Maybe didn’t show that at times last season but he got way too much stick from the fans, turned into an easy target after every 90 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxford blue Posted 11 December 2020 Share Posted 11 December 2020 This from the Guardian worth a read: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/dec/11/ben-chilwell-chelsea-frank-lampard Pity he thought he had to go to Chelsea to win trophies. Hopefully Thomas will be challenging him for an England place in another 12 months or so - with City winning more than Chelsea 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinkenzo Posted 11 December 2020 Share Posted 11 December 2020 I don't wish harm on players who choose to leave us like some other fans do, namely Kante/Maguire or even Mahrez. Something about Chilwell though makes me want him to fail, I doubt he will though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 11 December 2020 Share Posted 11 December 2020 He only got the stick from the fans becos he was getting more and more rubbish when he played barring the odd good goal, like the one against chelsea last year i think.

Tom12345 Posted 11 December 2020 Share Posted 11 December 2020 (edited) http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/chelseas-ben-chilwell-makes-leicester-4790946.amp “When we won the league with Leicester in 2016, when I was fortunate enough to be in the squad at 18 or 19 years old, what I found was that the boys were going into every game confident they were going to win.” That is what I find very unfortunate and I am missing this. For a long while, especially with the likes of Vardy, Kasper, Evans and Ricardo, you sense that they chase and chase because they feel like they can win and they don’t give up. Nowadays, and it has been like that the entire 2020, I feel like the possession based football and Rodgers excuses (at least in the media) have broken this mentality. I used to think that we always want to win - so yes we sometimes just constantly pump the ball upfield and lose possession but the spirit was there - nowadays we care more about keeping possession.

It looks so obvious now. I have watched him a couple of times for Chelsea and he looks much improved from when he was here. His crossing and corners are spot on and he makes some smart runs. He downed tools for us no doubt about it. I was really gutted when he decided to leave us, and not keep progressing with us. But it’s worked out well effectively he paid for the bulk of our transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adejo92 Posted 11 December 2020 Share Posted 11 December 2020 Forgotten about him until this thread has re emerged. Showing he's a good player for Chelsea but was nothing like that for us. Can't say it was lack of effort, probably just the way in which he is being instructed to play and the players around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TamworthFoxes Posted 12 December 2020 Share Posted 12 December 2020 If the reported wages posted above are correct then that is outstanding work from his agent. Truly frightening money for a left back. Would love to have seen the reaction of Mason Mount when it dawned on him Chilwell was on double his money!! 😂 I imagine he was asking his own agent why the f**k the left back who passes backwards and sideways all game is on double his own poke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people really struggle to understand why certain players left and it baffles me. Chilwell, Maguire and Mahrez are all on 200k a week and playing for more prestigious clubs. It's pretty clear why they wanted to leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 12 December 2020 Share Posted 12 December 2020 Far better player than most of you realised. As he's showing! Lets hope Thomas can replace quickly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
