Chelsea’s default shape under Maresca is easily identifiable and widely known - but the Italian’s ‘line of six’ is a situational tactic

Chelsea's atmosphere at Stamford Bridge is more complex subject than simply blaming those in attendance for being bad fans.

Still inside the stadium, Enzo Maresca used his post-match press conference to praise the flexibility of his side, after they had tweaked their shape to adapt to struggling Leicester fielding - shock horror - a reinforced defence away from home to one of the big boys.

Chelsea face an enormous week in their 2024/25 season with Copenhagen coming to Stamford Bridge on Thursday evening in the Conference League and then a Premier League trip to Arsenal less than 72 hour

Nobody will mind how Chelsea play against Arsenal and Tottenham if they get six points. But if you play results football and do not get the results, fans have every right to question what they are paying for.
