“HE’S SLOWING US DOWN”: Chelsea supporters are urging Enzo Maresca to make an immediate substitution of a specific player, as they believe his performance is disrupting the team’s flow and overall effectiveness on the pitch.
"‘He’s holding us back’: Chelsea fans are calling on Enzo Maresca to swiftly substitute a particular player."
Malo Gusto has played a significant role in back-to-back matches.
During the game against Manchester United, he started as a right-back but moved centrally to function as a secondary playmaker alongside Cole Palmer when Chelsea was in possession.
However, many Chelsea supporters believe that Gusto’s attacking contributions are insufficient, leading to calls for Marc Cucurella to replace him, a move that was already widely supported before the match began.
Will commented, “It frustrates me that Gusto keeps finding himself in crucial attacking positions but fails to deliver.” Chels HQ added,
“While Gusto hasn’t played poorly, Reece would be much more effective in that role against United.” Felix expressed, “I can’t help but picture Reece in Gusto’s position; he would pose a much greater threat.
It’s unfortunate that he either isn’t fit yet or we’re reluctant to risk it.” Pys noted, “I’m not a fan of Gusto playing on the right; we need to shift Palmer there or move James into that role and bring Cucurella on.”
Hajir urged, “Cucurella should come on for Gusto immediately; he’s hindering our progress.” CFCDaily suggested, “Maresca ought to sub Gusto now that he’s on a yellow card. If he’s bold enough, he’ll make the change.”
