Then, if you are at Chelsea, one natural thing that you need to have is the fire,&#8221; Pochettino said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If not, we are going to struggle all season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to show that we care, to show that we are going to be ready to fight. That is non-negotiable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Football is about a lot of things but we need to start with this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Everton certainly won&#8217;t be short of spirit as their devastating 10-point deduction has breathed new life into Sean Dyche&#8217;s determined and dogged side.<\/p>\n<p>Remarkably, Everton would now be above Chelsea in the table had they not been punished for breaching the Premier League&#8217;s financial rules.<\/p>\n<p>And the Toffees will be relishing the chance to inflict further misery on the faltering Blues after taking Newcastle to the cleaners on Thursday night at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Pochettino sees no excuse in the fact his side are statistically the third-youngest team in the Premier League as they must start to find motivation from within.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We started really sloppy and too flat against Newcastle. Also against Manchester United,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Come on! Okay, we are a young team, in the process of building.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There can be a lack of understanding of concepts or a need to improve in our build-up or positioning. Those things can grow in time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But going there to run and to fight and to match them in our will &#8211; the areas you need to match all the teams &#8211; not doing that is unacceptable. We need to work on this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite his frustrations, Pochettino is reluctant to persistently lambast his fresh-faced squad in fear it may shatter the confidence of his players altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Instead he has previously adopted a delicate, measured approach with his analysis but now his patience is beginning to wear thin.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;When the team is mature and has the experience to assimilate the situation when the coaching staff is angry, it\u2019s not a problem.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But we need to approach it in a different way. We are talking about 19, 20, 21 year olds with not too much experience in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We always need to think about how we can affect them and the consequences. And the consequences are the most important.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sometimes we are like professors in a university, or not even a university, a school. Sometimes we are friends or fathers. And sometimes we are coaches that need to put demands on them to perform.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The approach is really difficult but at the moment we are only missing the results. The process is going well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Nkunku is still yet to play a competitive game for Chelsea and remains unlikely to feature on Merseyside.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1843760\/Mauricio-Pochettino-turns-on-Chelsea-players-with-non-negotiable-demand-ahead-of-Everton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mauricio Pochettino\u00a0has cracked the whip at Chelsea &#8211; warning his sleepwalking stars that he won&#8217;t tolerate &#8220;unacceptable&#8221; standards.
