“I am responsible”: Pochettino reacts to Chelsea fans after Brentford match

Mauricio Pochettino admitted he does not feel loved by Chelsea fans but is not worried by it after supporters called for him to go in their 2-2 draw at Brentford.

Axel Disasi rescued a point with a late header but only after Brentford had produced a second-half turnaround with strikes from Mads Roerslev and Yoane Wissa cancelled out Nicolas Jackson’s opener.

Chelsea fans chanted against co-owner Todd Boehly, sung the name of Jose Mourinho and called for Pochettino to go while their side trailed at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Asked in his post-match press conference if he was worried about his relationship with the supporters, Pochettino said: “I am not worried. We need to accept this relationship.

“Someone asked me, ‘You feel the love from the fans?’ No. We need to build our relationship. You build your relationship by winning games but at the moment we are not matching the expectation. Normally in football, you pay with the coach or with the people above.”

Pochettino said he had not heard the chants and added: “It’s normal, we were losing the game 2-1 and they expressed their frustration. Of course, I am responsible, I am the head coach.”
