Former Chelsea player, Craig Burley has informed the club coach, Liam Rosenior that he cannot risk fielding Alejandro Garnacho against Arsenal in next week’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg. The Blues maintained on their great start under their new management by coming back hard in the second half of their match against West Ham on Saturday. When Rosenior’s team was dismissed at halftime due to a 2-0 deficit, they were jeered, but when Enzo Fernandez scored the game-winning goal in stoppage time, Stamford Bridge erupted with excitement.The new manager, who took over from Enzo Maresca, has now won six out of his seven games thus far. It was his decision to bring in new players during the match that transformed the game. At halftime, the Hammers had the upper hand, but the substitutions made a difference. Garnacho’s poor performance in the first half made the decision to remove him at halftime crucial.Garnacho was easily pocketed by Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who also demonstrated his poor defensive skills by contributing to goals from Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville.Burley believes Rosenior now has sufficient evidence to suggest that Garnacho should be benched when Chelsea plays the Gunners because of the team’s significant improvement in the second half.This is in spite of the fact that two weeks previously, Garnacho’s two goals enabled Chelsea to retake the match. Alejandro Garnacho is the type of player who enters the game in the 75th or 80th minute when everyone is exhausted and there is room for him to demonstrate his quickness. But as a Chelsea starter? No, no,” said Burley to ESPN FC.
