“I don’t want to see him again” “Time to drop him, He couldn’t defend the ball and didn’t score an open Net and caused the Second Goal”- Enzo Maresca shock decision made after Sunderland shock defeat
The atmosphere around Stamford Bridge has turned toxic once again as Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has reportedly lost patience with one of his players following the club’s shocking 2–1 defeat to Sunderland.
According to multiple sources close to the dressing room, Maresca was furious beyond measure after the final whistle, calling out a particular player he labeled a “liability” and insisting that the individual should “pack his things and leave immediately.”
The Italian tactician, known for his calm and calculated demeanor, reportedly snapped in the dressing room, expressing outrage at what he saw as a disgraceful performance that cost Chelsea three crucial points.
“Let him pack his things and leave! I don’t want to see him in my club again,” Maresca allegedly shouted after the game. “He couldn’t defend the ball, he didn’t score an open net, and he caused the second goal. That’s unacceptable at this level.”
Chelsea’s defeat to Sunderland, a Championship side still rebuilding its identity, sent shockwaves through English football. Despite dominating possession and creating several chances, the Blues were undone by individual errors and lack of composure in both attack and defense.
The player at the center of the controversy—whose name is being withheld pending confirmation—had an evening to forget.
He missed a golden opportunity to score from point-blank range early in the second half.
Moments later, his poor clearance in Chelsea’s defensive third gifted Sunderland the decisive second goal.
And to make matters worse, his overall performance was riddled with misplaced passes, poor decision-making, and visible frustration from teammates.
Fans at Stamford Bridge didn’t hold back either. Boos echoed around the stadium as the final whistle blew, with many calling for drastic changes ahead of the next fixture.
Eyewitnesses described the post-match scene as chaotic, with Maresca delivering one of his most emotional team talks since taking over at Chelsea.
“We work hard all week, we train, we prepare, and then we lose like this because of carelessness,” Maresca reportedly fumed. “If you can’t show fight and professionalism, you don’t deserve this badge. I will not tolerate this again.”
