Think fans should take Fake dollar bills to the club to throw into the director's boxes... It is after all what they want. We could wave it behind the dugout at Maresca to let him know we expect more entertinament for the money we pay the club. Perhaps he might get an idea of why we're passionate fans and he may accept not finishing top foure but we dont. We expect it transition or not.

F**KING BRAINWASHED

I’ve enjoyed playing under him and I know everyone in the changing room does too. And over time you’ll see us getting better and better because of him. I’m always going to back the coach because I love how he wants us to play football. I love the ideas he has. I think he’s amazing,” Colwill raved.

I think in all the games where we have played amazingly this season, it has been down to him. Of course, we have amazing players who will help us pull off what he wants. But at the end of the day, it comes down to him,”Colwill continued. He also had a warning for his teammates:

“As a manager and as a person he is top and he pushes us every day. He’s serious at times and he can also be a joker, so he’s got a great balance. And you don’t want to get on the wrong side of him!”

SELL THIS GORMLESS IDIOT

If you think that football is just PlayStation and you win easy, no way. Every game is difficult. And the way the players have done today, fantastic.

After the 1-0 awful performance against Leciester.

Someone tell Liverpool and PSG and all the other teams who play fast, attacking football, they have to stop. It's not a playstation game.

Just awful to watch. Every player has the handbrake on. Watching others teams should not be more fun than Chelsea.

I don’t see it changing until Maresca is out. Fortunately we rarely keep a manager more than 2 years at best, so that time will come.

Death by a 1000 passes!!!!

He got 4 wins out of 4 vs Southampton, Leicester and Copenhagen. That was the absolute minimum. We should have scored more goals and performed better.

Now comes the real test - Arsenal, Spurs and Brentford. The run in to decide whether we get CL or not.

Despite the 4 wins, I Can’t help but feel a massive improvement is needed.

Maresca-Ball is complete and utter Gash.

It manages to make Sarri ball look direct and quick, amazingly.

"I'm really not comfortable with it... far too easy" - Ma...

Chelsea put in a truly dreadful first half showing against Copenhagen tonight - almost matching their dire effort from last week.

Here we go again, more bollox

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has claimed that the poor first half in last night’s game was just all part of the plan, as it was in the 1st leg.

Maresca seems to suggest that they were just sitting back and analysing in the first half, as they did in the first leg of this tie as well, ready to attack and win the game in the second half.

The first and second leg were similar. We planned to analyse and then push in the second half in both matches

Absolute tosh

What the f**k are they doing all week with the scouts and analysts if they need to spend 45 minutes analysing the opponent in the game?

Admit it dkw, you would even take Poch back...........................!!

He’s likely gone come May I reckon.

Can’t see him turning it around to avoid our 8th place projection. Especially with his post match comments & him boring the homes fans to death to the point where we don’t even sell out anymore.

8th place projection? You'll have to explain that one

I have been told by my solicitor to not comment on this in case of future recriminations....

@Term_X

Awful run of form - with this clown continuing to pick his favourites.

He finally dropped sanchez and jackson - and then started crying about having no strikers.

Yet despite this - we keep winning, 4 on the bounce - no thanks to his tactics which do not help us, but hinder. It's almost as if he is wanting us to lose so he can say "i told you so".

He has already reinstated Sanchez at number 1....that didn't last long.

Wacko will be back in the team next.

There's more than 1 position on the pitch and that's the one area even the most rigid manager in the world allows freedom in due to the nature of the role. In regards to Pep, you've answered your own question. Pep applies that rigidity differently. He is also more flexible than what we've seen of Enzo so far willing to sit deep and counter or play it long if needed.

I said if that's the goal, just a thought exercise. You've missed my point on Deivd Washington cause even if he suddenly turns into a 60m player it's irrelevant to what I was saying. My issue is entirely with the fee we are paying. We spent less on Fofana and he had way more experience. Spending less makes it easier to turn the profit and not risk the club running up too many losses. I assume this is a key part of the plan otherwise you run out of steam pretty quickly.

Your other two points I don't believe are related to what I said to be honest, probably just a general overall point. I agree with you but I didn't say otherwise.

Enzo and Caicedo were pretty expensive. Not sure if Enzo was before SD's.

Apparently Maresca has confirmed Sanchez is number 1 goalkeeper again in his press conference.

Maresca said Sanchez “needed time to clear his head”

So,that aimless dive through the air and missing the ball completely that nearly resulted in an own goal against Leicester is a sample of what we’ve got to look forward to.

Didn't he also say the plan was not to change goalkeepers every game?

A walking contradiction.

We've got absolutely no chance, a B team arsenal will bully this lot.

Honestly I do not have any hope of us finishing top 4. We’ve been stuck in this form since December and it hasn’t changed one bit.

Why would it change for the remaining of season? We might get results against strong teams becuase they won’t sit back, but that won’t change how I feel about Maresca.

He’s managed to stabilise with 4 wins in a row , even if it is only temporary. I feel like the arsenal and spurs will decide what way the season goes.
