Chelsea have now only won 3 out of their last 8 matches in the Premier league

Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea has gone cold and is looking for some inspiration. Chelsea have now only won 3 out of their last 8 matches in the Premier league. They have officially derailed from their quest to finish in the top 4 this season and look to finish out of the Champions League spot through the premier league. 

Cole Palmer and Co. have failed to score regularly and have dropped off from the high scoring standards that they had set in the first half of the season. In the recent months, Chelsea have also struggled with injuries to Palmer and Nicolas Jackson.

They have now returned to the squad but they are still struggling to find the back of the net. Cole Palmer is the highest scorer for Chelsea in the premier league with 14 goals followed by Nicolas Jackson who has 9 goals. 

Enzo Maresca was not happy in his post match press conference and he has shown criticism to the fans. According to him, Chelsea fans have let the team down and his team needs their support to continue their campaign forward.

He said after the game: “We lost a little bit of confidence because we conceded, probably because of the environment. This is the moment that you have to continue doing the right things and don’t change plans. 

Also because we are a team that most of the time our goal kicks we start from playing short, the second goal we decide to play long because of the environment and we concede the second one. So you have to be strong, you have to continue with the things that you are doing. In terms of fans, I said many times, we are stronger with our fans. 

We are a better team and it’s up to them to decide the way to be. Today (Sunday) probably, with the 0-1, 0-2, it’s normal to be in the way they were. In the moment that we are in, a difficult moment, you can expect that they are not happy. But in the same moment, it is the moment that we need more support.”
