Gentian

I was delighted when we signed him but in my opinion he turned out to be poorer than Jorginho. Hope he turns it around but very disappointing performances by Fernandez

Essentially he is playing a new position. I thought he did ok and you can see that his instincts were to come forward. However, I do think that eventually we will sell him, as well as Carney, Madueke, Mudryk, and potentially Reece.

I am sorry but don’t agree on that at all. Manager is super important, it’s the captain of the ship. Yes, sporting director has an important job to find the right players but ultimately its the manager who has to fit all the pieces together. Its no coincidence that when ferguson retired man utd became rubbish. Maresca touch wood has exceeded my expectations and a different manager will crumble under pressure with all the players we have.

This lad is world class. I don’t know why southgate didnt play him in the euros.

Maresca encourages players to improve as all managers ought to do however it’s refreshing to see that our players are actively working on their development.

Now though he is 1 year older and more experienced. I would love to see him given a few more minutes but sadly we bought KDH

I found the article on X. I can have a look for you if you wish but that was the quote that caught my attention. Also this quote is interesting:

Enzo Maresca 🗣️ "I watched many Chelsea games last season and rarely saw man-to-man pressing. They often seemed clueless in linking up play, despite having quality players. We'll work on that and improve this season." i have a very good feeling about Maresca. More i read about him, more i like him.

He is a machine. One man midfield like Kante was for us in the past. His tackling, passing and positioning has improved tremendously this season. Lets hope Fernandez can do the same.

He has turned it around completely. Played brilliantly for spain in euros and for us now. Long may it continue.

All players are performing well. We don’t have to rely only on Palmer like we did last year. Madueke Palmer Sancho Nkunku can all be MOTM on their day and this is due to Maresca. He has everyone on their toes because if they don’t perform they can easily be benched. So fat i am very optimistic and haven’t felt this excited since Conte.

We need to keep possession for a bit.

Maresca has done better than i thought tbh. He understands the game very well and i see what he is trying to do by eventually playing free flowing football. The way he has managed the team has being spot on. Despite what people think i think he knows exactly the strengths and weaknesses of his players. He gave opportunities to Mudryk at first to show what he can do whilst the new additions settle in. Jackson has being scoring goals hence he has played regularly and couldnt drop him but i think plan is to give Nkunku that spot. Madueke took the chance against wolves that bought him more game time. Eventually Palmer will move back to that right wing as i think thats his favourite position too. Number 10 playmaker will eventually go to Felix and left wing Sancho. So it will look something like this: Nkunku Sancho. Felix. Palmer That front line is a dream and they can all swap positions seamlessly. Neto and Madueke will get plenty game time too and am afraid mudryk will be loaned out or sold eventually. ps: he was quick to figure out players that were not needed and i am sure mudryk disasi and badiashile would be on that list too but that is for another window.

I hear you but he has improved tremendously and where will you find better than him. The link up play with Sancho was promising.

I thought he was brilliant second half.

He is more captain material and leader than James in my opinion.

Sancho and Nkuku need to start next match for Madueke and Jackson.

Great tackle by Veiga. He has grown into the game.

Madueke was poor and Sancho has looked lively.

Neto vs Mudryk is huge gap in quality on the left

Carney should have definitely gone out on loan. I am very surprised that there was no interest in him in that regard. Crystal palace, Southampton, Brighton etc would have done him good. Sadly i dont see him ever making it at Chelsea with the attacking talent we now have and he is not a central midfielder.

Signing Sanchez makes sense from business point of view as he is still young and has alot to prove £25mill is a bargain if he delivers. My guess is that Mudryk and Madueke will be gone as early as January. Mudryk because he has being very poor and i see very little game time for him now that we have Neto and Felix and Madueke will probably be sold for profit and Sanchez will take his place on the right. So, it will take one or two more windows to make this right because i do believe that disasi and badiashile will be gone too at some point. I am optimistic because clearly the owners are willing to spend money to improve this team rather than just hiring and firing managers.

Tbh I don’t even know why Juve is after him let alone us when we have so much attacking talent. They just got two new wingers conceincao and gonzalez. Where as if we were to get him i see madueke leaving which would be a big shame.

Salah was very inconsistent for us similar to Mudryk now. Seria A would offer him alot more space and tactical experience so would do him good but obviously he is staying with us so its just an idea what i would have done.

Yes he did well second half but leaves Caicedo all alone too often in the middle as he is up high in the pitch and there is no Gallagher to help out.
