The sample, though, is both small and hard to interpret. Against Tottenham late last year, for instance, Chelsea actually trailed 2-1 at half-time with Caicedo at right-back, before going on to win 4-3 after he was pushed into midfield. The second half at Newcastle, with James brought on at the interval to play full-back, showed a similar upturn in performance, if not the same turnaround in score.
