Charly Musonda Jr.

Does Hazard speak Dutch ? He's good pal with Charlie and Thibaut and they're both native-Dutch speakers if I'm not mistaken.

Hazard doesn't speak dutch, Charly and Thibaut both speak french and dutch fluently.

Got the nod over Boga tonight and was beastly again, huge workrate all night and a nice assist at the end . Hope we can wrap the league quickly so he may get some minutes in our first-team squad.

Excellent performance by him. No doubt and the talent he has is amazing. Despite his slight figure, his balance is excellent.

Boga was not dropped though. He has been recovering from an injury and was not 100%. That is why he did not play. If he was fit he would have started. Hopefully second leg we see both in the team.

Boga was injured in the UEFA Youth league final last Monday and hadn't trained with the group since. They didn't want to risk him starting in the first leg.

Musonda is very good technique wise, has improved massively on pitch technically/positionally and his workrate has improved massively too.

However he is toooo weak. He is pushed off the ball way too easily and this is just youth football. Alot of times his technique bails him out but way too many times he looses the ball.

That would be very costly in the PL; I often say that I shudder to think what the Charlie Adams of the PL would do to him in his current incarnation.

He is ready for a loan to refine his body and technique in order to deal with the physicality of top level football.

That's what he needs to focus on in the summer. I saw pictures of him playing table tennis with Eden on his instagram and his legs are the width of twigs. Even for his age and build, his legs were far too thin. If he wants to accelerate his development, he needs to at least build up his leg muscles.

He is my MOTM in todays final together with Colkett.

He was outstanding. I often criticize his losing of the ball due to being weak; but I didn't see him lose the ball at all in the first half and he was playing in the pivot.

I'm very impressed with his eagerness to get stuck in today and sprinting back to track/mark/get back in position numerous times. That was very very good and it could make the difference in his career. That is some thing Josh Mceachran with similar physique and playing position has never managed to do.

Well played Charly, well played

AND he has nice hair and a nice smile

Already surpassed Boga in ability and potential, imo.

He's more versatile, surprised he can carry out every midfield role and excell. Winger, N10, B2B.... I think he resembles Iniesta the most.

[lionsden 4,689]

This guy right now is the best player in our youth/reserve team. He isn't just another trickster, he actually has substance to his game and at the current rate of his development, only sky is the limit.

I just hope his frail stature doesn't count against him and even if it does, im sure he will have a very dexent career wherever he ends up. Hope that's at Chelsea ofcourse.

[bababoom 4,478]

He does get bullied off the ball a lot though, he needs to bulk up a bit and learn how to shield the ball better IMO.

[Jeronimo123 3]

He needs more end product. But immense potential of course (if he devellops the fysical aspect of the game).

If I were him, I'd watch the best matches of Riquelme, Pirlo, Iniesta, Xavi, Zidane, Makalele and Viera. There is so much you can learn from watching the best footballers (offensive or defensive), certainly when you've got the ability like Musonda.

And I wouldn't hang out too much in the gym neither. He needs explosive strength and some muscle mass, but it would be a huge waste if that would come at the expense of his agility and flexibilty.

Linked with AS Monaco again. Could be really interesting, i think he is good enough. It could go wrong ofcourse but tbh, i don't wanna see our big talents in the Championship/Eredivisie/Jupiler Proleague.

Well, he is 19. If he is not good enough for Monaco then we shouldn't care.

I think he'd succeed there though. Monaco have several young, fast and powerful players like Silva, Martial, Yannick, Kondogbia, Charly would fit in. Also, they have many Belgian and French players, he wouldn't have problems with communication. He could also show his talent in the Champions League.

It's a big YES from me.
