After all the praise, Enzo Maresca must now take his medicine. For as spirited as Ipswich were in securing their first Premier League home win of the season, Chelsea were equally as culpable.
Maresca got away with making wholesale changes for their trip to Southampton, but not this time. Not when Portman Road is this ready to rattle its visitors. Not when Kieran McKenna has his players believing they can pounce on any opponents who underestimate them.
Maresca named three right backs on his bench and yet chose to use a central defender in Axel Disasi in that position on the pitch.
