🔢 Chelsea have missed 79 big chances this season, the second-highest total in the Premier League (via @NizaarKinsella)

Everyone at Chelsea is aware that a lack of quality finishing and therefore goals is stopping the team from taking the next step.

Sky Sports - Jarrad Barnthwaite is on the list of targets for Chelsea if they fail to land the signing of Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth

Chelsea will not pursue a new goalkeeper this Summer, as they maintain faith in Robert Sanchez. However, should his form not improve, they believe they will have a capable back up.

Brilliant statement.

We have faith in Sanchez, but also don't

🚨 Maresca shares the same vision as sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, and the internal view is that Chelsea have progressed under him regardless of their final league position and whether or not they win a trophy. (@Matt_Law_DT) #CFC
--------------------------------------------------
I do wish they'd just be honest & say he fits what they want. We all know it so just say it.

If progression was important Poch wouldn't have been sacked.

Disappointing tbh but probably would still improve us from where we are

Newcastle game kind summed up the issue with Trev, he was good for most of the game bar key mistakes in the first goal. The level of defender we need doesnt make those errors in key moments of the season

🚨 Exclusive: Enzo Maresca will remain at Stamford Bridge whatever happens in the final 3 games of Chelsea’s season. Club intends to give manager at least 2 full seasons before any sort of performance assessment. (via @Matt_Law_DT)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not that I’m a huge fan of Maresca, but this is generally a sensible policy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yeah..i'd say so

how many down to Jackson

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Multiple clubs have enquired for Nicolas Jackson and it is not ruled out that he could be sold if a satisfactory offer arrives. (@MatteMoretto)

🚨 Chelsea have a long standing admiration for Joao Pedro. Arsenal and Liverpool also interested. (@SamJDean @TeleFootball)

🚨 🔵 Chelsea plan to judge Enzo Maresca in summer 2026. Chelsea believe injuries played a big part in the drop off and furthermore, data such as xG and big chances created are in their favour. (@JacobsBen) #CFC

If they believe that......they really shouldn't be around a football club. And again crappy stats that in general are pointless back them The fooking dumb in this club really hurts.

It also does/didn't help our idiot board were unable to identify and buy players in areas we actually need.........like the fooking GOAL!

Trevoh Chalobah will be told he will either be a back-up option or can leave. (via @NizaarKinsella)

I think I would have mentioned that to him AFTER the next 3 games.

Hopefully we can mug them off with Jackson hype.

If Enzo goes out in a ball of flames next year it has to be the directors heads too

Poch had so many stats in his favour (and WAY more injuries). I don't follow that stuff but all the people who do had us finishing top 4 easily this season looking at the data. Didn't help him.

This is just BS

I thought the one benefit of failing to qualify for CL would be sacking this manager. If he finishes 6th and loses to Betis, it would be crazy if he keeps his job.

If he gets top 5 and beats Betis, then fair enough it’s about as much as we could have hoped to achieve this season.
