Chelsea won 4-1 last night but their were certainly questions surrounding the performances of some players, one of those being Axel Disasi.
I personally feel that he was really shaky on the ball and defensively he is started to get stretched more.
Benoit Badiashile for me deserves some run of games now, he brings a calmness and composure in pressure situations that Axel Disasi does not.
Of course, the best thing could be to have them as a partnership but that would mean leaving out Levi Colwill and Thiago Silva.
Yesterday, the team needed to show a level of maturity and composure when we finally took the lead but, I was disappointed that Disasi struggled to play from the back under pressure.
I rate Benoit higher and I feel he is also the better pure defender, so I would start him against Manchester City alongside one of Thiago Silva or Levi Colwill.
I don’t think it’s advisable to pair Tiago and Benoit together at the moment as both lack pace. Neither the pair of Colwil and Benoit as both are left sided centre backs. Disasi and Benoit could be a rotational pair when there’s need to rest our aged but experienced Tiago while Colwil still retain the left back in case we want both to feature. The team is in an evolutionary period at the moment, hence, the need to allow the Coach to get his balance before we start the supporters coaching class. Chelsea still have many players on the treatment table that’ll change the shape and dynamics of the team. Players like Fofana, Nkuku and many more from within and without will soon because Poch positive headache. It could be a good depth in strength for the team. Let’s trust the process and back Poch as he finds the right balance.
