21. Ben Chilwell

[DH1988 1,273]

Impulse, nothing more and it comes with experience, I’d of done the same thing if I were in Ben’s position. Hindsight is always 20/20 but ultimately Cu shouldn’t have just watch a ball go over his head before sprinting, Ben would have got a yellow.

Chilly’s father passed yesterday.

WTF

is it about our defenders and injuries?

Fofana (waste of time), Baddy, Chalobah, James (now a reg) now well chilled (has become a reg)

[robsblubot 3,502]

maybe we now know why he hasn't been playing: he did not look super fit against Brighton to my lay eyes.

Hope City are in for him next summer.

Yeah that would be great - not. Just like with Kovacic who has been excellent at City since going there. Would be another huge mistake.

Plus not like there are a huge plethora of LBs at Chilly’s level out there but sure.

Bar Palmer Maatsen is the only player that can move the ball quickly in attacking areas. 

LB should be the last place he should be playing. 

[robsblubot 3,502]

At a home game needing a win against a weak side, I could see Maatsen starting as LB.

On an away game, even if Fulham, I'd be fairly certain Cucu (or Colwill) will start on the left, and I can totally understand why; Mudryk is really terrible at defending, so Poch needs a more defensive LB when Mudryk plays. Carney will change that when he's back.

Either way, huge loss esp in a stupid carabao game.

Normally it would be a big blow but now when Colwill is starting LB which I prefer we should be good. James is couple weeks away plus Badiashile is almost there. Gusto, Cucurella, Maatsen... Plenty of options in defense. Chilwell was not doing good lately. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

This would only pose an issue had we stuck with the manager that amplified all our attacking/chance creation through the quality of our wingbacks.
