Chelsea play Southampton on Tuesday night and Enzo Maresca has dropped a hint on who might be involved in the must win fixture.
The Blues are in a dire run of form and after defeat against Aston Villa on Saturday, it’s now two wins in the last ten Premier League games.
Enzo Maresca’s men have dropped to seventh having been second just before Christmas, but despite their poor form they are still only a point outside the top four.
Maresca drops Southampton team news hint
Maresca made a tactical change against Villa by playing Reece James in midfield, whilst Pedro Neto was deployed down the middle in the absence of a recognised striker.
Despite losing the game the Blues put in a better performance than in the 3-0 defeat against Brighton, and there were some promising signs.
James played well in midfield, whilst Neto had his best game in a while, and playing him down the middle actually gave Chelsea some threat in behind that had been missing in previous weeks.
Jason Cundy claimed Neto gave it his all against Villa, and given the absence of Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu it would make sense for the Portuguese to continue there against the Saints.
Maresca stopped short of confirming if that would be the case, but admitted it was certainly a good option for the Blues.
“Could be a good option,” he told his pre-match press conference.
“We tried with Pedro days before the game, we saw he could do that, it was a positive one.
“The performance in general was positive. Enzo was fantastic. Reece struggled in some moments but his performance was very good.”
Chelsea won’t get a better chance to return to winning ways than against the Premier League’s bottom club, and having registered an assist against Villa, Maresca will be hoping Neto can once again step up and deliver with the Blues in desperate need of three points.
Mr Enzo Maresca What I Have To Say About Chelsea Tactics Against Southampton Tomorrow Is To 1 Try Using A 4 3 3 Formation You Don’t Have A Striker Yet Call Of Your Striker Are Injury If I Were You Maresca I Will Sell Nkunku And Sign A Striker Normally Guiu Is A Good Striker With So Much Talent So Against South Tomorrow Use A 4 3 3 And Tell You Players This 1 Not To Joke Because Anytime You Guys Start Winning 1 Nil You Guys Normally Didn’t Take The Game Serious Again Make Sure You Score A Security Goal Like You Can Make The Score To A Total Of 1:0 To A 3 Or 4 Nil Before You Can Joke Don’t Even Joke Try Keep A Clean Sheet This Thing Occur Against Fulham,Man city,Villa,Brighton Etc All This Game Chelsea All Scored First 2 Don’t Depend On Palmer This Game But Make Sure He Score Two Or More Goals An Assist 3 Don’t Play With Any Body Don’t Mercy Any Body Because When There Are Winning You Guys Did There Have Mercy A Club Like Liverpool Man City Newcastle Ipswich etc See The Lineup In My Next Comment Thanks..
The very big problem with the blues is lack of seriousness. They would be playing with the ball in their 18 yard box while they are on a very big pressure instead of clearing it away at the end you find them conceding a goal.
