The Moonster Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 10 minutes ago, BingMcCrosby said: Its a disaster if he doesn't actually play, which so far he hasn't even been in any squad. A loan move to Southampton would likely have him playing regularly. Im not sure if having this opinion makes me a typical scotland fan or not. Just a sensible scotland fan. 9 minutes ago, Merkland Red said: He can train with great players every day but if was went to another EPL team he is playing against great players most week. It's hard to justify taking him to the Euros because he trains with good players. We need him playing. It's been 2 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Just now, The Moonster said: It's been 2 games. Do you genuinely think he has a chance of breaking in to the midfield against the competition he has this season? Especially as it looks like the manager is changing to a two man set up in the middle of the park? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do know is Billy Gilmour has impressed Tommy Tuchel and looks like he's being kept in the Chelsea squad. I see that as good news, others (bizarrely to me) see it as bad news, or disastrous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its bad news if he's going to be playing less first team football than he would out on loan or would have if Lampard had still been in charge, which is obviously the case. Hope he goes to Southampton. I don't think his chances of making it for the Euros are very good, but if he doesn't go out on loan they are zero. As for his development as a player he is only 19 so nothing is urgent just now, just in terms of making the Euros a loan is essential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I'm wondering if we're reading too much into Gilmour being left out of two squads. Tuchel is still getting to know his players and is still figuring out what works. He's spoken glowingly of him, praising very highly what he has seen in training. I'm going to presume that Tuchel and Chelsea are still serious about developing him. I have a feeling he'll get his chance soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudson-odoi, another youngster, has been by miles their best player both games. I kind of wanted him to go out on loan but I don’t think there’s any need for these reactions. Chelsea have 7 games in a little over 3 weeks coming up. If he hardly features in that run then this sort of talk will be merited but I think it’s a bit early yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Very strange bench. Keeper, 3 defenders, 4 forwards, and 1 midfielder (Kante). His only chance of even getting on the bench is injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I'm not sure who's missing from the other night to give him a spot but it's a step forward at least.
