STARTING XI:

Jörgensen - 8.5: Multiple saves when called upon on chances from inside the box. Good distribution as well.

Gusto - 6.5: Was caught out defensively multiple times early on after diving in or being unaware of runners in behind. Was vital in possession to allow Enzo to push forward. Good assist for Sancho.

Disasi - 7: Great finish on the corner to open the scoring. Had a very impressive block early on to cover for Gusto but defence was disorganized in transition.

Tosin - 6: Unlucky to hit the woodwork twice. Poorly positioned on the opener, losing his marker. The backline’s organization looked shaky, especially before the red card.

Cucurella - 7.5: Consistent energy while pressing. Not asked to do much defensively after. Cross to Madueke should have ended up as an assist.

Fernandez - 8.5: Great delivery on the corner to assist the opener. Thriving in his new advanced midfielder role, transitioning defence into attack expertly. Created multiple chances with incisive passing. Needs to improve defensively.

Caicedo - 8.5: Balances the midfield and defense with consistent defensive effort. Passing range is excellent, never losing the ball in transition.

Madueke - 9.5 [MOTM]: The main man for Chelsea today. Demonstrated excellent dribbling to create space and played multiple dangerous crosses which should have ended in goals. A well taken finish and an assist to boot. Only mark against him is that he could have scored more.

Palmer - 9: Excellent again. Brilliant at finding space in pockets between the back line and midfield. Demonstrated excellent vision creating many opportunities for others. Tapped home an easy finish to score.

Félix - 7.5: Silky dribbling when on the ball. Created multiple important chances, including an assist for Madueke. Needs to be more clinical with chances.

Nkunku - 7.5: Expertly timed run to create Palmer goal. Scored on the empty goal calmly. Must demonstrate more energy throughout the game and get on the ball more often.

SUBSTITUTES:

Sancho - 8: Great finish for the fifth goal.

Veiga - N/A

Dewsbury-Hall - N/A

Some really beautiful words from Enzo last night! 👇

Enzo Maresca on his Chelsea chant:

“It was a very good feeling. You can see they are happy, that is our target, we work every day to keep them happy. Tonight was a very good feeling. They can see Chelsea is back and this is an important thing.”

Enzo Maresca:

“I am very happy with the five we scored. I’m not happy with the first 20 minutes where we struggled. We prepared to press them man-to-man and we did not do that. After 15 or 20 minutes, we adjusted that and the game was much better.”

Enzo Maresca on Chelsea being top scorers in the Premier League:

“We said, if you remember the beginning of the season, the two wingers, attacking midfielders and the No.9 are in charge of the goals.”

Enzo Maresca:

“We are very happy but Cole, Joao, they are players that can see different things that the others are not able to see. It doesn’t mean the rest are not good.”

Enzo Maresca on whether Filip Jorgensen will keep his place against Spurs:

“We will play [Robert] Sanchez and 10 players. That is the only thing for sure.”

Enzo Maresca on Noni Madueke:

“There are players behind that are ready. We have four wingers that are very good. In the moment that one of them drops for whatever reason, there is one ready.”
(BobbyVincent)

Thank you for everything so far maresca 💙

Moisés Caicedo on early struggle at Chelsea:

“A lot of things that cost me because I had the pressure of being the new N’Golo Kanté.

That affected me a lot, but when I put that behind me, I started to focus only on helping my team and proving that I am worth what they paid for my transfer.”
(DiarioOleEc)

Maresca: “You need to build something important like togetherness, the ones that don’t believe in that, then they have to be out” (SkySports)

Enzo Maresca on Moises Caicedo:

“For sure he’s one of the best [midfielders in the league] but he has things he can do better and improve like the rest. With us he’s doing fantastic on and off the ball, working hard. We are very happy with him.”

Enzo Maresca:

“I’m not surprised because I know Moi from Brighton, from years ago. I know how good he is. ”
(SkySports)

Enzo Maresca:

“My goal [for the season], people struggle to believe. It is today to think about tomorrow, how can I improve the players in the session? Improving players helps you improve the team. When will we be there [competing]? No idea.”
(SkySports)

Low key we are already competing, love how Enzo is downplaying our readiness in the media. Just need Liverpool to slip, then it will be clear to all

Ruthless. 😤
