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 feel it’s in all probability secure to say that maybe he’s extra suited to different leagues, proper? However even nonetheless, I feel he’s a category participant and may nonetheless have a spot on this Chelsea crew.
Proper now, he has dropped to Chelsea’s B-Workforce, however I feel that’s extra as a result of Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, and Cole Palmer are higher, or maybe extra vital to this beginning Xl than Fernandez is?
Fernandez has rather a lot to supply although, in the event you use him proper and he has keen runners on the top 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 at all times rated Fernandez, however he has been a bit hit and miss at Chelsea. Possibly 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 minimize him some slack for that?
I feel technically he’s very good. I additionally suppose he could possibly be an help king on this Chelsea facet.
I consider that if he doesn’t play league video games then he’ll ask to depart 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 have to be taking a look at methods to get him again in and ‘saving’ his Chelsea profession?
The one manner we try this proper now although, is transferring Cole Palmer to the fitting, and that proper there’s a entire different debate.
Palmer has suffered a bit centrally when he’s man-marked. So is transferring him out the fitting a superb 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 together with his passing.
I’ll be trustworthy, I’m very break up on all of this. I like Palmer within the center as a result of I feel he can dictate play and management the sport extra. However I additionally do see the shouts to maneuver him again to the fitting and may see the advantages of that as properly. Will Maresca try this? I’m not so positive.
