Chelsea fans believes Pochettino dropping this Chelsea man caused Chelsea 4-1 defeat to Newcastle ‘Too bad’
A “devastated” Thiago Silva apologised to Chelsea fans in an emotional message after an awful error gifted Newcastle a goal in a 4-1 defeat.
WHAT THIAGO SILVA SAID
Silva posted an emotional message after the defeat which read: “I’m devastated. It wasn’t a good day for us. I would like to apologise to everyone for the defeat, especially to my teammates who believe in me and support me every day. I take full responsibility. Let’s gather strength and come back stronger.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
After coming out second-best to an injury-ravaged Newcastle, Mauricio Pochettino was naturally left “upset”. Alexander Isak scored the opener but Raheem Sterling ensured that they were back on level terms soon after scoring a brilliant free kick. However, after the break, the Magpies upped the ante and Jamaal Lascelles made the most of the inspired start and put his team back in the lead. After Silva’s howler, things went further south for Chelsea as Reece James was handed his marching orders. Ten minutes later, Anthony Gordon scored the fourth of the match for Newcastle to seal a memorable evening for the fans at St. James’ Park.
WHAT NEXT FOR THIAGO SILVA?
Silva is one of the leaders in the dressing room and became the oldest player to ever feature for the Blues at 39 years and 64 days when he was named in the starting XI against Newcastle. The centre-back will look to put this disappointment on the back burner and move ahead as Chelsea are set to host Brighton next on December 3.
