"Caicedo is the flop of the season so far"

Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo was booed in Chelsea's 1-4 defeat against Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday after he turned down the chance to join the Reds in favour of a move to Stamford Bridge for a British record £115 million ($146 million) transfer fee in August.

The Ecuadorian midfielder has failed to make the expected impact after a brilliant season at Brighton & Hove Albion. He has yet to score or assist once in 27 competitive games for the Blues.

As a result, some football professionals such as former Rangers manager Ally McCoist have labelled him as "the flop of the season" so far along with players like Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana.

"Andre Onana has been nothing like the signing everyone thought he would be for Manchester United, but I'm not giving him 'flop of the season so far', I think that’s ever so slightly harsh," he told 'talkSPORT BET'.

"But Moises Caicedo, I saw him a couple of times, particularly at Old Trafford with Enzo Fernandez in the middle of the park, and both of them were, for a quarter of a billion pounds, not great… Caicedo would certainly get my vote over Onana. Rasmus Hojlund? No chance – Caicedo and Onana would get it ahead of him," he added.

"Football fans will always cut players a lot more slack if they are totally committed and fans can see that, and so they should do. I’ve given Hojlund a bit of stick for missing chances in the past, and it’s my job to do that, but I don’t mind the fact that he keeps getting into positions, and he has scored some good goals."
