Dalot and Fernandez should be more then capable for a couple of months this one is bizarre

What makes you think we will see the Brighton version and not the Chelsea version? Our recent history suggests we are making players worse not better.I honestly love Cucurella the Brighton version. He was just like Alves with unlimited Stamina , very technical and well control the ball and start the attack. If this loan deal happened one year ago , I would give a gold medal to whoever managed to pull this off.
I think ETH able to leverage his strength and we see a better version of him than in Chelsea . Compared with other options of deadwood or rotting ones , I actually prefer Cucurella
I guess that's my best wishes here : ) But we are more stable environment than last year's Chelsea , and have a more established tactical framework . I still see a player in him and feel the issue is more on adaption instead of himself just a flop. ETH actually likes this type of Full back who could drive attack and able to deliver accurate passes in transition.What makes you think we will see the Brighton version and not the Chelsea version?

Very true. He wasn’t just good on the eye at Brighton either, his stats were outrageously good.It's funny how quickly things change. Cucurella looked fantastic at Brighton, some moves just don't work out but there is 100% a player in there.
Although I'd ideally like him to play CB (think sky is the limit for him in that position) I would be very intereged to see Colwill playing LB in the context of James inverting and it being an effective back 3.
Feels like a role Reece James could play very well in an ideal world...
Chilwell is bang average, shouldn't have given him a new contract, terrible decision.He's been excellent recently. Even when his aggression gets him caught out of position or turned, the upside of him winning so many duels outweighs that. I much prefer his style and tenacity to what Chilwell brings, which is kind of timid and one dimensional.
Agreed. If he's doing what Badiashile currently is he could be excellent - especially since he'd have favourable passing angles down the line and likely plenty of space on the ball.Although I'd ideally like him to play CB (think sky is the limit for him in that position) I would be very intereged to see Colwill playing LB in the context of James inverting and it being an effective back 3.
I like Cucurella in this role but it's such a shame that we prematurely sold Lewis Hall because he would have been tailormade for this role and he's an actual midfielder turned LB so he would be beautifully suited here. That said, Cucurella has looked quite good the last few games. It's sad that it's taken Poch 33 games to stumble on a tactic that works but long may it continue.
