Mauricio Pochettino says he is ‘not here to do what the people want’ as he hit back at Chelsea fans who booed his substitutions during the 4-2 FA Cup win against Leicester City.
Chelsea are through to the semi-finals of the cup but it was a nervy affair on Sunday at Stamford Bridge.
Marc Cucurella and Cole Palmer gave the home side a 2-0 lead at half-time though it ought to have been three after Raheem Sterling had a controversial penalty saved.
A bizarre Axel Disasi own goal and a Stephy Mavididi wonder goal put the Foxes back on level terms but were later reduced to 10 men after Callum Doyle.
But the Blues failed to take advantage of their extra man, with Sterling putting in an awful performance, for which he was loudly jeered by his own supporters.
Fans were then further outraged when Pochettino made his first sub and didn’t take off the England winger, with Carney Chukwuemeka replacing Mykhailo Mudryk who had been playing well.
There were loud boos and chants of ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ aimed at the manager, before Sterling was eventually hauled off for Noni Madueke.
