Looks like Lukaku, Werner ,Sick Note Pulisic and Kovacic are all out of this one. Here's my 2 bobs worth v's Audi this week. Kepa ( think he deserves a run again after a good display ) Chalobah Christensen Rudi ( Rest for Dave , nothing more ) Reece Jorginho RLC Chillwell CHO Havertz Mount ( Like the way Reece links with CHO, good for both of them )
Good results for us all over the place, and a well earned win at Newcastle. James and CHO both played really well, good effort from all the Team, rewarded with a nice gap at the top of the table.
…….that’s a big call with the likes of Mason Mount also coming through on the Chelsea youth conveyor belt.
I'd call it a draw so far, but they've both only just begun, with plenty more improvement into the future. Fair to say with the likes go Gallagher, Livramento, Guheri, Gilmour and others, including the impressive again RLC and CHO, there seems no end to the quality of the youngsters coming from the Academy.
Great result at which is always a dodgy trip for us. Watched the City palace game afterwards,can't wait to see Conor Gallager with a blue shirt on,work rate and talent off the scale.
He's playing really well under Viera, who has made quite a difference to Palace. With Gallagher and Gilmour and RLC, think we look OK for midfielders all with something different to offer. Letting Livramento go might be a really bad mistake, he looks very impressive.
Mount isn't as good as Reece James for me. Reece has the potential to be the best in his position in world football.
You should also include Tariq Lamptey into this discussion and Fikayo Tomoroi. Both of them are shining examples of what an exellent youth development we have, but the truth is, we can't keep all of them. Connor Gallagher is a fantastic player, box to box, fights for every ball with an eye for a pass and a coaches dream and surely destined for a career at the top table, Lamptey is an amazing forward thinking player has real speed that compensates for his defensive mistakes, I hasten to call them mistakes because it's normally his team mates that let him down. In the past we could mention Debruynne Yes that was a mistake probably the bigest since buying Bakayoko but this is, in my lifetime potentially the best Chelsea team ever, and I say that having witnessed Lampard and Drogba, Osgood and Hutchinson, Dixon and Speedie, well that one is slightly over doing it but lets not cry over spilt milk, I watched Liveramento tonight he looked good but not in the same league as James or any of our other right/wing back options, depth of our squad... Nay quality of our squad will define where we finish TT knows this and so do we.,
……whatever, but they’re probably set to be the best England national players to be produced by Chelsea since the Jimmy Greaves era. Let’s hope they don’t bugger off like Jimmy Greaves to play for the Spuds.
