Chelsea's carelessness has become evident post-title challenge, and Enzo Maresca must urgently address this to prevent minor setbacks from escalating into a crisis, as evidenced by their draw against Crystal Palace.
Despite being dominant in the first half and taking an early lead with a goal from Cole Palmer, Chelsea allowed Crystal Palace to equalize late in the game, showing a lack of killer instinct and focus.
Maresca's six changes reflect a desire to correct previous mistakes after a disappointing festive schedule, indicating that issues extend beyond just player performance, including a potential need for reinforcements in the squad.
The decision to start 18-year-old Josh Acheampong, especially with key defenders injured, suggests an intent from Maresca to evaluate youth and search for solutions amidst a tight Premier League race.
