Caicedo now the number one most valuable DMF in the world on T-Markt 🤩

I targeted Jr Kroupi for ages
his first EPL start today

He is not world class, but the flack he got on here was OTT. The amount of times I see people called him 'Badiashite' and names like that was not nice, but he has been brilliant for the past 2 games. When he first joined, he was actually really solid but then got hampered with injuries, however I really like his composure on the ball and his ability to pass between the lines. Decent amount of pace too. Hopefully his injury was just a knock and he is back after the international break, as he deserves his spot on the team.

Think he needs a run of games, seems he doesn’t have the managers trust as much as Colwill, Fofana and Tosin do but only one way to earn it: performances like that.
In a good place going into the international break but can’t let this be a passing moment, need to kick on and win the next few games. And play more to the standard shown in this game.
Next 4 games in October (PL, CL & cup) should all be very much winnable before what will be a tough match against Spurs in November. Then after that, 3 more games we should be winning before playing Barcelona & Arsenal at the end of November. Cant afford to not win these games outside of Spurs, Barca & Arsenal.

A lot of our key players are missing this next international break. For many it's not even injuries but given additional days off after CWC. For sure there are deals with national teams after all it's in everyone's interest to have rested players. Caicedo, Santos, Pedro also didn't travel overseas for friendly games which is great news. Enzo is going to USA but don't forget he skipped international break in September. 
Only Jorgensen, Cucurella, Gusto, Enzo, Estevao, Neto are on international break plus U21 players Gittens, Acheampong and George. 
For Nottingham away next game early kick off Saturday after international break we can put very decent team from players that stayed in Cobham and had offs.
Sanchez, James, Chalobah or Fofana, Badiashile, Hato, Caicedo, Lavia, Santos or Buonanotte, Palmer, Garnacho and Pedro. 

already confirmed he will miss no games
same for Josh Acheampong

this!
if not for injuries (a HUGE problem) he is a near WC player

Salah could do nothing against Cucu.  Caicedo absolutely world class.  Estevao starboy delivers.  And last but not least Lavia looked incredible for basically not playing in forever.  Need to somehow keep that kid fit 

great win!!!!
especially with no CBs for a good chunk

Credit to Maresca today. He gets a lot of stick for his decision making, sometimes rightly so. Today he got it spot on from the get go and that should also be recognised. 
Can't wait to see more of Estevao, he looked dangerous from the minute he came on. What a player he is going to be. 

WHAT A PERFORMANCE FROM THIS GUY

Gives me Christensen vs Man City 2021 CL finale vibes

Well done to Caicedo, and well done James too.
Started at RB and done well at CB.
The passing out from the back was fantastic. Wouldn't mind seeing him in CB position in more games.

@King Kante a few months down the line... what is your opinion on Caicedo now? I think he is getting better and better. I am hoping to hear you have done a complete 360 and accept he is world class.

Only Rodri for City in the treble winning season can come close to the levels Caicedo is performing at. The best midfielder in the world at the moment imo

It is an example of Moises Caicedo's humility that he is more comfortable with saying he is the best table tennis player around, rather than saying he is the best midfielder around.
The 23-year-old ended the debate around his £115m fee from Brighton in a season when he started every Premier League game for Chelsea, played more minutes than anyone else and is now regarded as one of the club's star players alongside Cole Palmer.
The Ecuador midfielder also won both Chelsea's Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year awards.
When asked if he is among the best in the world in his position, Caicedo replied: "I don't think that. I am working on that. I want to become one of the best midfielders in the world but I am too far right now.
"I am working hard every day and want to show it on the pitch."

Worth every penny. How lucky are we to have him after Kante?
