Pochettino questions media bias towards Liverpool's success over Chelsea's struggles

Mauricio Pochettino, the Chelsea manager, has expressed frustration at the media's treatment of his team's recent form compared to Liverpool's. Despite Chelsea's net spend of around £670 million in the last five years, they currently sit 11th in the Premier League table. In contrast, Liverpool, who have spent just £218 million in the same period, are currently at the top of the league and have only lost two games this season. Pochettino believes that the criticism his team has faced is unfair, pointing out that there was little attention given to Liverpool's recent defeat to Arsenal. He acknowledges that Chelsea has not met the expectations, but questions why the same scrutiny is not applied to Liverpool. Pochettino's comments come amidst concerns about his own position as Chelsea manager, with the team having suffered 10 defeats and currently residing in the bottom half of the table. Despite this, Pochettino is expected to remain in charge for the upcoming League Cup final against Liverpool. However, financial restrictions imposed by the club have raised concerns about their ability to make necessary changes. Pochettino's remarks have drawn criticism for their lack of self-awareness, considering the recent 4-1 defeat Chelsea suffered at the hands of Liverpool. It is clear that Liverpool's dominant form has put them in a different league from Chelsea, and the media's focus is likely to remain on the Reds rather than the struggling Chelsea team.
