While Chelsea made defensive improvements under Enzo Maresca This season, Blues still suffers from a very unbalanced defense line, with players who are not complemented.
Before the Wesley Fofan injury, he and Levi Colwill took positive steps to establish a strong partnership, a nice complementing game and providing stability, knowledge and balance on the side.
However, from Fofan’s injury, Colwill struggled with a series of different partners, who do not offer the same balance beside him, which coincided with a large drop in shape.
Recent fall of Levi Colwilla in form
Colwill has This season left 23 appearances for bluesProviding one help, contributing to four clean leaves and a total of 2,070 minutes.
The 21-year-old is great on the ball, often orchestrating the buildup from the back, but not the most attractive defensive, which was proven in the midst of his role in Brighton’s third goal last time.
Because of this, Fofana was such a good partner for Colwill, he was often an aggressor, attacking the ball and winning duels, while Colwill played more roles for cleaning, moping the danger behind the more aggressive veterans.
In recent weeks, Colwill has made some big mistakes, often harassed by opposition attackers, leading to trembling moments for Chelsea’s defense line.

When comparing Humphreys and Colwill’s basic metrics this season, you can see how a good Colwill is passing from the back, as if one of his main qualities. However, Humphreys is obviously well classified in this regard, and at the same time there are better progressive numbers and increasing defense metrics.
Humphreys is described as “unreal“In the past, analyst Nathalia Tavares when referenced by his talent and potential, and the 21-year-old is now proven in the championship this season, playing the huge part of Buryney’s record defense units-Clarets have now collected Clarets 11 consecutive clean leaves.
Although backwards, a wonderful thing, Chelsea may now be with Humphreys to add more defense qualities.
Despite the Colwill much better on the ball, Burnley’s defender could offer more bite in the background, which may have helped Maresca’s side to handle the opposition forward a little better.
Seeing like Marc Guehi and Fikayo Tomori continued their glow somewhere else after they left the bridge, maybe the Blues could live to regret another decision regarding the sale of Humphreys.
