BEN CHILWELL - AN UPGRADE THAT HAS CHANGED OUR DYNAMISM
We have cried out loud for a proper LB for years now. Against Palace, we saw exactly what impact a modern-day LB can have defensively/offensively for a team.
The upgrade is astounding...

The Goal:
Chilwell moving forward truly acts like another left-winger. He ensures that the field is stretched out as much as possible. Brilliant awareness here for the loose ball. Fantastic technique on the volley at the far post.

The Assist:
All throughout the match, Chilwell was delivering peaches during set-pieces. There were at least 2 other chances where we probably should've scored of the back of his delivery. His ability to whip the ball just behind the defense is sublime!
Great goal Zouma!

Astute Defending:
Unlike our previous LBs, there's no rushing into a tackle or being rash on a challenge unnecessarily. Chilwell sees the danger all throughout the process like a hawk. Defuses the situation exactly when it was required.

Strong Aerially:
Chilwell won 4/4 aerial duels in the match. He isn't the tallest player on the field but his technique in the air is supremely sound. This is a major asset for us as teams cannot look for an out-ball to escape.

The Press:
Chilwell is so quick and mobile. This is an attribute we have missed since the Ashley Cole days. This ability allows us to box the opposition in their own half. Brilliant intensity in pressing and completely suffocating the opposition.

The Composure:
How often have we seen in these situations that our LB has left their marker or they are out of position? Several times!! Not Chilwell though, perfect positioning and awareness to know what's around him.
Nonchalantly chests the ball back to Mendy...

Build-up Support:
Chilwell is a key component of the build-up. His athleticism will allow Jorginho to shine as he's looking for a faster transition from the back. Chilwell's a smart operator as he always positions himself between the lines.
Ben Chilwell the game changer...
