You don't care about the fundamentals of midfield play beside forward and Hollywood passes. We have established that to be true.

A midfielder is much more than what you see. A midfielder's job is to control possession by helping his team ensure they keep the ball instead of going long all the time.

How do they do this?? It's simple, they cover a lot of ground in an effort to ensure they are always available to receive the ball even under pressure. Central midfielders with high passing volume do this a lot and hence, it becomes arguably the most important metric to judge a CM and DM.

When Sanchez received the ball from Colwill, Enzo should have opened up to receive that ball and if he did, he would have received the ball at the exact place Sanchez dropped the pass. Sanchez is blamed for not looking before dropping the pass ; he only relied on Enzo opening up to receive the pass.
Therefore, Sanchez made a mistake because Enzo let him down.

I will blame this on tired legs after the international break but this better not happen again. I only judge players based on their primary role and nothing more.

Thank you, I blame it on tired legs too. Sanchez was supposed to pass that ball to Sylva. Silva even called for the ball but he chose the middle when he wasn’t in his goal, that was stupid of Sanchez. In training, goalkeepers are taught to play the ball side ways if he is out goal post.

Ibime:
Yep he sabi run with ball till he enter box, then he go do nonsense

But his record for Brazil under 23s suggests there may be goals in him, maybe going through confidence issues

Brazil is overhyped now. If you notice since the emergence of Neymar Brazil started having unserious players. Is it a coincidence or someone dubbed as the next Pele actually affected the nation negatively. Before Neymar Brazilian players were not known for whining and sissy attitude. They weren’t known for lackadaisical attitude.

airmark:
I don't think anybody wanted Declan Rice more than I did.

Raumdeuter and his foolish crew were even mocking me that I was hyping a player that was playing for fvckin West Ham that no top club wanted.

They mocked me too. I initially preferred Rice but saw that our board don’t rate him too much before I settle for Caicedo. Caicedo is good too so..,

BlewMahn:
He's very technical and tactical so I'm surprised you're talking like this.

Palmer has been instrumental, that one isn't up for debate.

Right now u can't be shading Palmer and defending Enzo. Coming from Enzo's biggest fan

I didn’t say he hasn’t been good so far. I’m saying that guy that think people are saying Palmer is good because two penalty which is not true, he is good because of how his overs all play help the team. Of course I like Palmer as a player, he meets basic criteria of how I rate players.

Ballzproblemm:
like someone said you don't think before typing no offense.

I say make Enzo they score goals wey dem set up for am , you dey involve nkunku wey dey battle with injury.

You blamed attackers


you blamed overhauling.


you blamed international duties .


guy shun.

If he missed his chance his, other attackers did why calling out Enzo. Most CM are rarely good in scoring that’s why it is occasionally for them.

iamoyindamola:
Bellingham is english
He's marketable considering his age
He's a very good footballer
He's scoring for fun which is not his primary duty


Now tell me how madrid over payed for these qualities
His total fee was 102m
Rice 105m
Enzo 108m
Caicedo 115m

From this list only one club overpaid for 2 most expensive midfielders

And what role is Bellingham playing for Madrid and in that role what is expected from it? What’s Enzo role in Chelsea? Is he doing good so far in that role? I mean how can you be angry a midfielder didn’t score his chance but leave actual attackers like Jackson and Palmer who failed in their primary role.

iamoyindamola:
Do you think before typing at all?

So are you saying it’s only player’s ability that make their value go up?

Ballzproblemm:
now I don't understand football, is alright
carry on 😁.

Sorry but it’s what I observed from your statement, blaming a CM for attacking woes when we have attackers that missed sitters in same game is absurd. If you are complaining of Enzo not dictating the game or not shadow marking or misplacing passes( which he is doing well so far) it will make more sense.

Ballzproblemm:
Yes goalscoring is not his duty ,but I can't count how many times he has had a good set up to score yet he keeps playing rubbish.

Those goal he is Missing are costing us.

Those goals are not costing us, we don’t have attackers that actually doing their job properly is what is costing us. I believe Nkunku improve the team in terms of scoring when he is back.

Ballzproblemm:
defensive error from Wimbledon,of course it is expected of him to bury it.

What did Rice score from yesterday?

Ballzproblemm:
same penalty Enzo couldn't score against West ham 😂,that's how you called Bellingham goals tap in.

if e easy make Enzo run am

Bro you don’t understand football, Kroos, Modric and Xavi have missed penalty it doesn’t stop them from being great. We were leading two zero against an Arsenal side, we annihilate them and you think it’s only Gallagher that made it possible. They scored from individual error.

Ballzproblemm:
Enzo can't lace kroos left boot , Enzo never so anything to be compared to Kroos.


kroos they provide match winning goals and assist Enzo never smell.

Na you provide match winning goal against Wimbledon? Assist to both Felix and Havertz last season na you create am. You are the one comparing them. If someone tell you he look like you does that mean he is you?

Ballzproblemm:
Bruh we bought Enzo last year! you are talking about patience 😂palmer is even more instrumental than Enzo in our line up that's a fact

What make Palmer instrumental? Two penalty goal right and not his overall display so far.

Ballzproblemm:
now you are blaming attackers lol , same attackers ,that created sweet chance for Enzo against Burnley,I think it was Sterling and. Jackson that did it.

Enzo couldn't bury it with his lame ass shot

He will improve on that but scoring is not his primary duty, you should know better so you shouldn’t been castigating him on that. If you can’t call out Jackson, Palmer who are actually attackers, who missed chances too then why castigate a midfielder for that. Individual error and poor tactical change cost us the game. You know you had two midfielders who are not fully fit due to jet lag, you didn’t bring on a midfielder to form diamond formation and close up the game.

