I was discounting him because of his injury, certainly won't see him for a while. 

True, was just curious when fit, how he fits in. Will be ahead of both if he finds the form pre-injury

And what a great problem to have. 

Three very good players for one position.

It's a win win situation.

 

Thomas up and coming, but not ready to play every week, Bertrand very good and experienced, but probably not got the legs to play every week.

 

Bertrand can pass on his experience to Thomas and help him grow as a player, just as he can with Justin.

 

If it works out as well as it did with Fuchs and Chilwell, everyone's happy.

Pity Fuchs didn’t teach Chilwell how to cross the ball

Maybe he did but Chilwell's brain melted every time he set foot on the pitch.

[tom27111]

Has the potential to be one of the best left backs in the world.

 

Superb again today.

 

Still learning his trade, of course, but really excited to see how this kid progresses.

 

Great that he's from Syston, in the Charnwood district of Leicestershire.

Do like him, and he did well for the most part, but have to be honest and say I would have felt more comfortable with Bertrand there and we could have then had a better threat from set pieces.

There's something in the air in Syston, that breeds winners, I think it's the fumes from Pukka pies

Of course that goes without saying, but he's just turned 20, not been out on loan in the lower leagues and doesn't look out of place at all.

 

He'd probably walk in to the first 11 of the majority of teams in this league already.

Lad just gets better and better . Yes he will make mistakes but his footballing brain far out reaches the lad that left to warm Chelsea’s bench . Now what was his name again ?

Chilwell is genuine dogshit.

[majaco]

I'm sold.   

 

Amazing composure.   Along with Ndidi one of our best players today.

 

Difficult to leave out.

I will bow to your expertise in determining if dogshit is genuine or fake.

This Part of the thread, seems to be forgetting Castagna..

 

• i thought Thomas had a Good game, plus he wont have to Play every week against this level of pace ...

We've got 5 outstanding full backs. 

 

Brilliant because they can pretty much all play as a wing back if we switch to a 3-5-2 and I can see Ricardo in the Perez role with Timmy as RB when he's fit again.

Played well, looked fcuked after 60 mins though 

[HankMarvin]

His recovery is great and seems to read the game well when covering central positions

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

A splendid young player, destined for a great future, I suspect.

[KFS]

So so good this lad. His blocks have probably won us points today.

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Thought he was our MOTM.

 

He’s got that mentality of a top player. Several times he’s been thrown into the team in a fairly high pressure situation and he delivers.

 

He’ll be better than Chilwell for sure.

[coolhandfox]

Convinced he will play for England a some point.

 

He looks like he's played 100 PL not 18.

[Clogger_]

So composed for his age. Looks to have a steely determination. Really impressive! He has a massive future.
