Chelsea needed to win this game as much as Newcastle did, but a first half sending off by Nicolas Jackson did not help their cause. Enzo Maresca has admitted that Jackson now needs to learn from this situation moving forward.
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher now believes that Chelsea have a big problem after this defeat with just two games remaining of the season and the reality being that The Blues need two wins to guarantee a place in the Champions League for next season.
BlueCo working on deals
BlueCo, who now own Chelsea and Strasbourg, are working on a number of transfer deals to get done for the summer transfer window.
The Chelsea owners are looking to get deals done on a number of deals involving Chelsea and Strasbourg players, as well as potential new players for each club.
Deal agreed for Egan-Riley
According to talkSPORT today, Burnley defender CJ Egan-Riley is close to joining Strasbourg on a free.
Egan-Riley is out of contract and has been offered a five-year deal by BlueCo to join Strasbourg.
The 22-year-old is a Manchester City academy graduate, and he’s been with Burnley for three seasons now.
I think this would be a very smart coup from Chelsea’s owners for a top player to arrive in Ligue 1 next season.
What is the Chelsea owners doing.Having they seen that a striker is needed in Chelsea.Are midfielders more important than strikers. Chelsea has two most expensive mid fielder’s.But no reliable striker.This season has shown how wonderful is Jackson.
True though
Are you suggesting they buy a striker or that Jackson is enough?
Pls I don’t want to hear that name again
I can’t even understand the Chelsea owners anymore. Whether it’s deliberate or something. How can you not see that the team’s problem throughout the season has been lack of a potent striker? So go in for a striker that instills fear in opponent defenders like Drogba & Diego Costa etc. used to do and have Jackson serve as a back-up. Signing so many midfielders for what? I really miss Abrahamovic at the helm. May be, the owners should just leave so we can live & love our football again. What’s this???
Bro we need a new striker.
Make dem go buy Osimhen.
Maresca is really not the problem but the board because they’ve refused to release money for him to buy saying that his wages are too expensive.
Maresca said it’s high time we leave the youngins and go for more experienced players. But our scouts/board have refused to do the needful.
If you were to be Chelsea headcoach, would you have retained Jackson as good or best striking option till this time?
No way that guy is not good I prefer neto playing the 9 then him
You are write my man.
We need osimhen with thiago replacement and some midfielder
Jackson is an immaculate player at his age Chelsea needs him ,We never have such a striker at his age the red card given is subjective judging by the history of the referee and that it’s the first red card given to Jackson in comparison to other former key ,well known strikers .We need strikers that are able to challenge defenders .We will disappoint that biased referee next season .
Something is wrong with you. Immaculate indeed
Chelsea owners couldn’t pick their nose never mind pick a Team
Shut up you faggot
Chelsea should sign Victor Osimhen, Nico Williams and Dean Heijhsen, and a very good goal keeper only for about £300m in the coming window and play the 4 3 3 formation as follows:
Back: James, Heijhsen, Chalobaand Cowil regular with Gusto, Tosin and Marc as their subs.
Midfield: Enzo, Caisedo and Lavia with Marc, Santiago at Strasbourg and Akyeampong, as substitutes
Forward:
Palmer, Osimhen and Nico Williams with George, Jackson and Madueke as the subs
Then sell all the surplus prayers to make money to finance this arrangement and concentrate on the selected, take very good care of them and let’s move on to win the EPL and fight for the UEFA CL.
I disagree with the players you chose as defenders. How on earth can Marc be a sub? It’s should be Tosin, Gusto, chaloba and Marc as defenders DMF Caicedo, Lavia, AMF Sancho, Palmer and Neto. Forward Osimehn or Mateta
At the goal post Sanchez should be sold as well as Jackson.
Tell maresca to always have a player or two on the line whenever Chelsea is defending a set piece,he is so dumb upstairs,WE concede goals from set pieces BCOS our defense isn’t that good.a player or two on the line always will guarantee more clean sheets,boely go for osimhen,Jackson has a very big problem,he is not good enough for chelseafc. BLESS YOU ALL
we need a better player
Lazy owner we need 2 great strikers to win premier league
Chelsea needs to balance the team with some experienced players. We need an outright striker who’s very clinical like Victor Oshimen and an experienced center back plus a goal keeper to start with
Chelsea !!. Always we are in trouble. I don’t have a farden with that.
Jackson is such a failure & Embarrassing at Chelsea – not even championship standard – worst player ever at Chelsea
What about Chis Sutton
Chelsea fc needs astricker not for bad, even if to spend this season just on it, there is no problem please.
I want to become a football
Dem go too play you ooo
The focus of this new owners is different from that of Abrahamovic. No focus on winning, just brud and sell. No wonder a lot of we Chelsea fans no longer recognize our club. What a big shame!!!
It’s others chapter from same book
Lack of experience
If you want change that start with Enzo Maresca
Chelsea should bring Jose Morinho back to Strandford Bridge again to win every things
Why can’t you said Klopp or Pep
I’m tired of this current Chelsea owner. Always prioritize where players are not needed. And leave the needful. And the coach even make things worse
Been a chelsea fan all my life 65 years it looks like you don.t have anybody like Kante good in Mf but has power too go forward, we need also a darn good striker not just hang there waiting for the ball and always offside and let Palmer be free give him space to be himself ie dangerous and bring the goods we need.
Osimhen is not bad and everybody is saying we should go for him. Yes I agree. Buh we should also be mindful about the wages he’s claiming he wants to have its outrageous. He should reduce it otherwise we can’t sign him.
Chelsea needs osimehn
Our coach is not good enough for our lovely club, the owners should sack him and bring in a better coach.
Chelsea need centre back
, striker and goalkeeper for now.
Chelsea need a Drogba, Lamps JT, Peter Cech Ashley Cole and definitely Claude Makelele!
If Chelsea wants to compete for winning trophies again,Manager has to be changed,goalkeeper has to be changed,bring one experienced defender like Silva,Creative wing forward and two deadly strikers.
Croatians goalkeeper,(Osihmen) Rodrigo,Williams to start with:I BEG!
Croatians goalkeeper,(Osihmen) Rodrigo,Williams to start with:I BEG!
Bring Klopp too back
We need a striker, midfielder like fabregas, and a experience central back..
When are we gonna find Diego costa’s replacement
Tell Maresca to bring back Petrovic as a first goalkeeper and and bring news strikers like Osmen and the young talented boy Heijhsen like defender l Chelsea am really fun
My team
Just a stricker and a CB is needed
Victor osimhen is the perfect option.
Chelsea can get a good striker within the existing players. Likes of Madueke , dribbles very well , strong and very fast , tricky ,even tall very good for aerial deliveries. He has all the skills , capabilities of a striker . Also George can grow when starting on regular basis
