Marcelsa has already alluded to changing his tactics of the game in Brighton due to NKUNKU struggles in the foreground.
France International was in bad condition and scored only one goal in 11 league games in all competitions.
He chose to move NKUNKU away from the ninth place, as he struggled in the FA Cup tie with Brighton six days ago, and switching the positions effectively with Palmer.
But the new Gameplan game was broken due to the injury of Madueke, which left Chelsea with only one player in Neto can run a successor.
As a result, he left visitors with a lot of ball – but without any real threat to the goal.
They completed 648 passes and have 69.4 % possession at the AmeX stadium, but they were unable to force the Brighton Verbergin goalkeeper to save.
Speaking after the match, Marisca BBC Sport told Marysca Sport: “It is difficult when you do not have a suitable number nine. In the last third, we struggled to do things even a week or two before we were in good condition.
“This is the worst moment since I arrived, but we are still there and we need to finish in the best way.”
It was a similar story in the FA Cup game, where the Blues dominated again to own it and complete more passes than their opponents, but on that occasion after one shot on the goal.
The best hope for Chelsea is to find a way to improve the NKUNKU level – but without damaging Palmer, which also began to decrease after disrupting his excellent partnership with Jackson.
Either way, in fact, for all the money that Marisca spends is simply options.
