"When you think of Fernandez and Caicedo in the middle of the pitch, two players of that calibre, and the money that's been spent on both of them they're being overshadowed tonight."
"Fernandez has had an awful night, and if you look at his opposite number, Baleba has been the far better player of the two."
"Caicedo's return to his former club was particularly miserable; the Ecuadorian was at fault for Brighton's second goal, scored by Jack Hinshelwood, after losing possession in a dangerous area."
Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo were heavily criticized after Chelsea's 3-0 defeat to Brighton. The midfielders, who cost over 220 million, failed to control the game. This loss marks Chelsea's worst scoring drought since 1912, with five consecutive matches without a goal. Veteran commentator John Southall highlighted the contrast between the two expensive players and Brighton's Carlos Baleba, who excelled. Caicedo's return to Brighton was particularly disappointing, as he lost possession leading to a goal. Chelsea now sits seventh, seven points from Champions League qualification.
