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 game in a row, Malo Gusto has been assigned a key role for Chelsea. Against Manchester United, he played as a right-back defensively but moved into a central, more advanced position when Chelsea had the ball, effectively acting as a second No.10 alongside Cole Palmer.
However, many Chelsea fans feel that Gusto may not be suited for this role due to his limited attacking skills. This has led to growing calls for Marc Cucurella to be brought on, a preference that was popular even before the game began.
Some fans expressed their frustrations on social media:
Will: “Seeing Gusto in our most dangerous positions is frustrating. He just can’t deliver in the final third.”
Chels HQ: “Gusto hasn’t been bad, but if Reece were in that role, he’d cause real problems for United.”
Felix: “Imagining Reece in Gusto’s current positions is frustrating—he’d be far more dangerous. It’s a shame he isn’t fit enough yet or that we’re cautious with him.”
Pys: “I really don’t like Gusto in the right pocket. We need Palmer there, or move James and bring Cucurella on.”
Hajir: “Bring on Cucurella 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 choice would be to do it now.”
These comments reflect a general fan sentiment that Gusto isn’t delivering the desired impact in attack, prompting calls for tactical changes.
