Chelsea fans have exploded Enzo Maresca for his comments after the 1-0 defeat of the blues in Arsenal on Sunday.
The first half of Mikel Merino proved the difference between the two teams when Arsenal strengthened their grip in second place and at the same time hoped for Chelsea's Champions League.
But despite losing their rivals in London, Chelsea boss Maresca happily remained in his interview after the game.
The Italian said to Sky Sports that his side 'had controlled the game' and 'very well competed' against the men of Mikel Arteta.
But Chelsea supporters had nothing of it and went to social media to criticize Maresca for his 'misleading' assessment of his team's performance.
A fan wrote on x: “” We have checked the game “?? !! frankly, it is worrying how misled it is. Control the pieces of the pitch with sideways pass does not mean that you are driving the game. We didn't look at all threatening. Arsenal forced us wide and shut the central areas comfortably.”
Another supporter repeated that sentiment and added: 'This man is delusions. The difference was that Arsenal tried to win the game. And we did not intend to do that. '
Maresca was also accused of insulting the intelligence of fans as an X user posted: 'It is not the fact that he looks at another game, it is the fact that he thinks we are all idiots and that we cannot see how terrible we are. Offensive. '
The playing style of Chelsea has become an important talk point in recent weeks, in which some fans get tired of the team that dominates possession, but do little with it.
Sunday's game followed a similar pattern, because there were few clear opportunities, and one supporter claimed that the side of Maresca was currently playing 'horrible football'.
“We certainly have no control over the game,” they said. “Their keeper had one saved.
'Of our 508 completed passes, 313 came from the back 4 or keeper.
“It's terrible football.”
Another supporter was perplexed by Maresca's comments and admitted that he looked at Chelsea Games became a 'boring' task.
“Does Maresca look at another game than the rest of us?” They asked.
'He pronounces the same old, the same old one after each game. We were boring and never looked like scoring if we had all been there Bleedin 'Night!
'I like to go to games, but this does me inside. It is so annoying and difficult to look at. “
Despite losing the emirates, Chelsea will remain in the top four for the time being.
However, they have not extracted from home in the competition for more than three months and fell to 21 points behind leaders Liverpool after they seemed to be title candidates in the first months of the season.
