Carragher said on The Overlap: Chelsea’s strong results have calmed the off-the-field talk because it just felt like Chelsea were a topic every time we were on TV. [Enzo] Maresca’s spoke quite well in the press conferences at times – he’s had difficult situations with Raheem Sterling, with how many players they had and who is going to play in each position.
There was a game recently, against Bournemouth – Chelsea were lucky to win it – but the players they were bringing on as sub, they were players who should be starting. I don’t know if further down the line that is going to be a problem, because that quality of player on the bench, can be a problem. [João] Félix, [Pedro] Neto came on, you’re thinking, ‘Wow’.
But fellow pundit Paul Scholes still thinks they need a new goalkeeper and centre-forward, he added: You look at Chelsea’s squad, there’s a lot of talent there. A little bit worried about the centre-forwards, the keeper a little bit – but you won’t be able to judge Chelsea until November, December – then we’ll get a better idea.
