5) Axel Disasi (Chelsea) – 905 Passes
Either Pochettino’s expansive style of play is beginning to take shape, with the defenders also playing their part, or they are spending too long passing the ball sideways across the back four.
Considering that the Blues are 10th in the table, some pundits and fans may be leaning towards the latter interpretation at the moment.
Disasi has been picked to start matches regularly since his arrival from Monaco in the summer, so that’s why his passing numbers are so high. Pochettino has clearly taken a shine to him.
