And Rossini just doesn't have that kind of level of protection.

Maresca's a far superior manager to Maresca.

He is, but all he seemed to do is marshal a defence and just made them look a bit tidy at the cost of, you know, the attacking football just wasn't there.

We don't have any grown-up to draw on player-wise.

We don't have any sort of grown-up players to sort of stand up and be counted because everyone's just too young, too inefficient, and too inexperienced in the squad.

You're not going to score a goal, are you?

Well, it is.

90 minutes of football.

There was a point in time where Chelsea, when they seemed like they were trying to win football matches, they'd at least get a player sent off, which they don't seem to want to do.
