Chalobah was stunning for us. I'm not going to qualify that by saying "considering he was so young" because his age simply wasn't an issue. He ran the midfield in the vast majority of games and scored a blinder against Leicester with the kind of technique that can't be coached. I'd have him back right now.

Haha, there you have it Chou. We weren't joking when we said that Chalobah was killing the championship during his time at Watford...

I watched a number of Chalobah's performances for Watford as well as being a regular visitor to a one of their fans' forums while he was there. Along with the positive, I saw many negatives too and this was reflected in the comments I read. Granted most posts were of the positive kind including one bemoaning that Chalobah would be missing a game and saying how incredible it was that an 18 year old was the key member of their midfield. We have to remember though that this was just the writer's opinion. There were also many more sober, and in my opinion more accurate, assessments.

There is a phenomenon in football where new, and especially young, players benefit from an expanded honeymoon period. During that honeymoon, a player is given maximum credit for everything he does well, while anything he does badly is either excused away or just ignored all together. As a result of this the general tendency is for the quality of these players to be overrated. Eventually though reality breaks through.

and united? city?

United are away so more chance of a cupset. I imagine it was between our game and the Citeh one of which goes on TV. Nothing between us, both at home against weaker opposition, but they're the reigning champions so they get the spot. Just the way it is, our game simply isn't very exciting with little chance of an upset.
