We asked for your views on the one thing – good or bad – related to Chelsea that nobody else is talking about.
Here are some of your comments:
Taylor: No one is talking about the problem we have in Christopher Nkunku starting on the bench each game! The guy is phenomenal and talented and needs to be playing, but he doesn’t because Palmer’s best position is at 10 and management don’t want to slow down Jackson’s development. A sacrifice needs to be made, as Nkunku needs to start either at 9 or 10.
Matthew: The thing that isn’t being spoken about is how negative our fanbase is, when we win and when we lose. Also, how the fanbase doesn’t like half of our squad and boos them when we play at home (for example: the hate for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and booing Enzo Maresca’s football). The home fans are always negative and the away fans are better than them.
James: How Nicolas Jackson is having a better start to his Chelsea career than Didier Drogba, in a worse team. He gets in great positions, works hard and fights for the cause. He will be outstanding and a great very soon.
Spike: Maresca needs to stop putting Marc Cucurella and Moises Caicedo in the team. They are so bad that they’re like two extra players for the opposition! Enzo Fernandez needs to be sold too.
Sdmn2: I wonder whether Chelsea should cash in on Reece James and sell him in January. He is both a red card risk and injury prone and is on a massive weekly wage. Malo Gusto would be a good replacement. I’d welcome your thoughts.
Anonymous: Renato Veiga‘s second half performance against Bournemouth. I thought that after a shaky first half he grew into the game and looked assured on the ball. He is relatively unknown but could be a good option in central midfield if needed. He’s pretty versatile as well.
KP: Chelsea being in the Conference League without Palmer in the squad! Didn’t we lose the away leg of the qualifying round? Maybe Todd Boehly thinks this competition is not a priority. I dread to think who might appear on the team sheet against Barrow in the Carabao!
Stevie: The fact that once the two South American youngsters join, we are going to have to make space for them. Every window we bring more and more in and then are forcing players out. This will be happening again and again. Yes, we have made small profits on several but we are going to lose big money on Mykhailo Mudryk.
