William Gallas: 'Chelsea would be better off with Mauricio Pochettino'

Former Chelsea defender William Gallas has voiced his disappointment over his old club’s performance in their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, criticizing the tactics employed by the coaching staff.

"It was man-to-man everywhere on the pitch, I was surprised that Reece James played as a midfielder and it was like being back in 1980. We are in 2025, how can you ask your players to do that?"

"Looking at the performance against Arsenal, you’d say that Chelsea would be better off with Mauricio Pochettino," William Gallas has said.
