Enzo Maresca: Chelsea ‘not ready’ for Premier League title despite No. 2 spot?! 👀 | ESPN FC

[@wobbuffet1730]

We have seen so many title winning sides in Chelsea and not even once we had a bad defence, Chelsea fans knows what it takes to win the League so Enzo is absolutely spot on.

[@juwonwharwood4642]

Exactly. We have a bunch of good individual defenders and then we have Disaster Tosin and Badiashile. Fofana is injury proned but has been our best cb of the season. Levi colwill cannot gaurd the near post on crosses yet cus he's inexperienced. We need another year and another cb and another keeper

[@BertilWAF]

The quality of defence is what defines a trophy-winning Chelsea side. Even with an average attack Chelsea have won. Positive is how solid our midfield is, imo much stronger than our attack

[@jaycobsousa6766]

We are not ready for the title… we are just a chill guy gaining enough points to avoid relegation… and then will work to get top 4

[@Emre_Za]

Call us blue billion bottlejob, Conference league level team. That's okay. But when you call us are title contender, that's when you drew the line 😡

[@westbrooktheory2.098]

Wow it's true .. we've spent £1.2B so that definitely makes us underdogs 😃👏

Like I said before…Chelsea is not in the tittle race, all we trying do is just keep winning every game and stay on top of the table that’s all

[@fortis17]

Peak banter 😂

​@@fortis17 it's genuinely not banter. We don't have Czech or Courtois.

where is Liverpool crying about your spending 😂

[@simonwayne121]

Bro hasn’t watched Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher’s headloss about our spending😭

[@matox3239]

He is sharp, he knows how to deal with the media. The key is to keep winning. Respect to this legend

[@FlyingFalcons_au]

I am here for Stevie, i just want to hear what he has to say about Chelsea.

[@mrskilla11]

he is always so salty about Chelsea, never has anything positive to say

[@FlyingFalcons_au]

@ it’s shocking bruv. I’m glad they are playing really well. It must be making him swell up inside

[@girishbhangre]

@@mrskilla11 That's because there isn't a lot happening between his brains. :D

[@jamesosullivan7049]

Lol. How many videos are we going to get on this topic?

[@fortis17]

Yes 😂😂😂

[@Wiintb]

Yes. And that too after United won a derby. By now they should have started talking about United’s ascend to the summit.

[@apan990]

after every. single. game we win. gona be a long season lol, just leave us alone.

[@javinc1]

Liverpool and Arsenal combined have won 1 title in 20 years. Imagine being a fan of those sides and seeing a Chelsea team that has won more than anyone other than Man City and Real Madrid in the past 20 years coming up behind you. Yeah, I'd be scared. Blue is the color, and football is the game. Chelsea are back, and I can't wait to see Arsenal fans crying again

[@EmekaAgbo-x6v]

Even if we're 20 points clear at the top WE ARE NOT IN THE TITLE RACE we are just playing one game at a time, Man City Man United arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are in the title race

[@jaiuchiha6191]

We’re not ready to compete with our current defenders and goalkeeper that’s it no more explanation needed

[@officialrozay4515]

Please can someone ask where Steven nicol predicted us to finish before the season started?

[@careerkitchenshow]

They all have no shame 😂

[@officialrozay4515]

@ absolutely shameless

[@christianwag3015]

Maresca being "humble" manager...awesome 😁👌🏼

[@themanfromtaured114]

Exactly

[@bryanmiller6110]

Maresca’s man management and how hes managed young players up to this point has not been talked about enough

[@aswinikumar6114]

More than man management, he has been ruthless at the start of season. Sacking sterling and chillwell are notable and are having positive affect now.

[@MayoDad]

at this point everyone at chelsea knows how to gaslight pundits/opponent fans.

[@chikezieonyekwena8918]

Nathan spoke so smooth. Great talk 👍

[@lawrencenjawe9875]

As smooth as silk and with solid points ....True

[@josephajibowo-wp2rw]

The game yesterday against Brentford was absolutely terrific. Chelsea played really well. There's enough goals in the team. We need to take more points against the top 6 to improve the confidence.

[@chelseadiehard1]

Our aim is to win our matches and not fight for the title!

[@RichmondZigah]

We are not in the title race but we are in the top 4 race

[@henryhighlights]

Wrong were not in any race. We just want to win all our fixtures

[@ramshjonhyy]

Even if we win all our games we are not ready

[@bastianogero9609]

For us right now is to avoid relegation and then make sure we stay top 10 and then fight for European spots

[@briyanmutai]

Our goal is to finish top 14 so that we can sign Sancho

[@Wiintb]

We are not in the race, we are in for 3 points.

[@Float1ngG0at]

Maresca with the Cole Palmer approach. Calm, cool, collected.

[@TerribleEnglish]

Chelsea should maybe even be favourites. They're only playing 1 game a week (playing the kids in Europe), and Liverpool don't rotate much, so that will make a huge difference.

[@lawrencenjawe9875]

I think there's a hint of humility and caution in Maresca"s comments though he's right about chelsea conceding too many goals. Why wouldn't he? Any other mamager from any club would have the same stance given how unpredictable this league race is this season... I'm not a Chelsea fan but with a good trip, they can win the title

[@erosianbuddhist]

I started to believe Chelsea were in the race when we were 9 points behind Liverpool, and 18/1 to win the league. Loving that bet now! Should have put more than £5 though!

