Reports have now shared what the Chelsea squad are thinking about Mauricio Pochettino right now.

According to the Mail Online, the opinion from the players on the manager is very clear despite the damning defeat to Arsenal last night.

Pressure continued to mount on Pochettino after the Blues were inflicted with their heaviest defeat last night since he took over at the club.

Arsenal 5-0 Chelsea

They lost 5-0 to their London rivals, and the result could actually have been way worse if it wasn’t for a string of saves from Djordje Petrovic.

Those in the away end at the Emirates last night had a banner dedicated to former manager Thomas Tuchel, perhaps indicating that their desires are elsewhere when it comes to who is in charge.

There was a real look of despondency amongst the players on the pitch last night, with it seeming as if they lost faith way before the final whistle of last night’s game.

Chelsea players still love Mauricio Pochettino

However, it has been claimed that the players are in complete agreement of their admiration for Pochettino, despite the noise surrounding their inconsistent results and performance.

It remains to be seen if supporters are in agreement with that, and whether they think the club could do better with another figure in charge.

It has been claimed on numerous occasions this season that some at the club are unconvinced by Pochettino, and this point of view will certainly not have changed off the back of the damning defeat last night.

A number of other managers have already been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season, with some of those names coming from the Premier League.

The likes of Roberto De Zerbi and Eddie Howe have already been linked with the potential job, although a number of top clubs will be looking for new managers this summer.
