Madueke, Sancho and Neto have all had their chance

We attempt not to let outcomes colour our impression of games excessive, however we’re only human, and we’re only football fans.But the fact that Chelsea came back to win on Sunday should not trick us into thinking the efficiency sufficed, really. There were significant improvements in the 2nd half, however that was only because we were starting from such a low base. More Stories about Jadon Sancho We all wanted Noni Madueke back in the team, but he was truly infuriatingly inefficient when again. He just lasted 45 minutes, and it was noteworthy that when Enzo Maresca was asked about the 2 half time modifications he made, he just described Reece James’ planned removal. Had he been pressed on Madueke, we’re unsure he would have had lots of positive things to say.The winger was given a 6.4 ranking by WhoScored, and even that seems quite generous.

Nicolas Jackson got a nasty 6.0 for a really inadequate 78 minute showing. We looked far much better with Tyrique George playing in his position, which is quite damning.You can blame Maresca’s methods for a lot, but we still require more from players who are supposed to be ready for

Play him out wide, play him up leading, we do not mind. He remains in much better type than most of his teammates, and leaving him out for players who have been disappointing all year is madness.
