Ian Wright believes Enzo Fernandez highlighted Chelsea’s lack of ‘togetherness’ during their defeat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
Virgil van Dijk’s extra-time winner sealed the win for Jurgen Klopp’s side at Wembley to add more misery to Chelsea’s first season under Pochettino.
Fernandez had an excellent chance to give Chelsea the lead early in the second half but the midfielder botched his backheeled attempt from six yards out instead of laying it off to Raheem Sterling or Cole Palmer, who were both free and in better shooting positions.
And Wright feels that Fernandez’s decision highlights the current disconnect in Chelsea’s squad.
‘You do look at it and you feel, we spoke about Liverpool and their togetherness, Chelsea you feel the disconnect with the fans, what’s going on upstairs, with the players, now the manager is under pressure, you just feel like there’s no togetherness,’ Wright said on The Kelly & Wrighty Show.
‘You rightly mentioned the backheel from Enzo in the box, in a final, you lay it to someone and they score a tap-in, it’s what a team does, when you’re playing for a team.
