Marc Cucurella\u2019s left wing showing was worth of praise \u2013 but Chelsea need to make sure they don\u2019t need him there again.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n If you enjoy Chelsea News coverage and want to see more of it, add us as a preferred source on Google to make us a favourite and see more of our content.<\/em><\/p>\n Cerys Jones\u2019 piece for the Athletic this morning was all about Marc Cucurella and his performance for the Blues against Liverpool at the weekend.<\/p>\n With all of our left wing options our injured or otherwise unavailable, the Spaniard valiantly took up the last of being out outlet down that side and did really well. It was a handy solution, but not one we want to see regularly.<\/p>\n As Jones points out, that position has to be a priority in the summer. But it\u2019s not just about signing better wingers than the ones they already have \u2013 it\u2019s about signing players who, like Cucurella, can stay fit through the physical challenges of a Premier League season, and can also step up to help the team out in multiple positions when needed.<\/p>\n \u201cThis summer, they need to focus on creating a more robust and adaptable squad \u2014 not a larger one,\u201d she wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n Too right.
