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

Paul Merson has criticized Chelsea's performance as 'cringeworthy' after their 3-0 defeat to Manchester City at home. Merson expressed his disappointment with the team's decision to drop Enzo Fernandez, calling it 'crazy' and stating that the player's absence was deeply felt during the game. Chelsea's loss has left them sixth in the league, four points behind the top five, and Merson believes that manager Liam Rosenior is under significant pressure ahead of their upcoming game against Manchester United. Merson also discussed Tottenham's relegation crisis, stating that the team looks low on confidence and unsure of their style of play. He expressed concern for the team's ability to escape relegation, particularly with difficult games ahead. Additionally, Merson defended Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, stating that he should not be under pressure despite the team's current mid-table position, and instead, the focus should be on potential player departures.
