World Cup draw buildup, Slot wants ‘top four’ return for Liverpool, and more – football live

Meanwhile, in modern England… Enzo Maresca has argued that a lack of experience is not an issue at Chelsea, pointing out that Tosin Adarabioyo’s age did not stop the 28-year-old defender from playing poorly during a 3-1 defeat to Leeds United on Wednesday. Maresca has the youngest team in the Premier League but he does not feel that mentality played a part in the setback at Elland Road. The head coach, who admitted that he regretted not starting Josh Acheampong against Leeds, made his case by singling out Tosin for criticism after Chelsea’s oldest player came into the XI and produced an error-strewn display in central defence.“We always talk about experience when we drop points,” Maresca said. “When we beat Barcelona, we drew against Arsenal, no one was mentioning about experienced players.