[@trinigodblessyouth4964]

Slot said Chelsea is the only Team they face that was better than them

[@gustiyanmahardika2560]

I would take every comment about Chelsea from opponent manager with a grain of salt. It's just hearsay and only out of respect. The fact is that Chelsea lost against Liverpool 2-1 no matter how good Chelsea played in that match.

[@quietatse]

​@@gustiyanmahardika2560 If you watched the match, you would know what Slot said is true. Go and look up the stats for that match and you'll see.

[@josephajibowo-wp2rw]

Arsenal was definitely better than Liverpool.

[@FirstLast-ur6xt]

We’re just a chill team that enjoys playing a bit of footie on the weekend. Enjoying 3 points here and there

[@mrpsolutionsrameshpatel3853]

This side stepping explains his phone conversation with Claudio Ranieri..who also dismissed Leicesters' title chances of winning right up to 5/6 games left. Very clever ..keeps the team focused & deflects pressure

[@pinkelaine9272]

Cant Chelsea be left alone to try and get closer to the title contenders? We are trying to get to top 4 atleast. We are not in the race yet. We are just trying to win games to secure top 4 not win the Epl.

[@charlesapana9935]

Thank you Masreca the journalist themselves know we are in it and they shouldn't push you to say it

[@DanielWilliams-vp1im]

I think Enzo has shown he is an exceptional coach. He has managed to make a team out of Chelsea, a side many experienced managers have failed to do the same at

[@josephajibowo-wp2rw]

Such a shame Chelsea aren't in the CL. Because I think this is the sort of year we go on and win the whole thing.

[@corvusglaive5769]

‘What happens if they stop winning?’ They already have. Why are these pundits sounding like Chelsea haven’t lost a game the entire season🤦🏾‍♂️

[@atwomadavidpeterson8052]

Mario is a genius, he got into Maresca mind😂😂😂😂

[@derrickgrey6680]

We are not in the title race,we just wanna win all our games, but if we manage to win the league title,who are we to squander the opportunity 😂

[@simanm018]

it’s DECEMBER 😭😭 can we wake this title contending conversation up in like Feb

[@davidchukwunonsoezeh1808]

Thank you Nedum

[@DenaNurwana]

January Chelsea must buy a new experienced center back..for Badiasil Tosin disasi Still far from good, often making mistakes... and don't forget the new right back and goalkeeper, a new right back to replace James who is often injured.

[@JamesMorris-w4q]

He has a point, maybe dip into the January transfer market and get a world class centre back

[@ajisaputra-nii6279]

Yeah we are fans not ready, even if it is really happening i might be passed out ngl

[@KingMenza]

Please we are not in the title race . I repeat, we are not in the title race. But we are going somewhere 💙

[@akheemvalentine1177]

How about ITS ONLY DECEMBER. Just chill guys, its been a good run thats it

[@elvinmani941]

Yeah but December is a good indicator of how teams cope with the heavy fixtures

[@lotekkaredok1866]

Chelsea players don't even look at the table; they all just focus on 3 points and winning every match

[@favooured1]

Chelsea are not in the title race. They're just trying to finish above 14th place so they can keep Sancho. That means collecting as many 3 points as possible along with way.😅😂

[@Tan92lfc]

Liverpool is confident to win Away at Chelsea, in this season, hardest away game for Reds was/will be at Arsenal, not the rest.

[@ikechukwueze4438]

This man goes straight to the point. Those chelsea defenders will sit up if they see this

[@HarniAndrew]

Even if we end up winning the league we are still not ready. Next season when we win it again we will definitely be ready

[@shiloh2001]

As Vini Jr said, “They are not ready”

If Enzo Maresca wins the PL in the next three seasons, Chelsea should only appoint Italian coaches henceforth.

[@blueCc29]

We aren't title contenders! We're looking to get 6 more points right now in order to avoid relegation this season.

[@ccfoong3901]

All managers will always say their team not ready. This year Chelsea look like winning it

We can't say their ready until we see wat they can do in the second half 😊

[@imlitemsuwalling6286]

@KurtPratt-r4n they're

[@TerribleMighty1]

We ain’t ready boys…

[@Chelsea4ever27]

Mario is so wrong, you don’t say to these young lads that we are in this to win it at this stage. Maresca is saying exact same things to press as he is to the boys. He always says things straight, which is why players have bought into him.

[@benddan]

Chelsea are not in the title race despite being just two points behind Liverpool after 16 weeks. R-R-Right. Tomorrow is not promised. Let's embrace the chaos and go for it.

[@Mircotac35]

We're only playing to avoid relegation, thats our #1 priority for this season 👍🏽

[@Aceboogz100]

[@doobyboy]

If on matchweek 20 we have 46 points we win the league

[@batiso]

40 points is all we are trying to get to avoid relegation. We are a” meat” table club.

[@ImmortalTrapstar]

Were not trying to win the PL were just chill guys trying to embarrass Assna 💀

[@osagie]

Is this the same Stevie? Should I roll the clips back?

[@Bluedothunter]

I think it’s 100% propaganda, which is good for this Chelsea team, but title is all about seize the moment, and he knows they are in conference league and who knows how much champions league could take a toll on Liverpool. So when you see an opportunity take it, or you’ll end up always saying let’s give it a go next year like Arteta.
