Maresca needs to improve Chelsea's XI (aerial dominance at right centre half, physicality in midfield, and reliability in attack in terms of work ethic). There is no denying that Sancho/Madueke/Felix/Nkunku are top players but unsure on their defensive behaviours & reliability..
So, on top of having to make improvements to the first XI, Maresca and Chelsea may have to replace already good players with similarly good players which won't necessarily raise the level so much. It will help standards, culture, etc, but not so much in terms of quality.
The reason I tweet this is because it makes me think that maybe Maresca and Chelsea are not as close as we think to challenging at the top end of the Premier League. Still lots of work to be done in terms of cleaning up the squad, improving the XI. Lots of good business needed.
