Chelsea fans on X want Mauricio Pochettino sacked after the Blues were thrashed 4-2 by Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, February 4.
The Blues were dismantled 4-1 at the hands of Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday. Many fans expected the west London outfit to bounce back against Wolves at home.
Cole Palmer gave the Blues the lead in the 19th minute. However, Matheus Cunha leveled the scores with a deflected effort three minutes later after Moises Caicedo lost possession in midfield. Axel Disasi’s own goal in the 43rd minute gave Wolves a 2-1 lead going into half-time.
Cunha made it 3-1 with a good finish in the 63rd minute, before scoring his first hat-trick for the club 19 minutes later via a penalty. Thiago Silva headed home in 86th minute but Wolves were able to hold on to their advantage to seal a famous 4-2 win.
Chelsea have now lost 10 Premier League games this season, and are 11th in the table with 31 points from 23 games, 15 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. Pochettino has struggled to reverse the club’s alarming trajectory and has a win percentage of 43.75 percent, winning just 14 of his 32 games in charge.
One fan wrote:
“Defeat every bloody time. Enough is enough.”
Another fan wrote:
“Changes needed.”
“Poch is done. If not by the end of the day, then soon. However, that will change little around him that has led to this putrid rot. If you could sack players, three quarters of this squad would, and should, be gone with him.”

Chelsea‘s dismal run of form continued as they were defeated 4-2 by Wolves in front of their own fans on Sunday. Let’s take a look at the stats to see how they fared against Gary O’Neil’s men.
