Gary Neville, Manchester United legend and current Sky Sports pundit, had some strong words for Chelsea after their 2-2 draw with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge this past Saturday. Speaking on his podcast, Neville outlined three major areas of concern for the Blues.
First, Neville pointed out the lack of a reliable striker as an area of concern. He also raised the issue of Thiago Silva's age, as the reliable Brazilian defender is 39 years old. Finally, Neville questioned the ability of goalkeeper Robert Sanchez to step up and become a dependable starter for Chelsea.
Despite his concerns, Neville also found some bright spots for Chelsea. He praised the Blues midfield, and in particular the second-choice full-backs Marc Cucurella and Malo Gusto. His words of praise for Gusto come shortly after Arsenal legend Ian Wright criticised the youngster for not doing enough to stop Bukayo Saka's cross for the Gunners' equaliser.
Despite the draw, Chelsea have been in good form of late, with three wins in their past three matches in all competitions. With the Blues having a blueprint of what the future could be, Neville is just hoping that they can address the areas of concern to make it a reality.
