Stats 7,142 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Really impressive when he came on. Changed the game with his directness and long range passing to the other flank. Has anyone noticed his long rang passing is really good. Pulls it off quite often. killer1257 and Bosnian Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are still aspects of his game that he needs to work on so diligently. First is not to lose the ball when he comes deep. Did that against soton and we conceded. And now same thing yesterday. This is one aspect that I feel he should learn from willy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent 403 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I feel like he relies too much on his talent at this moment. Yesterday we got away atleast twice because he lost the ball at a crucial part of the field. The fact we didn't concede from it doesn't make it any less of a fault ofcourse. He misses some football intelligence in my opinion. Alright, he's only 19 but there will come a time in which he can't hide behind his age and talent.

Surrenders position, can't/won't cross the ball, runs towards players rather than into space... Bayern, are you still interested? Would get rid in a heartbeat.

I said from the getco that coming back physically from a serious injury is one thing, but to come back mentally is a whole other game. First half of the season is a write off. Let's see how he progresses this 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 19 years old coming back from a serious injury, Loftus Cheek is probably going to be underwhelming to shit for a while after returning aswell. This time last year people were comparing Bakayoko favroubly against Kovacic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulisic is undeniably a better player and there is a reason Frank would rather play Mount as a wide midfielder. 1 minute ago, Tomo said: He's 19 years old coming back from a serious injury, Loftus Cheek is probably going to be underwhelming to shit for a while after returning aswell.

The only player I can see him replacing is Kante, but would you trust this team without Kante there to rescue us time and time again?

I bet anything if it wasn't for that run in October Pulisic would be getting it from all angles right now. Regarding Ruben, he will hopefully be drip fed in for the rest of the season, I would recall Gallagher to compete with Mount till May.

On the other hand, I don't see what the fuss is about and think it's obscene he's on such money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's obscene to suggest we should sell him after a poor first half of the season knowing damn well he just came back from a serious injury. He can only get better from here. Mount is essential to Lampard and his system so hardly an outcry that Lampard is preferring Mount over CHO who is still finding his feet. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Remember last season when Sarri said Odoi will need to be rotated in and out for a few years still and you all went ballistic? Who knew he was right all along? NikkiCFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I know CHO is still only 19 and just came back from a serious injury. It's a fine line between being patient and expecting instant top level performances right now. But I just wonder how long do we have to be patient before expecting CHO to perform? Next Christmas? I don't expect CHO to turn into Messi or Ronaldo and put in world class performances right away but certainly expect a lot more than what he's doing so far. He's been tentative at best.

Jase 43,479 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Not sure about the rules but CHO can still be used in the youth/reserve games right? Can't remember when the lads last played but surely it would have beneficial for him to play some games and regain his confidence etc? We have had to carry half a player in the squad while we are trying to get out of this rut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
