Moises Caicedo to Chelsea! "Official"

Away to Leeds, Away to Bournemouth and at home to Everton he will miss. Could be worse.

Week between the second and third games there as our CL game at atalanta is in between.

Goes without saying yesterdays disappointing result means we need to string together a good run of wins in the league and hope Arsenal lose Gabriel and saliba for the long term and drop points.

 
Bad error of judgement yesterday. Went in for tackle he had no need to make. But that is Caicedo - he tries to win everything and that's what makes him so good on the whole.

Cost us yesterday but he will get a good rest now and hopefully we won't miss him if Santo's plays like he has been.

 
He was an idiot today, and cost us the chance of a much needed win vs that lot.

Of course we will forgive him quickly, but for Now is advantage Rice in that debate.

For sure it would have been advantage Rice is Arsenal had won the game, but given they drew against 10 men, why should Rice get any plaudits. He was the 3rd/4th best midfielder in the game.

 
Suspended v City. Seems to be picking up cards at a rate of one yellow per game. Not convinced he is a DM; seems shackled in that role, and doesn’t help that he is partnered with Enzo. He is a Kante type player that needs to be freed up to put out fires, not playing a 2 man midfield alone.

 
Been Cuttin a frustrated figure. Are he and Cole fed up with just Maresca or this bullsh*t ownership?

 
He's been poor lately but I can't criticise him. For a long time he was the only player who always have his all and performed well bar maybe Cucu and James. I don't think it's fair to hold him up to such high standards just because he's been so insanely consistent that he' s got us used to this. He has more credit in the bank than anyone else.

 
He's having a great season but his form has dipped recently (probably down to having to carry Enzo so often).

But what is annoying me about him of late is his play-acting. Any challenge and he seems to go down and roll about, only to be up 20 seconds later. Sorry Moises, in that role, you have to be hard - please cut out all the silly stuff - it's embarrassing.

It’s pathetic and Liam should make sure that’s stamped out immediately from his game. He doesn’t need to do that so I don’t understand where this has come from. He did it in the Arsenal match when he knew he was about to get a red card.

Its the little hop up in the air whilst gripping various parts of his body and looking imploringly at the referee. So cringing

Shame the guy is just trying to even up the yellows for his team. It's tough being surrounded by morons every game.

 
Caicedo gave us a glimpse last night of what he might be like if afforded the more attack-focussed box-crashing role that Fernandez luxuriates in.

An instant upgrade basically ... as he can actually shoot properly.

I think we waste Caicedo as a holding DM.

The way Caicedo strikes the ball when shooting is beautiful.

 
By his own high standards, he looks a little sloppy right now, and really since the Arsenal game. He’s making a few desperate tackles and taking some unnecessary bookings.

Was at his best when tackling was a little more sensible and the rest of his game was being played a little simpler. He’ll find that level again soon I’m sure

This is where I understand entering the market for another CM, given Lavia and Essugo can't either be relied on yet.

Palmer, Cucurella, and Caicedo need to be managed better.

Cucurella and Caicedo have both been flogged.

 
Caicedo is knackered, he was basically a 1 man midfield under the clown and its hitting him hard now. If we had Lavia fit then we could rest him and play a Lavia/Santos midfield to get Caicedo the rest he needs.

 
This is turning into a really poor season from Caicedo. He started so well, but constantly chasing the ball like a dog is costing us so many points now. He gives away far too many fouls from nothing because he doesn't understand when to tackle and when to contain.

 
Should be benched for a few games. Trouble is we don't have any fit midfielders.

He has cost us quiet a lot this month.

Arsenal red card, semi final first leg suspension for sarcastically clapping the ref, and two points here that could very well mean the end of our CL pursuit.
