Chelsea Win Over Fulham Fails to Calm Fan Unrest

Chelsea secured a dramatic 2-1 Premier League victory over Fulham with late goals from Tyrique George and Pedro Neto, but the win failed to quell mounting unrest among fans, who called for manager Enzo Maresca's dismissal during the match. Criticism has also targeted struggling forward Nicolas Jackson as Chelsea's season continues to disappoint, with the club dropping out of the league's top five and facing a tough fight for Champions League qualification. Recent setbacks, including a Europa Conference League defeat to Legia Warsaw, have intensified scrutiny of Maresca's management, and captain Reece James has openly questioned the team’s mentality and preparation. Maresca's public disagreements with the fanbase and inability to deliver consistent results have put his future at Stamford Bridge in doubt. The team’s early-season promise has faded, leaving their Champions League hopes in jeopardy. Significant improvements are now urgently needed to reverse the downturn.
