Following his ‘horror’ club debut, Moises Caicedo received criticism from Jamie Carragher.
On Sunday afternoon, the team travelled to West Ham, where the midfielder was named on the substitutes’ list.
However, he joined the game at the London Stadium with about 25 minutes left to go, his team losing 2-1 and facing West Ham’s 10-man lineup.
Early challenges were lost by Caicedo, and Pablo Fornals was denied by Roberto Sanchez after the Ecuadorian midfielder gave him the ball close to Chelsea’s box.
However, Caicedo was only left with himself to answer for when, in the 93rd minute, he brought down former Chelsea full-back Emerson in the area.
In order to score the penalty kick, Lucas Paqueta moved forward, giving Chelsea just one point after their first two games.
And according to Carragher, Caicedo’s debut was a “nightmare” as a result of the incident.
Carragher commented on Sky Sports, “That man Caicedo has had a bit of a nightmare since he came on you have to say.”
It’s a weak, sluggish challenge. Emerson is always aware that he will arrive earlier. Each of us did watch it!
Since coming in, “He hasn’t started great,”
