After Chelsea’s disappointing 5-0 defeat to Arsenal, former Blues star Rio Ferdinand has defended manager Mauricio Pochettino, highlighting the team’s reliance on young talent over experienced players. Despite the club’s massive spending under Todd Boehly, results have not improved, leading to calls for Pochettino’s dismissal. However, Ferdinand believes the Argentine should be given more time considering the youthfulness of the squad and the need for experienced leaders.
