Many people haven’t been pleased with Enzo Fernandez’s performances this season, but with his performance against Manchester United, Chelsea fans all took note.

For the Manchester United match, Enzo Maresca started Rome Lavia and Moises Caicedo in the middle, which worked in the first half before the two were occasionally exposed in the second.

Despite his recent setbacks, Chelsea is able to leave a player of Enzo Fernandez’s caliber out of the starting lineup since they have one of the strongest squad depths in the Premier League.

Maresca made the interesting suggestion that he wouldn’t just play Fernandez because he is worth about £100 million, and he is entirely correct—players should be chosen based on their merits.

But Chelsea supporters took note of one aspect of his performance on Sunday night after he was brought on as a substitute against Manchester United.

His missed golden opportunity to put the ball over the crossbar at a crucial moment was the only thing that went against him, but Noni Madueke will also be punishing himself for the missed opportunity.

One aspect of Enzo Fernandez’s performance against Manchester United stands out to Chelsea supporters.

After Enzo Fernandez took the field, several Chelsea supporters rushed to X to express how much better their team appeared.

When he started, Enzo Fernandez was genuinely good. He took possession of the ball and tried to pass forward whenever he could. No sulking and pitying over his status as a sub. said by @Khaya__.

According to @Tresuud, “Enzo was good.” I’m not sure why this fan following constantly seeks out someone to blame and tries to undermine their self-esteem. Because he was intelligent, man sought to create opportunities. Anyone who is disparaging Enzo should stop using FT.

“Lavia was a poor friend. With Enzo on, we looked much better. If we wanted to win, Nkunku had to replace Jackson. According to @grecian1993, Fernandez improved the team.
