Chelsea midfielder having career year: Cuthbert by the numbers
Every match, there seems to be another statistic or moment where everyone in the ground has no choice but to applaud the brilliance and discipline of the current frontrunner for the Blues’ Player of the Season. She has played in every match, but one, earning a well-deserved night off during the Blues’ 8-0 thumping of Vllaznia in the Champions League. What Cuthbert does on both ends of the pitch may often go unnoticed during some matches, but if it wasn’t for the mentality that she brings into each match, who knows where this team would be at this moment in the season?
Having Cuthbert sign a new contract to stay in west London until the summer of 2025 is arguably one of the most essential moves that Todd Boehly has made since his introduction to the club. Her importance to this team shows up in the heat maps after the game and the mind-boggling statistics that she is able to produce. As the season turns to the month of December, there is no telling what eye-catching numbers she will be able to produce in a single match or when the season comes to a close. Her smile and personality make her the person she is, but when she steps on the pitch, there is a complete transformation to focusing on whatever she can do to help her team win at the end of 90 minutes.
