Enzo Maresca on Chelseaโs 3-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion [A] in the Premier League:
๐ค โWe approached the game quite well.
โWe arrived quite well in the last third but then we struggled to create chances. Until a week or two ago that is something we were doing well.
โUntil the Mitoma goal we were in control. After the goal we lost something. We need to review it and think how we can improve.
โIn this moment the bad feeling is that we look like we can concede chances easily, and we struggle to create chances. There are many reasons why, the injuries to our nines are part of that, but we have 13 games to go, and we need to finish in the best way.
โProbably since I arrived that is the worst performance, especially in the moment we are in. We are fourth in the league and winning tonight you can go one point from third and make the gap to the rest bigger.
โThe performance is not one you want to offer, so we are very upset, and especially very sorry for the fans who were here, and in general to our fans, because in this moment you cannot offer this kind of performance with 14 games to go, now 13 games to go. In terms of desire, we need to show more.โ

Chelsea have paid over ยฃ225 million in transfer fees plus compensation for 11 players, coaching and recruitment staff since summer 2022 to Brighton, yet the Blues find themselves losing twice in six days to them.
It was also the first time since September 2021, against Man City, that Chelsea failed to record a shot on target in a Premier League game. ๐ค

No elite European club has ever set up with a team of just youngsters, now we know why.
Club great, Joe Cole has called for more experience at Chelsea ๐
Joe Cole:
โYou can get all the data you want of a 21 year old that will predict he will be this at 24, but thereโs a process between 21-24 where heโll have to learn in every single gameโ
โI know from my experience, playing with experienced players around me as a young man was invaluable, and itโs moments like the Brighton game where you need those experienced guys around youโ
โIโve said it from the very start of this ownership you have to have experienced playersโ
โYou can have all the managers you want on the touchline, shankly, mourinho, Sir Alex Ferguson, sometimes the lessons are learnt on the pitch with your team mates teaching you and nurturing you through a situationโ
(TNTSport)
Couldnโt have agreed more.

Washington, who won the Under-20 CONMEBOL Championship title, finishing as Brazilโs top goalscorer in the tournament with three goals, is expected to travel directly from Venezuela to Brazil to undergo medical tests and sign his contract in the coming days.

A group of Chelsea supporters are planning to protest against Clearlake Capital, the clubโs ownership group, ahead of this monthโs Premier League match with Southampton at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues take on the Saints in the Premier League on February 25 - the west Londonersโ next home game - and some fans have planned a protest at 6pm [UK] outside the Bovril Gate at Stamford Bridge. There is growing unrest amongst fans with the clubโs model coming into question.
๐ฃ๏ธ The Chelsea Forum - one of the organisers of the protest - caught up with @football.londonchelsea to talk about what is in the works:
โThe protest is about change and hopefully causing the owners to have pressure applied on them by their investors as it will hurt their public image.
โThe endgame is change the model or sell up. Also, their terrible treatment of staff, players and stripping of all of the clubโs former assets.
โThe protest will be a peaceful one with lots of fans and a few banners so that the fans can have their voices heard by the club. As of this moment, the protest will not continue inside the ground. There are already a few hundred [fans on board] but we expect these numbers to rise considerably before Monday. We want to highlight what the American ownership is doing to kill football here in the UK with exploitation and money being their priority.โ

Winstanley and Stewart retain the full trust of Chelseaโs ownership. Their Pochettino-style assessment of Enzo Maresca has always been projected to take place in the summer of 2026, and there is no appetite to bring that forward. Chelsea want Maresca to be their long-term leader.
