Enzo Maresca states Chelsea ‘not happy’ after Liverpool defeat: ‘We don’t like losing games’ https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5857420/2024/10/20/enzo-maresca-Chelsea-liverpool/ Enzo Maresca says Chelsea “are not happy” with their 2-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield, emphasising that his side “don’t like losing games” and felt they controlled much of the match. Despite having more possession and goal attempts (12), Curtis Jones’ second-half winner kept Arne Slot’s side top of the Premier League on Sunday, as Chelsea’s efforts went unrewarded. Maresca’s side dominated for long spells but were undone by Jones’ decisive goal after Mohamed Salah had opened the scoring from the penalty spot. Chelsea responded with a well-taken equaliser from Nicolas Jackson, but Jones’ strike proved the difference. Despite the defeat, Maresca remained upbeat about his team’s display, praising their control of the game while admitting frustration at the result. GO DEEPER The Briefing: Liverpool 2 Chelsea 1 - Slot passes first Big-Six test, Jones' influence and Palmer nullified “I think the performance was very good,” Maresca said. “I just said, we don’t like losing games, dropping points but if you have to decide the way, then this is probably the way. I’ve been in the stadium many times and have seen Liverpool for a long time, it’s not easy. “I think overall, we controlled the game and for most parts of the game we dominated the game, but we lost. We are not happy. We don’t like (it) but as I said, the performance on and off the ball was very good.” Despite a strong finish from Chelsea, Liverpool held firm to maintain their position at the summit of the table with 21 points from eight games, one more than Manchester City, who also won earlier in the day against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Chelsea, meanwhile, are in sixth place on 14 points.

Chelsea still lack a defensive leader despite spending £185million on centre-backs https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5857400/2024/10/21/Chelsea-defence-liverpool/ Chelsea know better than most that having a strong defence is key to winning big games and challenging for major trophies. This is the club that holds a Premier League record that feels almost impossible to beat — just 15 goals conceded during their title triumph in the 2004-05 season. Some rivals may dismiss that feat as a sign of a negative style employed by former head coach Jose Mourinho, which is hardly fair given the team had Damien Duff and Arjen Robben flying down the wings. What made the difference to that side was the leadership of stalwarts such as captain John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho, William Gallas and Paulo Ferreira at the back. Chelsea’s reputation for being stingy continued for years under Mourinho (he had two spells in charge — 2004 to 2007 and 2013 to 2015) and many of the managers who followed, with Ashley Cole, Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic added to the ranks. For all their promise, you cannot put Chelsea’s current back line on a par with their predecessors. When the club were in their pomp, lifting five Premier League trophies between 2005 and 2017, scoring against them used to be quite an achievement, let alone beating them. These days, it is just par for the course. Under head coach Mauricio Pochettino last season, Chelsea conceded 63 goals, a club record in the Premier League era. His replacement, Enzo Maresca, has made a very encouraging start at Stamford Bridge, but the defence is still hindering performances, most recently in their 2-1 away defeat to Liverpool. GO DEEPER The Briefing: Liverpool 2 Chelsea 1 - Slot passes first Big-Six test, Jones' influence and Palmer nullified Chelsea have kept two clean sheets from their eight Premier League games (and they were very fortunate to do so in their 1-0 win at Bournemouth, who had a penalty saved and struck the woodwork twice). Maresca is still trying to find the best balance between defence and attack, which is understandable given he has only been in charge for three months. A good defensive record also relies on the midfield’s protection and a strong goalkeeper — Robert Sanchez’s role is certainly another topic for debate. But for all the investment in centre-backs over the past few years, something still seems missing. Since taking over in May 2022, more than £185million ($241m) has been spent by the Todd Boehly-Clearlake consortium on Kalidou Koulibaly (who joined Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal after one season), Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, Axel Disasi and Renato Veiga. Signing Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer and promoting Levi Colwill from the academy has added to the strength in depth. There is some raw young talent there, which fits the club’s philosophy, particularly in the case of Colwill and Veiga. In fairness to Fofana, his Chelsea career has been hindered by injury for the past two years. Despite the spending, Chelsea could still do with a towering leader at the back, someone ideally next to Colwill who can bring more assuredness in tough fixtures at stadiums such as Anfield, to put those challenges in that turn a defeat into a draw, or a draw into a win. Colwill will be disappointed by the reckless challenge he made on Curtis Jones that presented Mohamed Salah with a simple opportunity to put Liverpool ahead from the penalty spot. After the interval, the whole defence went missing while playing the offside trap for the second, with Salah returning the favour for Jones at the back post. Chelsea performed far better on this latest visit to Liverpool than nine months ago when they were humiliated 4-1, but they still presented their opponents with two gifts. For all their encouraging spells in possession, Chelsea left Liverpool with the same number of points as the last time — zero. Chelsea have now gone 10 games in all competitions without beating Liverpool. This is the fixture that holds some of the fondest memories for Chelsea supporters — it is not a coincidence that they boasted an unbeaten record (four wins, one draw) away from home against them in their five title-winning campaigns during the Premier League era, letting in just three goals. One of Chelsea’s most famous victories, which is always referred to in the build-up to any Liverpool away game, came at the end of the 2013-14 season, which they ended without a trophy, but Mourinho still oversaw a 2-0 win with the inexperienced Tomas Kalas next to Ivanovic at centre-half. It is hard to see the current group getting the better of Liverpool with the same discipline. It is a facet they need to improve on quickly, with games against Newcastle United, Manchester United, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur to come before Christmas. Maresca believes otherwise, even though only eight Premier League teams have conceded more. “The first is a penalty, it can happen,” he said during the post-match press conference. “And in the way we conceded the second goal, we have already avoided this season five or six goals because of the line (playing for offside). To come here in this stadium against this team and to think you’re not going to concede chances, it’s almost impossible. “We can do many things better, but game after game, the defensive line is getting better.” Only time will tell if he is right, but this is one area that the transfer market has not yet fixed.

