Nathaniel Chalobah

[Madmax 9,219]

Give it a rest mate. He's a good player having a tough game against opposition who are set up for more intelligently than Watford are.

But yeah, let's judge him on 33 minutes of one game. Fuck me.

I don't know who you've assumed me to be but I'm not stupid enough to be saying this after watching half an hour of this game

He hasn't been at the level he's showed previously and it's been a while at that. I'm not blaming him; I understand it's part of his development.

Funny because he was young player of the month in the Championship.

Sometimes you just have to look at a team and give them credit for setting themselves up well to stop the other team. Palace have done that and nullified Watford's midfield. Now Zola will need to make the adjustments to counter this.

And in the last 5 minutes Nat has got himself back into the game.

why Watford players are walking...do they know that they could run ??

his attitude today is also bad (For the moment). he aint even fighting. he is just jogging around the pitch- and this has nothing to do with crystal palace. of course crystal is playing good tactically, but chalob isnt even trying hard to unlock himself.

Like I said, it's ups and downs and I appreciate that. Just not quite Chelsea starter quality yet but will undoubtedly be there one day, in 2 years perhaps.

Chalobah is the worst version of Mikel

[AndersonBLUE 819]

get zola on at half time

[nono 791]

He has to play further up the pitch. He is so far back that it's taken him out of the game.

He's 18 years old playing at Wembley for the first time and he's not tearing around the pitch on a hot summer's day....and he's getting criticised for that. Fuck me.

This game so far is a great argument that there should be a reduction in the number of teams in the premiership. Both teams here are garbage and they should not deserve in any way to get the 180m or whatever is at stake.

[DDA 9,929]

He's pretty poor. Like a worse jogging Mikel, if that's possible.

NO, just NO!

Spot on mate.

He isn't having a great first half. Those balloon's have more presence on the pitch than he does at the moment but like you said he is just having a tough time of it. I expect him to have a better second as thing's can only get better for him.

How come United always find these good young English players and make them into worldbeaters? Zaha could be in the future aswell..

so a 18 year old guy cant fight in a RELEGATION Final on a hot summer day? whats this for an argument? and in the winter, he wont be able to play, because its too cold?

chalobah is having a bad game. thats it. nothing serious, but no need to try and make it better than it is.

[nono 791]

Does he even know Mourinho is watching ? I hope someone told him.

Except he has sprinted back when he's needed to.

My point was that there are far older players than Chalobah who have underestimated the toll that pitch can take on their stamina. Palace have done well to keep Watford's midfield quiet but they're still carving out chances (which Nat has been at the centre of most of the time).

He's not having his best game but let's not write him off just yet. Criticising his attitude is just a really.....it's not entirely accurate.
