𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒:

✍️ by grahambearman

STARTING XI:

Sanchez - 4.5: Clumsy in possession on multiple passes. Weak hands on the corner leading to the Wolves goal just before half. Had a better second half with a couple of saves and improved distribution.

James - 8: Calming presence when playing out of pressure. Put the ball into the danger area leading to the first goal. Good positioning and strength defensively.

Tosin - 8.5: Opened the scoring with a poacher’s finish early on. Very calm on the ball at the back striding past multiple players at times. Well positioned and strong defensively.

Chalobah [MOTM] - 8.5: Formed an excellent partnership with Tosin. Multiple key blocks and tackles throughout. Assisted the third goal with a header that would have scored. Brilliant return to the Blues.

Cucurella - 7.5: Broke the deadlock with a brilliant late run and finish. Poor on the ball in the first half, but improved in the second.

Caicedo - 7: Sets the standard for work rate until the last minute. Gave the ball away cheaply in midfield multiple times.

Dewsbury-Hall - 6.5: Provided a vital flick after a dangerous run to assist the second goal. Could have been involved more going forward. Good work rate defensively.

Palmer - 7.5: The grease in Chelsea’s engine. Crucial for transitioning the ball from defense to attack and from wing to wing. Great delivery for the third goal.

Neto - 4.5: Did not put the defence under enough pressure with his play in the final third. Poor crossing and not enough direct play to goal.

Madueke - 7: Great delivery to Dewsbury-Hall to create the second goal. Well positioned to tap home the third on the Chalobah header. Very dynamic throughout attacking Wolves players on the wings and in behind.

Jackson - 5: Never quits, but he looks lost for confidence. Unable to create any dangerous chances for himself or others. Needs a goal or a rest soon.

SUBSTITUTES:

Sancho - N/A

Disasi - N/A

Gusto - N/A

Felix - N/A

George - N/A

Enzo Maresca on Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Wolves [H] in the Premier League:

🤝 “I think in the five games where we didn’t win, the performance was always there. The problem has been in the box where we could have been a little more clinical. Tonight it was important that we won the game.

“For the first 40 mins, the team were brilliant. We scored a goal, we created chances, and then the same thing happened as in the last four or five games, where when we conceded, we lost a little bit of confidence.

“In the second half, we again controlled the game, we scored twice, we could have scored more, and we are happy with the three points.

“It is very important to win always but especially after five games without a win. It was not easy. Again, we scored first and then they drew level but the reaction was much, much better.”

🥇𝐎𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐡 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐡 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐎𝐓𝐌 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧:

“Absolutely [it is good to have him back]. He was very good and I have said already that the reason he is back is because we are sure he is going to help us and tonight he showed exactly what he is capable of doing.

“Firstly, he is a strong defender. He is quick, he can defend in behind, he can defend forward, he is aggressive, but we already knew that, which is the reason we called him back.”

🤕 𝐎𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨 𝐋𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐚’𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐳𝐨 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐳’𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬:

“Romeo is more important than Enzo. We don’t know yet how long they are going to be out. Hopefully not too long.”

Noni Madueke reveals to SkySports he spoke to former Chelsea head coach and current England boss Thomas Tuchel last week:

“We had a laugh about the [previous] game against Wolves. I told him I scored a hat-trick and he said, ‘Well, you better go and score again!’. I am happy I was able to do so.” 🤝⚽️
