As mentioned in the previous slide, Pedro Rodriguez mostly plays on the right side of Chelsea's attack. The Spanish winger benefits a lot from Sarri's system because of his good movement and runs in behind the opposition defence.

However, the main problem with him are his injuries which don't allow him to find some consistency. He is not so young anymore, and these injuries are the real reason why Sarri should not think about Pedro as his first choice right winger.

Sarri doesn't have many options in the attack, so he has had to improvise a lot this season. So in some games, he decided to deploy Ruben Loftus-Cheek on the flanks. The young English international has shown some incredible improvement even on the wing, which is not his natural position.

He could be extremely useful for carrying the ball forward with his strength, pace, and technical qualities.

He has a good shot too, so he is quite unpredictable for defenders. If he develops well, he is going to be a great player, so Sarri should play him more.
