Chelsea's manager, Enzo Maresca, has stated that everyone thought they were contenders for the Premier League title following their 1-1 draw against Arsenal last month.
The Blues took the lead against Mikel Arteta’s side, even after being reduced to 10 men in the first half.
However, Mikel Merino’s header ensured that the league leaders departed Stamford Bridge with a point.
Since that match, Chelsea's performance has declined, and they have yet to secure a victory, resulting in criticism directed at the manager.
“It’s something that, unfortunately, I cannot control [if anyone lacks full confidence in me],” Maresca told reporters.
“After the Arsenal game, everyone believed we were title contenders. A week later, everyone is expressing dissatisfaction.
“That’s football; it’s part of our profession!”
