‘We need to grow up’: Pochettino says Chelsea need time after Aston Villa loss

  • Blues 14th in Premier League and failed to score in three games
  • ‘Players, when they are young, need to learn and make mistakes’

Mauricio Pochettino told Chelsea to grow up after his young side continued their miserable start to the season by losing Malo Gusto to a red card and falling to a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea, who lie 14th in the table despite spending £1bn on signings since last year’s takeover by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, looked short of nous as they lost at home for the second consecutive game.

In one direction lies the world they know: the family stress, the looming exams, the pumping pop beats at the club where they’ll reliably pull boys from school. In the other direction lies an uncertain path, and questions of who they are apart from one another, whether they could be the first in their families to go to university, and how to afford it if they do.
