Recapping Pochettino
Here’s what he had to say after the comeback win over Forest on Saturday:
From what was said yesterday [Friday], are you perfectly happy where you are?
“I never said I am not happy. I never said that. I said maybe I am not happy, maybe I am happy. But it’s normal, the headline. Sometimes too much honesty when I’m talking but it’s not a problem.
“I have one year more on my contract. Like I said yesterday, I’m thinking always in long-term, thinking that it’s going to be for life here. We are professional, we try to win games. We are trying to make the owners happy and the staff. I am responsible for all of the staff at the training ground in Cobham. I try to make the players happy and the fans. That is my job. Easy [laughs]. So easy.”
Do you think Chelsea have turned a corner?
“You like to see all of the numbers and data. We were punished for the first 10 games, not because of our performances but because we were not clinical enough with the chances we created.
“In these first 10 games, to have between four and eight points more, I think today we would be in a completely different position. If you count the game we played against Tottenham [in November], that was number 10, we have played 26 games [since] and if you start to count from there I think we would be in the top four of five, for sure, with some very good performances.
