Chelsea fans are voicing their frustrations with Malo Gusto’s recent poor form, with many calling for the 21-year-old to be dropped in favor of promising youngster Josh Acheampong. Gusto’s struggles have been attributed by some to tactical changes by coach Enzo Maresca, who has deployed him as an inverted fullback—a role that doesn’t seem to suit his natural game.
Supporters of Gusto believe a rest could benefit both the player and the team’s morale. Some fans voiced their thoughts, with one saying, “Gusto’s errors are costing us goals and affecting his confidence. A break from the lineup is necessary. Acheampong or Caicedo at right-back would be a better option for the Ipswich match.” Another fan mentioned, “I often wish Acheampong were playing right-back to carry the ball forward and create opportunities instead of Gusto’s awkward situations.”
Others echoed the sentiment that Acheampong should start, with one fan urging, “Josh Acheampong must start against Ipswich. It’s a change Enzo Maresca needs to make.”
Acheampong’s composure and confidence at a young age have also been praised, with some fans eager to see him play in the Premier League. As Chelsea prepares to face Ipswich, fans are anxiously waiting to see if Acheampong will make his debut.
