He is still average. An average striker can be better than another average striker. Igor had a better season than Pedro. Igor won both Brentford Supporters' Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year. Importantly, he outscored Pedro.

Enzo Maresca didn't actually improve our attack tho, every attacker under him dropped. Nicholas Jackson did well under Pochettino but dropped under Maresca. Cole Palmer was the best Under Pochettino but dropped under Maresca. Joao Pedro was struggling under Maresca and picked up immediately Rosenior became a manager of Chelsea. I never rate Delap but he was good under his manager in Ipswich and became worst under Maresca. In as much as you think Maresca won is Club World cup, he didn't actually improved the team. Every Chelsea fans hail gusto under Pochettino but Maresca made every Chelsea fan want him gone. If I lie, counter me with facts

This would make sense if he hadn’t already played 8 times for Brazil with these very teammates, failed to score, struggled every game & looked way off the pace. Ancelotti called him up on 5 separate occasions to see him up close. There’s a reason he didn’t take him in the end.

We’re unironically prob the right next step for Bouaddi. — Clearer game time less pressure — Top development coach (his position) style of football — Top technical midfielders ball progression around him to take pressure off — Team where his skillset moves the needle

Pochettino and Gio Reyna’s celebrations. 🤩🇺🇸
