“They’re ruining Maresca team” “Always leaking” – Rio Ferdinand tears out two Chelsea stars after another shock draw against Palace
Rio Ferdinand, a football commentator and Manchester United defender, analyzes Chelsea’s performance versus Crystal Palace.
Chelsea’s disappointing away draw against Crystal Palace this afternoon marked the beginning of 2025.
Following their 1-1 Premier League match with Crystal Palace, Enzo Maresca’s team was only able to salvage a point at Selhurst Park.
Rio Ferdinand, meanwhile, criticized Marc Cucurella and Malo Gusto for their performance against the Eagles following the match against Crystal Palace.
Rio Ferdinand stated: “The coach needs to work on the fact that {Gusto and Cucu} are still leaking information about the team.”
Chelsea sometimes struggles with game management. Instead of constantly trying to advance, they should know when to slow down, have some players drop off, and have someone sit next to Moises Caicedo in the base of midfield.
Following the Palace tie, Enzo Maresca’s team is still at fourth in the division rankings. They can see that Manchester City is just two points behind them and Newcastle United, who are in fifth position, is only one point behind them.
As of right now, both of these teams will focus on the FA Cup’s third round. Chelsea will face Morecambe at Stamford Bridge on January 11 while Palace will visit Stockport County the following day.
On January 14, Chelsea will play their next Premier League game at home against Bournemouth, while Palace will play away to Leicester City the same day.
