Chelsea fans demand Enzo Maresca’s sacking after a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Brighton. Defensive errors proved costly as Mitoma and Minteh punished the Blues. Fans blame the owners for the club’s decline, while pundits highlight Chelsea’s weaknesses. With UCL hopes fading, pressure mounts ahead of their Aston Villa clash.
Chelsea fans have called for manager Enzo Maresca’s immediate dismissal following a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Brighton at the Amex Stadium. The Blues' defensive struggles were evident as Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh punished them, with the latter adding a second goal after the hour mark.
Supporters took to social media to vent their frustration, blaming Maresca and the club’s leadership for Chelsea’s ongoing struggles. One fan described the defending as “hilariously bad,” while another accused the owners of “ruining the club” despite heavy investment in new signings.
Gary Neville praised Brighton’s dominant first-half performance, highlighting their cohesion compared to Chelsea’s disjointed attack. Meanwhile, Jamie Carragher criticized Chelsea’s defensive lapses, pointing out how easily Minteh bypassed Marc Cucurella to score.
The loss marks another low point in Chelsea’s inconsistent campaign. They have won just two of their last nine Premier League matches, leaving their hopes of securing a Champions League spot in serious jeopardy. With Manchester City, Newcastle, and Bournemouth closing in, the pressure on Maresca is mounting.
The Blues must regroup quickly as they prepare for a crucial away fixture against Aston Villa next weekend. However, with fan unrest growing and defensive issues unresolved, the club faces a turbulent period ahead.
