Chelsea lost 2-1 against Brighton in the FA Cup fourth round last night, and Blues fans will hate the response to one question by Enzo Maresca.
The Italian sat down after the game to speak about the defeat and Chelsea going out of another competition and missing out on another chance to win silverware this season.
EXCLUSIVE! The SIXTEEN players Chelsea made attempts on trying to sign in January but failed!
Chelsea took a very early lead through and awful goalkeeping error from a Cole Palmer cross for the second week in a row, getting very lucky. But after that, nothing was good at all for Chelsea and Maresca made some other comments too after the game that Chelsea will will be fuming with.
The rest of the game just fell away from Chelsea and their play was lethargic, poor, had no imagination, just more possession play but not looking like doing anything with it.
Chelsea soon went 2-1 down against the home side and they didn’t even look like they would get close to finding an equalising goal. And in the end things just faded out and Chelsea got dumped out of the cup by a team who recently lost 7-0 against Nottingham Forest.
Chelsea fans will not like this
Maresca was asked after the game:
Were you disappointed with the way your players reacted to going 2-1 down tonight?
“No, I don’t think so because after the second goal we conceded, I think we had two or three moments, two or three chances where we could score. The reaction has been there but every game is different.
“This game is different from West Ham. Also, we were at home [vs West Ham] in our stadium with our fans – that can help a little bit. In terms of a reaction, after the second goal we conceded, the reaction was there.”

He has to go!!!!! It’s about time!
The guy is an idiot,he is not a good coach
Not the man for the job hate sacking managers but with players we have should be beating teams easy well mostly but listen to this its a young team that is absolutely nonsens terrible manager
You have at your disposal very good and young talented players in the league and yet you can’t make good use of them, it’s just a big shame to you maresca
Maresca with stubborn head see u sack soon
I don’t see this coach winning a trophy in the next 3years he has to go at the end of season
Maresca does not understand the game of soccer,No wonder he waits until he is scored is when he does his obvious subs!show him the door
The geezer is completely clueless
He’s a who is taking Chelsea backwards!
The bloke is out of his depth, the play has no passion, no energy, no imagination.. a lot of those players aren’t fit to wear the shirt and Maresca is a two-bit championship grade manager with no A-plan, let alone a B-plan. Oh god for the days of Abramovich.
POCH WOULD HAVE DONE BETTER,MARESCA WAS A BAD CHOICE
I don’t know which kind of scouts do this Chelsea regime,let toad bohly and group leave our club ,we are tired with their fake project and fake coaches
Not the man for the job hate sacking managers but with players we have should be beating teams easy well mostly but listen to this its a young team that is absolutely nonsens terrible manager
