Maresca is the reason why everyone is looking average at the same time. His system hides player's strength and exposes their weaknesses.

Imagine using Gusto as almost a midfielder when his biggest attribute is his ability to bomb up and down the flank with his energetic runs.

Who is their right senses sees Enzo as a box to box midfielder? Enzo whose attacking success rate is less than a heavily pregnant lion. His biggest ability is his press resistance and passing which makes him a CM. But Maresca prefers he makes non threatening runs into opposition box while leaving Caicedo utterly exposed during quick transitions.

Maresca, the only coach who believes Palmer is best suited as a deep lying playmaker like he is some sort of Fabregas or Pirlo. He has effectively reduced his impact and adding another work load on Caicedo.

Sancho and Neto are different type of wingers whose Maresca system don't favor. Sancho, lazy and slow and can't face full backs one V one. Neto fast and energetic but poor dribbler and can't trick any full back so he relies on speed and crosses. Because our full backs don't attack, our wingers are forced to stay very wide and don't invert to cause overload in the box.

Maresca is a stubborn goat who sticks to his tactics even when he has been found out, reason he nearly bottled the championship. He should be sacked and forced to forfeit all bonuses accruing to him.
Let's actually discuss this

It gets even worst for City. They could end up losing 4 in a row again. We need to get our acts together and start winning to solidify top 4. City, Newcastle and Forest have tough games coming up.

I'm not saying City should play on the transition. I'm saying Pep plays controlled possession to prevent teams from hitting us with transitions but it has not been working because we end up still losing the game.

Pep is not exhausted. He has just become more sentimental. A father figure, trained some of the same set of players for 8-9 years so he feels like he saw them grow up, win, and now we are here today. He just wants them to know he will trust them until they are no longer in the team - for all they helped him achieve. That's why even though we spent £180M in this window, he did not use any of the players that may have made a difference.
One bad season and you're saying all this about your greatest manager ever?

Your club will be in shambles once he leaves

Why weren't majority saying all these ones last season? Many were even saying James will have to fight for his place when he returns. He was never perfect, and occasionally showcased brainfarts, but he was a great deputy. He was consistently one of our best players last season for most of the campaign.

He has lost form this season, and the inversion nonsense is either the direct cause or, at the very least, isn't helping matters. Let that nigga bomb like the full back he is. I don't even see him overlapping like last season again
Suprised with outrage , he was very ok last season

Infact tagged a minor success story amongst our signings

If anyone is to blame it's maresca

Blame the board, blame the owners, blame the TDs. If any "OUTs" should agending, it is BlueCo and Egbali the U25 maestro, OUT!.

Owners that had a chance to sign Maddison but said no, because he's over 25. Imagine Maddison alongside Palmer, instead of Enzo? Imagine Szobozlai instead of Enzo or Nkunku.

Money wey we suppose take sign Olise, we blew on 5 x 20m U18s. Imagine Olise instead of Madueke? Imagine Gakpo instead of Sancho?

We went one full winter window and no one came in. But you want to blame Maresca. We are not signing the right players. End of!
Did you consider all this when poch was here ?

Did you call him a fraud when we were second on the table? NO!

Were your inclinations about him a matter of fraudulent when we were 2nd on the table, NO!

So what makes him a fraud now? Because he broke your hearts and your expectations of staying 2nd. That's it! That's why you are angry.

The funny thing about this stance is that if you think you/we deserve that second place, did you have the same expectation of Poch? No!

So how the hell is Poch being mentioned alongside Maresca?

Were you saying this exact same thing when he took us to second on the table. We will go dig out your posts. If you were not saying that, then like Bisqit says, you are talking from both sides of the mouth. Sorry boss.

You dey another post dey talk say we were free scoring under Poch and using it rub Maresca.

FACTS! Maresca has had Chelsea scoring 47PL goals, and despite a run of 9 very very bad games where Maresca is being considered the worst coach alive, that's only 1 goal fewer than City, two fewer than Arsenal. 7 more than Forest, and 5 more than Newcastle. That's testament to what Maresca has achieved.

FACTS!
These teams around us have been playing catch up to us over the last 9 games, and still have not outscored us.


Meanwhile, Newcastle, Forest and Arsenal are supposed to be having fantastic seasons. Some of us even courting their strikers.

This alone shows that your arguments are not based in facts..... only sentiments. If you want to argue, please at least use facts.

Now look on the table yourself, and see how many goals each of those teams have conceded. There you find your answer.

If you want to argue this shit with me, it needs to be based in facts.
You are free to dig my posts out on maresca egbon🥲

Maresca is a foolish coach going into the season without a quality natural striker. Thunder fire him, the sporting director and all those that failed to get us a clinical finisher.

At one point in the match, Palmer expected Nkunku to open up for a pass to set him up on goal but Nkunku didn't get the memo as he is never a striker. Woods, a striker, scored 3 goals against this Brighton.
Bro I no fit blame striker anymore

Poch had only a raw jackson
Nkunuku was out injured

He found a way to utilize palmer by giving him a free role
We became a free scoring side
James, col will, fofana, Silva were injured under poch


We were too harsh on him

And yes maresca is a foolish coach for trusting only Jackson and nkunku going into the season

January window opened and the clown didn't request for a striker

Enzo Maresca on if he was disappointed in the reaction to going behind tonight:

"I don't think so. After we concede the second goal, we had three or four chances to score so the reaction was there. Every game is different. In terms of reaction, after the second goal we concede, the reaction was there."
