@Blue_London After bitching about Jorginho for years, this might be the thing I love about Enzo the most.

There are 60 players in the Premier League who have played 600+ minutes and completed 87% or their passes or more (as Fernández has). Only Alexis MacAllister and Nampalys Mendy have attempted a higher proportion of those passes while “under pressure” (defined as within the parameter of an opponent applying pressure to the player) than Fernández’s 17%. Furthermore, when passing under pressure, Fernández’s pass completion % does not vary from his overall total, a feature he shares with only Gündoğan from that same list of 60 players. Everyone else drops off to some degree. Among midfielders of any variety, nobody has played a lower proportion of their passes backwards (5%) and only Ruben Neves has played a smaller percentage of passes backwards (1% to Fernández’s 2%) in the opposition half. He’s also completing around 80% of the nine long & high-passes he’s attempting per game and showing some promise towards attempting and completing passes beyond the defensive line via throughballs

He's a talent and exactly what Chelsea needed. I get the frustration with jorghino especially when there was no creativity from elsewhere
