Liverpool defeated Manchester United 3-0 while Chelsea lost to Manchester City 4-2 in the preseason. With the way Chelsea played, I don’t really know what to think of them. The half time stats shows Chelsea had better ball possession. That’s quite strange especially against Manchester City, that plays possession football. They tried to pass the ball around and work towards a pattern, but they were failing at some simple things like picking runs and making quick decisions. Honestly, I think Chelsea will be embarrassed before they understand Enzo Maresca’s style of play.
Sometimes I don’t blame Todd Boehly for sacking Pochettino. Chelsea were almost getting themselves towards the end of last season. They seemed to have gotten a grasp of Pochettino’s demands. They would have been a force in the new season because everything was clicking and they were playing better.
The problem with Chelsea is that they do not have patience,I was quite confident that if they had allowed Pochetino to still stay for one more season,he would have turned things around.Like you said,the players were already getting to blend very well towards the end of last season,yes,and if they had keep their coach Pochetino,he would have signed more players this summer and turned Chelsea into a tittle contending club.Now they have to learn a new pattern that will be introduced by Enzo before they can perform well,maybe,the board will get him sacked before January next year.
When Chelsea has decide to sack Tuchel i think the situation of Chelsea never been better especially when Graham Potter arrived to this team that the performance of Chelsea are getting worse but everything was change when Pochettino arrived at the beginning of last season although Chelsea under Pochettino have to hard struggling to find their shape but eventually Chelsea performance is getting better under him and the latest proof is Chelsea can able to finish at 6th place which this position is much better compared to season 2022/2023
But Chelsea has make dare decision with sack Pochettino and most people didn't expect this is happend because during train Chelsea Pochettino records is more good than Chelsea previous managers and some of fans and Chelsea players also reported very dissapointing with this news because they thought Chelsea management will hold Pochettino and he will train this team for next season but unfortunately Pochettino leave and Enzo Maresca in
Now Chelsea under Enzo Maresca have to start all over again to build a squad and this is big challenge for Enzo Maresca whether he can able to achieve the target which given by Chelsea management or not and regarding players transfer i think Chelsea did the risky moved because they bought too many players this summer and i am not really sure this transfer will be effective or not for the team conditions however regarding pre season matches indeed Chelsea has poor records but don't mean Chelsea also will performing poorly at the league and there is still time for Enzo Maresca to evaluate these results before Premier League started
