I was at the game Today and have to say Challobah and RLC were fantastic. Batsy grew into the game and I was really pleased to see him score. Pedro at wing back was brilliant and I could see him playing there more often. Sadly Branna looked poor though but the way Cesc pulls all the strings is simply awesome. He must stay and start more games, when he ticks we tick. Only Posh but nice to get back to winning ways after the other night. Future looking good.

Going over to the hull game in 2 weeks first visit since Chelsea v Blackburn in 2010 can't wait to see the blues in action. Glad to hear u enjoyed d game today great to see rlc and chalobah step up I think at d moment rlc needs a loan to prove himself and chalobah is as good as ready to start he's faster better on the ball and more attackminded with possession than matic

The cesc connundrum is difficult. Ed02 has said he will leave in the summer (correct me if wrong) . Conte obviously doesn't want to play him. Problem is who else can pick out a pass like him, when we are struggling. He can unlock the most difficult defences.

Thanks Magic. Enjoy the Hull game mate.

In proper cockney accent 'Chalobah is mustard'.

Every time I watch him play he seems to look class that Loan at Napoli has done him wonders. I wouldn't mind seeing him next to Kante for a few games he's a lot more dynamic than Matic and he also has a fantastic long range shot on him.

Thought RLC looked the bees today even if it was Peterborough. His work rate was fantastic consider he had no game time which is what we'd like to see. But I still think he needs a loan I'd like to see him under Howe at Bournemouth now that we've recalled Ake. Kante, Matic, Fabregas and Chalobah is more than enough for two places in midfield.

Also glad to see Zouma play 90 minutes. He looked raw but that will get better with more gametime.

RLC was great indeed :-) I just hope we don't loan him to a Championship side. He needs top level experience.

Ed002 do you think we will recall Ake?
Lot of paper talk at the moment due to ridiculous prices being quoted for our transfer targets?
Thank you

{Ed002's Note - Yes the club is looking at recalling him.}

Thank you.
Im 50 / 50 . would love to see him as i love seeing our own academy players come through. but i have doubts because if he doesn't play it will set him back. He is playinh well and a regular at the moment . don't want us ruining that.

Wht does everyone else think?

{Ed002's Note - It is rather more complicated than that.}

I won't ask why or how lol

I'm genuinely happy and excited to see him get some first team opportunities.
We have been crying out for some of the academy lads to get a chance and Conte seems to be the man to give it to them .

A good call bringing Ake back and I hope he gets game time. I good gesture would be Loftus-Cheek to Bournemouth where he would get excellent opportunities and Howe has the makings of a good man manager.

C1915 great call. Bournemouth would be a great move for him. good footballing side
