There’s a debate that has been brewing up this week and it surrounds our midfield.
All of us have our opinions and ideas on Enzo Fernandez, and I believe it’s in all probability secure to say that maybe he’s extra suited to different leagues, proper? However even nonetheless, I believe he’s a category participant and might nonetheless have a spot on this Chelsea group.
Proper now, he has dropped to Chelsea’s B-Workforce, however I believe that’s extra as a result of Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, and Cole Palmer are higher, or maybe extra essential to this beginning Xl than Fernandez is?
Fernandez has rather a lot to supply although, if you happen to use him proper and he has prepared runners on the tip of his passes. His imaginative and prescient is unimaginable, and he’s an actual creator in midfield, grabbing 5 assists from his final three matches performed for membership and nation, on the time of scripting this.
I’ve all the time rated Fernandez, however he has been a bit hit and miss at Chelsea. Perhaps a few of that has been all the way down to his private life points. I imply, breaking apart from your loved ones can critically impact the thoughts, and possibly we have to lower him some slack for that?
I believe technically he’s very good. I additionally assume he might be an help king on this Chelsea facet.
I imagine that if he doesn’t play league video games then he’ll ask to go away in the summertime, and who would blame him? There’s severe curiosity coming in from golf equipment already. However do Chelsea, and extra importantly Enzo Maresca, truly must be taking a look at methods to get him again in and ‘saving’ his Chelsea profession?
The one approach we try this proper now although, is shifting Cole Palmer to the correct, and that proper there’s a entire different debate.
Palmer has suffered a bit centrally when he’s man-marked. So is shifting him out the correct a great answer for that? An answer that additionally brings Fernandez again into the beginning Xl for league video games as he can then line-up within the midfield three with Lavia and Caicedo? If they begin all three then it means Enzo performs as a ten, and for me that doesn’t work; he must play deeper to have the ability to impact the sport along with his passing.
I’ll be trustworthy, I’m very cut up on all of this. I like Palmer within the center as a result of I believe he can dictate play and management the sport extra. However I additionally do see the shouts to maneuver him again to the correct and might see the advantages of that as effectively. Will Maresca try this? I’m not so positive.
