“Start him & beat Liverpool” “He will be our Savior”– Chelsea fans tell Enzo Maresca to start £52m player against Liverpool
Chelsea fans are calling for Christopher Nkunku to start against Liverpool
Chelsea’s team has returned from international duty and is preparing for a key Premier League showdown against Liverpool on Sunday.
A Strong Start Under Enzo Maresca
Chelsea has enjoyed a promising start to the season under new manager Enzo Maresca, and is presently fourth in the league table. However, they face a difficult test this Saturday when they travel to Anfield to face Liverpool, who are currently leading the pack after winning six of their first seven games under Arne Slot.
Focus on Defensive Improvements
Chelsea has been focusing on improving their play from the back during training, aiming to eliminate the defensive errors that have crept into their recent performances. The question now is whether they can execute these improvements against a high-flying Liverpool side.
Fans Want Nkunku in the Starting XI
A growing number of Chelsea fans on social media have been vocal about their desire to see Christopher Nkunku in the starting lineup for the Liverpool game. Despite starting just one Premier League match so far, the £52 million attacker has shown his goal-scoring prowess in cup competitions.
Here’s what some fans on X (formerly Twitter) had to say:
@mbuotidemusua: “I will start Nkunku. We’re playing Liverpool, and if you don’t take your chances when you get them, you can be punished.”
@govmilli: “Maresca, please start Nkunku over Jackson against Liverpool. I beg.”
@jaredadebayo_: “Nkunku needs to start if we are to win this match and take those chances.”
@AcretionDisc2: “Liverpool? I would go with Nkunku [to start]. His record speaks for itself already.”
@DegemaLucky: “I would prefer Nkunku to start. Jackson cannot cope with Liverpool’s powerful defenders.”
Nkunku’s Impressive Form
Although Nkunku has mostly played second fiddle to Nicolas Jackson in the Premier League, he’s still managed to shine this season. The French forward has scored seven goals in 11 appearances across all competitions, proving his worth despite limited league starts.
Last season was a frustrating one for Nkunku, as injuries disrupted his form, but now fully fit, he’s eager to make an impact. With his clinical finishing ability, many believe he could be Chelsea’s most reliable goal threat if given the chance.
Confidence Boost from International Duty
Nkunku’s confidence will be high after scoring his first senior goal for the France national team during the international break. Whether that earns him a start at Anfield remains to be seen, but fans are certainly hoping to see him lead the attack against Liverpool.
Given his current form and Liverpool’s formidable defense, it might just be the perfect moment to unleash Nkunku in what promises to be a high-stakes match.
