Enzo Maresca stated earlier within the week that Moises Caicedo presently sits on the desk of high midfielders alongside Declan Rice and Rodri.
Maresca stated within the week on Caicedo:
“He’s for positive now at that stage. Little question. Sadly, Rodri is injured, however Declan is enjoying. However I feel Moisés can sit at that desk with that sort of midfielder.”
Rodri is presently injured, however the fact is, how Caicedo has performed thus far this season, he’s sitting on the head of this desk proper now, and that is coming from an enormous fan of Rice as you’ll all know.

I totally believed that Caicedo was greater than an appropriate different, regardless of the gamers maybe providing differing attributes. I don’t suppose that is even about disrespecting Rice or Rodri, I merely suppose it’s merely about providing due reward to a participant who has been completely flawless this season and massively constant. You don’t have to disrespect different gamers to reward one other.
I additionally suppose Ryan Gravenberch, who’s one other midfielder that Chelsea did truly discover across the time they signed Caicedo, deserves an enormous point out at this desk too if we’re talking about high centre midfielders within the Premier League who play in that deeper position proper now.
Once more, that is coming from somebody who charges Rice nonetheless, and each gamers have respectable rankings this season:
Caicedo has performed greater than Rice this season, and neither had been going to have one of the best attacker stats:
There isn’t an excessive amount of between the following set of stats, however by way of tackling and intercepting, Caicedo is shining:
He’s additionally profitable extra floor duels and shedding possession a lot much less:
I feel Rice has been good, however Caicedo has been higher.
Gravenberch has truly been nearer to Caicedo by way of general stats and rankings:
Caicedo nonetheless profitable extra tackles and floor duels although:
I admire and fee all three midfielders, however the stats present that Caicedo, within the absence of Rodri, is presently sitting head of the desk!
