Mauricio Pochettino apologised to fans after Chelsea’s 4-2 defeat to Wolves at Stamford Bridge, and said his players were ‘all not good enough’ in the game.

The Blues were undone at Stamford Bridge by a hat-trick from Matheus Cunha, and it was the second time in a week that Chelsea have conceded four goals after the hammering at Anfield on Wednesday night. 

It has increased the pressure on the Chelsea manager, and after the game, he said sorry to the Chelsea fans who were vocal in their disapproval during and after the match. 

Pochettino told Sky Sports: ‘I want to apologise to the fans. The fans were angry today because they were supporting the team. It was tough, a tough afternoon for everyone, for the players, for us, for the fans. 

‘I feel sorry because I think we started the game well, scoring the goal. And then we made some mistakes that you cannot afford in the Premier League.

‘We give them the opening to score, we concede two goals. 

‘Very disappointed in the way we didn’t manage well the nerves and the stress of the game, in the moment we concede the goals. That always makes things difficult because expectation is massive. 

‘All the people believe that we need to be in a different position, and that is not made easy.’  

In the post-match press conference, Pochettino said: ‘I am a human. Of course, it’s not a nice situation. In football, you have to accept that. With a club like Chelsea, with the expectation, you need to accept that. To be in this business, in this type of club, you need to be strong.’ 

Furthermore, he added: ‘I think we are all not good enough. At the moment this is the reality. Myself, also. What we are showing is we are not good enough.’ 

He also told reporters: ‘We feel the pressure and the stress to win, to play well, to perform, and yes, we didn’t have time to build the momentum in the game, to play easy and feel confident.’
