Joe Hart believes Alejandro Garnacho was the only player who didn’t impress for Chelsea in their win against Hull City.
Chelsea advanced to the FA Cup fifth round with a 4-0 win at the MKM Stadium on Friday night, as they put in a convincing performance.
Pedro Neto stole the show with a hat-trick, whilst Estevao also got on the scoresheet, and Chelsea had the added bonus of keeping a clean sheet.
Joe Hart not impressed with Alejandro Garnacho
As expected Liam Rosenior made a number of changes to the team, and Garnacho was named in the starting line-up.
The Argentine wasted a good chance in the first half, and whilst he didn’t register a goal contribution, he put in a better level of performance than he has been recently.

Micah Richards has accused Garnacho of not doing the basics, and Hart feels the Argentine was the only Chelsea player not to impress on Friday night.
“I think Garnacho was the only one who didn’t quite shine tonight, but I think other than that, Liam Delap, we talked about he would have loved his goal, but three assists, a top night for him,” he told TNT Sports.
Garnacho has struggled for consistency since joining from Manchester United for £40m last summer, and has scored six goals in 29 appearances in all competitions.
Geovany Quenda arriving in the summer
Garnacho needs to pick his form up if he’s going to get more regular opportunities over the remainder of the season.
The competition for places is already fierce, and that’s set to increase in the summer with the arrival of Geovany Quenda from Sporting Lisbon.

The teenager is regarded as one of the biggest talents in Europe, and although he predominately plays on the right wing, he can also play on the left.
The expectation is Quenda will go straight into the first team squad and compete for minutes with Chelsea’s existing wingers.
