Noticed in the Summer Chukwuemeka seemed a bit lost, as if he couldn't grasp the new concepts, drifting aimlessly despite the great dribbling skills. Actually think that was the reason Maresca didn't fancy him, can't be technical ability, which he has in droves.
Well George, what I learnt was .....that my post from 7 months ago was absolutely bang on. I told you that the Conference League would be great for the youngsters to gain experience - of travel,of dodgy pitches, crowds and conditions - of travelling a 7,000 mile round trip, staying in a hotel, backing up for their next game etc. There are no negatives in this. I bet that most 'fans' wouldn't be familiar with many of the players in the team or on the bench. Well now they are, plus they know they can compete at this level and that the actual depth in the club is unbelievable. Good times ahead.....with home grown talent.... Go Blues Phil
I thought we might lose this but I made two big misjudgements. One: their ability to play in such extreme cold and not letting it be as much of a factor as i thought it would. Especially the young lads, big respect to all of them. Two: how poor Astana were. If this was a home game, it would have been another 8-niller.
It seeems that KDH was a part of Maresca to Chelsea deal. As if Leicester said: "sure, you can have Enzo for this amount of money, but you will also buy a player in addition." I fully expect him to be either sold by next summer or settle for the life of perennial back-up in case there's an injury calamity. (Which isn't too bad either. I'd take that.)
@NorbertNahumEvreuklovic He's a very good footballer. Just not in the top of the top bracket, which gets to start for Chelsea. He'd do great in comparatively smaller teams or slightly less demanding leagues.
I also feel like I should say I respect his game and think he can come good at Chelsea, but I think the weight of the shirt is getting to him. This is not the player he was even 2 years ago in the prem
This comp is way too easy for us but people shouldn’t hate on it for us honestly. Think about it, we have a large squad so more of the players are getting minutes whilst we rest the main ones. We get to let youngsters debut/get minutes and see what they’re about when given an opportunity. Lastly, and maybe most important, winning this competition would be huge for the players. Imagine the first trophy for marseca and the team, the experience of playing in the semi final/final, the continued growth within the team when winning a European competition
You have to remember that players play themselves into form. So a player like Chukwuemeka that doesn’t get any minutes will be very rusty Even the youngsters play more than him as they are in the U21 prem
Uefa gave the goal to Guiu, google gave it as an own goal....so yeah its a Guiu goal officially. The lad definitely needs a loan, he isnt gonna get a chance with Jackson, Nkunku and Felix. 1st half was the Pedro neto show, the others were good but there is a gulf in class between Neto and the other forwards which showed istelf when neto came off and we looked a bit toothless. Good show from the academy lads though but I didn't really see anything that looked outstanding ofc that could be the frozen pitch, the obscene temperature or the insane travel. Ice level finished, gaming has taught me that we will have a sand level next, we move!
Hey George, you say people shouldn't belittle the conference league, yet 30 seconds later, you're belittling it!! Great to see youngsters getting a run - even in -11°.
I really like Viega, hes a different kind of Lb to cucu. As much as they both like to attack, I think veiga has a calmness about him that is simply enjoyable to watch. I dont think hes at a level to start over cucu but love it nonetheless
I agree with Guiu needing to be in and around the first teams and build his confidence up. Learn from the mistakes we made when we first bought a young Lukaku.
Hello fellow Benson fans! I'm going to my first game at the Bridge on Sunday. Anyone knows the pubs that the Matthew Harding crowd hang out at before the game? My ticket is in the MH lower and I'd like to hang out with some die hard Chels before the game😄
Threecpoints and moving on. Some starters struggled. Acheampong who has played little, looks out of form. Disasi as captain and LCB had a good game. Neto and Guiu making dangerous runs on the right side. Veiga looked comfortable as an inverted LB. Dewsbury-Hall looked out of sorts. Really in the next two to four years, how many of the academy players who started, will be associated with the first team. Also reveals the level of the players for PL readiness vs further development opportunities.
Honestly George, hold your cool on Kiernan Drews-Hall, the guy is a good conductor, he might have had a not so fluent game today, but he's much class at releasing players and the ball in this system, game flows better with his moves,,He's that guy that will receive from defense and drive/lay the ball immediately when he sees a pass, fast decisionmaking... I honestly think apart from the fact that Enzo has improved, this guy is much better in this system than him...we'll see this as time passes by.... Plus KDH rarely loses possession. A yelliow box for the game is okay, but your comments on him are mean bro. The one player Chelsea honestly should sell in Chuku, that guy's career at Chelsea is finished, aimless dribling, no flow of the game in terms of combining with the teammates. The ball/flow seemed to always break when passed to him, he has no vision whatsoever, or clue of whatever that is happening around him. Guy always plays with his head low, doesn't know how to scan,,we should sell this guy like yesterday.
George what you are saying now exactly about our youth team and how good they will be and we will only keep the best of the best I've been saying that for the last 3 years no one believes me look at them now hahaha CFC for life that's why we banned Liverpool from coming to Chelsea training sessions poaching our players as they know we have the best in the world real Madrid say it Barcelona say it B. Munich say it and Paris Saint-Germain say it And so do I come when you blues 💙
Don't think it got significantly colder in the second half. If it was that cold should have speeded up play. Without Neto we were ponderous and boring against a side no better than Noah. KDH and Carney needed to perform and failed dismally. Needed to make an effort for the fans who travelled.
KDH is a BACK UP - he's not getting into a team with Caicedo, Enzo and Lavia in front of him, and nor is Gallagher. Squads need a variety of players, you cant have 25 galacticos. I'm happy we've got a player like KDH who knows Maresca's system and is happy to take a bench role and do the dirty work in these sorts of games.
Astana 1 Cobham 3
Academy boys done us proud
Sakyi is class with acheampong
99% pass accuracy crazy for Sakyi
They all have Ghanaian roots❤
Maresca really made it look like an academy match😂😂
Giving those youngsters a glimpse of the Chelsea tactics and opportunities to play in Europe.. is amazing
Team C was good 😊🎉
Much love from Kenya
Rak-Sakyi, you have our respect and attention. 🤝
Noticed in the Summer Chukwuemeka seemed a bit lost, as if he couldn't grasp the new concepts, drifting aimlessly despite the great dribbling skills. Actually think that was the reason Maresca didn't fancy him, can't be technical ability, which he has in droves.
Acheampong gave Trent and Reece James vibes.
He's already better!

