Nathaniel Chalobah

[CHOULO19 24,332]

So HT 2-0 Watford. Chalobah has been good so far - a couple of moments of naivety on the ball, which I would expect of someone who's just 18, but more moments that show his class and talent on the ball, as well as defensively. Nice run for the goal too.

Something that always catches my attention when I watch Nathaniel is that he is excellent at blocking channels. He doesn't try to needlessly tackle the opposition player, but rather close the passing angle for him and force him to lose possession. You rarely see that with 18yo players.

Williams has come on and also made an impact. Ireland U19 Hoban has also had a decent game. Good, young British talent on display tonight.

I agree. This is why you rarely see him running about sliding into tackles like other DMs, he is very much a tactician.

Chalobah being a BOSS and settling the game down there. Lovely.

2-2 now, uh-oh.

[Leif 6,006]

Oh I think we all knew that was coming.

Murray is a very dirty player

Cheeky chalobah

Chalobah off 89th minute. Pretty good game but struggled as Watford deteriorated.

Impressive performance from Chalobah but seriously, what a piece of shit United have payed 15 mil pounds for!

Tbh he was good in the 2nd half.

I like Zaha, my type of player *blush*

He did well second half. United probably see a bit of Nani/Ronaldo in his style of play and future development. They spent £12million on Ronaldo and £22million on Nani so not surprised they're willing to spend £15m on Zaha. Likely he'll have 2-3 seasons of inconsistency before coming good.

On Watford - getting a feeling of Martinez at Wigan as usual with Zola. Has the tactics right but the wrong players. Vydra, Chalobah and Hoban the only players I rate from Watford from what I've seen.

Abdi is also pretty good.

I'm afraid if Hoban is playing for Ireland, he's not 'British talent'!
