Chelsea fans think Maucio Pochettino will lose his job SOON after listening to Ben Chilwell interview

Chelsea fans are calling for Mauricio Pochettino to be sacked after hearing Ben Chilwell's recent interview.

Pochettino has had a difficult start to life as manager. Despite spending over €1 billion on new players since the arrival of Todd Boehly, the Blues lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest on the weekend, slipping to 12th place in the Premier League table.

During the game, Chilwell played a more advanced attacking full-back role, with Pochettino opting to bench the likes of Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke.

Speaking on his new position, Chilwell told talkSPORT: "It's something new, but the manager has put trust in me to play there. I'm still learning.

"I need to have that goal threat, to shoot instead of pass!" 👀

"I am still learning this new position, still needing to improve!" 👏

"It's a bit higher up the pitch but I expect the pressure that's on me to contribute to goals, and of course that's something I'm going to try to work on and improve in the next few games.

"To have that goal threat and shoot instead of passing the ball. It's something that is new, it's new to Levi [Colwill] as well, but we're both taking it in our stride and happy that we're playing."

However, some Chelsea fans aren't so happy about Chilwell's new role, believing Pochettino should be shown the door if he continues to bench his traditional wingers.

"If Pochettino persists with this, I would totally understand if people would want him to lose his job," one fan wrote on Twitter. "You can’t invest nearly £150m into wingers and opt to rebrand a left back."

"If Poch starts Chilwell at LW against Bournemouth I am now fully #Pochout", another remarked.

"If he continues with this, he should get sacked", a third fan chimed in.

"Pochettino is getting sacked in January", a fourth predicted.

However, other supporters had their manager's back and were willing to give the Argentine's new system the benefit of the doubt.

"Let Poch cook", one reply read.

"If Chelsea won all those games with Chilwell playing a left winger you guys would be singing praises for Poch being a tactician", another user claimed.
