Dissatisfied with being substituted! Garnacho was sulking on the bench. Chelsea fans had mixed attitudes

In the 10th round of the Premier League, Chelsea defeated Tottenham 1-0 away from home and won the London derby. In this campaign, Maresca replaced the starting left winger Ganaccio with Gittens in the 66th minute. The latter seemed very unhappy about this and sat on the bench getting emotional. His actions also sparked heated discussions after the game. Some fans criticized Ganaccio's selfish behavior, but some Chelsea fans expressed understanding that Ganaccio deserved longer playing time.

Since joining from Manchester United in the summer window, the Argentinian has won the Premier League start for Chelsea for the fourth consecutive game. It can be seen that Maresca still recognizes Ganaccio's strength. He just opened his goal account for the Blues against Sunderland last weekend. Facing Tottenham in this game, he still served as the left winger and performed steadily. In 66 minutes of playing time, Ganaccio created two scoring opportunities, was steady with the ball, and had a positive attitude. He received a high score of 7 points after the game.

Even so, coach Maresca still chose to replace Ganaccio with Jamie Gittens early. Since joining Chelsea, Ganaccio has never played a full 90 minutes. After walking off the court, Garnacho sat on the bench and shook his head several times, looking unhappy. The camera captured an empty seat between him and his teammates, with no one talking, triggering polarizing reactions from fans.

Some Chelsea fans criticized: "Ganacho really thinks he can play 90 minutes every game when he comes here? What is he angry about? Someone needs to remind him that this is Chelsea. Rotation is the norm. If you are not replaced, you will play poorly."

At the same time, Chelsea also stood up to support Ganaccio. They said Garnacho should not have been substituted so early. "His impact is obviously stronger than Gittens, and the substitution was too early."

In fact, Chelsea's problem is that the player positions overlap too much. At the left wing position, Garnacho and Gittens are both new summer signings this year. They both need time and performance to establish themselves in the team. In the last round of the EFL Cup, Gittens scored 3 goals alone to help Chelsea eliminate Wolves 4-3. After an outstanding cup performance, coach Maresca must reward Gittens with a certain amount of playing time to encourage the new summer signing to continue his efforts and regain his former status in the Bundesliga.

is also a new addition to the team. Head coach Maresca must master the balance and achieve a balanced outcome. In this case, Garnacho can only share the left winger's playing time with Gittens. In the end, Chelsea held on to a 1-0 score. The Blues were temporarily ranked fifth with 17 points from 10 rounds. However, Manchester City, Sunderland and other teams did not play on the weekend and may still overtake.
