“He’s going to cost us alot” “Time to drop him” – Enzo Maresca blames Chelsea star for shock Chelsea defeat against Ipswich
Chelsea were given a reality check in their bid to challenge for the Premier League title after being stunned 2-0 by Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Monday.
Liam Delap put the hosts ahead from the spot after 13 minutes when John Brooks awarded a controversial penalty against Filip Jorgensen.
The Blues tried to fight back and hit the woodwork twice, as Cole Palmer struck the post with a free-kick. Joao Felix had a goal chalked off for a narrow offside before the break as Enzo Maresca’s side pressed for a leveller.
However, According to reports, MAresca is disappointed in Axel Disasi performances in Ipswich shock defeat after pulling out a a bad game.
An error from Axel Disasi allowed former Chelsea winger Omari Hutchinson to score against his former team in the second half and the visitors rarely looked like mounting a comeback.
Maresca said: ‘It was a bit of a strange game. We created so many chances in the first half and in the first five or 10 minutes of the second half, we had two clear chances; the header from Joao [Felix] and another shot.
‘Then I think the second goal killed the game a little bit (Axel Disasi) makes some mistakes at the back. Sometimes when you create so many chances, the post, the VAR, the ‘keeper saves or the defenders that block the shot, sometimes it has to go in that way.
‘It’s a shame because it was another chance for us but congratulations to them because probably when you save so many shots on the line, the goalkeeper, the body, the desire from them was very high.’
