He's not long turned 17! He's still raw, but at his age he is already standing out in our youth system as arguably the best talent. Sometimes a player just stands out. He's stood out for the youth sides and in the international tournaments too. He has so much to his game and physically he is suited to the PL unlike some talented youngsters. I am biased though because I am a fanboy of the kid lol. 

I agree but the bit in bold is my point! Let’s try to stay grounded and not over hype the lad! 

I would like to see him tonight, at least for 25/30 minute

I learned my lesson with Josh McEachran, I remember watching him in reserve games and youth games when he was 16/17/18, I genuinely thought he would be one of the greatest English midfielders, now he's a Championship player. 

 

Fwiw I don't think CHO is yet ready for 90 minute appearances but certainly has the ability to excel for 30 or so minutes against tiring opposition. Will be interesting to see if he makes the England squad for next month's friendlies v Holland/Italy.

He is so good

Every time Giroud plays i would pull Hazard into the middle behind him, and put Callum on the left wing, he's brilliant at beating his man and getting a wicked cross into the box, Giroud  would make hay.

anybody else see the resemblance between him and martial? they look like twin brothers ha.

I have a meme for this but I believe only @TomCFC85 would appreciate it.

Callum has much better teeth though

Looking forward to see him against Hull City, before the Barcelona's game I think Conte will make some change for to rest players like Hazard or Kante

Does it involve Spider-man?

It involves kfc, watermelon and a spinning basketball. I assumed you were a man of culture...

Hopefully we’ll see him tonight first. Good opportunity to give him a start on Friday though, it won’t happen but it’s a good opportunity.

Forgive me, Master.
I have sinned.

 

Any chance to see him starting tonight?

f**k McEachran did you see Kakuta at youth level? 

Not his best game.

Not because of what he did with the ball, because whenever he had it he was dangerous,but because he saw very little of it. I was very frustrated to see him getting involved so little in 45 minutes, none of the other players seemed to be able to find him.

But still, extremely promissing, just hope Conte starts to trust him more often now

Has to be said though, our whole team stopped pressing and we didnt had the ball as much, which made things more difficult for Callum

He didn’t look out of place which is as good of a compliment as you could pay him really. 

Thought there were many times when he found space in a hole and either Willian or Drinkwater didn't pass to him. 

Looks classy on the ball, and when he runs forward he actually picks out teammates more often than not, which is where players like Pedro let us down, I've lost count of the number of counter attacks broken down by a sh*t pass from Pedro or Willian over the years.

Yes noticed that too. But willian isn't exactly known for his intelligence. Hudson-Odoi at times had his hands up as if to say "why didn't you pass to me?!"

I would have liked to see him involved at the start of the game when the game was open, not to 4-0... The second half was very poor, lack of commitment, lack of energy from the whole team... 

But his first touch is very class, he never lose the ball, he has this intelligency to kept the ball at every moment even with 2 or 3 guys around of him, impressive for a young who has only 17 years
