Chelsea & Maresca have 'too many players' | Match of the Day 2 | BBC Sport

[Bert-lwot]

I’m not a huge fan of Poch, but I’m still shocked they sacked him to get Maresca in

[YTA]

They should’ve never sacked Pochettino. Yes they weren’t great for most of the season, but he found a winning formula and they ended up finishing 6th.

[danielknights]

I don’t see unproven manager Enzo Maresca getting top four because he never managed in premier league and I don’t see him lasting season

[dylanlawrenceholland]

The fact enzo, caicedo and mudryk cost what they did isn’t talked about enough.

[Bartizzle]

So many of those players are either under 21 players that are just in the senior set up, already in the process of being loaned out or in the process of being sold. It’s really not that complicated.

[JamesJohnAgar]

I'll be very surprised if Maresca lasts the season to be honest!

[SAMUELUdoh-fooq]

Even this season Chelsea could only go for 2 players one replacement for Thiago Silva and another one striker but Chelsea already buy many many players how did want to play them they even went to buy another goalkeeper

[jules]

True that. They'll never be in the top 4 if they keep turning over so many players. Too many cooks spoil the broth is a saying for a good reason

[leonleon]

Well, we now know the blueprint to become a club captain. Be a racist.

[salimrehman]

Premier league FFP will come soon for chelsea and alot of those players will be sold to balance the book. Chelsea spend over 600 million few years ago.

[malcolmodoy]

All this negativity for the 1st game of the season against the 4 time champions?? It's just ridiculous

[gregmilligan]

Too many crap players hat. To make a case for 10-15 max good enough I'd keep in squad

[MrHotlipsholohan]

For years i have watched bbc motd and very happy with analysis which was concise and accurate and included the vast majority of controversial talking pts, but where was the action of the chelsea disputed hand ball penalty appeal, not a birdie about showing it or debating it, this was the main talking pt of the match especially for us chelsea boys, as Queen Vic used to say " we are not amused", tks bbc for letting us chelsea fans down, yellow card im afraid.

[isakibrahim]

Chelsea talk these days isn’t even about on the pitch. Do they know we’re gonna play Thursday/Sunday all season???

[francie]

Why are players being included that are literally about to leave the club, also what’s the point of adding academy players that have never played for the first team

[akshaypadmashali]

Bergstrom is dev squad gk. Petrovic is on his way to strausberg. Kepa also on his way out. Chilwell on his way out. Humphreys already gone. Acheampong is a u21 player not in first team. Gallagher already on his way out, matos is u21 player. Casadei is getting loaned or sold. Anjorin is going to Portsmouth kellyman and turianen is u21 . Lukaku deal with Napoli is being done.. fofana and Washington are gonna be loaned or sold... The ones who are being sold are playing with u21's .. they are not part of the squad...
Adding youth team players to show a bloated squad is nasty business

[Karlie_Savage]

People are the wildest beings alive
🍊

[gregmilligan]

Petrovic
Cucurella
Colwill
Gusto
James
Caicedo
Lavia
Nkunku
Palmer
Are only ones I'd keep
Gallagher, chalobah , maybe sterling too but there being forced out
Felix is ok better than Neto or noni both crap and hopefully buy osimehn because no confidence in any of they donkey strikers

[andyhanson]

This really does my head in like teams like villa who kept the core of the team together with 3 still at the club who got them up. Then they improved every season and get threatened with FFP but it’s ok for Chelsea to spend 1.2 billion since summer 2022

[bobskk]

I get it if the window was closed. But its still open. For many teams the season doesnt start intil it closes. Last time Chelsea won the league they didnt actually start playing until it closed. They lost 2.1 to Liverpool and 3.0 to Arsenal. They won't win the league everyone knows that but pundits just chat rubbish. And Murpthy hates Chelsea anyway so his the last person Id actually listen to.
