Paul Merson of Sky Sports has expressed his disappointment with Chelsea's recent performance, labeling it 'cringeworthy' after a 3-0 loss to Manchester City at home. Merson criticized the decision to drop Enzo Fernandez, calling it 'crazy' and stating that the team struggled without him. Chelsea's loss has left them in sixth place, four points behind the top five, and Merson believes that manager Liam Rosenior is under significant pressure ahead of their upcoming match against Manchester United. Merson also discussed Tottenham's relegation crisis, stating that the team looks low on confidence and may struggle to survive.
Additionally, he expressed his support for Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, stating that any talk of pressure on him is 'ridiculous' given his achievements with the team.
