Una Enzo
That's true. If this man knew he won't bring in Estevao till 80 mins then what was the point keeping him out against brentford? Sigh!

Attack wise, Enzo is more likely to score than santos.

But in midfield job, which is what Maresca have always played Enzo to dictate, he fells flat. ..and Santos might be better, atleast in defence.
Andrey Santos scored 11 Ligue 1 goals last season just like tijani that mancity signed for €70m

Andrey Santos is miles ahead of Enzo ghost

James in midfield is something I don't want to see again. Put him at RB and play Santos or any midfielder there.

But we need a quality DLP sha. Someone who can drop between CBs and comfortably receive passes.

Bayern were better, simple as that.
That's where Andrey Santos comes in if he were playing for another team , Chelsea will signing him for £70m.

Check his performance,stats and role for Strasbourg.

You can ask blueman and co tha follows Strasbourg here

Talent is superior it doesn't matter because Ligue 1 has produced great players as well.

No defensive midfielder has scored more goals (9) than Andrey Santos in the top 5 leagues this season. 🇧🇷

He is also among the top 5 defensive midfielders with the most tackles in the top leagues.

20 years old. 🌟
Andrey Santos is not your average midfielder,l keep saying it countless times

Enzo Fernandez should learn from Andrey Santos and hire a nutritionist and a personal trainer.

Andrey Santos will be part of Chelsea FIFA club world cup squad
Enzo Fernandez doesn't look like a professional footballer

10 goals and 7 assists from a defensive midfielder is not normal,Andrey Santos is underrated.

I imagine he would be getting Balon d'or shouts if he's a Barca player.
No jokes here,Enzo Fernandez should have a seatbelt on the bench

Secondly, we just didn’t have enough legs and lungs to close Bayerns players down which I will allude to tiredness, Bayern being fresher and most importantly, accommodating a pregnant box crasher. Also, James isn’t a midfielder and Maresca should know that he doesn’t have the aggressiveness or positional awareness to play such deep role.

At this point, I don’t mind Enzo getting injured if it means we will use a proper midfielder. We will never achieve consistency if we have a player who does so little. That’s effectively starting the game a man light.

Yesterday’s loss was painful because it opened my eyes that we are never winning any reasonable trophy this season.
Have always maintained that Enzo is a STRUCTURAL problem. A CANCER to Chelsea Football Club that kills from within.

A player might be bad or poor but not present a STRUCTURAL problem. Examples of these kind of players are KDH, Madueke, Gusto etc. But once you have a CANCER, you have to root it out.

CANCERS are players that affect your set-up, your structure, your vulnerability to counterattack, your ability to press effectively etc and present INFINITE opportunities for opposing managers to cause overloads on your team. These players deny you any opportunity to achieve consistency. You can be consistent with a Victor Moses as Conte was. You can never be consistent with an Enzo. At best, a manager may have specific tactical tweaks for Cup games to accommodate such a player but cannot prosecute a league season consistently with such a player.

Every eye shall see and every tongue shall confess. He is a walking target for opposition and is EXTREMELY LUCKY to have a superhuman partner who is easily the best at recoveries beside him (Caicedo), otherwise we would be exposed much worse than this.

He is late to all his presses, he doesn't control, completely incapable of recovering when he is wrong side of his opponent. We are on the cusp of greatness once we boot out the fraud.

Maresca will always make the right selection. Santos and others just need small game time to send that fraud to the bench
I don’t think the real Enzo has the courage to send the fraud Enzo to the bench. The best bet is for Madrid to come calling in January and take him away.

Yesterday’s game was lost in midfield because we weren’t robust enough. Non of our midfielders was brave enough to receive a pass from our defenders under Bayern’s heavy press and this made our defenders panic. Gusto made an error because of this.

Secondly, we just didn’t have enough legs and lungs to close Bayerns players down which I will allude to tiredness, Bayern being fresher and most importantly, accommodating a pregnant box crasher. Also, James isn’t a midfielder and Maresca should know that he doesn’t have the aggressiveness or positional awareness to play such deep role.

If maresca can't send Fernandez to the bench to return Chelsea to winning ways then he should be preparing for sack.


Sacking coaches is a Chelsea thing.Nothing new

I’ve said it before, and I will say it again,
Mourinho is the Special One, Enzo Maresca is the Favoured One.
Right now, there are three major factors that make it almost impossible to think Enzo Maresca will be sacked.

Recent Success
He has already proven he can deliver when given the right tools, and this is just our first loss in many games.

Rebuilding Phase
He’s still shaping and developing the squad. Chelsea team is one of the youngest squads in Europe’s top five leagues, and you don’t sack the architect while the foundation is just being laid. 😂😂😂

The new Management
We are no longer in the Roman-era of constant hiring and firing, the board is committed to a long-term project.

This is the beginning Chelsea is Chelsea even you will join the charade soon unless he takes drastic decision because we if continue to loose matches then sack is inevitable.

No way Chelsea is struggling and maresca will be here end of season.

The job is his to lose.

Bench unperforming players and save your job

Owen Hargreaves: ‘’Andrey Santos was really good. He deserves more opportunities. To come on and play like that away at Bayern Munich is impressive. Even though it was offside, was a brilliant pass. A good player with quality.’’ #CFC #UCL

Reece James is Maresca second choice RB, but we are not ready for this conversation
🤔 🤔

Now that I think deeply on this, you may actually be right. No conclusions yet. Only time will reveal this to us all.

Bayern isn’t a small team ,and away matches against a big team at the ucl is very hard ,e come be Allianz arena ke

Even though I was giving Chelsea the chance for a draw the result isn’t surprising to me

Enzo was bad but the slander on him is much ,remove enzo on that pitch yesterday and replace him with someone else and you guys won’t still win that game

Next 3 UCL matches:

Benfica (H)
Ajax (H)
Qarabag (A)

It shouldn’t be too much to ask for 9pts from these matches

I don't know why Bernardo must start though.
