BBC pundit Pat Nevin discussed how Chelsea would have fared under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou. Nevin told he was ignored and overlooked when proposed the name of Ange as manager. Postecoglou joined Tottenham Hotspurs who sit on top of Premier League currently. The Spurs fanbase is in love with the former Celtic manager. Meanwhile, Pochettino took the charge of Stamford Bridge but the results are near about same. Though, there are some positives in their recent performances as well. Nevin told BBC Sport,
“Chelsea plumped for Mauricio Pochettino and Spurs Ange Postecoglou in their respective managerial hunts at the start of the season.
“The former was a world-renowned, top-level coach and the latter ‘only’ a success in ‘smaller’ leagues. Having watched Ange weave his magic at Celtic, I wondered on the BBC back then if Chelsea had gone for the wrong man. I got short shrift from most other pundits.
“Instead of coming across all smug now, having been at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, I wonder if even Ange could have got a tune out of the current Chelsea squad. That Brentford defeat makes it one solitary home win in 13 outings. That is now officially beyond bad luck.
“Ange may have produced a higher-tempo outfit had he gone to west London instead of north, but would that really have made all that much difference?
“There is an old phrase, ‘A camel is a horse designed by committee’. The Chelsea squad looks like a football team designed by 10 different AI’s with no real football input from an Ange or a ‘Poch’.
“For those talking beforehand of a possible top-four finish after a recent mini-Blues resurgence, think again. It could get uglier before it gets prettier.”
