'That's not a good thing' - Cole Palmer comes under fire from Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca with Marc Cucurella emerging as Blues' main scorer in 2025

<p>Palmer <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/enzo-maresca-addresses-cole-palmer-s-slump-in-form-chelsea-star-s-goal-drought-continues/bltfebbc4ba8dfa74c2" target="_blank">has not scored for Chelsea</a> since his goal in the club's 2-2 draw against Bournemouth on January 14. On Thursday, the England international misfired once again as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-player-ratings-vs-legia-cole-palmer-anonymous-blues-star-barely-involved-enzo-maresca-sneak-through-home-defeat/blt980cadfb1f5da407" target="_blank">the Blues went down 2-1 against Legia Warsaw</a> in the second leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final fixture.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While the Premier League giants managed to book their last-four berth by winning the tie 4-2 on aggregate, manager Maresca expressed concern over his strikers' poor form. The West London side has seen a slump in form since the turn of the year, and much of it is attributed to the poor form of their forwards. Full-back Marc Cucurella, who scored the team's only goal on Thursday night, has emerged as Chelsea's top scorer in 2025 with four goals to his name across all competitions.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to reporters after the loss against Legia Warsaw, Maresca said: "Especially the ones that we are missing, unfortunately, are very easy goals. In the first five minutes, we had two good chances. It can happen. Hopefully, Nico and Cole can very soon start to score goals."</p><p>The Italian coach also added: "Cucu is the one scoring, and that's not a good thing. We for sure need the others."</p>

WHAT ENZO MARESCA SAID

<p>The Blues, who have registered just one win in their last four outings, will be next seen in action on Sunday as they take on Fulham at Craven Cottage in a crucial Premier League clash.</p>
