions arise regarding Chelsea’s strategy and Pochettino’s reputation is under scrutiny for alleged struggles in big occasions.

Chelsea’s squad shaped by a £1 billion investment has an odd structure and Pochettino’s ability to lead the team is being questioned. However, the complexities go beyond the manager with issues in recruitment, squad design and overall team performance.

Chelsea’s ownership and management must carefully evaluate the situation considering potential changes and the impact on the club’s stability. Pochettino has three months to prove his managerial capabilities and avoid hasty decisions.
