4. Bakayoko can be unstoppable if he could sort out his finishing

Bakayoko was really determined to prove his worth against Manchester United especially considering that Nemanja Matic was lining up opposite him.

The Serbian really struggled to keep up with Chelsea’s midfield, but Bakayoko was a focal point for the Blues. Throughout the first half the Frenchman found himself amongst the action, carrying balls from deep and winning midfield challenges.

Unfortunately, Bakayoko’s lack of experience was evident in his decision making. Whether it was a pass or an attempt on goal, the new signing couldn’t quite execute it to the required standard. His finishing, for example, was appalling.

Nevertheless, this is certainly a net positive for Chelsea and the midfielder. Bakayoko was dominant in the match and showed great potential.
