Confident in his passing.  Love Chilwell but he is well off pace compared to Cucu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Looked good when he came on, he's going to be superb for us. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 He had a very good game especially considering he'd only been with the team for 1 day. Didn't put a foot wrong, crisp passing, got up and down and provided a nice cross for Sterling. As soon as he's up to speed he'll replace Chilwell, probably next game against sp*rs. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton 2,120 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Very promising first game, looked very calm when under pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Sicarius 610 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 With just 1 training with team he looks really good. Im so happy we dont need to push Chilwell to play and have good replacement for him as now(no Alonso is another plus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Can Chil be switched to the right ? Or Mark to the left ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely in case with any health issues with Silva/K2 Cucu will play as LCB and Chilly as LWB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season he spend ~20% play time as LCB in Brighton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Sicarius 610 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Â Good analysis. Nice point is that he is more creative than Chilwell. We need that to create more chances. Â Â Â ZAPHOD2319 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea_4_eva 1,182 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Looked great on his cameo debut, lets build on that performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) One thing I really liked was the lack of touches he took when it came to passing. I know Chilly is only back from an injury but even before, sometimes, he can take 2 or 3 more touches than necessary. Or play a softer pass that slows down the build up. I don’t know how long he played but how many times did Cucurella get the ball out of his feet and fire a quick pass into a team mate? Even under pressure? This sort of thing will help our build up play and allow the guys in MF to get on it quicker. RJ and Chilly both sometimes are very guilty of this, although they are both good enough not to need to do this.

bluesman2610 1,417 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 He also plays a lot of forward passes I noticed in his brief cameo. BC and RJ often play it backwards slowing down the build up allowing the defence to shift into full positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Chilwell and James are also reluctant to pass through the middle at times. Hopefully this isn't something Cucurella is coached to do as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,958 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I really enjoyed his latest presser. He seems very humble and sounds like a definition of a team player. Looking forward to seeing more of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Very energetic player perfect for the high press. I think he's very different from Chilwell, which is good of course. 2 quality players with vastly different characteristics!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Yesterday showed his limitations in attack. He's great energy and defensive prowess but he had two open shots and failed miserably. Prime Chilwell puts one of them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
