Maybe the manager doesn't feel he's dedicated to the cause because all the Bayern talk has turned his head and he's not as focused as he'd like? Like some others have said, Maybe he's poor in training too? who knows...

I thought I’d heard comments that he was training well. Can’t remember from who mind!

 

With all the other problems we are having, giving CHO more playing time is hardly Sarri's priority. CHO has every reason not to sign a new contract because he's aware as soon as he signs, he'd be out on loan or sitting on the bench unless 2 out of hazard/Willian/Pedro are not available. The Malmo game must be a kick in the teeth for him, not only he didn't get a start, he wasn't even the first player come off the bench after 2:0 with 20 to go.

Boy has every right to want out. The way we’ve handled him is shocking. He’s not got Duff, Robben, Cole in front of him. Christ it’s no even a Malouda. It’s Pedro & Willian who are over 30 and in decline IMO. It’s no surprise he’s looking at the likes of Sancho in the bundesliga and thinking he can do similar.

I would put him in the starting lineup for the FA cup game. Long overdue, he needs to start games already, having to play 10 minutes after 10 games is not fair.

What’s this obsession with CHO, haven't seen any good reasons that justifies his hype.

It's not like he's the second coming of Kylian Mbappé as advertised lol.

At this point of time, CHO is been used as a tool to criticise Sarri with.

He likes to get the ball, face the goal and head towards it unlike the rest of our squad.

Because he offers more than both Willian and Pedro. If you haven't seen anything special, perhaps you haven't been watching the games.

Because Willian is the alternative and if the last 7 years have taught us anything he’s not going to be the player to solve a scoring crisis so some of us want to know if the young lad who is hungry for first team football is.

If we had Mane and Salah along with Hazard most of us would have been saying the club should sell CHO cause we are set already.

We dont. We have an injury prone past it Pedro, we have Willian who cannot cross, cannot take a good corner, hits worldies only when we are already well ahead, and Eden. So starting with Willian or Pedro means we start with 10 men which is nonsense when we have CHO and while you may not see him as special having Blommin Sarri on the pitch would be more useful than Pedro or Willian so CHO would be a VAST improvement.

Put it together with Alonso and Jorginho starting and we start each game with 8 men. No wonder we are always losing!

He could be the second coming of a Ronaldo/Pele/Messi/Maradona hybrid but we wouldn’t know because he rarely ever plays.

I'm seriously beginning to think this is some personal issue Sarri is trying to prove now at the expense of CHO and the club.  Quite frankly if I was CHO I would hand in a notice that says unless I start getting significantly more game time, or you sack the manager refusing to play me, I'm handing in another request in the summer and if that's ignored I'll be signing a free deal with another club come January.

It is pathetic that he is not getting a chance in this team, and I can only imagine what people like Mount/Abraham must be thinking when they see just how impossible it is to go directly from academy to first team without signing for another club first.

I’m almost expecting him to not even make the bench midweek or in the final on Sunday.

Maybe whenever CHO plays and does something amazing, Sarri is always head down in his f**king notebook and misses it ...

Why does he need to do that? Everyone knows that's what is going to happen. Chelsea know he's leaving in the summer. The only way he won't be leaving is if our manager plays him regularly and tells him he's a key player next season and CHO signs an extension. 

what's so special about this kid? When he plays, he showed he could cross, dribble and shot, something completely missing from everyone apart from Hazard. He actually puts in a good shift when he plays, unlike some who's just going through the motion every week. He's not going to be a Messi, but how many Messi are there in the world? You do with what you got, and he's a better option we got at moment.

I do think he needs to start vs Malmo. If he doesn't then that will be confusing to me. When Sarri made his team choice at the weekend, I did think Willian and Hudson-Odoi would start against Malmo. We will see. 

My Chelsea-supporting mate was at the Woking V Hemel Hempstead game last night, and guess who was there? CHO!

He got a selfie with him, the lucky bastard.

Did he tell him to sign a f**king contract and stop being a little bitch? I hope he did!

Not many players after handing in a transfer request and refusing to sign a new contract are going to start games regularly, let alone an 18 year old with his career all in front of him with no experience.
