Gingernuts Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 If you lunge in all the time for 40:60 balls, you are going to injured a lot. It might please the crowd, but it is not necessary IMO. Hutch should know that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think it was a stupid tackle at all. By Hutch's standards it was pretty tame. The booking was right in front of me, but it was so late I missed the challenge completely as I had followed the ball so probably a fair enough booking even if it was the first minute! The injury it just looked like he had slipped trying to turn and chase and went over on his ankle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 You put your stamp on the game and your opposition, if they cower you don't relent. Snow flake fans should take note and keep their mouths tightly shut ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresh Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Plays his best football when he is playing on the edge. If he takes that out of his game he won't be as effective so take the good with the bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I domt see see the point in him . Crock who needlessly dives in. He’s no better at cb than pudil , In fact he’s not as good. Agree re van Aken , I think that position is made for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally to accommodate Hutchinson and Van Aken (not that the club has to) then a back three is the only suitable option. Lees on the right marking and Van Aken on the left where he should be more comfortably and less exposed in a three. Hutchinson as the ball playing CB as he has a decent range of passing and good positional sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he tweaked his playing style, maybe he would have never got career ending injuries. He has ended up here instead of leading Chelsea out every week because of those traits. Embrace him for what he is, faults and all. Do you really believe what you just wrote? Because if that were true,(and I very much doubt it), then more fool him. Lunging in to tackles has to stop, not only for his, but our benefit as well, keep the aggressive side to his game by all means, just use it more sensibly.

roundhayowl Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Centre half is the key. It forces him to be a more disciplined player and therefore a better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a better centre half than Tom lees, picks up far less bookings st centre half and before his injuries was considered at Chelsea as the heir apparent to John terry.

Rhubarb n Custard Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) We are better with Hutch in the side no question. However if he is going to spend 3/4 of the season on the treatment table as a result it makes him an expensive luxury. If , as yesterday, he he gets an early booking he is one mis timed tackle away from a red. As others have said for the benefit of Sam and the team it's better to stick him at the back. He doesn't have the self control to be further up. Edited March 31, 2018 by Rhubarb n Custard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. He doesn’t make the rash challenges when playing centre half. Whenever I’ve seen him play centre half (always 442) he looks like a Rolls Royce of a player, like it’s too easy for him. I’d have thought he’d be perfect for being part of a back 3.

And Freddy adu was considered the next big star. Means nowt . Tom lees is our best centre half by a mile , followed by pudil . Now agaimst hutchinson, seems a top lad but he’s finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semedo's ferret Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Cant defend the first tackle but Hutch was everywhere for 20 mins. Made several key interceptions while i don't think Pelupessy touched the ball and was chasing shadows. He plays at 110% and on the edge. Exactly how I want him too.

Ronnie Starling Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I like Hutchinson but we looked far better in the second half without him. Like many others have said he would be better used at centre half which will prolong his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err, think you will find that was said whilst coming through Chelsea academy, one for the future, and all that, its exactly the sort of stuff people espouse with no real facts, (George Hurst) in all he made 6 first team appearances for The Blues in 7 years, that is not potential Captaincy in any ones book.
