28 h. ago Cucurella gives Chelsea narrow win over Leicester after Palmer spot

Some Chelsea fans remain standoffish with Enzo Maresca, even after seeing their side creep back into top four with 10 matches to go. The sense remains that the Stamford Bridge regulars will take some convincing on the merits of the careful, possession-heavy nature of Marescaball. Shifting opinions will require more than this edgy 1-0 win over Leicester.This was hardly emphatic against opponents who look certain to return to the Championship after losing 12 of their past 13 games. Chelsea were pallid and disjointed in attack for long spells – Cole Palmer, who remains in a creative funk, saw his barren run extend to nine matches without a goal after spurning an early penalty – and there were moments when the crowd’s patience with Maresca sounded stretched.

28 h. ago Maresca warns fans over ‘PlayStation’ expectations after Cucurella calms noise

Some Chelsea supporters remain standoffish with Enzo Maresca, even after seeing their side creep back into top four. The sense remains that Stamford Bridge regulars will take some convincing on the merits of the careful, possession-heavy nature of Marescaball. It is not exactly setting pulses racing at the moment and it was telling that the mood was far from harmonious during this win against Leicester City.Maresca seemed to be letting out a lot of frustration when he reacted to Marc Cucurella breaking the deadlock after an hour of stodginess by gesturing angrily for fans to make more noise. The grumbling about his team’s backwards and sideways ­passing had struck a nerve. Then again Maresca could hardly ­complain if there was dissatis­faction about Chelsea ­labouring against ­opponents who look certain to return to the Championship after losing 12 of their past 13 games.

6 d. ago Chelsea fans grapple with the art of omission by Boehly’s trainee regime | Jonathan Liew

Think it is easy spending £1bn with no silverware in return? Leave it out! Letting down supporters is harder than it looks“The one thing I’ve learned about the British press is they exaggerate a lot and leave stuff out.” The words of Todd Boehly there, the jaw-droppingly handsome Chelsea chair whose name was being sung so passionately by fans outside Stamford Bridge last week. “We want Boehly ! We want Boehly !” they sang in their thousands, alongside a sea of banners bearing the words “BOEHLY ” and “CLEARLAKE & BLUECO ”.Clearly Chelsea fans cannot get enough of their hybrid-leadership apparat, and frankly who can blame them when their leaders are in this vein of form? Perhaps, as a functional human with a life, you missed Boehly’s appearance at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit on Thursday, where he treated the audience to a little of the privileged wisdom he has accumulated during his 33 months in the game.
