Chelsea’s Struggles Continue: Wright Slams Players, Maresca Under Pressure

Chelsea's disappointing run of form continued as they suffered a defeat against Arsenal, prompting harsh criticism from former Arsenal striker Ian Wright. Wright specifically targeted two Chelsea players, suggesting they were 'not good enough' following the match. The loss has intensified the pressure on Chelsea's manager, Enzo Maresca, with reports suggesting he's on thin ice.

Analyses from various sources, including The Guardian, have pointed out Chelsea's tactical shortcomings under Maresca's guidance. Despite the manager's efforts to implement a new training regime, the team's performance on the pitch has not reflected the hard work put in during practice sessions. The spotlight has also been on player Jadon Sancho, whose role in the team has been under scrutiny, with Chelsea's goalkeeper Sanchez expressing his happiness about a specific player being dropped from the lineup.

As Chelsea faces a critical period, the focus will be on how Maresca responds to the mounting criticism and whether he can turn the team's fortunes around before it's too late.
