Honestly? I didn't like the whole thing Maresca said about our CB situation. Now if he's just saying that even if we'll be using Anselmino or Acheampong in defence, then sure, that's okay. But if you actually want a CB, you're just creating a mess for the team.

Vince™ Maresca himself has acknowledged that the absence of levi would be a problem but it would be sorted out internally and he mentioned that tosin fits the profile

Vince™ I’m glad Maresca is bracing up for the battle ahead

The is surely the lineup we should be expecting against Crystal Palace, but Maresca is Maresca.

𝓙άｂ𝓫𝐀ώⓞ𝕍𝕂 Maresca’s gonna keep pressing

Manchester City and Bournemouth, who recently had a loan approach turned down, are both keen on Josh Acheampong but Chelsea have no plans to let him go. Enzo Maresca remains firm in his stance that Acheampong is not for sale. #Chelsea [Guardian sport]

Maresca mud me 🤣😭

Chelsea do not plan to panic and sign a defender just for the sake of it, despite Maresca saying on Friday he wanted a replacement for Colwill. Chelsea's position is that they have depth and they will move only if someone suitable is available. (JacobSteinberg)

Fabrizio Romano 😂 Oh Maresca, dreaming isn’t bad… but Garnacho won’t be on your left side, he’ll only stay in your dreams.

Vince™ If they were not carried away, change need to be made in that department to suit Maresca system. They should go for suitable replacement for Colwill maybe lure Veiga to back up Fofana

Jj Święcicki Nie jest oczywista IMO. Po co Ci szeroki skład jeżeli przy jednej kontuzji musisz szukać rozwiązań na rynku? Ma Badiashile, Tosina i Acheamponga na te role. Zawsze może Maresca trochę dostosować ustawienie

Maresca Confirms Nicolas Jackson’s Uncertain Future as Chelsea Face Crystal Palace in Season Opener reportminds.com/2025/08/maresc…

Chelsea have firepower and tactical flexibility, and they have belief after beating PSG. Inside the club, though, there is caution. Maresca is not facing pressure from the board to win the title. The victory over PSG has been followed by reminders of the need for everyone to stay

SMALLIE BISHOP Fabrizio Romano Maresca always criticises situations and players to deflect any blame to him. The reason Chelsea won the World club championship is because they stopped playing the disastrous Maresca tactics.
