Ben Chilwell: A possible star in the making

[lanefox]

Im glad people are finally seeing how good he is, especially for his age , his runs at the back post are going to just get better and better

[Ric Flair]

He's mustard ain't he? Proving me and many wrong every week this season.

Yeah I mean no one ever saw he was highly rated in the last few years or anything and Fuchs wasnt about a year past his best last season

didnt exactly pluck him from obscurity  

 

Like diabate....ahem

Almost like Puel came in and immediately made him a regular rather than Fuchs back up while most of the fan base insisted he was shit... Give the man some credit, Chilwell has developed brilliantly under Puel. Far cry from the man who couldn't take a throw in at Millwall because of the crowd 18 months ago

[dmayne7]

I will never get any people were writing him off. Yes he made mistakes but it was so plain to see that it was just rawness and inexperience.

It was well documented that Fuchs was the most taken of defender in the league in his last season

Dont think you need to be a Professional football manger to see it.

 

Not to mention klopp wanting Chilwell as a replacement as left back and the rave reviews he earned under Wagner

 

What was the alternative to an aging Fuchs

 

 

[SecretPro]

Lad is class. 

[Corky]

Cannot fault him this season, very impressed with his progress.

[rachhere]

Might need to edit the title of this thread... Taking the season as a whole so far, I'd say he's been our best performer. 

 

Still love Fuchs though. Going to miss that guy!

[koop.]

he is seriously good.

Him and Maguire are absolute class acts

Still needed a manager to put him in rather than persist with Fuchs, like many on this forum wanted

[Charl91]

I thought he was never going to make it.

 

I'd say he is without a doubt our best player so far this season.

[lgfualol]

Super consistent so far. Glad the club didnt dump him on loan in the championship like people wanted. Will leave for a hefty fee within the next 3 years.

[Tuna]

I agree with all of the above, I had written him off and am delighted to have been proven wrong.

 

He's improved massively, and has broken into the England team and looked comfortable.

 

He'll get better as well.

[Deeg67]

To me our best player so far this season, and it isn't especially close.

[MPH]

He reminds me of a young Andy Cole with his forward runs!

[Vardinio'sCat]

 

Rampant now, most of the mistakes are gone, and the opposition are more scared of him than vice versa.

 

 

[Ted Maul]

He's been our best player this season. No debate.

In that season, fuchs are the main lb until puel take over

 

Many fans here wished schlupp still here so can loan him out as he's not pl standart 

 

Even after puel come, he still slated so many times and many wished fuchs comeback. 

 

Even now some still wants fuchs over him

 

It's not as obvious as you said

 

[foxfanazer]

Great assist yesterday. Our player of the season so far

[brookfox]

Reaping the rewards of what sounded like a summer of getting himself fit. Credit to him as it’s added so much now he can get up and down the left for 90 minutes. It’s almost a similar transition that Bale went through.

 

Well played sir!

[Strokes]

Plenty of humble pie here, I thought he was a fanny before but he has taken his game up several notches this season. Fair play to him.

[koop.]

He is absolutely quality. 

[Manwell Pablo]

He’s been worked in well and been given time to improve, starting off as a Fuchs understudy to cementing the position for himself . Everyone involved in his development has played it perfectly from keeping him here and not loaning him out to managing game time. Not something Puel deserves full credit for but he’s certainly played his part in putting a bit of extra faith in him.

He has turned into a monster this season. I used to get excited when Mahrez got the ball, now I get excited when Chilwell gets it. 

[Bryn]

I reckon he nails down England's left back spot this season. He looks a hell of a player and he's consistent and reliable. Why try and work around Shaw's fitness and whether or not Rose is in the first team when Chilwell is outplaying them both anyway?
