Chelsea’s Midfield Strengths: Built for a Three-Man Engine Room.
A midfield pivot when profiled correctly provides proper defensive stability and creativity threat. However, there is great emphasis on specific profiles needed to make a pivot work, especially OOP.
Chelsea’s current midfield options - Caicedo, Fernández Andrey Santos, Lavia, Essugo and the incoming Barco are all tailor made for a 4-3-3 midfield and not a double pivot. While it also requires a gentle tweak. In Chelsea’s midfield depth you will find the following:
1. Lavia isn’t exactly elite off the ball.
2. Essugo isn’t exactly elite on the ball.
3. Santos easily gets lost in very physical games.
4. Barco can’t play with Enzo Fernandez together in the a midfield pivot.
5. Caicedo and Santos lacks the necessary creativity from deep to function optimally.
