....................

At first he was doing a great job with the team as he brought some bit of improvement as we started seeing positives results then all of a sudden the team is like going back to its former condition of inconsistency before he took the job as manager. His choice to continuously give priority to Nicolas Jackson believing the dude is going to improve and be become decisive with goals opportunities as a striker, which made him (Maresca) not to buy an experience and better striker in order to make that position competitive is what is going to cost him his job as Chelsea's manager.

For god's sake Chelsea needs a fine finisher who's presence should be a treat to defenders when he's at the 18 yard box of their opponent but definitely not N. Jackson, at least not for now.

As you said, Chelsea really need a sharp striker right now, who is able to maximize every opportunity he gets in a match. In addition, they also have to strengthen their defense again, because in several matches Chelsea often loses its consistency which makes the score turn around and become a defeat for Chelsea.

When facing Brighton in the FA Cup, they really played badly, they only created a few opportunities and from those few opportunities they were unable to maximize them well, which at least from the 7 shots they released, only 1 shot was on target.

Meanwhile, for the next match in the Premier League, they will face Brighton again, and will Chelsea be able to avenge their defeat in the EPL...?

Oh man, Maresca seems to be satisfied with these average playing performance from these players and doesn't seem a need to either sign a new striker to support the frontline or add to the strength of the defense, and this is not unconnected to his live statement that a prestigious club as big as Chelsea isn't playing towards winning the EPL this season, and this has in no wise created a poor winning mentality towards the players that they couldn't even get a better performance, shots on target and possession against average Brighton which Nottingham Forest humbled.

Now they're out of the FA Cup and the Carabao cup competitions with just the conference league and EPL left. I won't be surprised to see Chelsea get defeated again by Brighton when they meet in the EPL because nothing has changed about the team. One thing I know is that the defeat in the FA cup competition will give Brighton more confidence to want to repeat their winning streak.
