“Unplayable at times” – Crouch hails Chelsea ace for Everton performance, claims he “can do it against anyone” | OneFootball

Peter Crouch has claimed Noni Madueke can be “unplayable” at times as he hailed the winger’s performance against Everton.

Chelsea made it back to back wins in the Premier League as they secured a narrow 1-0 against the Toffees at Stamford Bridge on Saturday lunchtime.

Nicolas Jackson scored the only goal of the game with a brilliant strike, his first goal since December to keep Chelsea’s Champions League hopes alive.

Chelsea put in one of their better performances, and it’s hard to think of anyone who had a bad game, which hasn’t been the case over the second half of the season.

Crouch was impressed by the England international and praised him at full time, claiming he’s “unplayable” at times.

“I just feel like he can be unplayable at times,” he told TNT Sports.

“I think he can do it against anyone, for [Nathan] Patterson’s only second start of the season, it was a difficult one.

“He’s probably more comfortable on the right-hand side, but I don’t think it really matters which side he plays. I think maybe when he comes inside, the finishing could potentially be better on the other side.

“He showed that he can easily play there or anywhere across the front.”

Madueke has predominantly played on the right this season, but the fact he was effective on the left is a real boost for Enzo Maresca and Chelsea.
