Hudson-Odoi is a demonstration of what innate footballing maturity looks like! Sometimes you just can't coach that kind of thing. Beyond his years in terms of composure and decision making.
Pre-season friendlies 2018
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
Fabregas and Luis off, Drinkwater and Christensen on.
.
His wife just had twins (in Venice?) 3 days ago. Don't think he should be playing? We should try and sell him if he's not settled in London. Need a replacement though!
Better off playing Bat or Giroud for sure if he's like today.
Ars defending corners 
Odoi is 17, right? Ridiculous!
18 in November. Mad to think that in ten years time he'll stll be a pretty young footballer.
Oh my, here come a million subs. Game's over, we've won 1-0. Anything that happens from now on does not count.
Like the look of Smith-Rowe.
If he progresses the way he should, then he's going to be a tremendous player.
Arsenal's defense has been woeful, Drinkwater miles onside onside there. How has this game only had 1 goal i don't know.
You're on the caf... in ten years time he'll essentially be at retirement age.
You can already see a huge difference in the way Chelsea play. Hope they flop.
A shame Luiz went off. Wanted to see him, Ampadu, Elneny and Guendouzi huddled together on a corner.
Not sure if Hudson-Odoi being the only one not subbed yet is good or bad for his chances of playing the Community Shield. If Hazard isn't back yet I'd prefer if he started on the left wing that game.

Had Chelsea scored than 1 goal per game at all this pre season? For all the improvement in style, doesn't look like they can out the game to bed.
Shite defending on the corner there. Taken quickly and only Piazon goes out to defend with a huge space between him and the players in the box, someone needed to give Piazon support as soon as the short corner was taken.
Very unlikely.You can already see a huge difference in the way Chelsea play. Hope they flop.
If they had a decent striker, they'd have had at least 4 in the first half.
Pens at a friendly. Utterly pointless.
Clearly after changing the manager we were always gonna struggle. Still some positive signs though, especially from Guendouzi (i fecking love this player), Cech and Ozil.
Still very worried about our defence. We are so easy to get at...
I'm nervous every opposition attack.

Sarri out.
He looks an incredible talent. I'm envious! You should give him lots of chances this season.
Doesn't help that they don't really have a quality striker.
Hudson-Odoi looks a fantastic prospect. Guendouzi looks a bargain.
Yep, my MoTM along with Cech and Ozil. They looked awesome.
Reminds me so much of Rabiot in how he plays and his cool composure on the ball. He even looks like him from a distance. I swear Lorient just cloned Rabiot in secret.
Good call. For me, he is already a first team player. Can't be worse than Xhaka.
I'm tempted at Guendouzi for Fantasy Football but somehow they've listed him as 1m more than Jorginho! I mean, I think the kid is going to be a big hit but that one's a no brainer!

Our line up against Napoli this evening. Pretty sure this is close as to the side that will start against West Ham next week.
DM are always a poor choice for fantasy football because they don't get any offensive points and don't get points for clean sheets, if the rules are still the same as before since i haven't played for around 4 seasons.
1-0 Milner.
2-0 Wijnaldum.
Liverpool still have Milner playing for them. How old is he now? Seems like he's been around forever.

He’s still a decent player with good fitness levels somehow.Liverpool still have Milner playing for them.
Napoli haven’t been very good so far. They don’t cope with the high press very well.
Napoli's shirt looks disgusting. They have 4 sponsors on it.
Not like he wasn't much around last season. Set the record for most assists in a CL campaign on our way to the final.Liverpool still have Milner playing for them.
Yeah, he did well. It's just weird that he's having success at his age after being so... utterly boring and average for so long.
The Zidane pirouette was a bit unnecessary and is more effective for sure but in the first case he showed a lot of desire and strength to keep the ball against three players, surely that's great for a player who is even younger than Angel Gomes.
What are the odds Hudson-Odoi gets game under Sarri this year? seemed to paly a lot and scored few times in pre-season iirc, he's my 5th cheap midfielder in FPL
