Enzo Maresca stated earlier within the week that Moises Caicedo at present sits on the desk of high midfielders alongside Declan Rice and Rodri.
Maresca stated within the week on Caicedo:
“He’s for positive now at that degree. Little doubt. Sadly, Rodri is injured, however Declan is enjoying. However I believe Moisés can sit at that desk with that form of midfielder.”
Rodri is at present injured, however the fact is, how Caicedo has performed up to now this season, he’s sitting on the head of this desk proper now, and that is coming from an enormous fan of Rice as you’ll all know.
I used to be very happy on the time to signal Caicedo and miss out on Rice although, regardless of wanting the latter. I absolutely believed that Caicedo was greater than an acceptable different, regardless of the gamers maybe providing differing attributes. I don’t assume that is even about disrespecting Rice or Rodri, I merely assume it’s merely about providing due reward to a participant who has been completely flawless this season and vastly constant. You don’t must disrespect different gamers to reward one other.
I additionally assume Ryan Gravenberch, who’s one other midfielder that Chelsea did truly discover across the time they signed Caicedo, deserves an enormous point out at this desk too if we’re talking about high centre midfielders within the Premier League who play in that deeper function proper now.
Once more, that is coming from somebody who charges Rice nonetheless, and each gamers have respectable rankings this season:
Caicedo has performed greater than Rice this season, and neither have been going to have one of the best attacker stats:
There isn’t an excessive amount of between the subsequent set of stats, however when it comes to tackling and intercepting, Caicedo is shining:
He’s additionally successful extra floor duels and shedding possession a lot much less:
I believe Rice has been good, however Caicedo has been higher.
Gravenberch has truly been nearer to Caicedo when it comes to general stats and rankings:
Caicedo nonetheless successful extra tackles and floor duels although:
I recognize and price all three midfielders, however the stats present that Caicedo, within the absence of Rodri, is at present sitting head of the desk!
