I do agree with the sentiment that Vieira needs to start involving Eze more providing he's fit and ready. No player thrives when they come in and out of the side. He was our standout player by the end of last season and bar injury was about to get called up to England. The thing is, I think he needs to play alongside either McArthur or Gallagher as he will not run around like either of them and cannot be relied on to defend.

It's a quandary as we now have several players who last season would almost certainly have started now sitting on the bench. For my mind Gallagher has not matched his own high standards for the past few games, but I do think part of that is having to compensate for Schlupp playing in the middle. Eze can produce slide rule passes which the likes of Mateta and Edouard would thrive off, plus he has unbelievable close control and an ability to glide past players at speed. As good as Gallagher is he isn't that kind of player. What he is is the type of player who might be there to receive one of those passes and one who will run non-stop for 90+ minutes.

Personally I really hope we see a midfield trio of Eze, Gallagher and Hughes tomorrow, with McArthur and Kouyate offering something different from the bench if needed.

He hasn't played any U23 matches at all, don't know why

I hear what you're saying, but it was similar when Roy played him on the left. As soon as he moved into the middle we saw the true ability of the lad. Don't get me wrong, I think Vieira has done a great job, but why does he insist on Schlupp in the middle? He is so much better on the left where he doesn't have to see so much of the ball and can just focus on running, crossing and shooting. With Wilf left, Olise right and Eze free to roam in the middle we'd be a handful for most teams.

I hope you are his agent.

that was 3 months ago, maybe time for another hour

I like him but I don't see him playing for Chelsea any time in the near future. I just don't think he shows up in their plans. No inside info, just a feeling. I think next year it's going to be another year out on loan for Conor.

Success will lie to you but failure always tells you the truth.
