“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
Glenn Hoddle attributes Chelsea’s victory to a poorly executed West Ham player – walexsports.com
West Ham’s defender Emerson Palmieri came under fire from Glenn Hoddle following their 5-0 loss to Chelsea on Sunday.
With an outstanding victory at Stamford Bridge, Mauricio Pochettino’s team achieved back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since December.
By halftime, Chelsea led three goals courtesy to goals from Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher, and Noni Madueke. Nicolas Jackson added a double to wrap up the victory after the interval.
“They appear unfazed,” Hoddle remarked of West Ham to Premier League Productions.
They appear to be a side that only wants to play when they have the ball; they seem to think that’s the simple part of the game.
“There’s no consistency about Chelsea’s game as soon as they acquire possession; nobody is closing in, nobody is screaming to pick up those crucial positions, the penalty spot.”
Following the game, Hoddle stated, “Emerson’s still in the dressing room,” in reference to Jackson’s first goal, which gave Chelsea a 4-0 lead.
The second half is three minutes in, and he is still off. After emerging from the dressing area through the tunnel, his situation is completely terrible.
“In the end, you have to demonstrate a little bit more, particularly in light of the fact that you are giving up all of the goals you have scored in the first half.”
Jermain Defoe, a former striker for West Ham, criticized the team’s defensive performance under Moyes in the interim.
Defoe declared, “I don’t think that performance represents West Ham as a football club.”
“You have to work hard first and foremost when you play for West Ham and you can’t really compete with the other teams in terms of your play and that performance doesn’t reflect West Ham.”
“I mentioned that the manager, Moores, is a defensive-minded coach. You would assume that a defensive-minded coach wouldn’t let up that many goals.”
“Against a Chelsea team, a good Chelsea team, but you wouldn’t say it’s a Chelsea team where you can go there and allow five goals if you look at Chelsea over the previous ten years.”
