“Should Leave in January” – Chelsea Fans Criticize 26-Year-Old Chelsea Man After Everton Draw
Disasi’s Selection Raises Questions Among Chelsea Fans
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca’s decision to start Axel Disasi in the weekend’s draw against Everton left fans divided. Many were surprised by the call, as expectations leaned towards Renato Veiga stepping in for the suspended Marc Cucurella. Instead, Malo Gusto took the left-back spot, while Disasi filled in on the right.

Disasi’s Performance: Not Terrible, But Underwhelming
While some fans were quick to harshly critique Disasi, his display wasn’t entirely disastrous. Tasked with marking the tricky Iliman Ndiaye, he managed to hold his ground for the most part.
However, one notable lapse stood out: his failure to close down the Everton attacker during the sequence that led to Jack Harrison’s chance from a cross in the second half. Beyond that, his defensive contributions were largely steady.
Chelsea’s Fullback Depth an Ongoing Concern
It’s worth noting that Disasi is naturally a center-back, and his deployment on the right flank was likely a result of limited alternatives. With Reece James sidelined due to injury, Maresca’s options in the fullback department have been stretched thin.
This predicament raises an important discussion: should Chelsea dip into the transfer market in January? Strengthening the squad with a specialized right-back could help address the imbalance and avoid forcing players into uncomfortable roles.
Fans Call for Action in January
The mixed reactions to Disasi’s performance underscore a broader issue for Chelsea—a need for reinforcements and tactical adjustments. Whether the club decides to offload Disasi or bring in fresh talent, fans are clear on one thing: improvements are necessary to avoid further setbacks.
