For the first time in his career, loud cheers and applause greeted Mauricio Pochettino as he emerged from the tunnel at Stamford Bridge...
When Liverpool last came here, four months ago, the difference in mood could not have been more stark.
That game under Saltor ended in a goalless draw. This one under Pochettino also ended level . But the difference in atmosphere and optimism around the ground was palpable. Among the statistics, Chelsea had 65 per cent possession, the highest ever recorded for them in a match against Liverpool. The explanation for the change is that he wants to see more of the pitch, he feels it is a bigger area and gives him a better view from the halfway line.
