“Not on the wing” – Sky Sports pundit slams Enzo Maresca for use of one player | OneFootball

A Sky Sports pundit has come out and slammed Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca for his use of one player in an article this week.

The news comes after Chelsea were defeated by Arsenal in the Premier League yesterday, losing to a first half headed goal by Mikel Merino.

The game was obviously not without its drama and Chelsea fans saw what they expect to see every time Robert Sanchez starts, and that is him making a silly mistake and giving away a goal. This time he got lucky, but Maresca continued to back his goalkeeper at the full time whistle once again.

Meanwhile, Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber was seen mocking Maresca on the side lines in an interaction that has annoyed Blues fans even more.

All in all it wasn’t a good performance from Chelsea and it lacked intensity, desire, energy, and any kind of real belief that they could get something from the game.

Former Arsenal player Paul Merson has drawn on the position of one player as being wrong though, saying Christopher Nkunku is not a winger.

Merson wrote for Sky Sports this week:

‘Christopher Nkunku’s position is not on the wing. I feel sorry for him. I like him, I think he’s a good player. He’s one that plays behind the centre-forward.

‘He’s an intelligent footballer, connects things, but the problem is Palmer’s been outstanding. I don’t think Chelsea were foreseeing Palmer being as good as what he was hence why they bought Nkunku for a lot of money.’

And he’s absolutely spot on there, Nkunku is not being played in his best position. But also, the player has been very poor this season and looks disinterested.
