The double Disasi problem

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has done an excellent job since he joined the club in the summer, but one continued trend is frustrating supporters.

Axel Disasi, a giant central defender, keeps being selected to play at right-back.

The Frenchman was at fault for Omari Hutchinson's goal which clinched victory in a 2-0 win for Ipswich on Monday; while Liam Delap netted a penalty in the first half at Portman Road.

Like in his other matches at right-back, Disasi generally struggled with using the ball while on the flank and lacks the physical profile to get up and down the pitch.
