Does Maresca have a plan? Looks like ee have no plan at all. In front we have nothing, nobody attacking. The only thing Maresca fotball can do is pass the ball at the back.

Maresca “ WE WERE STILL IN IT THERE WAS NOTHING BETWEEN US AND WE ARE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION”

He’s right about one thing WE ARE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION LIKE HIS FOOTBALL - BACKWARDS

Gary Cahill as bad as Maresca

Asked do you enjoy watching them he said

“Yes of course, they are going in the right direction ….”

Zzzzzzz

Is he still on the payroll?

Getting used to this now! Poor to watch supposed to be entertaining. Saying we controlled game after 20 mins I don’t see it.

He's deluded. Or an idiot. Or a deluded idiot !

Crowd needs to have a serious go at the whole leadership at our next home game.

Joe Cole says the same thing.

These guys were all Chelsea players at one point, they played under much better coaches and they still ended up sacked, so they should stop with the toxic positivity, they know more than anybody that it gets you knowhere.

Time waits for nobody in this sport.

This is what Sarriball would have been without Hazard.

He's right we did control the game after 20 minutes. What the cretinous oaf is clearly fking incapable of comprehending is that if you are 1-0 down after 20 mins and fail to have a shot on target its because the opposition have let you have control because they know that your team formation and tactics are sh*t.

Maresca & players tried apologizing & clapping the away fans only to be bombarded with boos.

Good

They’re all spineless, take no notice of the coach, do what the players under Grant did have a meeting and do the opposite of what he tells you, after all he cant drop you all

That’s against Spurs, so we should be up for it. Get our chants against Spurs and the board alternating.

As they should. Is a pathetic, empty gesture for 99% who don't give a sh*t about Chelsea FC or our fans, as their actual performances showed.

Has he? 😅

Win rate when he starts has been 35%, win rate without him jumps to 81%, despite his xg looking good on the surface level stats, it’s clear as day, a Caicedo-Enzo midfield will never work. The good days, where he contributes a nice pass, the odd goal, or ‘chances created’ are all offset by the lack of balance there. Those two have been given enough time, the Lavia injuries and others being loaned out, all to cater for the sporting directors golden boy, and yet still. A successful future, is without him.

Can't remember a more boring and turgid team since the last time we were relegated. Utter dross.

Chelsea have become so bad I can no longer put up an arguable defence when talking to other fans

Maresca is like that bloke on the BBC who came in for a job interview and accidentally found himself on the news mistaken for a technology journalist.

Are we sure Maresca isn’t actually just a janitor?

A really poor game. Arsenal was well below their level, and we without Palmer seemed to accept the 0:1 after going behind. There was just no urgency to do anything, I recalled their GK made one real save ( a flop) against Cucu, other than that the GK was a spectator. The last kick of the game, nobody even tried to charge into the box for a bit of a scrap, their defender made an easy knock down and waved arms up like scored a goal 🤨 Then there was that bizarre moment Maresca shaked Timber's hand with a minute to go. I mean good sportsmanship or whatever, you aren't there to make friends, not when you are behind in a derby. You would never see a good manager doing something like that in that scenario, the least you could do is to stay silent ( like the past 90 minutes)

Cmon you Chels.

That's a big NO there Tom.

How is it that as soon as the team line up was announced it was almost certain we were going to lose?

As soon as Arsenal scored the game was over. Must’ve been the easiest three points of their season. Maresca seemed pleased we only lost 1-0. The truth is Arsenal didn’t have to bother after they scored.

And Maresca was happy for the game to drift to its inevitable conclusion as did the players given the lack of any urgency.

How has it come to this? It’s pathetic.

Yah... one freak moment in the match for us that created a 1/2 opportunity for Cucu to score...

Some of the players we've got (or had) are much better than they look under Maresca but walking the ball up to opposition's box isn't going to create chances or get us anywhere.

I think Maresca was just happy not to lose by more than 1, on paper that looks like a close match-up 😅. Eghbali and co probably just get fed the score line without context anyway, and go about their day.

Yep. He’s an official club ambassador, like Jimmy etc, was on tour last summer and does the legends media stuff.

Am curious. Why do you feel a need to defend us to other clubs fans?

I mean we are what we are now, no reason to sugarcoat it. Is like playing terribly but winning a game "yup you lot were the better side but we won and I will happily take it". Is what it is.

From Caicedo’s comments, it’s clear Maresca and those above are training them in what to say after every defeat. James said the exact same thing when we pathetically lost at the Ethiad. “Oh they’ve been together for X years.”

Yea it’s an old tired argument, and a total cop out. Longevity for longevity sake equates to what exactly.. when there’s no development or upward trajectory.

Would rather hear nothing at all if they weren’t contractually obliged for the post-match stuff, just so redundant.

Its pathetic considering how many managers we've had come in over the years and have instant success. Mourinho came in and signed 15+ players and won the league first time of asking besting an Invincible Arsenal squad that had been together with the same manager for years. Conte, Tuchel, Ancelotti all winning big things in their first season. Not sure why we need 5+ years together to instill any form of cohesion.
