We asked you for your questions to put to Nizaar Kinsella, our senior football news reporter who is on tour with the Blues:

John asked: How long do you give Enzo Maresca? Yet again they have purchased players who are inexperienced and Championship quality at best.

Nizaar answered: Maresca has a five-year deal and Mauricio Pochettino only got two years when joining Chelsea. That seems to signal he will get time - but the club remain ambitious and are frustrated with falling short on their goals in the past two years since the ownership change.

Maresca will be up against it to improve these inexperienced players enough to qualify for the Champions League. But there is also a belief he is the right man and the contract signals that faith in him.
