Nathaniel Chalobah

[DDA 9,689]

I truly believe it's the perfect time for Chalobah to make a claim for the starting eleven. He is ready. Come on Antonio just take a calculated risk.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Injured with England U21. Luckily didn't look too serious. 

[!Hazard! 3,394]

I'm telling you, this is the next first XI player from the academy since JT. Every time he gets a chance, he delivers. He has all the necessary qualities to make it to the very top.

[communicate 2,703]

Brilliant backheel and played well throughout. I think he is ready for more games and minutes

[MefiX19 1,092]

Better than Pogba

 

[Fernando 6,480]

Well to he honest he seems more settled. 

RLC still looks very lazying at times. 

Out of all the youth we play he is the one that has more of a calmer feel. 

[the wes 7,212]

I want to see more of chalobah and less of Mikel in the squad I think Mikel days are numbered at chelsea now 

[Tomo 21,733]

Hopefully this is the start of us using the academy/loan army for squad depth instead of signing £7m fillers.

Or even better he proves me wrong and nails down a first team place, because we will have our new captain if he does.

Beautiful assist too.

Worked his way into match day squad, not just on pitch but I reckon in training he's been bossing it too. Impressive. He could well be making ~20 appaearances at least this season, I guess on face of it it's not that much but I was so worried he'd just have another wasted season here maybe only making the odd sub appearance in early round cup games. Delighted for him.

[The Skipper 20,593]

I'm just happy cos it seems like Conte trusts him. That's all you'd want really. 

[the wes 7,212]

Chalobah is a useful player to have in your squad cause he can play in the back three Aswell

Yeah wouldn't miss those 4 too much , pimp up our team.

[lucio 5,418]

Needs to be ahead of Oscar now. Far superior player

[Chelseabluerising 60]

So happy with our young crop of players, Conte seems the right manager to get the best out of them, get rid of a few of the senior players who aren't good enough anymore Mikel Pedro players like that, and our youngsters have the potential to do a good job to replace them and Conte will get the best out of them to reach their potential 

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I'll punch in the face anyone who says he didn't mean that backheel! 

Absolutely world-class assist.
