BREAKING NEWS: “HE’S SLOWING US DOWN”: Chelsea fans are calling on Enzo Maresca to immediately substitute one particular player, feeling his performance is hindering the team’s momentum and effectiveness on the field.
For the second consecutive game, Malo Gusto has been given a significant role in Chelsea’s setup. Against Manchester United, he plays as a right-back when Chelsea are defending, but in attack, he shifts centrally, effectively acting as a second No. 10 alongside Cole Palmer.
However, many Chelsea fans feel Gusto lacks the necessary attacking skills for this role, leading to widespread calls for Marc Cucurella to replace him—an idea that was popular even before the match.
Will: “It’s frustrating seeing Gusto in our key attacking positions. He’s just not capable in the final third.”
Chels HQ: “Gusto hasn’t been bad, but if Reece James were in that role, he’d be a game-changer against United.”
Felix: “Just imagining Reece in Gusto’s positions—he’d be so much more threatening. It’s too bad he’s not fit enough yet, or they’re being cautious with him.”
Pys: “I really don’t like Gusto in that advanced pocket. We need Palmer there, or James with Cucurella brought on.”
Hajir: “Get Cucurella on for Gusto as soon as possible. He’s holding us back.”
CFCDaily: “Maresca should sub Gusto off now that he’s been booked. A bold move would be to do it immediately.”
