Chelsea should now start Pedro Neto regularly ahead of Noni Madueke. Madueke has been very good this season but Portugese offers more in that position. Neto has already shown his worth on left flank but he can be unstoppable when used as a right winger.
Why should Chelsea boss play Neto as right winger above Madueke?
Noni Madueke has been good this season. He had an amazing start to this season under Enzo Maresca. He has already scored 4 goals in 10 Premier League games. But 3 out of those 4 goals came against Wolves in the second match day.
His last goal came in 7th match which shows that the 22 year old is still inconsistent. Madueke is still to register an assist this season. Maresca has a lot of options and hence it seems like he should try another player who provides on regular basis.
The first name that comes into mind is Pedro Neto. The Portugese has had a superb start to his Chelsea career. He has been used as left winger by Maresca but Neto can provide more while playing as a right winger.
It took only 2 minutes for Neto to make a difference against Arsenal when he was switched to right wing. He showed his worth while playing as right winger and has now justified what he can offer if used more as right winger recently while playing for Portugal.
