Since Todd Boehly became Chelsea’s owner last year, the club has spent more than £1 billion to acquire new players. They spent £1 billion to sign Cole Palmer from Manchester City last summer. Some people dislike the fact that they spend a lot of money on young players. Chelsea has had a variety of players this season, and they are attempting to establish fresh links throughout the season. Many people have criticized the Todd Boehly-led board for poor management of the Blues.

For Pochettino, the whole season has been a bit challenging, but fans haven’t cut him much slack. Now, with a chance to reach the final of a cup in his first season, he can’t make excuses. Even though he might be missing some key players like Christopher Nkunku, Reece James, Romeo Lavia, and Robert Sanchez for the Carabao Cup semi-final against Middlesbrough, there’s hope that Chelsea can turn around the 1-0 disadvantage at Stamford Bridge. Fans were upset after the loss at Riverside Stadium, and since Pochettino keeps saying that his team can’t afford to miss chances, many expect him to make some changes.
Chelsea hasn’t done well in picking good players under Todd Boehly, and it’s causing big problems for the team. Mauricio Pochettino is working really hard to improve things, but the team is struggling to score when they attack. In the Premier League this season, Chelsea have missed more chances to score than any other team.
BBC pundit Michael Brown recently criticized the Chelsea management.
“It has been a real mismanaged job at Chelsea, especially over the past 18 months. Fans are getting frustrated because of the results but they have got some unbelievable talent and just need a bit more of a charge,” Brown said.
