Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino remained unfazed and shrugged off jeers from some Chelsea fans during their 2-2 draw against Brentford. A section of the away fans expressed their frustration by singing the name of former manager Jose Mourinho and calling for Pochettino to step down. The discontent grew after Mads Roerslev and Yoane Wissa scored for Brentford, turning the game in their favor.

Despite the criticism, Chelsea managed to salvage a point with Axel Disasi’s late equalizer on Pochettino’s 52nd birthday. The Argentinian coach addressed the fan reaction, acknowledging that winning games is the key to building a positive relationship with supporters. Pochettino emphasized his commitment to working hard and fighting to improve the team’s performance.

Meanwhile, Brentford’s manager, Thomas Frank, praised his injury-hit team for their impressive response to a previous defeat against West Ham. Frank highlighted the resilience of his squad, which faced a challenging fixture against a well-equipped Chelsea side. The draw, coupled with Brentford’s injury struggles, showcased what Frank described as a “proper Brentford performance.”

Despite the frustration evident among Chelsea supporters and the home fans at halftime, Frank remained focused on the positives and expressed a desire to engage with the critics who voiced their discontent. The draw at Brentford adds another layer of complexity to Chelsea’s season, and Pochettino remains determined to win back the support of the fans through improved results on the pitch.
