Mauricio Pochettino is worried that Chelsea’s young players have fallen into a comfort zone since joining the club.
Chelsea’s owners, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, have built a recruitment model centred on youth and handed some signings eight-year deals. But Pochettino, who dismissed the idea of potential in football, was furious with his side’s lack of effort during their 2-2 draw with Burnley on Saturday and did not hold back after being pressed on his concerns about the squad’s mentality.
