Chelsea have solely gained one among their final 8 Premier League matches after being held to a draw by relegation strugglers Nottingham Forest on New Years Day.
The entire staff as soon as once more have been poor, and it took us all proper again to the horrible run of video games Chelsea had earlier than the World Cup break.
As I say, no one performed nicely, however after having to look at on from the bench once more of late, Trevoh Chalobah might be feeling like he deserves to get the nod within the subsequent recreation, and he could be completely appropriate to be considering that manner. For me, Kalidou Koulibaly should be dropped.
We regularly see it, gamers arriving to play soccer within the Premier League for the primary time coming from a distinct league, they usually wrestle.
I wasn’t anticipating although, when Chelsea signed Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli in the summertime, for him to hitch a protracted listing of gamers we are able to place within the above class.
Kalidou Koulibaly
He arrived right here as a confirmed world class defender with expertise and high quality. I don’t assume anybody can doubt that assertion, proper? It’s simple to take a seat right here and say Chelsea made a mistake shopping for him in the summertime. However I don’t assume anybody was complaining on the time?
His performances for Chelsea to date although, have been under common, and he was completely terrorised by Taiwo Awoniyi of Nottingham Forest final night time, who left the Metropolis Floor having owned the skilled centre again.
He was leaping in to tackles too early, over committing, and simply bypassed time and time once more. His lack of tempo on the flip is a priority. He has lacked confidence and simply regarded half the participant he was at Napoli.
Personally, if I’m Trevoh Chalobah proper now, I’m feeling totally aggrieved that I’m not enjoying. I’ll be shocked if Koulibaly begins the subsequent recreation. To be sincere although, it does show why we do must signal new centre backs on the membership, and/or convey Levi Colwill again.
None of us really know what the issues are with Koulibaly. Enjoying devils advocate maybe he simply is battling confidence in a brand new league. Confidence points can actually change a participant.
Maybe he’ll simply take a while to settle into the environment and the brand new league, it’s completely possible that that is the case. Let’s hope it’s simply that and he steps up much more in coming video games.
Chalobah needs to be rewarded with a begin within the subsequent recreation, and I’m certain he’ll step up if he does.
