Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has expressed his doubt over the lineup picked by Blues boss Enzo Maresca ahead of the Conference League final.
Appearing as a pundit on TNT Sports, Cole said: '[Playing Trevoh] Chalobah and [Benoit} Badiashile together, I'm not a big fan of mixing it.
'Levi Colwill has come in and done well. You can't pick a Chelsea team now, the squad's so strong, you don't know who's going to start.'
However, Cole did praise Maresca for getting Chelsea into a Champions League place, which the Italian achieved thanks to a 1-0 final-day win over fellow European hopefuls Nottingham Forest.
He added: 'I think he's got the hardest job in the Premier League. He had an expectant crowd and a huge squad. I think it's been brilliant.
'There were a couple of moments when it looked like it was going off the rails and he brought it back.
His fellow pundit and former Chelsea midfielder Steve Sidwell added: 'As a player you want the truth to be told to you. For me he's [been] magnificent.'

I don't blame his selection, he was giving everyone a chance like he's been doing all this tournament, and his tactics worked.

I think Maresca is improving as a coach, he has mixed up Guardiola style unlike at the beginning of the season when he was Guardiola the second

This Chelsea coach is useless, why will he be playing Madueke on the left and Pedro Neto on the right. Despite leaving James on the bench.