Ballzproblemm:
well that is Argentina,this Chelsea! we paid huge money to free him .

is time to repay that faith by being instrumental when we need winning goals

You have to be patient, chelsea overhauled the team, the players are starting to come good together hence the win so far. They actually bottled that yesterday’s game and I fault the goalkeeper and the Poch. Enzo and Caicedo had tired legs due to international break but they had to play. Ugochukwu was needed and not Madueke, I don’t know what Poch was thinking. It was individual errors and not Enzo or Caicedo. Enzo is doing everything right except shooting, which he will improve as the season progresses but i like that he is doing well in his main primary duty.

Ballzproblemm:
he needs to start creating chances, shooting from outside frequently.

dropping deep to receive ball to ease defense pressure, winning ball frequently.

we did not spend £120m to come and dictate tempo ,even jorginho can easily do that.


Enzo was meant to be a game changer the guy you rely on when match gets tough,it seems you don't know why we paid that money.

He is creating offensive chances but attackers are not doing their job right, you and I know this. Modric and Kroos don’t even have enormous assist and or goals, it didn’t stop them from being great.

Ballzproblemm:
comparing enzo to kroos is the biggest joke of the century

I compared some part his game like forward passes and controlling the game to that of Kroos. Kroos needed Casemiro. Last season ucl when he was played as CDM we all saw how he couldn’t do anything against man city. How many assist do you think Kroos has overall in his career?

Ballzproblemm:
bruh all this attribute you mentioned are useless without goal and assist,it's that simple.


last time I remembered those players you mentioned weren't bought for incredible large fees.


enzo needs to start providing assist or goals if not we wasted money on him.

And how does his price tag change their ability, nor Enzo’s fault he was bought for that price. Same player that is instrumental to Argentina’s success. His show of talent in the last World Cup increased his value. You think if Xavi was to leave Barca in his prime he won’t cost fortune as at that time.

Ballzproblemm:
It's crazy how hensben was the one shouting we must get caicedo by all means to free Enzo ,how no other DM can unlock Enzo. blah blah blah.

we bought caicedo,same old story.

Brother you should be last person to defend Enzo ,the last time I checked that was hole point of buying caicedo.

freeing Enzo to help offense,all of sudden now he is a CM?

nah I'm not buying that shit ,I went that money to be justified I don't care what you people say.

Is Enzo play not offensive so far? What are you saying? Until he starts scoring before you know he is offense like he is a winger or striker.

Ballzproblemm:
evidence number one,what changed lol 😁

Are they performing below par or improving the team, we won three games in a roll and own draw against Arsenal.

FBS:
répetez s'il-vous-plait?

Im saying his length of contract, how valued he is in his previous team and clauses inflate player’s price.

Ballzproblemm:
they overpaid yet he is delivering, can't say the same for Enzo

Delivering in his primary position right just as Enzo is doing well in his primary position. How many goals does Modric, Xavi, iniesta have their career, Are they not great. Bellingham didn’t score yesterday in Madrid’s match what will you say? Now let me interpret both role for you in their respective team. Enzo is the CM, i.e, the dictator, ball winner and possessor of the ball while Bellingham is an attacking midfielder in a diamond formation, I.e, he is required to score, put pressure upfront without the ball and assist in his primary duty, same role with Gallagher as CAM so you should be comparing Gallagher’s stat to that of Bellingham if at all, and not Enzo.

Ballzproblemm:
omo we overpaid

We overpaid doesn’t have anything to do with player’s ability. Real Madrid overpaid for bellingham too, it is the football market nowadays.

Poch messed up with his substitution. Ugochukwu for Mudryk instead of madueke. Medueke wasn’t needed in that match since we were trying to defend lead.

Amoto94:
Breaking: Mauricio Pochettino reveals that Enzo and Caicedo were not fully fit yesterday against Arsenal but joked about what the owners and everyone else would try to do if he thought about resting them. (
@NizaarKinsella
)

I noticed it too, they had fatigue and it showed. It is sad that international break happened during when we have Arsenal to play.

Ballzproblemm:
dictating game is not special,it's expected if I spent that can huge money on you , Gallagher and cucurella were the ones truly dictating that game ,not Enzo.

Dictating games is one of the strength of any good team.

Ballzproblemm:

It is the price tag that make you feel different. When Modric, Xavi n co were in his age they weren’t world beaters, his position need to be challenged to bring more from him is what you should be saying.

Ibime:
Enzo is doing too much big boy

Have zero problem with his shooting, that's not what we bought him for

But we can see he is feeling like senior man on the pitch and not putting in effort

Only sensible comments so far. When Lavia returns he should be benched for clarity sake because that haven’t start a game from bench since his breakout season.

Ballzproblemm:
I don't know what eye dey are using to football ,Enzo would have Missed that kind of goal rice scored yesterday,his shots are weak and ineffective.


we true fans are demanding for a step up to justify his huge price tag,we are haters and agenda merchant in their eyes.

Like the way he missed this.

Kimbeast:
Stop setting Pedri up for drags.

A key player that won World Cup and young player of the tournament is who that one want to compare with Pedri who is yet not ripe enough for tougher challenges.

Ballzproblemm:
mudryk don pick form we are yet to determine what Position suits Enzo best 🤐

Enzo is a CM and he is doing well, Arsenal game won’t change that.
