Garnacho has not met expectations at Chelsea. |
The win at the City Ground helped Chelsea consolidate their position in the top group. However, while the "The Blues" played confidently and effectively, Garnacho continued to disappoint and risked losing the trust of coach Enzo Maresca.
Starting on the left wing, the Argentine lasted just 45 minutes before being withdrawn in the second half. The statistics from Sofascore partly explain that decision. Garnacho had no shots or decisive passes, lost the ball 6 times, completed only one dribble and had almost no impact on the attack.
Although the passing rate reached 88% - 7/8 successful passes - but all were safe, lacking innovation. Meanwhile, on the opposite wing, Pedro Neto played well with 1 goal, 1 assist. Jamie Bynoe-Gittens replaced Garnacho and also played more innovatively. It is not difficult to see Garnacho gradually being pushed down the order of Maresca's selection.
Since joining Chelsea, the 21-year-old striker has not scored or assisted in 6 appearances in all competitions, an alarming performance for an attacking player who was expected to make a difference. Many fans have begun to question the decision to recruit him from MU and those doubts are increasingly well-founded.
Chelsea have two important games coming up against Ajax and Sunderland. If he doesn’t improve his form quickly, Garnacho could be dropped from the starting lineup, and his future at Stamford Bridge will become more uncertain than ever.
