EnglishOxide Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 Absolutely spot on If you notice King put his hand up to acknowledge that he had dropped Chilly right in it Anyone who thinks Jeff is a better left back than this lad needs to have a long hard look at themselves as trust me he is the real deal He has just played his FIRST competitive game for us. Get a hold of yourself ffs. There's no need to have a pop at Jeff or even overrate Chilwell so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been watching this lad for the last 2 years so I know what he is capable of and rest assured its a lot more than Jeff as a full back that is for sureHe defended well today but for me he is even better going forward so you ain't seen nothing yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudgerfox Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 I wonder what people would be saying if his two disastrously bad back passes had led to us conceding as they could so easily have done? Those incidents alone say he's not ready for regular first team football - certainly at premiership level. So the question is where can he best develop his potential? A: a club that knows his strengths and weaknesses, his temperament, and that will give him first team chances without over-exposing him too soon. Hopefully one with an experienced and mature seen-it-all left back who can help him learn the ropes of getting to the next stage. That's us. Anything else is greed.

MC Prussian Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 I've always been a bit weary throwing youngsters into the mix maybe a bit too early, but Chilwell is class. For a guy his age, you don't expect him to act in such a mature way on the pitch. He was very composed for most part, put in some decent crosses, showed good positioning and overall oozed more confidence when defending - as opposed to De Laet on the right. Lad's got a great future ahead of himself and I do hope he stays to become an influential part of our immediate future success(es). Well done, Ben! Well done.

GaelicFox Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 Now we can see why all the big clubs were looking to pounce ! Once he gets stronger and more experience he could be a bit special ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EverybodyDannsNow Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 This lads looks quality. We would be so silly to sell him. Keep him with us and in 4 years time I think we may have England's left back in our team. The future looks bright with him and Gray on the left hand side.

Sharpe's Fox Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 Ben should set himself a target of being a permanent fixture in the matchday squad next season and start pushing Fuchs then be in the first team the season after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royston. Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 thought he looked a little nervous most of the time and played it safe (clearing into touch or long ball) A solid performance all the same though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramadaone Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 What about Jeff? He is third choice left back in my opinion As a winger then only Mahrez is a shoe in for me and the others are all within Jeffs sights but he needs to improve The amount of work our wingers get through ( or should get through in Dyers case ) means some will be rested or injured so he should get game time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipman Out Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 The future is bright and the succession is clear Fuchs to Chilwell. That's LB sorted for next 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanguedocFox Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 What about Jeff? Ranieri sees him as a winger/wing-back, not a defender. The impressive thing about Chilwell is that he wants to be a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionheart10 Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 Fuchs is a quality left back and Chillwell will become one,Schlupp will never be a quality left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charl91 Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 The only thing which confused me was after saying in that interview that he was more suited to a passing game, he probably hoofed it more than any other player! That being said, a very solid performance; amazing performance for his age! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inckley fox Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 thought he looked a little nervous most of the time and played it safe (clearing into touch or long ball) A solid performance all the same though I think that's fair. He made some good clearances, tracked his man well for the most part and came through the game unscathed because he took a no-risks approach to defending, tending to hammer the ball into touch instead of attempting to play it when, at times, a counter could have been on the cards. He was also responsible for a couple of back-passes which could have been costly had others not been alert to the danger. It was a decent enough debut, especially for a young pro, but I saw signs that (as you'd expect) he's not quite there yet. Speaking of full backs, I thought De Laet looked very sharp. As I write, someone has just leaned over to tell me I'm wrong, and Ritchie wasn't up to much after all, but that's how I saw it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozleicester Posted 11 January 2016 Share Posted 11 January 2016 Positioning is key, and from what i saw on the stream, he was very well placed, and timed his tackles and runs etc very well. Will need to bulk up a bit but thats to be expected from a teenager, he definitly took the safe option tonight, but thats understandable i would imagine with time and confidence he would be comfortable passing it out and taking more time on the ball. thank goodness that Kasper was out and ready for that back pass from the half way line... couldve really damaged a youngster in his first game. Good first out for him and looks to have what it takes... Good luck lad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
