Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has expressed his doubts about the setup by Bluesbaas Enzo Maresca prior to the final of the Conference League.
Cole appeared as an expert on TNT -Sport: '[Playing Trevoh] Chalobah and [Benoit} Badiashile together, I’m not a big fan of mixing it.
‘Levi Colwill has come in and done well. You can’t pick a Chelsea team now, the squad’s so strong, you don’t know who’s going to start.’
However, Cole did praise Maresca for getting Chelsea into a Champions League place, which the Italian achieved thanks to a 1-0 final-day win over fellow European hopefuls Nottingham Forest.
He added: ‘I think he’s got the hardest job in the Premier League. He had an expectant crowd and a huge squad. I think it’s been brilliant.
‘There were a couple of moments when it looked like it was going off the rails and he brought it back.
His fellow pundit and former Chelsea midfielder Steve Sidwell added: ‘As a player you want the truth to be told to you. For me he’s [been] Magnific. '
