Chelsea fans believe that Enzo Maresca has damaged the mentality of the squad with his comments after Ian Wright's analysis.

In November, he suggested that Jamie Vardy was the best English striker of his generation, better even than Wayne Rooney or Harry Kane. He also claimed that League One side Barrow and then a doomed Southampton were the “worst” possible opponents for his Chelsea side, who went on to score five in both games.

After Chelsea's 2-1 win over Brentford in December, Enzo Maresca's side were looking in a commanding position in the race to finish in the Premier League top four.

Ian Wright believes Enzo Maresca’s ‘strange’ comments about Chelsea’s Premier League title credentials has inadvertently harmed the club’s season. Chelsea emerged as surprise title challengers earlier in the campaign but Maresca repeatedly said his team were not ready to compete for the Premier League trophy.

Given that the West London side has spent a quarter of a billion on its midfield, it is truly bizarre that they are left with such a weak option in this position.

Jorgensen has made 13 appearances for Chelsea since his £21m move from Villarreal last summer but only two of those have come in the league. Maresca was asked about the form of his No. 1 after he made another mistake in Chelsea’s defeat to Manchester City.

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has endured an error-strewn season for the Blues and despite Enzo Maresca regularly giving him backing, it appears he could be benched sooner rather than later

Enzo Maresca has said Chelsea continue to "trust" error-prone goalkeeper Robert Sánchez after his latest mistake in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Manchester City.
