Whats the point? I just hope we can rotate a bit during this relatively quiet next few weeks. I'm thinking they will get more chances with fixtures piling up in Dec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblève. 4,995 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 With Mikel unfortunately gone now it seems like Nat is gonna fill that void in my heart longing for a composed lanky midfielder. The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's too big 625 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Does anybody here believe he can become a box to box? He seems reliable defensively, and seems to have an eye for a pass, but he doesn't score many goals. What type of central midfielder could you label him as?

Popular Post! CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 8, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted January 8, 2017 I think the best compliment I can give Nate for his performance, not just today, but throughout this season , is that I would not panic if Matic and Cesc were out from a match and we had to start him.

I can't pretend that I see Mikel as any kind of loss, but I'm happy for him that he has achieved a magnificent contract. Whenever he returns to The Bridge I will be on my feet and cheering; he deserves no less. MJO is not the player we need however so his departure is good for all concerned. Meanwhile… Nat impresses every time we see him. As far as I'm concerned, in any game where Antonio does not believe that Cesc can start, Nat should be selected ahead of Nemanja. He offers no less defensively than our lanky Serbian and is a better distributor since he sees passes across a wider arc than Matic does. Nemanja is so horribly left-sided that he seems to automatically disregard all passing options which would be available on his right foot. I'm not talking about beautiful, defence splitting deliveries, just the ordinary little balls which give the team an opportunity to press forward and build momentum. Time, and time again, Nemanja has to ignore such opportunities and opt to drop the ball back towards our own goal simply because that's the angle available with his left foot. It is something which drives me mad. People might point out that Nat is right-footed, and ask if we would not simply be swapping one kind of problem for another. Well, no, we wouldn't. Nat has better body control which means he is more able to adjust his shape and make the pass with his right foot. In any case, he is less, far less, one-footed than Nemanja.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Man he's really calm and composed. Conte must have seen him in Italy prior and clearly Nat's learned composure on the ball on time on loan. With all the hype Loftus-Cheek received last season, the pressure was less on Chalobah and it's worked in his favour. It will be a good day when Chalobah, Ake, Aina and Loftus-Cheek are on the same pitch in a league game! (of course I know we're a way off that, but it's encouraging that it's more realistic than any other manager past) Miguelito and kellzfresh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguelito 459 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 My favorite thing about him might be his body language. He runs, walks, etc around the pitch like he OWNS it. Just so confident. I'm very much with@OhForAGreavsie in the camp that he should be starting over matic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I completely agree with you. In fact I have used exactly the same phrase you did to describe Nat's on pitch persona. He does indeed move around as if he owns the place. I first made that point more than four years ago when Nat was captaining the youth team and most recently repeated it earlier this season when I argued that, if he can make himself an automatic starter, Nat would be the perfect choice to claim the armband as JT's long-term successor. Now there is something I must add. I have many times in the past written off Nat's chances of making it at Chelsea. If he does become a starter, and the club captain to boot, he will have proved me to be comprehensively wrong.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Ive always wondered what a Nate,N'Golo,Cescy trio would work like. Got big hopes for him and needs more playing time. Sideshow Luiz and jernej93 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 He's a good player. Wonder how he'd have developed with more regular game time here. Love how proactive he is in getting the ball forward. He also needs to get that confidence he had in the final third at youth level back - he's definitely good enough to stick around next year.

gadget 126 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I hope Chalo is given more game time this season to see if he can make it. Last year of his contract i can see (and you cant blame him) leaving for free if not given any game time. Would be another of our 'top youth prospects' walking away for nothing blueblood22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1 1,166 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 If we we actually sell Matic and sign Bakayoko it's a move I'm all for, essentially promoting Chalobah to back up. The Skipper and gadget 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
