Jody Morris has shared his thoughts on Chelsea's lineup for the opening match against Fulham, which is set to take place soon. He points out a significant issue with the proposed double pivot of Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, suggesting it has struggled under various managers. With pre-season results not being indicative, the upcoming friendly against Real Sociedad will be crucial for assessing player readiness. Morris notes that the effectiveness of this tactical setup remains uncertain due to limited training time with Fernandez before the season kicks off. Marco Palestra has shown promise during pre-season, garnering attention as potential breakout talent.
