Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin has been complimenting Moises Caicedo this weekend after one other advantageous efficiency in opposition to West Ham. However he’s refusing to be drawn an excessive amount of into the N’Golo Kante comparisons but.
Chelsea followers have been evaluating Caicedo to N’Golo Kante following his wonderful show in opposition to West Ham.
Nevertheless, Nevin doesn’t assume he’s there but, however he was providing some compliments to the midfielder all the identical.
On Caicedo, Nevin informed talkSPORT: “He has began his sport once more. He wins issues, he’s laborious to beat, he’s not N’Golo Kante, however he’s good at killing any form of fast breaks, sure, however any time there’s a tight move within the midfield, he’s zipping in there as properly.
“So all that form of stuff that he’s sort of good at, he’s displaying he’s good at. He’s not going to attain 10 screamers from exterior the field yearly, you aren’t wanting that, you aren’t anticipating that, you didn’t pay £100 million for that.”
Proper now, the Ecuador worldwide is averaging 4.2 tackles per sport within the Premier League, which is unimaginable.
Caicedo made 8 tackles in the course of the West Ham match, which was probably the most within the sport.
He additionally received probably the most duels (13) within the sport and had an 87% move succession price.
One other former Chelsea participant Jason Cundy had this to say on Caicedo’s efficiency on Saturday:
“I assumed Caicedo was good right now [Saturday]. You might be beginning to see why we paid a lot cash. And it’s laborious to stay as much as a £100 million-plus price ticket as a result of he’s not that participant that catches the attention.
“Whenever you pay £100 million, you need to see like [Erling] Haaland, don’t you, Harry Kane, however truly right now in the course of the park, challenges, and the move for Jackson was lovely.”
Lastly, Caicedo’s function is changing into much less and fewer ‘unsung’, and sticking with the music reference (sing, sung, unsung), Caicedo is now changing into the headline act.
Granted, he took a while to settle in at Chelsea which is pure. He was buzzing to affix our membership and you can sense that he knew how huge it was to make that transfer and beneath such an enormous price ticket. I feel that each one initially effected him a bit, simply the sheer dimension of the transfer he simply made.
However now he’s feeling extra like he belongs right here and he’s backing his capacity to change into a massively vital participant for us, and he’s actually displaying some high quality and consistency now, which is vital.
Caicedo has been an enormous a part of our good outcomes these days. You want gamers like him to ensure we might be steady on the again in addition to devastating in assault.
I see a assured Caicedo coming collectively now and the Kante comparisons are clearly going to be there as a result of they’re each wonderful at breaking apart play and intercepting. I at all times backed the signing of Caicedo, and I do assume he can have the identical sort of impact that Kante had at our membership down the road.
