I have warned Enzo Maresca about that particular player, he refused to bench him, He keeps causing problems to the teams, He cost Chelsea thier defeat yesterday against Brighton and Enzo Maresca played him full time: Former Chelsea manager Mauricio Potchettino names ONE player who doesn’t deserve to start for Chelsea, warned Maresca about the unforgivable mistake.

“I WARNED ENZO, BUT HE REFUSED TO LISTEN” – POCHETTINO SLAMS CHELSEA’S BIGGEST LIABILITY AFTER BRIGHTON DEFEAT

BREAKING NEWS: The storm clouds are gathering over Stamford Bridge again, and this time it isn’t just the fans raising their voices—it’s former Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, who has delivered a fiery verdict on the state of Enzo Maresca’s team selection. After Chelsea’s crushing defeat to Brighton, Pochettino revealed he had already warned Maresca about one particular player, branding him a “disaster waiting to happen.”

According to the Argentine, the player in question is directly responsible for Chelsea’s downfall, yet Maresca stubbornly kept him on the pitch for the full 90 minutes, ignoring all red flags. Pochettino didn’t mince words:

> “I have warned Enzo Maresca about that particular player. He refused to bench him. He keeps causing problems to the team, and he cost Chelsea their defeat yesterday against Brighton. Still, Enzo played him full time. It’s an unforgivable mistake.”

🔥 A DIG AT CHELSEA’S LEADERSHIP

This isn’t just criticism of the player—it’s a damning accusation of poor judgment from Maresca. Pochettino, who knows all too well the pressures of the Chelsea hot seat, made it clear that managers can’t afford to gamble with consistency and discipline in the Premier League. In his words, Maresca’s trust in this underperforming star is “a weakness that other teams will keep exploiting.”

🏟️ THE BRIGHTON GAME THAT EXPOSED IT ALL

Chelsea’s defeat at the Amex was more than just three points lost. It was another reminder of the club’s fragile foundation, with defensive lapses, poor decision-making, and lack of accountability dominating the headlines. The unnamed player singled out by Pochettino was reportedly at the heart of the chaos—losing possession cheaply, missing crucial tackles, and failing to track runners, leaving Chelsea exposed again and again.

Fans who witnessed the match were quick to echo Pochettino’s frustration, with many calling for Maresca to drop the player immediately before it completely derails Chelsea’s season.

⚠️ “A PLAYER WHO DOESN’T DESERVE TO START”

Pochettino’s sharpest line cut straight to the bone:

> “That is a player who doesn’t deserve to start for Chelsea.”

Strong words from a man who was once trusted to build Chelsea’s future. And while Pochettino refused to publicly name the individual, insiders close to Stamford Bridge suggest the identity is no mystery—fans already know the culprit.

💣 WHAT THIS MEANS FOR MARESCA

Maresca now faces a managerial crossroads. If he continues backing a player who has lost the trust of fans and former bosses, he risks alienating the dressing room and accelerating pressure on his job. But if he takes action and drops the player, it could signal a turning point in his reign—showing that no one is bigger than the team.

One thing is clear: Pochettino’s comments have lit the fuse under Stamford Bridge, and all eyes will now be on Chelsea’s next lineup.

The big question remains: Will Enzo Maresca finally listen—or will he continue trusting a liabi

lity that could cost him his job?
