Despite being named the Premier League's manager of the month for November, Maresca is focused on improving the team's performance after a poor start to December. He acknowledged that the team's recent results have not been what they expected, but is not concerned about it.

Maresca emphasized that football is a normal and unpredictable sport, and that the team will focus on the next match rather than dwelling on past results. He also mentioned that Everton will be a challenging opponent, particularly with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, a former Chelsea star, expected to play.

Maresca expressed confidence in Dewsbury-Hall, stating that the more he plays, the better he will become, but noted that there was strong competition for him during his time at Chelsea.
