It is time for Chelsea supporters to stop acting as if Alejandro Garnacho is the worst footballer to have ever played for this club.<\/strong><\/p>\n

True, Garnacho was very underwhelming last season, especially for an attacker with so much talent and potential.<\/p>\n

\n

But he did have some good moments. In fact, one of Garnacho\u2019s performances was one of the best individual displays seen at Stamford Bridge during the 2025\/26 campaign.<\/p>\n

Alejandro Garnacho showed his potential in Arsenal defeat<\/h2>\n

Because Chelsea lost the game and it was in the Carabao Cup, Garnacho\u2019s performance against Arsenal in the first leg of the Blues\u2019 semi-final tie has been forgotten.<\/p>\n

That night, the winger scored two goals and showed what he is capable of when he does have some confidence.<\/p>\n

As per Sofascore, Garnacho completed all three of the dribbles that he attempted. One reason why Chelsea fans have been so unhappy with the 22-year-old is because of his lack of directness.<\/p>\n

Sorry, but there are WORSE players than Alejandro Garnacho at Chelsea who aren\u2019t being pushed out of the club<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

A lot of the time, he shied away from one-v-one situations, turning back and passing the ball sideways, which really frustrated Blues supporters.<\/p>\n

However, when Garnacho does run at his full-back, he is capable of beating them. Unfortunately, there was not enough of that last term, and that may have been down to him struggling for confidence.<\/p>\n

It does not really matter now. Garnacho will be leaving west London this summer. Garnacho has not been in first-team training, suggesting that he is not part of Xabi Alonso\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n

In terms of replacements, Chelsea do not appear to be close to signing anyone. Morgan Rogers is a long-term target for Chelsea, but he is still at the World Cup and is attracting strong interest from Arsenal.<\/p>\n

The likelihood is that Rogers will choose Arsenal, who are in a much better position than their London rivals.<\/p>\n

What next for Garnacho, though? Well, everything is pointing towards a move to AS Roma, where he should receive a bit more appreciation. <\/p>\n
