Impressive game from young Lewis Hall yesterday. It's the 3rd time I'm seeing him play and he's impressed every time - one of the bright sparks of Chelsea's dismal season plus he's only 18 years old. Already looks more responsible in this chaos than some of his more experienced team mates. Bright future awaiting the lad IMHO and won't be surprised if he breaks into the England squad in a season or two.

I thought he looked great going forward, defensively not so much, but he is only 18, fantastic prospect.

Good going forward but had a bit of a defensive nightmare. Seems like he will fit right into the PL.
He’s actually a midfielder by trade. He was playing like a left footed KDB stylistically in the youth team. He’s shown he can do a job at LB so he’s been shoved out there whenever he’s given a chance in the first team which makes his performances all the more impressive imo.

Yeah, definitely so in that case. Would be fine in a back 5 but a back 4 with your defensive shape currently seems a bit naive.

First time I have seen him last night and I'm glad you cleared this up as he looked like an attacking midfielder rather than a full back, it was a wicked cross he put in for missed header. Seems to have a lot of energy and skill set to go with it.

May be you should loan him to Brighton so he can team up with his mate Colwill who I hope to God will be staying with us!

I thought he was their best player apart from Felix. Looked decent going forward bit iffy defensively.

I guess when your squad is as lean as Chelsea’s the manager has no choice but to throw in youngsters out of position.

So basically a left footed TAA?

Good player, I was impressed when I saw him earlier in the season for a couple of games too.

And scary to think that ian maatsen is as highly rated or even higher. Hall has always impressed me everytime i have seen him play. Pochettino will fall in love with all these Youngs players at Chelsea.

Pretty much. I would say Lewis looks like a bit more of a unit. I would personally say he looks more like a limited Reece James than TAA as the kid seems to have a lot more desire to get back, even if he isn't great at it.

Brilliant young talent but I hope he’s not one that is forever moved position and he really struggles to cement a place in the team in one position.

Nah, I support good managers and Manchester United. Good manager that has my support right now are Pochettino, xabi Alonso, de zerbi and pep guardiola.
So you support a club and the managers of its rivals. Got it. Totally normal person.

He looks like fantastic young player, his crossing accuracy is insane.

He really should be first choice LB.

Wasnt impressed with him in the game at Anfield where he started as CM. LB seems to suit him a lot more as he has more time on the ball and shows his quality on the ball

Very impressive. Can tell he’s not a defensive player but has quality on the ball going forward. Would look good as an Pep style inverted full back.
