Considering he's pushed up to the edge of the box most of the time it's hardly concerning. He should never be the deepest midfielder.
Because he gets dribbled past? Odd comment.
I genuinely have no idea what you're on about. Enzo is and always has been ideally used as a box-to-box 6/8 hybrid. Curious as to how that relates to him being used wrongly as evidenced by opposition dribbles?
I agree.
Ah! I see what you're saying. And yes - I agree with you. Potter starting him next to RLC and then replacing RLC with Zakaria pretty strongly suggests that he has no idea what the feck he's doing or who the best partner is for Enzo.
Not if that eventuality has Potter in it for a prolonged period
With the way Boehly is splashing cash I doubt 12m for Jorginho would have made any difference either way. Thanks, though.

The primary problem for Chelsea is coaching. It's very easy to see on the eye but Chelsea like United of yesterday years, many fans can't detect a below par coach.
if Potter stays is because he turns things around, tough task.
That immediately draws concern about coaching and tactics.
I’d think he needs to improve on that even if he doesn’t suit a deeper role. Even next to a DM he could cause the press to break down with stats like that.
It's odd because he seemed to be quite tenacious during the WC. That was just based on the eye test though- there may be some damning stats for that too but he certainly gave the impression of having competence in the defensive side of the game.
It depends on what it is being caused by, though. Stupidity like having him as the last line of midfield, or having him paired off with extremely fast players, deserves every bit of hazing they're receiving.
If they at least held all the shares in the players. Isn't there almost always a significant portion with ex-clubs and/or "advisors"? Otherwise they would be much richer.
what does this mean?
Great players are worth the big bucks so he’s either a great player and worth it, or a good player and not worth it.
Sounds like he needs a DM to unlock him? where have I heard that before.
I’ve only watched him once or twice, but reminds me of Eriksen stylistically. Not as good yet, but he is only young.
I think it's PSG that are meant to be getting Tuchel back, not Chelsea.
He's also averaging 5.8 tackles/interceptions per match. Rodri is 3.2, Casemiro 4.5, Bruno G 3.4, Bentancur 3.6. Even Palhinha is only 5.6. Definitely suggests he's being asked to do too much so far.
Yep. In terms of game-state, he's basically played, what, 30 minutes of football with Chelsea where we weren't throwing everyone forward looking for a goal? Of course he's going to be exposed on counters - and this is compounded because Potter hasn't the foggiest idea of how to put together a cohesive side.
