Ball retention? This is the 1st time I have ever heard somebody mention ball retention from lb. 

 

When you play out form the back, kind of important.

Do you want me to name specific games or....

Weird that he's such a sh*t LB and Pep wanted him.

Hes never looked good as a LB for us his best games have always come as a LWB.

Its a good job you don't use twitter/X, current popular thing since Mount left is to pretend Chilwell is a god awful LB for some reason...

I mean he's been here 4 seasons and he's had 6-8 good months of form.

Alonso got slated by our fanbase and im yet to see how apart from pace how Chilwell is any better than Alonso.

So i dont get why you seem to think its weird he isn't rated.

He's more productive at LWB, he looks better because he's on the scoresheet/getting assists more often. 

Chilwell is a fantastic LB and one of the best in the league. 

A fully fit Robertson is the only player i'd take over him from a performance perspective from other Prem teams.

How can you say that when he's never looked that good as a lB for us?

An 18 year old rookie in lewis Hall looked miles better at LB than Chilwell did last season.

That's down to injuries, not ability or position though?

He started over 20 games last season mainly as a lB, you telling me he was good last season?.

The other time he played as a LB was when he first signed under Lampard and he was pretty average.

Its mental to say hes one of the best LB in the league based of 6-8 form in 4 seasons. I didn't think he was that impressive at Leicester.

Is your personal opinion gospel? You keep saying this like its an unadulterated fact.

Who in the league are you taking over him at LB out of interest. Argument to be made for Ake but personally think he's a product of the Pep's system rather than a better footballer. Can't think of any others.

Shaw? Nah.

Malacia? Nah.

Zinchenko? Nah. 

Burn? Nah.

Udogie has looked decent but is a walking yellow card.

We really judging players on last season? 

He was good under Lamps too first time round. Plus all the seasons at Leicester. Not sure how he can't be that impressive at Leicester and have every top club after him. Some people are just lucky in life i guess.

So long as Disasi and Silva are Poch's first choice CBs we won't ever see Gusto and Chilwell at fullbacks together.

Yes why not? Was Lewis Hall not much better him as a LB? Enzo was good, Badiashile was good but lets dismiss it and forgot it.

All the seasons at Leicester isn't true, some of there fans were delighted he was getting sold. And every top club after him again isn't true. Chilwell hasn't even had 1 full PL season as good as Cucurella at Brighton yet.

LWB yes not LB.

Still wrong.

What's funny is that we will never see Chilwell get a run at LB to make a fair judgement.

Enzo was good but still managed less goals and assists than the awful LB Chilwell between a long lay off ok ok

Lmao, he was average overall under Lampard as a LB. 

Last season he got outperformed by Lewis Hall.

Fans? That's setting a low bar for analysis given some of the drivel posted around here.

In his first season made 27 league appearances under Lampard and later Tuchel and scored two for Lamps in a back four..

The ideal is Chilwell LB and Reece RB as they are both class.

Problem is Chilwell is made of Glass and Reece Swiss cheese.

At least in Gusto we appear to have a player on his way to a very good career at the top.

So it went from name a game he played well in back to your personal opinion that he was average? 

Hall played just over 600 minutes and had as many poor games as he had good.

Obviously i meant a consistent run of games.

At LB last season Hall was clear of Chilwell not even close.
