Paul Merson, a Sky Sports analyst, has expressed his disappointment with Chelsea's recent performance, calling it 'cringeworthy' after their 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City. Merson criticized the team's decision to drop Enzo Fernandez, stating that it was a 'crazy' move.
He believes that Chelsea 'capitulate' when they fall behind and that the team is under immense pressure to secure a Champions League spot. Merson also discussed Tottenham's relegation crisis, stating that the team looks 'low on confidence' and that their upcoming match against Brighton is crucial. Additionally, he expressed his support for Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, stating that any talk of pressure on him is 'ridiculous' given his past achievements with the team.
