Chelsea boss Pochettino apologises to ref Taylor after storming pitch at whistle<\/h3>\n

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino fumed at his players following Saturday’s 4-1 humiliation against Newcastle United. Pochettino’s troublesome start to his Premier League return continued at St James’ Park, with Blues stars set to be punished for their latest disastrous afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Argentine boss watched the hammering from the stands, having been hit with a one-match suspension for yellow cards against Brighton and Hove Albion, Burnley and Manchester City this season.<\/p>\n

Alexander Isak fired Newcastle ahead early in the first half before Raheem Sterling responded with a sensational free-kick.<\/p>\n

But the hosts ran riot after the break. Jamaal Lascelles restored their lead on the hour mark, and Thiago Silva’s blunder helped Joelinton make it 3-1 just moments later.<\/p>\n

Anthony Gordon added a fourth, condemning Chelsea to their fifth defeat in 13 Premier League games this season.<\/p>\n

And an upset Pochettino described the performance as the worst he had seen since taking charge at Stamford Bridge in the summer.<\/p>\n

“It was our worst game of the season. It was tough to be in the stands. We cannot complain about the result,” Pochettino vented to Premier League Productions after full-time.<\/p>\n

“We did not read the game from the beginning. We did not play how we should play. We showed a lack of intensity and energy.<\/p>\n

“Even after we scored, at 1-1, it was a chance for us to force them to play deep, but it was so easy for Newcastle. That is why I am so upset with the performance.”<\/p>\n

Chelsea host seventh-place Brighton in their next outing on Sunday, but Pochettino has revealed there will be no time for his players to rest.<\/p>\n

The 51-year-old expects his squad in training in the morning to analyse their latest defeat and start preparations for the visit of Roberto De Zerbi’s dangerous side.<\/p>\n
