Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher was full of praise for Blues manager Enzo Maresca after Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Tottenham.

Carragher believes Maresca is rotating the squad pretty well, and likened him to top Premier League managers like Pep Guardiola, Arne Slot and Mikel Arteta.

“I’ll tell you a manager who can coach this, and that is Enzo Maresca. We’ve seen this a lot from Chelsea since he came in, it’s nothing new,” Carragher said on Sky Sports.

“What you see in terms of rotations is: you’ve got a central midfield player in Reece James, now part of a back three in the middle there, splitting the centre backs.

“You’ve got your right back [Malo Gusto] – at times you see it with the left back, Cucurella. He’s taking up almost right-sided attacking midfield positions. And you’ve got [Enzo] Fernandez, who spent a lot of time in the game in this [attacking] role, at times pulling wide, but he was also pulling [Joao] Palhinha onto the last line.

“Now what happens: the ball comes in to Joao Pedro, and what you’ve got now is, that’s your centre forward [deep], and your right back is your highest player on the attacking line.

“So when you talk about rotations, this is what the managers at the really top level can do. Pep Guardiola, Arne Slot, Mikel Arteta, Enzo Maresca. They can coach the rotations and the movements.”