Phil
Desasi was like a father playing with his sons on a Sunday morning, deserve a box
Anyone who watches Axel, Tosin and Viega and thinks Badishiele is better than these players needs a medical check up
KDH is giving me Danny Drinkwater vibes and I hope he doesn’t end up same.
Panic buy that was
😮😢
He is definitely DD 2.0 hehe he won’t be here next season
Felt exactly same😅
@@sydneyngwerume8482how was he a panic signing, Maresca's managed him before, and he was his first signing.

We were never going to lose to the Kazakhstan Camel Owners & Goat Herders Association!😂😂😂😂😂
Always looking forward to your videos from Botswana
Sup neighbour🇿🇦
With C team a comfortable win
Acheampong is a cut above the rest he even reminds me of the early reece james days

In all honesty he s not that bad but... At the same time he is
@NorbertNahumEvreuklovic He's a very good footballer. Just not in the top of the top bracket, which gets to start for Chelsea. He'd do great in comparatively smaller teams or slightly less demanding leagues.
Makes you wonder why Leicester would include their best player in a deal like this? Believe he was homegrown, so this deal was surely for PSR
I also feel like I should say I respect his game and think he can come good at Chelsea, but I think the weight of the shirt is getting to him. This is not the player he was even 2 years ago in the prem
@@Nick-ht5yi PSR and money. Competing in the prem is expensive!

Let's just win it!
I like Guiu a lot, his play style, the way he is pressing, he could became a great striker 💙🤞
Thanks for the video bloody George Benson
😂😂
You have to remember that players play themselves into form. So a player like Chukwuemeka that doesn’t get any minutes will be very rusty
Even the youngsters play more than him as they are in the U21 prem
Chukwuemaka just does´nt look bothered half the time. I completely understand why he does´nt get more minutes. One thing is form another is effort.
6th things I’ve learnt:
1: It’s Cold
2: It’s Cold
3: It’s Cold
4: It’s Cold
5: It’s Cold
6: It’s Cold
In the Chelsea app Play predictor I had the score 1-3 with Guiu scoring the first goal. Didn’t think we would be SOOOO dominant with the ball.
I have actually come to terms that whenever Chelsea play they will win a game. It actually feels so good to feel this way again.😊
This game was like a training match for the academy team.
ASTA LA VISTA we all said to them 😅😅😅😅😅 It was great to watch Blues were all around the pitch
Astana la vista
You have to be the happiest Chelsea TH-camr right now. Keep it up. Up Chelsea💙
how is bro making these so quick
It doesn't have much of editing

The boys did a great job

Acheampong, T. George and Rak Sakyi are very exciting players...

