Mikel was our only player not to loose possession against Bayern. Makelele only peaked around 25-26 let's hope that's what we see in Mikel.
On the subject of Bruma and Van Aanholt, neither (in my opinion), will be able to compete with our English back four of youngsters (Bertrand, Hutch, Chalobah and Kane). Also with light to Kakuta and McEachran, though Kakuta is very good player, I can't see him making it sadly especially with De Bruyne and Marin. McEachran however we should cherish. Someone that sublime on the ball at his age is talent. Need to nurture him properly.
Varier, like your rationale of our players, sadly I only get to see CFC on TV nowadays, and rely in 2nd hand info about the fringe players.
Do you think it's time to play, say Josh and Piazon in the 1st team , and if not, anyone else?
