Didn't stand out but looks very comfortable at that level, no errors, some good runs forward and one delightful ball into the box that ought to have been used better. I think he might be first choice. I'm optimistic that he was subbed last night because he's starting on Sunday.
sylofox Posted 16 November 2018 Posted 16 November 2018 Out playing pool last nite so could not watch it in full. But both pool teams talking about how good he's been since he came in. General opinions seem to be its his place to lose now.

LCCFox96 Posted 16 November 2018 Posted 16 November 2018 Great to see Chilwell kick on from the last international break and further stake his claim to be first choice left back. Given he has 4 caps to his name, he looks very comfortable and assured on the international stage He's every right to be picked above Shaw in the current squad so hopefully he starts again against Croatia
Phube Posted 16 November 2018 Posted 16 November 2018 Well according to some chap (interviewer) on 5live he expects 9 changes on Sunday; with only Pickford and Chilly keeping their spaces!

Don't forget that Chilwell went to Thailand and has gone through the emotional trauma like the rest of us. It would be silly to keep playing him when the Croatia game is huge and the USA game was done and dusted by half time.
Guest Col city fan Posted 16 November 2018 Posted 16 November 2018 It’s looking like we may well have the best left back in the country on our books! Or definitely up there... He’s come on a bundle...

vardy-laa Posted 16 November 2018 Posted 16 November 2018 Chilwell is definitely the best English fullback atm. Croatia match a big test for him.

Clever tw@ yes we did in a cup game. Second in the prem to fourth in div 3 we never stood a chance but you should have heard them bitching because they didn't smash us
smitha Posted 18 November 2018 Posted 18 November 2018 Starts again made the spot his own, so pleased for him.

sylofox Posted 18 November 2018 Posted 18 November 2018 His place to lose it seems. But the way he's playing it will take an injury. Fingers crossed that don't happen.
Woodsey1727 Posted 18 November 2018 Posted 18 November 2018 I have to admit that Puel must take some credit for this as he always seems to do well when developing young players, but of course it is Chilwell putting the most of the effort in to better himself

ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 18 November 2018 Posted 18 November 2018 Anyone else getting worried about how these performances might be drawing attention from some big teams?

Tbh if he hadn’t got the assist he probably wouldn’t have been highlighted today. Steady game but nothing spectacular and some shocking set plays before the goal.

As you said, he was average today but his progression from last season must have attracted a fair bit of attention.
VLC86 Posted 18 November 2018 Posted 18 November 2018 He blocked me on Twitter for saying he’s doping but am I wrong? How did he become this good over the summer?
StriderHiryu Posted 18 November 2018 Posted 18 November 2018 Good performance, but I think he should take on his man more often! He has the skill to beat them and for us he doesn't cut back in and play it backwards nearly as much. I also think the other England team players need to play it to him more often. Rashford in particular declined the give and go or to play Chilwell in many times. It's not a contest Marcus, you win and lose together as a team!
Phube Posted 18 November 2018 Posted 18 November 2018 It’s quite funny, for some reason there are some bitter Man U and Liverpool fans on Twitter who seem to hate Chilwell because their LB’s are 100x better!

Liverpool fans have an argument with Robertson. Anyone putting Shaw ahead of him at present must be nuts.
