Former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes Alejandro Garnacho showed that \u2018he isn’t adequate to be a daily starter for Chelsea\u2019 of their 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Garnacho has scored only one Premier League for Chelsea this season following his \u00a340 million move from Manchester United last summer.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old faced his former club for the primary time at Stamford Bridge as he replaced Estevao in the primary half after the Brazilian was forced off with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Garnacho struggled to get the higher of Diogo Dalot, while Chelsea struggled to interrupt down a well-organised United defence after they went ahead shortly before the break through Matheus Cunha.<\/p>\n
When asked what Garnacho showed along with his performance against United, Robinson told Stadium Astro: \u2018That he\u2019s not adequate to be a daily starter for Chelsea and Manchester United can have done some good business.<\/p>\n
\u2018I believe the season that he left Manchester United, I used to be surprised that they let him go since you take a look at his stats that season at Manchester United, he was their most creative player. You take a look at the goals he scored, the assists that he got, but anyone saw something at Manchester United that we saw tonight.<\/p>\n \u2018He was alleged to be a game changer off the bench, obviously not that early on in the sport, but for me, he runs down dead ends too persistently.<\/p>\n \u2018He gets the ball and immediately his head\u2019s down and he\u2019s gone. He\u2019s very, very one-dimensional in the way in which that he attacks. Yes, he\u2019s an attacking threat, but he\u2019s quite easy to defend against.<\/p>\n \u2018As a full-back, surely you\u2019d wish to defend against him because he\u2019s quite predictable.<\/p>\n \u2018It might be taught and that\u2019s what good coach coaches do in the event you\u2019re willing to listen.<\/p>\n \u2018It\u2019s like anything in life, in the event you keep doing the identical thing and it\u2019s not working, what do you do? You alter it.<\/p>\n \u2018He kept doing the identical thing tonight and he didn\u2019t change it. It was either a blind run at his full-back, which was so predictable, or he turns, rotates, and keeps possession into the center of the sphere.\u2019<\/p>\n For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Follow Metro Sport for the most recent news on ![\"EDITORIAL](\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SEI_293718249-385e.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=646\")
