I’m telling you that would be his mission” “If the club chose not to pursue it.. then well fair enough, good luck to them, but the good thing about it is we know where we left it, we can literally pick the phone up and get him straight in the door” “Get him in!” (@obionepodcast)

Huge win for Strasbourg. They are now in the top 4 in Ligue and with momentum. 5 consecutive wins, 7 wins, and a draw in their last 8 games in Ligue 1.

Thomas Frank: “They are well-coached, they’ve spent billions on players and I think the way we played and performed today, we had the better chances to win the game.” [MOTD]

Pochettino - 63 points in total Maresca - 53 points (7 games remaining)

Enzo Maresca on missed chances: "I think we shot more than 20 times, I think the only thing we missed has been the goal but overall, it’s been a good performance." [via @BBCMOTD]

I think our next manager will be Liam Rosenior. Strassbourg will get one of these coaches to replace Rosenior!!! C.Fàbregas, Matthias Jaissle, Abel Ferreira, Iñigo Pérez, Will Still, David Hubert, Nicky Hayen,

🚨 Enzo Maresca on importance of qualifying for Champions League: "For sure, it will be very important. Since day one, I said that our duty and target is to bring this club where it needs to be - the Champions League." Lie lie lie ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Enzo Maresca on away form - is it a real problem? "I think we started the season winning many games away and we struggled at home. Now it is the other way. To get top four or top five, fight for the title, you need the right balance. Overall in terms of numbers, we are there since the start.

🗣 Enzo Maresca: "To be honest, I didn't prepare the game today thinking it's been a long time since we win away and we need to win." @BobbyVincentFL 🚨 Enzo Maresca - annoyed with the scheduling? "I think so, yes, especially at this stage of the season. Thursday night was a demanding game. When it is a transition game, it is physically demanding. Tottenham was more transitions compared to today, for instance." (@BobbyVincentFL)

Maresca: “I think we played a good game, we played Thursday night. Today was tricky game, sunny day. They tried to kill the tempo, we did enough to win, we shot over 20 times”

The problem all our new top talents will rot under this Marescaball!!!🙂‍↕️😮‍💨😮‍💨😡

Is that the behavior of a winner🫡

Rosenior makes it to the CL with Strassbourg and we miss them!!!!

Brentford only clean sheet at home and Ipswich’s only home win. Marescas Chelsea 😍🥰

So bottom line… Zero Away Wins in four months of football… But club are happy… Christ we’ve fallen off a cliff…

Stat: Brentford recorded their first clean sheet at home in the season today. Chelsea have scored 1 goal in their last 4 league games from inside the box and that was Enzo's header. The last shot scored from inside the box was Cucurella's vs Southampton. All competitions they've not scored 2+ in a game since Copenhagen away.
