Mauricio Pochettino previews Newcastle clash<\/h3>\n

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino admitted that he was ‘angry and disappointed’ with his side’s wayward display against Newcastle United on Saturday. The Magpies ran out 4-1 winners at St James’ Park to give the Blues a rude awakening after returning from the international break.<\/p>\n

Pochettino’s Chelsea were in the game for an hour on Tyneside, until Jamaal Lascelles and Joelinton scored within two minutes of each other to kick-start the hosts’ second-half onslaught.<\/p>\n

There was still time for a Reece James red card and for Anthony Gordon to compound Chelsea’s misery by adding a fourth. Pochettino pulled no punches after the final whistle, pledging to scrap a planned day off in order to put his players through their paces in training.<\/p>\n

As the dust settles on a sobering day for the Londoners, Express Sport<\/em> takes you through three players letting Pochettino down…<\/p>\n

Mykhaylo Mudryk<\/h3>\n

Mudryk notching two goals this season – which is two more than he managed last term – has offered Chelsea fans a glimmer of hope that he may still come good. But when things are put in perspective, the Ukrainian is still performing well below expectations.<\/p>\n

When compared with other wingers in Europe’s ‘big five’ leagues, there is not a single meaningful metric in which Mudryk ranks inside the top 20th percentile. Concerning stuff for a player who set Todd Boehly and co back an eye-watering \u00a388million.<\/p>\n

The speedy wide man is still only 22 years old, which is undoubtedly a factor in his slow start to life in the Premier League. But when compared with the impact 21-year-old Jeremy Doku has made at Manchester City, the difference is striking.<\/p>\n
