William Gallas is likely to be proper along with his newest Chelsea claims – Discuss Chelsea

Former Chelsea defender William Gallas has claimed that Chelsea are nonetheless lacking a real defensive midfielder within the center, which is one thing that we have now mentioned on right here as properly not too long ago.

We’ve a bunch of centre midfielders, however no specialist midfield destroyer. Moises Caicedo is the closest we have now to that, being a participant who can put a sort out in, break up play, and intercept. However he’s additionally rather more than that, and we have now seen the advantages of him having the ability to play rather more free and extra superior now when Romeo Lavia begins alongside him – that is the place you get the most effective out of him.

So would Chelsea signing a brand new defensive midfielder be the reply? Gallas believes so.

Gallas mentioned this week: “The issue is that Chelsea want a defensive midfielder to assist Moises Caicedo extra. 70% defending and 30% attacking which might make for a extra balanced crew. I don’t suppose Enzo Fernandez can play that function as a result of he has different qualities.”

Enzo can’t, neither can Lavia actually, and Caicedo as I mentioned, is the most effective we have now for that function. However does that function even go well with and match into Enzo Maresca’s fashion of play? Utilizing two deeper centre midfielders appears to work a lot better.

I used to suppose we did want a defensive midfielder added to this squad only some weeks, however I’m not solely satisfied as a result of I believe double pivot can work and be efficient too. However our defence on the entire is simply not adequate nonetheless and as I mentioned yesterday, we do lack a backbone nonetheless. Would you embody a defensive midfielder in that backbone? Tell us within the feedback.

Clearly everyone knows that there are rather more urgent priorities on this squad proper now, primarily goalkeeper, centre again, and for me, a striker.

I all the time take into consideration defensive midfielders greater than most, possibly as a result of it’s the place I play too! I believe a high defensive midfielder can actually win you a sport single-handedly and is simply as essential as a goalscorer or a creator.

Does a double pivot of Lavia and Caicedo offer you sufficient defensive stability in midfield? That’s the query.

Be at liberty to debate and debate this within the feedback too!