Why Robert Sanchez’s erratic game shows how far Chelsea still have to go in title race Enzo Maresca’s side will not contend for title until they can find the sort of consistency their goalkeeper has yet to demonstrate https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/10/20/robert-sanchez-erratic-Chelsea/ An emerging Premier League team’s stock is never higher than during the second international break. Every season provides the in-form side who suddenly “demand to be taken seriously” or are “now a credible title threat”. This year’s biggest status beneficiaries were Chelsea, unbeaten since the opening day and with a chance to go above Arsenal with a win at Anfield. Their 2-1 defeat was both harsh and instructive. Few teams win the league with an erratic goalkeeper and that was a fair description of Robert Sanchez. Watching Mohamed Salah prepare to take his penalty from the over-the-shoulder Spidercam angle, Sanchez did not look as if he stood a chance. This despite Salah’s uneven record from the spot, missing four of his last 12 attempts in the Premier League. So it proved, Sanchez going the wrong way. At least the penalty had nothing to do with Chelsea’s Spanish keeper, but he was fortunate not to give away a second for his rash upending of Curtis Jones. VAR reprieved him on the grounds of a brief brush of the ball before felling the midfielder like a reckless lumberjack. The credit for Jones’ winner went mainly to Salah for a wonderful cross but there was a hint of indecision to Sanchez’s angle-narrowing attempt which gave Jones space to prod in despite a loose first touch. It should be stressed that this was neither a woeful performance from Sanchez nor representative of a previously reasonable season. Admittedly, Chelsea’s 4-2 home win against Brighton masked a couple of howlers. Georginio Rutter headed in the first with Sanchez stranded while trying to punch away a deflection, then Carlos Baleba punished him for a lax pass straight towards his opponent. But such is the way with goalkeepers, whose ricks are unforgettable and eclipse a body of otherwise competent work. Remember too his point-sealing saves from Neco Williams and Jota Silva in the draw with Nottingham Forest, and an impressive clean sheet at Bournemouth, including saving a penalty from Evanilson – a penalty Sanchez gave away. James the merciless During half-time there was an Anfield re-appearance for David James, another accomplished keeper capable of self-inflicted pain. He was on ceremonial goalkeeping duty in front of the Kop for a competition in which a child was attempting to win signed match shirts. The usual protocol here is to theatrically dive the wrong way, ideally in a mascot’s outfit, but James saved his first attempt. This was understandably booed with gusto so the kid was given a second chance. James threw himself full stretch to the bottom corner, saving acrobatically with his legs. Where was that kind of consistency, some Liverpool fans wondered, when James was in goal for a good but flawed Liverpool side in the mid-90s? At 26 Sanchez has years left to reach his peak, so plenty of time to hit the level all top keepers must. In time the errors must become quirks rather than regular occurrences. For now he and his club clearly still have a way to go.

Reece fucked up there, he blew the offsides trap. I never said it was solely a cock-up by Sanchez alone.

not if you watch the replays Sanchez was slow to react and had poor positioning It is a rare thing for every single presenter on many of the multiple networks to agree, but I saw at least 12 or so all say the same thing including multiple ex-keepers

no, before there was any Jones contact wiht the ball Sanchez should have moved out to smother the play Sky Sports, right after the game, went in great detail about it

no, if you watch a replay from an overhead angle, he was slow to react and could have come out far quicker and smothered the play from the beginning

the 2 draws

Maresca needs to figure out Palmer's spatial positioning

up to 5 points dropped now the two draws and this loss that should have been a draw

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk frustrated as hell should have at least drawn

close again

pooor keeping by Sanchez on that Jones goal

Mac Allister coming on

Badi is NOT Chels level horrid buy (as was Disasi)

Nkunku coming on for Noni with around 20 minutes to go
