Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin has been complimenting Moises Caicedo this weekend after one other wonderful efficiency towards West Ham. However he’s refusing to be drawn an excessive amount of into the N’Golo Kante comparisons but.
Chelsea fans were comparing Caicedo to N’Golo Kante following his glorious show towards West Ham.
Nevertheless, Nevin doesn’t suppose he’s there but, however he was providing some compliments to the midfielder all the identical.
On Caicedo, Nevin advised talkSPORT: “He has began his sport once more. He wins issues, he’s onerous to beat, he’s not N’Golo Kante, however he’s good at killing any type of fast breaks, sure, however any time there’s a tight cross within the midfield, he’s zipping in there as properly.
“So all that type of stuff that he’s form of good at, he’s exhibiting he’s good at. He isn’t going to attain 10 screamers from outdoors the field yearly, you aren’t wanting that, you aren’t anticipating that, you didn’t pay £100 million for that.”
Proper now, the Ecuador worldwide is averaging 4.2 tackles per sport within the Premier League, which is unimaginable.
Caicedo made 8 tackles through the West Ham match, which was essentially the most within the sport.
He additionally received essentially the most duels (13) within the sport and had an 87% cross succession charge.
One other former Chelsea participant Jason Cundy had this to say on Caicedo’s efficiency on Saturday:
“I believed Caicedo was good at this time [Saturday]. You’re beginning to see why we paid a lot cash. And it’s onerous to reside as much as a £100 million-plus price ticket as a result of he’s not that participant that catches the attention.
“If you pay £100 million, you need to see like [Erling] Haaland, don’t you, Harry Kane, however truly at this time in the midst of the park, challenges, and the cross for Jackson was lovely.”
Lastly, Caicedo’s position is changing into much less and fewer ‘unsung’, and sticking with the music reference (sing, sung, unsung), Caicedo is now changing into the headline act.
Granted, he took a while to settle in at Chelsea which is pure. He was buzzing to affix our membership and you might sense that he knew how large it was to make that transfer and below such a giant price ticket. I believe that each one initially effected him a bit, simply the sheer dimension of the transfer he simply made.
However now he’s feeling extra like he belongs right here and he’s backing his means to turn out to be a vastly necessary participant for us, and he’s actually exhibiting some high quality and consistency now, which is essential.
Caicedo has been an enormous a part of our good outcomes currently. You want gamers like him to ensure we will be secure on the again in addition to devastating in assault.
I see a assured Caicedo coming collectively now and the Kante comparisons are clearly going to be there as a result of they’re each glorious at breaking apart play and intercepting. I all the time backed the signing of Caicedo, and I do suppose he can have the identical form of impact that Kante had at our membership down the road.
