Because he doesn't have goals and many assists. That is how British pundits understand football. Unless you are a grafter like Henderson, Rice or to high extent Kante.
Fans always want more ,this guy does so much work on the pitch recovering the ball and progressing it anything more is just a bonus ,dont care if he doesnt score goals
Saw glimpses of a great player in real madrid and took a liking to him but now that he gets more game time in Chelsea, he's become one of my favorite midfielders
I remember a game where he was running circles against Barcelona couldn't even pronounce his name😂😂all I knew is that this guy good but he should shoot more
One of the most underrated players, what he did at Inter at 20 yrs old,, Real Madrid screwed him, now they wish they had him as his fellow country man is near the end
Kova is always track back to help out the defenders with those crucial tackles. Kova and Kante is highly needed for Chelsea defence to be more effective and functioning properly
all he needs to improve is the power/pace of his through-ball. sometimes its too fast/overpower, watch fabregas's through-ball and see the different movement of the ball
Has Chelsea not missed Kovacic? I get worried and sad when I heard some Chelsea fans sometime ago,, remove Kovacic, he doesn't score goals, play Rlc, he is better than Kovacic, and he scores goals. Now Rlc is playing, he has no assist, no goals, we are even loosing the midfield.
I think he has 5 assists this season already. He started playing a lot of through balls. Like it. Sublime on the ball as usual. Hope he scores 2 or 3 more goals, wishing for more is not realistic, unfortunately, his shot ain't great :)
No goals required from him , he should continue producing these threating through balls , key passes and Tackles . We have James , Chilwell, CHO , others and defenders can score
This guy is a beast,,,,,his works are just unnoticed because he doesn't score goals and get many assists like that,,,,,,,I would like to see a mid trio of him,rlc/Gallagher and Kante
Chelsea midfieder ranking for now 1. Kovacic 2. Mount 3. Gallagher ( loan ) 4. Ruben Loftus Cheek 5. Jorginho 6. Kante 7. Barkley 8. Gilmour ( loan ) Havertz is consider as CF now and Ziyech is RW
He’s like Zidane in terms of they are more appealing to the eye and are amazing players to watch and have snap n your team. Obviously zidane was different but you get my point