IT'S TIME FOR BABY BLUES ACCADEMY👏👏💙🏆🏆💙👏
A controlled game from the C team and Maresca. Motm Veiga
KDH was more direct than Chukuemeka
Bro match just ended chill 😂😂jkjk
The youngers done us proud
Why does it look like there’s a football match playing on the LED GBFC sign?
"Yo neymar sunny innit?"
"No no bit chilly....cold even"
Why is nobody talking about Ampah, genius performance
One thing I learnt is Kazakhstan is cold af
That's why no vegan there. Meat is for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Look at what our team c has done ✅ up Chelsea 💙💙💙
Only 1 thing we learnt was that most of that team WONT be at Chelsea in 2 years, apart from Veiga, Neto, Guiu and maybe Jorgensen
I would put Sanchez way ahead of Jorgensen in the out the door list.
Every time I have seen Tosin play he has been solid!! I would 100% partner him with Colwill.
Fofana and badshil are not good enough!
7:08 he should get a bandana like madueke with that forehead
Chelsea is real deal now
This is great victory of Chelsea kids the king of king 🎉

Aa so cool dude!! I wish i was there but i am afraid of airplanes 😂
I doubt i ll ever be ther
Tosin was the true captain on the field

Marc Guiu is like a young victor gyokeres
Team C and we're still too good for UECL. It's outrageous
For conference league we have Nkoukou. We cannot fit Guiu. This was a special game.
Marc guiu was class today
Guiuuuuuuuuu
Tosin was solid 👍🏾
That particular squad is good to play in the premier league
I agree on CC17 he was too casual I think he has already made up his mind he isn't staying
If George got a green box, then KDH should also get one without Bias 💯
Phenomenal veiw
These youth players should all get a bonus for this win 👍
I pray that we approach the FA cup with the same way but not sacrificing winning
Let's go 💙
That was quick

Guy always plays with his head low, doesn't know how to scan,,we should sell this guy like yesterday.
Totally disagree with George. I thought Chukwuemeka was one of the bright spots with important passes today. Happy with the result
Guiu gives suarez vibe😂
What about Pedro Neto? He deserves the first green box
Well done Cobham Academy
We got one of the best academy in the world come on you blues
Gonna have to loan a lot of these guys. Loan the academy boys (Besides Achaempong), sell Chuekwemeka, and KDH.
Cobham school study tour
Dewsbury-Hall is basically Danny Drinkwater
KDH wasn't bad, he was decent
Carney was not bad at all actually
Finally Guu has scored
He score then
George what you are saying now exactly about our youth team and how good they will be and we will only keep the best of the best I've been saying that for the last 3 years no one believes me look at them now hahaha CFC for life that's why we banned Liverpool from coming to Chelsea training sessions poaching our players as they know we have the best in the world real Madrid say it Barcelona say it B. Munich say it and Paris Saint-Germain say it And so do I come when you blues 💙
They should pick all the best players in all positions in all other teams... To play Chelsea in a final so we collect this trophy n rest
Felt like Renato veiga wasn't taking it seriously. Very pedestrian
Anyone knows what's happening with Deivid Washington? Why wasn't he on the bench?
We sold connor gallagher and bought KDH.. let that sink in
I liked a lot chukwemeka
Good goal Vega but was a bit sloppy 🇬🇧 Gx
Still dont know what KDH is good at
Don't think it got significantly colder in the second half. If it was that cold should have speeded up play. Without Neto we were ponderous and boring against a side no better than Noah. KDH and Carney needed to perform and failed dismally. Needed to make an effort for the fans who travelled.
Neto should get a Blue, 2 assist
George is younger bro to Noni😂
Red box for KDH dude was lost in this game , we miss Conor
KDH is a BACK UP - he's not getting into a team with Caicedo, Enzo and Lavia in front of him, and nor is Gallagher. Squads need a variety of players, you cant have 25 galacticos. I'm happy we've got a player like KDH who knows Maresca's system and is happy to take a bench role and do the dirty work in these sorts of games.
The removal of Pedro Neto killed the game. 🙄
I fully expect noni to leave next season because he loses his place to willian and paez and neto and sancho
I think KDH had a good game. I onl watched the first half tho
I'm telling you kai saying leaving Chelsea was the best thing he could have done, he wouldn't even make this C team 😂
Kdh not even good enough for our C team fs
Lol some players are just shit in cold weather. It was like - 11 there
@@DyNamiC_PulsECarney is way better
He's shit in any weather. Nowhere near good enough for a club like Chelsea.
