Fans are funny. I keep reading theories of how hard Sancho works in the defensive phase. He is a winger ffs!

Let's give Sancho and neto a leeway and say they are midfielder. It just mean we need Palmer and Jackson to fire on all chylinder in every game.

Madueke is lazy and bad trainer, absolutely. 

We need to play Sancho and Neto 🤐🤐🤐

I don't disagree with your point but can you show stats per 90?

Quite amusing that the "non-creative" Joao Felix has better xAG numbers per 90 than any of Madueke, Neto, Sancho, and Fernandez  🙂 

 

And almost 1/3 of Mudryk's and KDH too. 

3 big chances created in 28 PL games pmsl

I probably won't take felix number seriously, he only played very little minutes.

Now is the time for the next step of the Noni master plan. Our strikers injured, time to move him up front and change him from just Noni Madueke to Noni Henry!

I think vast majority of people agree Noni is our best right winger but that doesn't mean he's good it's just best of a bad bunch. He has a lot to improve on but we can't really drop him. 

I wouldn't, I think Palmer would be our best RW if Maresca wasn't obsessed with him as a 10. I'd also start Neto over Noni tbh.

We can, we can play Palmer there ahead of him.

Well I've not included Palmer in that cause it's pretty obvious he's never going to play there under Enzo.

I think Neto is perfect as a sub with his energy. Noni rarely gets better the longer the game goes on so it also makes sense that way.

Guiu up top, Palmer on the right, Felix (before he went) or chris at atm role. 

Neto or Sancho on the left, neto or madueke as subs

There's a song in this 🤔

Noni Madueke in Europe's Top 5 Leagues:

- Progressive Carries (110): 3rd.

- Carries into the penalty area (66): 4th.

Progressive Carries by Chelsea players in the Premier League so far this season.

Madueke: 110

Palmer: 82

Neto: 79

Sancho: 68

Jackson: 41

Caicedo: 27

Fernandez: 27

This is why I laugh when fans say they hate him and want him sold. The reason why he has scored & assisted that much is because he is the only winger carrying the ball in the opposition box. At 22 we are still clearly scratching the surface, once he sorts out his finishing he is clearly a 10 league goal minimum a season player,

And no surprise the only midfielder we have that can actually effectively carry the ball forward is out injured 90% of the time.

On the whole, I'm a fan of Madueke and he is still the pick of our wingers.

But stats are not much help with a player like Noni. They might tell you so much but they won't tell you about his attitude and why at times he comes across as a right lazy f**ker. That's why some fans don't rate him or want him sold, 'cos at times he is woeful and doesn't appear to give a sh*t.

Fans base opinions on watching football matches, he looks awful even when he does score tap ins.

Love how he has been reduced to scoring tap ins. Every fan would take Neto & Sancho scoring every game, probably is they will both need to get in the box regularly for that to happen. It isn’t a skill that can be taught.

Won’t be the first player to be labelled as such; De Bruyne was also “not tracking back” under Mourinho, he also branded Salah lazy during an half time team talk, and Tuchel hauled off Hudson Odoi at half time because he wasn’t doing enough defensively. These are things that can be ironed out using the right man management skills, and with time. If he was a 24-25yr old player half assing it sure get rid off him, but a 22yr old needs to be given time.

Imagine Noni working with a proper centre-forward though. Perhaps someone like Costa who would murder his wife and run over his own granny to get a yard in front a defender to just get a shot on goal. Or one of Noni's crosses for once being met, not by a static, stationery Jackson, but by a soaring Drogba battering his way past two defenders to win an aerial ball that he smashes into the top of the net.

Hhmmm isn't it? Ooh. Suits you Sir.

Love this, take but it negates the fact Noni would actually have to be able to pick said striker out with an acurate pass... or have the ability to put it on someones head... either the entire team cant head a ball or Noni cant cross...

Or he puts the ball in the right area and the centre-forward actually runs, jumps and attacks the cross. Jackson is possibly the worst CF we have ever had in the air.

I'd argue Paul Furlong was worse with his head given his body type.

Madueke is our English version of Adama Traore/ Allen Saint Maximum, great going forward and running but an end ball that causes multiple car crashes and pile-ups. In two years, he struggles to pick out his team mates. I'd have rather had signed Willian and played him for the rest of the season and he's soon to wear a Chelsea Pensioners red jacket.

Palmer, despite having a game he needs to forget, looked more at home, more direct and dangerous, thoughtful and caused more trouble than Noni does. Noni is a bang average premiership winger. awful attitude on him as well.
