Koke 7,133 Posted 1 September 2018 Report Share Posted 1 September 2018 Didn't even notice Salah today, apart from his glaring miss in the 5th minute. Chilwell is turning into some player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cardiff_Fox 6,055 Posted 1 September 2018 Report Share Posted 1 September 2018 Odd really Salah barely gets a touch. But there was that utterly bizarre moment when he went with the runner rather than look after the player with the ball 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StriderHiryu 16,742 Posted 1 September 2018 Report Share Posted 1 September 2018 Not as good as previous games but still decent / good in my eyes. We saw the sublime, when he won it at left back and went on an incredible run where he ended up at right wing (!) but also the silly where prior to their second goal he left Salah totally alone which led to trouble.

drofmor55 119 Posted 2 September 2018 Report Share Posted 2 September 2018 Too lightweight for me..great with the ball at his feet but needs to toughen up. There was a chance he could have blocked Liverpool's first goal but he just stayed on his feet (maybe because he would have had to have used his right foot !)..compare this with the way Gomez blocked Maddison's effort on goal.

Although quite naive of him to do so Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WigstonWanderer 2,247 Posted 9 September 2018 Report Share Posted 9 September 2018 Great attitude. Hopefully him, Gray and Maddison will push each other on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fox_favourite 443 Posted 9 September 2018 Report Share Posted 9 September 2018 I just hope he's learning all he can from Fuchs about the defensive side of his game while he can. For me, that still needs work before he can even be considered for international level. Definitely a work in progress, but playing week in week out will aid in his development and confidence. Still think Fuchs is better overall technically, but chilwell has age on his side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paddy. 13,895 Posted 9 September 2018 Report Share Posted 9 September 2018 Has to be considered for a call up following Shaw's injury surely? Rose will probably get the start despite not actually playing for Spurs yet this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He dived in for their 1st goal and he found himself out of position and facing the wrong way on more than one occasion. He does however play for Man U so not much will be said about if.

Assist was a beauty tbh. But you're right, some shocking defending from our entire backline at times. Shaw diving in a few times, Gomez wondered out too much and then we attempted to pass out from the back with 3 forwards running at us 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I particularly like this segment: 'I feel like this season needs to be the season I push on. Last year was good but it wasn't anywhere near I know what I can be so over the summer it was about really just working as hard as I could so that when I came back for pre-season the gaffer didn't have any choice but to start me.' That's the attitude we want in the team! Thus far he and Gray definitely appear to have gone up a level since last season. In fact with Chilwell I'd even argue he's gone up two levels! He's been very impressive indeed this season. There was a moment in the Liverpool match when he won the ball back at left back and then went on a mazy run, ending up at right wing! Almost Bale-esque that was. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rash slides, poor in the air and a real lack of pace. Where Fuchs excels is his delivery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Blur 564 Posted 9 September 2018 Report Share Posted 9 September 2018 I like how Ben is starting to realise his potential and his responsibilities as the first choice left back. I think his friendship with Maddison and Gray is an unexpected strength of ours as they all would feed off each other success and push each other on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
