Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has told one of his players to ‘shoot more’ for the second time this season ahead of Tottenham tonight.
The Blues have a huge game to play in the Premier League tonight against London rivals Spurs, and the game has become even bigger now after some results in the league last night. Chelsea fans are starting to fear the worst after Newcastle and Manchester City both won last night to leapfrog them in the league standings and put The Blues down to sixth place.
However, it is very much in Chelsea’s hands right now because if they beat Spurs tonight at Stamford Bridge, then they reclaim their position in fourth place for now. A draw will put them above Newcastle in fifth place, but a defeat will leave them exactly where they are now in sixth and that will see a worrying slog ahead for the season run in. Make no mistake, tonight has now become MASSIVE for Chelsea.
In other news today, Chelsea are once again being linked with a move to sign Wolves striker Matheus Cunha in the summer, although this one seems a bit unrealistic in my view.
But it is the here and now that matters most, and will we see Jadon Sancho ‘shoot more’ tonight? Because that is what Maresca is asking of him.

Maresca says Jadon Sancho “could do better” but insists it is “not the moment” to discuss the player’s future.
When asked if he wanted to sign Sancho permanently, Maresca said: “I’m completely focused about nine games, two months to go, I’m completely focused about that. Then what happens in summer, we’ll see.
“The Jadon situation doesn’t change. In terms of numbers, he could do better, no doubt. It is not just about Jadon but we have more players in the same situation.”
And according the report putting out the quotes on The BBC, Sancho has been told to ‘shoot more’ by Maresca.
