Enzo Maresca on Chelseaโs 1-0 defeat to @Arsenal_london [A] in the Premier League:
๐ค โWe struggled a little bit at the beginning, the first 20 minutes. After that we started to control the game and create some chances.
โThe game was 50/50 in the second half. The big difference was set-piece strategy. We competed well, the game was there. They scored a set-piece, they are masters at that. It is a shame, but my feeling is that we are going in the right direction.โ

โIt makes a huge difference. The three players with the most goals for us were not on the pitch today. Itโs normal offensively we can struggle a little bit, even if until today we are the third best attack in the league.
โThat means in any case we are doing well without those players, but we can do better with the players who are injured at this moment.โ

โWhat I can say about the first game against Arsenal and todayโs game, I donโt see a big difference between us and them.
โSince I arrived, I have the feeling we are in the right path, and we are very close. Probably we just need that step forward to compete in these kind of games, but that step comes also with finishing in a Champions League spot.โ

โHe needs a scan and the scan is planned for tomorrow [Monday].โ
โI donโt think so [whether Palmer will be available for England], to be honest. His injury was from yesterdayโs session - itโs a muscle problem, so I donโt think so.
โWe donโt wish players injured but in Coleโs case [to get a break], in this moment, it will give him some rest physically and mentally. It could be good.โ
