“You’re using this player in a wrong position and that’s why he has been performed poorly, You played him at the right position yesterday and he became a beast Vs WestHam yesterday”- Todd Boehly warned Pochettino to stop using “special” £100k-a-week Chelsea player in a wrong position if he wants to get the best out of him
After West Ham’s loss against Chelsea, Glenn Hoddle blamed the player for his bad performance, according to walexsports.com.
Immediately following West Ham’s 5-0 loss to Chelsea on the road on Sunday, Glenn Hoddle criticized Emerson Palmieri, a defender for the club.
An stunning victory at Stamford Bridge allowed the team coached by Mauricio Pochettino to make it back-to-back victories in the Premier League for the first time since December.
During the first half, Chelsea took a three-goal lead thanks to goals scored by Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher, and Noni Madueke. Following the interval, Nicolas Jackson scored a pair of goals to complete the victory for Chelsea.
According to Hoddle, who was speaking for Premier League Productions, “They don’t appear as if they’re worried.”
They appear to be a team that is only interested in playing when they have possession of the ball, as if they are saying, “Oh, we want the ball.” This is because the possession of the ball is the easiest part of the game.
“As soon as Chelsea has possession of the ball, there is no closing, no one shouting to pick up on the penalty spot, those critical areas, and there is no consistency about their game,”
At the end of the game, Hoddle commented on Emerson’s continued presence in the locker room while analyzing Jackson’s first goal, which turned the score 4-0 in Chelsea’s favor.
The third minute of the second half has passed, and he is still not switched on. The position that he is in is really terrible, and he has just emerged from that passageway from the dressing room.
“At the end of the day, you have to show a bit more than that,” as the coach said. “This is especially true when you are surrendering all of the goals that you have done in the first half.”
While everything was going on, Jermain Defoe, a former striker for West Ham, voiced his disapproval of the team’s defensive performance under Moyes.
According to Defoe, “I do not believe that performance is representative of West Ham as a football club.”
“When you play for West Ham and you can’t really go toe to toe with the other teams in terms of how you play, and that performance doesn’t reflect West Ham, you have to first and foremost put in a lot of effort,” the coach said.
“I stated that the manager, Moyes, is a defensive-minded coach, and you would want to assume that if you are a defensive-minded coach, you would not allow so many goals to be score against you.”
“Against a Chelsea team, a good Chelsea team, but if you look at Chelsea over the previous ten years, you wouldn’t say it’s a Chelsea team where you can go there and surrender five goals,” the coach said.
