Mauricio Pochettino was forced to intervene with an insulting Chelsea\u00a0fan who clashed with striker Nicolas Jackson following a disappointing 2-0 defeat for the Blues.<\/p>\n
The Senegalese striker reportedly shushed a fan who was giving him abuse when the sides went in at 0-0 at half-time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Asked about the incident, Pochettino said: ‘One fan said, “Wake up” and started to abuse a little bit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ‘Nicolas Jackson lost a little bit of focus. I then said stop talking this way, we need support, get behind the team, very respectful, and the fan was respectful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ‘He said wake up and the player took it in a bad way. Nothing more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Pressure has been heaped on the former\u00a0Tottenham manager’s side after a shocking loss to Brentford.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nicolas Jackson reportedly shushed a Chelsea fan who said: ‘Why don’t you score a goal?’<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mauricio Pochettino suffered a shock loss to Brentford at home to leave them in 11th<\/p>\n Jackson, who was making his seventh league start this season, was extremely quiet for the Blues.<\/p>\n Later on there was another spat between Pochettino\u2019s no.2 Jesus Perez and Bernardo Cueva, a member of Frank\u2019s backroom team which saw the Chelsea man sent off and also exposed the sense of annoyance in the Blues’ camp.<\/p>\n In truth, Pochettino\u2019s players did not give their fans too much to get excited about and they were inevitably booed off again.<\/p>\n After the encouraging display against Arsenal, even in throwing away a two-goal lead late on, this was a pedestrian performance short on inspiration, opportunities and intent outside of Cole Palmer. Chelsea hogged the ball but Brentford had the better chances.<\/p>\n There was far more intent on the occasions when Brentford raided forward, not least in the urgency Ethan Pinnock showed to climb above Chelsea\u2019s dozing defenders and head in the visitors\u2019 opener before Bryan Mbeumo added an injury time second.<\/p>\n
