I saw on reddit that one of the posters was saying that Maresca is playing George to keep his value so that they can sell him in January. 

It’s either that or what Juan said, he is at war with the board. I actually hope it’s because he is at war … if it’s to keep T.Georges value up then this club is beyond repair until these owners fuck off for good. I hate them soo much, it’s fucking with my head daily knowing i can’t enjoy my beloved club with all this shit going on ..

George has no value to keep up. League 1 standard. Boards gotta pull the trigger and hire someone actually good for once,  or the club is finished until they sell

Because they are doing exactly what the owners want.. they are executing the plan to a tee. They will only be in trouble if the players they buy don’t sell in the future. Hopefully The Arsenals and The Man Uniteds wise up and stop bailing these idiots out.

It was on Maresca, you sub off two attackers that early in the game (knowing Cole isn't anywhere near 100%), then you throw on George and Gusto when we actually had a chance to have a go at United. 

At this point, I'm not sure what Maresca is trying to prove by bringing on George off the bench every other game.  

Missing the forest for the trees by focusing on Maresca

Agree with Maresca errors in this game but this he's not been tactically inept over a long period - He's been stuck with an odd selection of players and tasked with trying to make this work.

Wayne Rooney disagrees with Pedro Neto sub

Maresca had to take off at least one attacker so that another goalkeeper could replace Sanchez, but Rooney did not agree with the Chelsea boss‘ decision to substitute Neto after Estevao had already been sacrificed.

The United legend thinks the 25-year-old would have brought creativity to this Chelsea side, even with 10 men.

Speaking on Match of the Day, Rooney said: “They had no imagination on the pitch, did they? I felt that’s what was missing for Chelsea.

“They had a lot of possession going side-to-side second half, but they missed that creativity, which a Cole Palmer or a Neto could bring them. So I think the change was strange, but thankfully, it helped United.”

And that's the tragic state of events

I'm telling you now Maresca is at full war with the club by simply putting George on as striker, not using Facundo and putting square pegs in round holes, this is Maresca telling the club indirectly that they can fuck off

 

It's clear that both the club and Maresca are in disagreement.

He wanted a CB this summer after the Colwill injury.

The club tells him that he can use the fantastic Badiashile and Fofana after they repair their legs at the shop.

And what does it say when you have 3 RBs available and you play Fofana instead.

That Maresca doesn't have a clue about prioritizing matches, and how to setup a team for multiple fixtures.

It was a dumb move to mess up the lineup against Brentford.

IMO, Maresca should have easily won the game against Brentford, maybe played on the counter and soak up pressure against Bayern with a more defensive setup, to at least get a draw against the best team in the group, in an away game. Instead he threw away both games.

Against Man Utd, he threw away the game with his substitutions.
