You are right:

 

Kudos, Noni! Good luck on your loan.

[Special Juan 28,096]

He's the better of a bad bunch right now, at least he gives it a go unlike some

[lucio 5,418]

He’s got that dawg in him. Only 21 , could cause damage down the right with gusto potentially 

[Fernando 6,585]

That's what you get a lot of up and down with such a young team. Still we would have been better if the owner spend good on the striker department.

There's more about him not being up to scratch in the match thread. Funny for a player who's hardly been given a look in.

We an live in hope Osimhen will be that player come next season.

If we are fair game, like we are now, and anyone can attack us away and at home, then yes, perhaps Madueke can contribute with his pace and directness. In which case, we are fucked anyway.

If we regain some of our strength and opponents end up respecting us again, he will have to do things he hasn't shown he is capable of. That's why I think he is still a big question mark at this level. Can he make a career? Sure, but at this level he needs to learn to operate in tight spaces, and I haven't seen him doing that yet. His game is long; his touches are long w/ long strides. Suppose we will see.

Having a great game against Luxembourg holds no weight whatsoever. It's like having a great game against Estonia, a joke of an opponent.

Its not about the goals or assists it's his decision-making in the final third and his overall play. You can only beat who is in front of you. You should know that as a Chelsea supporter this season. Games we should have won we lost.

For me, he should come off the bench more frequently. Last night he was the only one who was driving at that weak Utd line instead of trying to play around it. Not saying he is a great player, but I much rather him come off the bench than Sterling or Mudryk (who seems to stay on the bench when he is a sub.)

I'm far from a fan (think he should've been on loan), but have to agree that considering the lack of options, he should be used more often. Mudryk's game is way too inconsistent within the same match: he makes good moves and a minute later switches off, or has a poor touch cheaply losing possession.

Sterling is a bizarre case... I don't get it. Still suspect something physical, but could be mentality -- retirement mode? bit of both perhaps?

Carney is far superior to all 3 for me atm, so he should prob be starting on the left when fully fit.

[Mário César 1,232]

so what about him? I think he is improving recently
