Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino admitted after Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Wednesday night that the Blues have missed Christopher Nkunku.
Pochettino also insisted Nkunku is ‘far from his best’ despite impressing in Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.
“The problem is that Christopher Nkunku is still far away from his best,” Pochettino told Amazon Prime.
“He is a very intelligent player. He can connect [us]. We missed this kind of playmaker.
“Nkunku can do this, but he is more of an offensive player, who is going to go forward and have space in-between the lines.
“Sometimes we missed [this]. But the combinations with Mykhailo Mudryk and Nicolas Jackson, they were good.”
How can you mention Mudryk and Nkunku in a sentence where you have that flop of yours Jackson???
