Maresca baffles with Disasi selection as Chelsea’s faltering attack continuesChelsea’s goal drought continues, with only one goal in three matches despite 48 shots. Despite creating clear-cut chances, the Blues struggled against Ipswich Town, who had fewer shots but more possession. Enzo Maresca acknowledged defensive issues but emphasized the team’s missed opportunities. The defeat raises concerns about Chelsea’s top-four hopes, with questions surrounding Axel Disasi’s performance at right-back. Despite his physical attributes, Disasi’s decision-making and slowness were exploited by Ipswich. Reece James’ return to the squad is a positive sign, but Maresca will ease him back into action gradually.
