I like this signing quite a bit. Very low-risk compared to others, knows what to expect against PL CBs, and never shy to get physical with them. Only caveat is he has to be here for the odd PL start, Cup striker & 60-70 min sub. We can’t go into next season with him (or Jackson) as our leading ST

It’s quite funny that Maresca is the hand-picked saviour of WinStewart, and even then he’s not shy about not rating half the players they’ve signed

The Conference League doesn't cover up that Chelsea paid £45m for Pedro Neto and his output is poor in the Premier League.
#CFC lack midfield and CB depth with a few injuries.
Joao Felix can't get on the pitch against non-promoted teams.
These were all clear in the summer.

Agree with most of the ratings here, but nail on head for the Neto signing. Had very high hopes for him when we signed him, but he’s really just been ok. Feels like we have too many of these type of players & need more difference makers on the wing.
Pedro Neto (£50m): D+
Ok, remember how Mudryk had 0.4 G+A p90 last year and I called it not great and gave it a D? Pedro Neto right now has 0.3 G+A p90. And sure, he defends better than Mudryk and turns the ball over less, but still, you want more production out of a marquee signing like him.

Good win today, especially after an international break. Was a lot more comfortable than the scoreline suggested. Cucurella’s arm & Maduekes foot kept it from being 4-1. Big game against Villa next now!

Need to make possession count in the second half, haven’t created enough. Felix feels like way too much of a passenger. I think I’d even prefer Mudryk out there.

Interesting line up to say the least. Reece is the “only injury issue” & yet we have Gusto & Neto disappearing, & Lavia can only make the bench vs 2 players that just came back from South America a few days ago. Need a big performance from Felix, otherwise leaving Nkunku out looks silly.

There are few players that epitomise the dysfunction at Chelsea better than Robert Sanchez. He's got friends in high places and that trumps actively costing the team.

Noni just looks a lot more comfortable when he can cut in, and space isn't clogged up by 2/3 teammates. I really hope Maresca starts to place his RB as an overlapping FB (fingers crossed he goes back to Reece for Leicester).

My first post here is to say that Nkunku should be given far more game time. Selling him, without him having a chance to show what he can do would be madness. Maybe he doesn’t fit in the PL, but at least let us see what he can offer first 🎈
