Chilwell

[dmayne7]

Was the standout player until the goal then dipped. Bright light from tonight

[lgfualol]

Kinda puts a damper on his first goal that we were royally ****ed tonight. 

 

Happy for him though, shows signs of inexperience but could be very good in the future.

[Ric Flair]

Still a very strange player. I like him at left wingback but defensively in that position he can be naive. He's got the potential though to be unbelievable, I worry we aren't savvy enough as a club to get him to that level though. 

[Dr The Singh]

Needs regular footbAll and work on his defensive side of the game.  Could turn out to be a gem

[Winsum]

Great going forward but cannot defend

Needs to go out on loan and get battered and bruised, he looks too clean cut and his hair looks far too well conditioned

Only player to come out with any credit tonight. We've got a gem on our hands if coached correctly.

Hahaha I'm not sure another loan move is necessarily what he needs. He needs to somehow push and be first choice with us. He's exactly the sort of player who will fit in to a possession based team in this 3-4-1-2 craze that's happening in football. The kick and rush style of football we play seems to leave him mightily exposed and that might be what puts our management off selecting him ahead of Fuchs.

Not seen enough of him defensively, but not particularly seen him at fault for things when the team has been in a balanced situation. 

 

But, if we played with 3 across the back and wingbacks - what a player he could become.

Spot on... you can see why Liverpool were interested in him, he'd fit in nicely with what they do. 

 

Think 3 at the back could work for us with Fuchs at left centre half... give us a nicely cultured left flank, Albrighton the other wingback. 

 

But thats something to consider in pre-season when we know what pieces of a puzzle we have.

[VLC86]

He played very well offensively but defensively he needs someone like Danny Simpson to pull him to one side and help him out.

 

You don't try and chip the ball over an attacker on the half way line and you don't try fancy skills when half your team

is in the opposition box .

 

Shame his first goal will be forgotten.

[Stevosevic]

He's not a LB imo.

 

He's a wing back.

he rescued Fuchs, Benny and Simpson by racing across to cover for them several times, but he's a young player so someone needs to find a reason to say he shouldn't play

[dmayne7]

Cannot understand anyone who doesn't see his huge potential. He still makes some silly mistakes and has some lapses in concentration but that's to be expected. He needs a run of games to get that experience. Not a lot between him and Fuchs and given Chilwell can improve and help us change our style of play, I think he should be given the chances he needs.

[Kinowe Soorie]

His best game so far...

[les-tah]

He was good last night... however he is by far the worst crosser of the ball at the club. Anyone else noticed how poor he is?

Fuchs has deteriorated a lot this season and Chilwell is improving. Now is the time to let him have a run of games. Especially now we have a lot of the big teams out the way. 

 

His attacking play outweighs his defensive weaknesses which will reduce given a run of games. A special talent we need to make the most of.

Definitely, just wish he had Fuch's final ball as he ability to surge past people is top notch.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Just need to bite the bullet and play him. Fuchs has 6 months left here and we should be using him to impart as much defensive knowledge onto Chilwell while giving him game time. Hopefully with CP's record of developing youth he'll get the chance. 

[AjcW]

I guess if crossing is all he needs to work on, and to be honest he's really got all the other things needed to be a good wing back, then that's something that he can have drilled into him over time.... hopefully a bit of tutoring from Fuchs!

Signed a new contract didn't he? Thought he had longer left.

Correct - signed a new one until 2019

Runs with the ball so well, defends decent, if he could cross we'd have another attacking outlet for teams to worry about. A long time since we've been able to say that at this club with a fullback...
