Chelsea with plenty of problems to deal with:
– Struggled with aerial ball
– Struggled with long throw ins
– Lack commanding goalkeeper
– Shaky defenders
– Too error prone
– Too many average player
Chelsea lost 2-1 last weekend to Manchester United and fans blamed Enzo Maresca for his negative tactics but this time were asking for forgiveness over the choice of goalkeeper. But some fans still gave the manager stick over lack of tactical bravery.

I blame Maresca for continuously playing Enzo Fernandez who is out of form. I think at this point, he is just setting him up. He needs to be benched 💯

I wonder why Maresca doesn’t make his boys play overhead passes to runners. Arsenal equalized with it last match, Liverpool won with it today. And it’s Barca’s bread and butter. We have fast players and mids that can play accurate passes. We can grow faster than we are!

He is a negative football playing coach. Can’t wait for him to leave us in peace.

Maresca should forgive us, now we understand why he keeps insisting that Sanchez is our no.1

I now understand why Maresca loves Sanchez, he’s literally the best he’s got.
Chelsea will return to action in the premier league with a match against Brighton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
