The Argentine coach saw his expensively assembled team lose 1-0 to Aston Villa, and he was not happy. Ten minutes after halftime, Malo Gusto was sent off for аggressive conduct when he caught Villa defender Lucas Digne high with his follow-through. Pochettino was not happy about this.

A one-game suspension for an unnecessary fifth booking of striker Nicolas Jackson has left him short up front. He explained, “We’ve been talking, and I think we need to mature not just as individuals, but as a team.” Players like Nicolas, who is still very young, are getting their feet wet in the Premier League and learning quickly.

We’re in this to compete, and we want to win, but in order to do so, our players must first make mistakes. That’s why we’re so dissatisfied: we have far too many experiences like this. Because of these factors, this minor point — and another minor one — we ultimately lose the game.We’re in a jam, and we need to get out of it as fast as we can.

After only one win in their first six games, the club’s manager said, “Of course, they’re disappointed.” They were thrilled to join the club and eager to begin work on the project, so their disappointment is understandable.

Ten minutes after halftime, Gusto was told to be ready for action. Villa took the lead with 17 minutes remaining when Watkins scored on the rebound after his first attempt was stopped.

I can’t sаy it wasn’t a red card,” Pochettino admitted. We have no choice but to put our faith in the officials and VAR. It’s on us and the players to make it happen. The referee and the VAR are not to fault. We need to take a new approach here.’Villa’s defense earned praise from their counterpart Unai Emery as they kept a clean sheet on the road for once. After suffering a setback in the Europa Conference League over the week, the Spaniard was overjoyed with the performance of his team.

After allowing eight goals in losses at St. James’s Park and Anfield, as well as three in their opening group game against Legia Warsaw last week, their shutout was their first of the season on the road. According to Emery, his squad hasn’t been competitive in recent away games against top-seven opponents Newcastle and Liverpool.

At Legia Warsaw, we too failed to maintain a scoreless record. We were worried about how this game would turn out. Our goal was to win, and to keep a clean sheet in the process. Our goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was called upon on occasion, but our defense was solid and we maintained possession well.
