Key trio! How emerging midfield trio are finally gelling with Enzo dropping deeper

Some football writers take advantage of the international break to create lengthier, more detailed pieces. We especially liked Athletic’s lengthy piece on Chelsea’s midfield, which was published today.

It describes in depth how the combination of Moises Caicedo, Conor Gallagher, and Enzo Fernandez is beginning to gel. It also includes a ton of beautiful graphs and pictures that highlight their recent victories over Burnley and Fulham.

We would add to what they’ve mentioned that Cole Palmer’s inclusion to the offensive line was a crucial component of this. Enzo was allowed to play deeper once more as a result, and as the screenshots in the article demonstrate, Chelsea was able to have a spare player with excellent passing skills who could receive passes from the goalkeeper and defenders.

When Chelsea loses, he has alternatives and protection from Caicedo and Fernandez on either side of him, while Enzo works his magic in the middle. Everything is fitting together well.
