Don you think it is too early to judge Chelsea's performance from the first game they played for the season, and we all know it was a game played against the strongest team in the premier league. If Chelsea had played their game with any random premier league and they failed to win then we can quickly express the dissapointment. I know Chelsea have not been performing well for a longtime and fans was expecting to see something different in the first game. There is still enough time to see what Chelsea will be upto in their games this season, I don't want to use this first game to make conclusions.
Enzo Maresca ability cannot be judged in just one match, everyone must know how strong Manchester City is, they are the strongest club in the EPL at the moment and very few other clubs can beat them. In my opinion, Chelsea's defeat was not too disappointing because it was very difficult to beat the team coached by Pep Guardiola.
I was a little disappointed with the tactics used by Enzo in this match, he should have focused more on defense and played a little more closed, maybe the opportunity to get a point was very open. Enzo certainly learned an important lesson from this defeat, he must focus more on his defense in the next match so that his team does not concede easily.
It's still too early for us to judge Chelsea performance just based on their first defeat in the league, apart from that for now Chelsea game is actually quite good even though there are several shortcomings that Enzo Maresca should immediately fix before facing the next match, in this match it can be seen that Manchester City managed to dominate the match and that is very natural considering that the chemistry created between Manchester City players has been very good because they have played together for the last few seasons, while the current Chelsea squad which is populated by young players has not yet fully formed as a team considering the majority of them joined Chelsea in the transfer market this season so there really isn't good chemistry between the players.
In my opinion, Chelsea weakness in that match was clearly visible in their defense and attack line, Chelsea had a fairly well-organized attack through both wings, but the nothing of a target man in front of the opponent goal clearly meant that many opportunities were wasted in that match, Jackson those who were plotted as ST actually did not perform optimally, as did Enzo Fernandez who seemed to have very little contribution when plotted behind the striker in the match, apart from that, of course we can see that their defense was very bad and the two goals scored in that match actually occurred because of their lack of solid defense, many of the placements of players who are not in their main positions mean they are not playing optimally and I think Enzo Maresca needs to immediately evaluate their squad for that match if they want to achieve positive results in the next match.
