#2 Gonzalo Higuain cannot continue at Chelsea

Gonzalo Higuain came into Chelsea amid much criticism. It is safe to say he has done little to prove critics wrong.

Last night, Higuain probably had his worst performance in a Chelsea shirt and will regret the clear chance he missed right at the end. Higuain was offside on uncountable occasions and did little to link-up play. What is even more astonishing is that when he did touch the ball, he turned out to be offside.

Higuain was too slow to take the half-chances that came his way, and he failed to take advantage of numerous opportunities that came his way, and that cost Chelsea big time.

Higuain had a majestic opportunity when he got one-on-one with De Gea. Instead of finishing cleanly or passing it straight to Eden Hazard who was standing completely unmarked, he decided to chip it straight onto the Spaniard. That opportunity was a perfect reflection of Higuain throughout the match, just unable to be the man for Chelsea.
