‘One of their worst players’… Tim Sherwood says £39m Chelsea player just isn’t good enough

Chelsea aren’t in a great place right now.

The Blues may have picked up a good result against Manchester City at the weekend, but that doesn’t take away from the fact they’re firmly mid-table in the Premier League and they haven’t been good enough this season.

A number of Chelsea’s key players have underperformed this term, and it’s been hard to pick out who has been the worst of the bunch in all honesty.

Speaking on Premier League Productions, Tim Sherwood has actually claimed that Axel Disasi is one of Chelsea’s worst players, despite the fact he thought he was a contender for Man of the Match on Saturday.

Sherwood shared his verdict on the £39m man.

“This is what you expect, a bit of quality and a bit of threat. This is Chelsea we’re talking about. That second half they just defended their box, Disasi was their best player and I think he is probably one of their worst players,” Sherwood said.

More of the same from Saturday

We can absolutely understand why Sherwood has deemed Disasi one of Chelsea’s worst players.

The Frenchman, quite simply, hasn’t settled at Stamford Bridge over the past 12 months, and he’s not looked like much of a Premier League player at all during that time.

However, at the weekend, he was as solid as we’ve seen him be in a blue shirt, and if he ca continue to play at that sort of level, he will soon shift this negative reputation he has cultivated since signing for Chelsea.

Disasi is a player who does have the ability to play well against top opposition, but putting that all together on a regular basis is another matter entirely.

Let’s hope that Saturday’s performance can be the start of a decent run of form for Disasi after a tough 12 months.
