Chelsea: Enzo Maresca must beat Southampton and Leicester or will be fired, says Paul Merson | Football news
Sky Sports’ Paul Merson says that Chelsea chief Enzo Maresca needs his team to win both Southampton and Leicester to save the job after a recent run.
Chelsea gave up leadership at Villa Park when Aston Villa beat them 2-1 on Saturday, which is a defeat that means that the Blues have now won only two of their last 10 games in the Premier League.
Their decline saw them fall out of the upper four, and they also left the FA Cup after defeating Brighton.
Chelsea’s reverse FA Cup on Amex was followed by a 3-0 Premier League that hit the hands of the same opponents, and this is a bad form that Merson says he put pressure on Marec, who took over Mauricio Pochettino last summer. ….
Chelsea has to get the Champions League football
If he does not win in the next two games, the manager will not be there. They play against the two worst teams I can play in the Premier League, because I don’t know how long in Southampton and Leicester. So, if he doesn’t win those two games, he’ll keep his job well.
Chelsea had to enter the Champions League. They need a champion league to keep players like Cole Palmer because he will want to play in that competition.
They will have to end up in the top five, otherwise I am afraid to think about what will happen. I just don’t see what a plan is. All seven -year contracts and these players get better. How many of them was a great success?
Bar Palmer, I see no great success in Chelsea. Even Palmer has been fighting now, Palmer needs Nicolas Jackson, and Jackson needs Palmer.
Without Jackson’s movement, Palmer suffocates from the game. There is no movement in front of it. People give Jackson Stick, but you can see how good he is now not on the team.
Now, all of a sudden, they have nothing in advance, so no one makes races, and Palmer has no space. So, it becomes deeper and deeper. Jackson is a big lady.
Amorim does not help his players
Ruben Amorim is a problem in Manchester United. Three rear do not work the way he planned. So change.
It does not help players, helps yourself by just holding it as he used to playing all his managerial career or most of it.
The best managers are flexible. They go, you know what, I don’t really want to play this way, but I have to play in the forces of the players, and then when I manage to enter my players at the end of the season, I will return to play the way I want to play. But at this point, they need to start playing a different way because they won’t beat Real Sociedad, playing like this.
I don’t think they will move Amorim either. Have no money to start over and over. They will have to go with this man. But my concern is that we all know that I can’t play three back, we know they are everywhere. They have no legs and feet in the middle of the terrain. So change. He continues to send these players not to succeed and, at this point, this is happening every other week.
David Moyes, I am wrong his re -appointment in Everton, I didn’t think he would do it well. I think he was amazing. But he entered and played into the power of players, good managers play players’ forces, not managers forces.
This Man UTD team will not win in the Premier League. They need five or six players, so why not play their strength, go through this season, then go and get the players you need?
Rashford Move returns to the bite of amorim
Marcus Rashford is a good player, we have seen him over the years. He has one good season, one bad, but it just sorted his head.
You have a player who probably needed a change in landscape. Or will go in one of two ways. He is worn in the way he was in United or enters and leaves, you know what, I’ll show you.
I am badly stood up. He had a 63-year-old goalkeeper coach in front of him. He returns to bite the manager.
He is better than what Man Utd got when he plays as if he were. Unai Emery and the landscape helped him immensely. And he seems to enjoy his football again.
There is a way to play the villa. We still don’t know how Man Utd plays, they are everywhere. With the villa there is a placement way. He knows how to play. They quickly get the ball and play with a lot of pace.
The villa brings people to the box. You have a goalkeeper in Watkins entering the box and Asensio, which is signing to get it from PSG. So it helps him. Currently, he is probably playing with better players around them who have more confidence than the players he has in Man UTD.
If Arsenal had no injuries, they would still be in the race
They are not far away from Liverpool. Arsenal got huge injuries. Take out three players. I mean, I look at it on Saturday.
You would probably take the front three West Ham over Saturday through Arsenal’s front three. This week, this Wednesday, 100 percent you take three in the woods. Everyone would enter the Arsenal team this week, this middle week. They all are there. Have bad injuries.
They are not a million miles behind Liverpool. There is barely nothing in it. When you have such injuries, it’s simply difficult. If they were Saka, Havertz and Martinelli as their three, the gap would be much shorter than what is now. You can’t move away from it. I was a light Merino restarted in front, you have to play Sterling. I know Sterling did not pull any trees.
Liverpool Wili won the league, but the gap will close. I’m not sure if Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold Renew. I don’t see. If they don’t sign, then that’s it. Becomes a real level.
So, I don’t think Arsenal doesn’t have to do much. I think Liverpool must try to do what they have to do. I wouldn’t care about Arsenal. Arsenal missed because they were injured.
Salah is the best player of the Premier League
Mohamed Salah is only extraordinary in what he does. He is not always involved in the game, but he is currently on the second planet. It is absolutely phenomenal.
I think it was a difference for most of the time. When it enhances and intensifies almost every game, it doesn’t have to play incredibly good to do something incredibly good.
Some are better football players than players. There would be some who is a better player, but they are not a better footballer. Dennis Bergkamp is an amazing footballer. He did not set the figures that Salah set up.
Salah is a much, much better player than him. But I wouldn’t say he’s a much, much better footballer than him.
Salah is the best player The Premier League has ever seen as it changes games on a consistent basis. No one did it like him.
But Thierry Henry is the only player I have ever seen playing in the Premier League who looks like a 20-year-old playing in the U12S League. I don’t get it with Salah, but if Liverpool win the Champions League, he will beat Ballon d’Or.
