Chelsea fans ‘worried’ after 23-year-old Chelsea star lost the ball 23 times in Sheffield United draw
In Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Sheffield United Sunday, not many plays stood out.
In actuality, nobody particularly stood out—that is, until Noni Madueke scored a fantastic goal.
Jason Cundy, a former Chelsea defender, believed that Mauricio Pochettino’s winger was the only member of his team who had a spark on the field.
In the end, a lot of people had a game at Bramall Lane yesterday they would rather forget.
The Blues had a good chance to close the gap on sixth-placed Manchester United, who drew with Liverpool earlier that day.
Chelsea player loses possession 23 times in Sheffield United draw
Chelsea fans would have been expecting a bit more from their midfield in the draw with Chris Wilder’s men.
The Blues spent over £100m each on Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez.
However, they were hardly dominant against a relegation-threatened Sheffield United side, which is worrying.
According to journalist Nizaar Kinsella, Fernandez actually lost the ball 23 times during the Premier League encounter.
The Argentine and his midfield partner are going to have to do much better when Chelsea take on Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals later this month.
Enzo Fernandez also lost possession 23 times today, won just one of his 10 duels and had less than 80 percent passing accuracy. https://t.co/KmeTpDLfYA
