Jamie Carragher has critically assessed Chelsea defender Maxence Lacroix's performance under Xabi Alonso.

Jamie Carragher has taken a sharp jab at Chelsea's new signing. The former Liverpool defender claims Maxence Lacroix appears uncertain in Xabi Alonso's system. The Frenchman cost the club £52 million but has yet to meet expectations.

According to the pundit, Lacroix thrived as part of a back three at Crystal Palace. However, he seems to struggle in a four-man defence combined with the demands of pressing. Carragher labelled Chelsea's entire defensive line as mediocre.

Lacroix himself stated that the team is focused on the upcoming cup tie against Liverpool. The Blues are keen to rectify their mistakes and deliver a significantly improved performance.
