Mail Sport's Football Editor Ian Ladyman has insisted that Mauricio Pochettino is to blame for flat atmosphere at Stamford Bridge this season - rather than his Chelsea predecessors - on It's All Kicking Off.
The Argentine manager was incensed by a comment made by former Chelsea player Pat Nevin about the lacklustre vibe in west London ahead of the club's Carabao Cup semi-final against Middlesbrough.
The Blues icon compared Stamford Bridge to a 'mausoleum', but Pochettino suggested that the club were in a way 'paying now (for) the effect of 18 months'.
