Pretty decent.

Was definately one of our best players today.

2nd player to make full debut in a European final. I thought he was excellent. Probably still end up loan though, but looks every bit as good as Tomori, if not better. I had high hopes for Nate, so it would be nice if one made it!

2nd Chalobah to win a trophy with the Chels

Was good today, but definitely showed that hes still quite raw with some of the mistakes he made. He's still very young, still has time to turn into a quality player for us.

Definitely one for the current loan army and not one of the selling bunch like Peart-Harris and Simeu

Just started playing and whoops already won some silverware, proper Chels.

I actually thought he struggled for the most part. Got much better after they scored though.

Trev has forced his way in to TT thinking. Could be if the Kounde deal falls through Trev is kept around, before he was set to go to Valencia on loan.

He did ok, for which he should be given extra kudos, for achieving that despite playing next to Zouma and CHO.

Much more assured once Azpi and Jorgi came on

I agree with you. I thought he had a good first half but, in the second half up until their goal, I thought he had some dodgy moments when he made some mistakes. I think that having CHO (whom I thought had a bad game) playing at his side did not help him much and he improved a lot after Azpi came on. It is expected as he is young and inexperienced at this level, but he can become a very good player and hope he stays around or goes to a good team on loan where he can play regularly.

I thought he did well. We probably need to see more of him to be sure but Tuchel seems impressed with him. He took his chance - which youth players need to do. 
 

The difficulty whether to send him on loan or not. Minutes are important at his age but then  who knows what will happen. Could he miss his opportunity? What happens if Tuchel leaves? What happens if it’s a bad loan? If Tuchel will give him minutes, then I think he should stay and fight it out. 

Nate was one of my favorite academy players. He progressed very well under Conte.

Now it's time for Trevoh to make it happen.

If Tuchel has plans for him this season, then he should stay. He must play, a proper loan for him would help him a lot. All he needs is a game time.

And for my next trick....

Excellent performance overall, but did make some big mistakes that could have been costly. Thankfully for some of them he recovered well and dealt with it.

Dont think we need Kounde now because he looks like some player

I hope TT can find room in his burgeoning squad, looks like  he’d give James a run for the RB position…

I shared these in the match chat but will put them in here, it’s such a great feeling to see how much playing, scoring and being part of the club means to our academy players. I really don’t understand those who don’t have a special affinity for them. I’m not even English but I love these kids.

 

A fantastic moment.

Couldn't have imagined in our wildest dreams he would score on his league debut

The best debut a young defender could ever ask for. May he kick on and improve further!

Do we even need Kounde?

Chalobah is inexperienced at this level, it's likely he'll have plenty of struggles. So I'd say yes.

We also have Silva, Azpi who are aging and Rudi who is apparently unsure on signing a new contract, the problem it would create is we’d be stacked this season. I think we really need someone to leave (Zouma) to justify it, or we could go back in next summer and use those funds for a Kante alternative (Rice or Touchami (sp))
