Merson Slams Chelsea's 'Embarrassing' Performance Against Manchester City

Paul Merson has criticized Chelsea's lackluster display in their 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City, labeling it 'cringeworthy'. In his column, Merson expressed his disappointment with the team's decision to drop Enzo Fernandez, citing it as a 'crazy' move. He believes that Chelsea 'capitulate' when they fall behind and that the pressure is mounting on manager Liam Rosenior ahead of their upcoming match against Manchester United. Merson also discussed Tottenham's relegation struggles, stating that they looked 'lost' in their recent loss to Sunderland, and expressed concern about their ability to escape the drop. Additionally, he defended Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, saying that talk of him being under pressure is 'laughable' given his achievements with the team.
