Jadon Sancho has 4 assists this PL season.
That's more than he ever had in a season for @ManchesterUnited.

STARTING XI:
Sanchez - 6.5: Good shot-stopping, but distribution and risk-taking needed to improve. 50% of his long balls and 72% of his passes were successful.
Gusto - 5.5: Caught out of position for Palaceโs goal.
Acheampong - 7: Mature first Premier League start for a teenager. Looked very composed on the ball.
Colwill - 7: Decent game and made important blocks.
Cucurella - 6.5: Overall a good game, but unfortunately too slow tracking back in the build-up of Palaceโs goal.
Caicedo - 7: Decent game, but needs to advance the ball a bit faster.
Fernandez - 7.5: Very involved on both ends of the pitch.
Palmer - 7: Composed finish to give us the lead, and linked- well with Sancho whilst finding some good passes. Needs to learn better how to deal with multiple players pressing him, as he unnecessarily loses the ball quite a few times, which ultimately led to Palaceโs goal.
Neto - 6: Way too predictable for defenders. He provides good width and utilized his speed very well to get past defenders, but ultimately doesnโt produce much.
Sancho - 8: Superb run and assist. Ball retention and understanding with teammates is really good. Did his defensive duties well, too.
Jackson - 4: Should have scored at least one. Didnโt have a bad game in other areas but needs to be ultimately judged by how well he uses his chances.
SUBSTITUTES:
Madueke - N/A
Guiu - N/A

Forget the title race, we might actually miss out on top four this season.
Performance level has dropped massively, complacency has set in. This is not the high flying Chelsea we saw few weeks ago.
Time to wake up!
Enzo Maresca:
โWe did enough to win the game today. Between the first and second-halves we created enough chances to win the game but we need to be clinical. Unfortunately at the end, we conceded but overall I think we did enough to win the game.โ
โTwo weeks ago, three weeks ago, we were talking about the title race. We knew that @Newcastle_United and Villa would be there, City too. For me, itโs not about the table but how we can improve things.โ

Enzo Maresca on Chelseaโs 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace [A] in the Premier League:
๐ค โProbably we did enough to win the game today.
โBetween the first half and the second half I think we created enough chances to win the game, but going forward you need to be clinical, otherwise the game is always open, especially in this stadium.
โAny transition, any corner, brought energy for them. Unfortunately at the end we conceded but overall today I think we did enough to win.โ

โFor me itโs not about the table, itโs just about seeing how we can improve things and today for me the performance was very good, on the ball and off the ball. But this moment of the season is going to happen for any team in any season, that you have some moment when you are not able to win games.
โEvery game is different, sometimes it is for one reason, other times a different reason. Today if I have to decide the reason why we didnโt win the game, I think it is just about trying to be clinical when you have the chance to kill the game, because at 2-0 the game is probably finished.
โIf you continue to be open at the end, you are going to concede some transitions, some corners, and then you can concede a goal.โ

โFirst of all Iโve always said the most important thing is to create chances, because if you create chances that means you are doing the right things. Then you need to take those chances.
โIn the Ipswich game, we had so many chances. Sometimes thatโs football. Sometimes you create one chance and score one, sometimes you need to create 10 chances to score two.โ
โThe only thing we can do is try to be even more intense during the week when we prepare for the game, even if the intensity of the players is already top, but for sure it is something that we need to improve, remembering that we are one of the best teams for scoring goals at this moment.โ

Maresca is suddenly a championship manager according to some Chelsea fans
He is no saint in our recent poor form but perspective is key, we are not ready to compete and yesterday was a perfect example. We dominate teams but canโt kill off games, this is the difference between CFC and the likes of Liverpool.
Not defending Maresca but thereโs a bigger issue here, with a stable goalie and a dangerous 9 we are probably in a proper title race this season. Work to do in the summer.
Enzo Marescaโs first 30 games as a Chelsea manager
18 wins
6 draws
6 losses
Honest thoughts on life under Maresca so far blues?
