“He’s not disciplined” – ESPN Pundit names Chelsea ace that “worries him” following Brighton defeat | OneFootball

ESPN pundit Don Hutchinson has named the one Chelsea player he’s concerned about following their defeat to Brighton on Friday night.

The Blues suffered a 3-0 loss on the south coast, which meant it was two defeats in the space of a week after being dumped out of the FA Cup last weekend.

Chelsea didn’t have a single shot on target and defended terribly as they were punished by a brilliant goal from Karou Mitoma and a Yankuba Minteh brace.

Enzo Maresca’s men are now on a run of two wins in their last nine league games, and Gary Neville has called on those above the manager to come under more scrutiny.

Chelsea once again were toothless in attack and looked bereft of ideas, whilst Malo Gusto admitted Brighton had more desire to win.

Why there’s been a collective slump in form is unclear, but Maresca has got to find solutions otherwise it’s going to be a very painful end to the season.

Jason Cundy felt Tyrique George was the only positive, whilst no one else covered themselves in any glory, and Hutchinson admitted he’s really concerned about Fernandez.

“The one that worries me is Enzo Fernandez in midfield,” he told ESPN as cited on X.com.

“Sometimes I have no idea where he’s being asked to play. The minute the game starts going away from #Chelsea, he starts running all over the pitch and vacates his position. He’s not disciplined.”

Chelsea struggled in midfield against the Seagulls and Moises Caicedo was substituted in a sight rarely seen this season.

Fernandez went through a brilliant run of form after the November international break, but his form has dropped in recent weeks and like his team-mates he’s struggling to get back to his best.
