Callum Hudson-Odoi

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Soon as the window closed I knew what little minutes he got were done. 

 

We played him the bare minimum to get Bayern to back off. After that? He isnt rated any more than a Tomori.

Report: Chelsea Management Unhappy With Sarri’s Handling of Hudson-Odoi

Bullshit! If they cared enough about youth development that would have been in the managers contract... not hearsay...

[Laylabelle 9,357]

And this is why he wanted to leave!

People pretending Cahill is some influential figure and now people pretending this club cares about youth. 

Honestly.

2-0 down and Sarri brings on a defender for a defender?! What was the talk about Sarri considering CHO on the same level as Pedro/Willian?!

That was a cheap ploy to get Bayern to pay more for him.

[Sovieticus 743]

I honestly feel really sorry for him. He should not be here.

[Laylabelle 9,357]

If you’re Hudson-Odoi & Zappacosta comes on instead of you at 2-0 down I think you’d be going home tonight & checking out flats in central Munich on the internet

From someone on BBC..

Never seen a manager turning to a young player, who hasn't yet shown anything, to *fix* a failing team.

People are expecting CHO to get minutes because the team is not working, but it's exactly the other way around: manager and coaches will try to preserve him from the criticism and the stench of failure.

Next manager will come in and do exactly the same, at least initially.

Nah the real reason why CHO wasn't subbed on is because he already subbed on Willian for Pedro, and he wouldn't take off Hazard at 2-0 down. He makes only like-for-like subs so that's wingers off the table, and after taking off Kovacic for the more attacking Barkley, the only other more attacking like-for-like sub left was Zappacosta for Azpi.

Ah in this game, sure. Never been a big fan of Napoli style of play, so have no problem criticizing sarri, but I honestly think people are overly blaming him for losing the locker room. It's not about wanting him out - perhaps the players just don't believe in him or in his system enough to make it work. Seems to happen a lot with these players....

Just be ready that the next manager will use CHO sparingly too. Expect the same if the team is struggling. My 2-cent prediction.

Unless CHO is killing it in practice sessions, which I don't believe. When that happens coaches and management would usually step in.

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Regardless of who's the manager, CHO will not be starting games on a weekly basis as long as players like Hazard, Willian and Pedro are in the squad. People who think a new manager will just come in and start playing some 18 year old ahead of those experienced internationals are deluded.

Caballero for Kepa 

[NikkiCFC 7,952]

Accurate. 

[Special Juan 27,429]

During January and all what Sarri said about the kid was bullshit then, he's been sat o his arse more than on his feet, the poor bastard.

This club is a fucking shambles.

[Dazzy_Vance 454]

Sarri has driven our best ever youth prospect out of the club. Sarri can f*** off already.
