The plight of Alejandro Garnacho Chelsea is increasingly entering the realms of discussion as the young winger seeks some kind of stability at Chelsea FC.
Garnacho came in with a lot of expectation after being regarded as a rising star after leaving Manchester United FC. Nevertheless, the influence of his work has not been very strong. The 21 year old has struggled to win a regular starting position under Liam Rosenior.
Garnacho has had trouble making an impact on games, despite his flair and attacking instincts. His production in front of goal has been called into question and even his contribution in defense has also come under scrutiny. In the modern time football game, the wide players are supposed to play on both sides and this is where he seems to be failing.
The other issue is that he is not involved in important matches. Most of his appearances have been in less high-profile matches with teams such as Wrexham AFC or Charlton Athletic FC. This begs the question as to whether the manager trusts him in high-pressure matches.
Tactically, there is intense competition in the squad. The depth of the attacking of Chelsea forces Garnacho to struggle more in minutes. In the absence of regular performances, it becomes hard to replace the established players.
Nevertheless, it is possible that this stage is still included in his evolution. Adaptation is a problem that young players can have to big transfers. The stress of the expectations, along with the tactical requirements, may slow down the progress.
The big question now is whether Garnacho is able to respond. He can become a key player in case he becomes a better decision-maker and better defender.
