Clinton Morrison has slammed Enzo Maresca for making “ridiculous decisions” after Chelsea lost ground in the race for Champions League football.
The Blues had to come from two goals down to rescue a point at home to Ipswich on Sunday, and they now sit sixth, albeit just one point outside the top five.
Maresca made the strange choice to blame supporters for the second Ipswich goal, which is unlikely to go down well at a time he really needs the fans.
Morrison slams Maresca
In truth Chelsea have been poor since Christmas and the style of play has come under criticism from supporters in recent weeks.
Some fans have already made their mind up and want the Italian gone, although it’s believed his job is safe for now.
Given it’s just his second season as a manager you would expect mistakes, but there have been some interesting decisions in recent weeks, including the team selection against Brentford.
Former Premier League player Morrison isn’t impressed and has slammed Maresca for making “ridiculous decisions.”
“He is making ridiculous decisions,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“I know a lot of Chelsea fans and they are not happy with Maresca. His decision making is not right and five wins in 16 league games is nowhere near good enough.
“Chelsea will fall out of the Champions League spots because they don’t have one easy game in the run-in.”
The Blues are said to believe Maresca can become of the best managers in the industry, and now would be a great time for the Italian to show what he can do.
The Blues have the second leg of their Conference League quarter final against Legia Warsaw on Thursday night before a tough trip to Fulham on Sunday.
Both the players and Maresca need get their heads down and work round the clock to ensure the club don’t miss out on Champions League football for a third season running.
As I said before he is not the manager to manage and coach this team . His wasting the talent of this squad . This team and squad needs a well tactician manager coach like tuchel to makes the vision of being a champion team in EPL and UCL and to attract elite sponsorship . And attract quality skillful players . Look at hansi flick now manager of Barcelona. He was available before but picked the wrong one . Changes the directors , and pursue the success in the pitch to dominate the EPL and UCL and that’s a vision for the future not wasting billions of buying young players but not ready . This team is due to win EPL and compete in UCL needs to hire elite manager coach and changes the directors and please let alone manager to manage the team no interference from board and owner makes the club healthy and peaceful environment .
A sturbon and selfish personality…. It pains alot of us ….infact even Big Sam can do alot better…. Look at what Moyes has done at Everton in a short spell by simply deploying players in the right basic maner taking into account their views…as well.
His latest comments are ridiculous, berating players for passing forward and blaming the fans for the atmosphere. Firstly if you don’t go forward you will never score and secondly it is Marescas manic obsession with keeping possession that is responsible for the atmosphere because his slow pedestrian build up is sending the fans to sleep!
