Former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy has criticised Jadon Sancho for relying on “easy passes,” arguing that his lack of creativity is a key contributor to Chelsea’s current slump.
In a scathing commentary, ex-Chelsea defender Jason Cundy has pointed the finger at Jadon Sancho as a major factor behind Chelsea’s recent dip in form. Speaking on talkSPORT, Cundy observed that Sancho, rather than taking on defenders and creating meaningful chances, consistently opts for an “easy pass,” which undermines the team’s attacking threat. He lamented that Chelsea’s lack of innovation and dynamism in the final third is partly due to Sancho’s inability to deliver a consistent performance week in, week out. Cundy’s remarks come amid broader concerns over Chelsea’s winter transfer window, which saw minimal signings and a heavy reliance on loan deals, leaving the squad lacking depth and creativity. He emphasised that the club’s current strategy, which has not effectively addressed these issues, is a significant part of why the team is struggling to regain its earlier form.
