Garnacho disillusioned at Chelsea

Coach Enzo Maresca decided to use the attacking trio of Jamie Gittens, Marc Guiu and Estevao against Ajax. All three players had a hand in the goals, contributing to the "The Blues" convincing victory at Stamford Bridge.

As for Garnacho, he sat on the bench for the entire match. Previously, the Argentine midfielder started but only played 45 minutes in Chelsea's 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on October 18.

In that match, the statistics from Sofascore partly explained the decision of coach Maresca to make an early substitution. Garnacho performed poorly with no decisive shots or passes, lost the ball 6 times, only successfully completed 1 dribble, and had almost no impact on the attack.

Since joining Chelsea, the 21-year-old striker has yet to score or assist in six appearances in all competitions - an alarming performance for an attacking player expected to make a difference.

After the match against Ajax, Garnacho's position was seriously threatened by the impressive performance of Jamie Gittens. If he does not quickly improve his performance, Garnacho could be completely dropped from the first team, and his future at Stamford Bridge will become more fragile than ever.
