Pochetino doesn’t have discipline, that’s why we all call Him a ‘BABY COACH’,If I were Him, this particular player would sit on the bench for four straight matches’: Tottenham head Ange Postecoglou reveals the only Chelsea player who performed rubbish despite their Draw win against Manchester City
Jamie Carragher suggests that Thiago Silva’s tenure at Chelsea may be nearing its end, especially after being overshadowed by younger players during the clash with Manchester City. Silva sustained an injury against Crystal Palace, sidelining him for the City game, but he might return for the Carabao Cup final. However, fans may be concerned about facing Liverpool, given the solid performance of young defenders Axel Disasi and Levi Colwill at the Etihad, where their resilient defense secured a crucial point against Pep Guardiola’s side.
Carragher praised Disasi’s display, likening him to Chelsea legend John Terry, highlighting the youngster’s stellar performance. Despite Silva’s illustrious career and contributions since joining Chelsea in 2020, his form has waned this season, yet Mauricio Pochettino continues to rely on him, with Silva featuring prominently in Premier League fixtures. However, Carragher opines that Silva’s time at Chelsea is drawing to a close, citing his age, expiring contract, and the emergence of promising young defenders like Disasi and Colwill.
With the impending cup final and little else at stake afterward, Carragher believes it’s time for Chelsea to plan for the future and phase out Silva. The club boasts other young center-back prospects such as Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana, ensuring adequate cover should Silva depart. Silva’s future has been under scrutiny, amplified when his wife criticized Pochettino on social media following a defeat to Wolves, though she later apologized. Carragher’s assessment underscores the inevitability of change at Chelsea’s defensive core, signaling a transition toward youth and long-term planning.
