Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has said that a lack of consistency is costing his team in the EPL. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, his players were simply not good enough against Sunderland, and there was always going to be repercussions for such an underwhelming performance.
Maresca added that Chelsea needs players who are willing to perform 100% throughout every match to even stand a chance.
His words, “We were not good enough and in the Premier League the consequences can be bad.
When you’re not able to win it’s important that you don’t lose.
If you want to be there, you need consistency. Winning four in a row and then today’s [result], it shows that. If we can have that level and this level, probably it’s better to have something in between, to be always in the same way.
That can be an easy situation. We were two vs. one, the striker is facing his own goal. It’s an easy situation to defend. In that case we have to do better.
A lack of creativity, we didn’t create a lot. We struggled. We need our players to perform 100%. Even at 1-0 we lost duals, we lost second balls. Against this team you need to win those.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
