Namaste, welcome back to Football Therapy with me at your host Jan. I'll be doing well and staying in clean and washing hands. Going for your one permitted run, trying to beat that personal best of wherever you run a 5k and all the other generic isolation social distancing team. Today I want to do something a little different. I want to stop talking about the news and deals by scenes and the transfer speculation just for a day. I want to talk about when football comes back looking at when football just stopped and where Chelsea Football Club were actually going and had their performance because let's we forget the last two games played by Chelsea, Frank Lampard's Blues was actually really good. Chelsea 6, Merzy Side, Nail, the Everton Liverpool Wind. And also a really important thing to take into account was the catalyst for these two winds, the man of the match performer for these two winds was none other than young, Scottish, international, Billy Gilmore. In a time where silly scenes and his kind of still going on with transfers and stuff, I really didn't want this situation to be swept under the rug because Chelsea looked really really good and it was largely to do with Gilmore being in the middle of the pitch. And there's times of talks of new players, whether that's midfielders, defenders or attackers. Chelsea really need to evaluate what they had going well and how to nurture that going forward. Gilmore is an 18 year old lad who looks absolute flames. He's not a 30 year old who came back into the side and helped the team out and looked good. Actually, kind of like all of Chelsea's front free, all in their 30s came back in towards the end of the season, looked alright. Gilmore is different gravy may and I want to talk about how next season when football finally starts again one day. Why he's going to be an incredibly important figure and why us as Chelsea fans should not forget that and really rejoice and bask in the glory of the un-Scotsman and his little any. So we're going to be talking about his playstyle, what he brings, who suffers in place of him, etc. Quick reminder to you, lot of you, watch my videos and indeed hopefully enjoy my videos.

So I'm sure you do remember against Liverpool in the Cup where Chelsea eliminated Young and Clubs, pretty much first team by the end of it. Who won man of the match? None other than Young, Billy Gilmore. He was magnificent, he had Fabinho on toast, he sent him to the shops, he sent him all over the gap really. Though slight and petite in frame, he has the imposes himself, well that's like the kids from Glasgow, you know what I mean, he's not going to be a pushover. And if lightweight, he gets stuck in, he puts a tackle in, he holds the ball up really oddly because he's so small, but he gets the ball out of his feet really, really quickly, generally. Dictates play, moves ball and makes key passes, carries the ball further up the pitch into the final third and also can play in one of those advanced eight roles as well, which of course he did against Everton. It's kind of like the all-around midfielder. I mean, maybe not goal scoring. He has actually scored some goals for the Premier League too this season. Make out his transfer marks, profile, graphic next to me now, as you can see a couple of goals, a few assists, etc. Not bad, he's a versatile midfielder that can play in pretty much all midfielder roles. But come the game against Everton in the Premier League and Gelotti's return to the bridge emotional moment, very good and Gelotti's Everton as well. They've been playing very, very well ever since he's come in, Dominic Calvert Lewin had exploded in the front line next to Rachaelison. Chelsea put on a masterclass show, of course Everton won at their best far from it and that afforded Chelsea to play well, but once again, Billy Gilmore won Man of the Match. Like previously stated, he started in the deeper role, but he also played in a more advanced role before the end, but really, he seems to be doing his best work in that deep role. Now Billy Gilmore's played a lot, a few minutes in that role already in the season. I've seen him at the bridge a couple of times, live playing in that deep role and he is mag niffison. People initially were saying, wow, he's like, it's his fabricass, you know, he looks a lot like with these passes and the way he gets his head up really quickly, he actually said he idolizes this game a lot on fabricass and in the ester. So we were thinking, wow, this kid's a really sort of like good quarterback, but the truth is man, he's not just a good quarterback, he's quite good defensively in a weird bachulia world. I trust this tiny little squash kid more as a DM than a season international winner like Cessk Fabregas, who's older. It's so peculiar, I was saying this at the time to have this kid in the DM position to feel safer with him there than anyone else. When you started a game, you actually felt like, come on, chill so you're going to win this. We've got tiny little Billy Gilmore at the base of a pivot by himself against the massive strong fast Premier League team. It literally felt like that. So once again, Billy Gilmore wins Man of the Match, two consecutive games, two competitions, two clean sheets, two comprehensive wins with a load of play that he's dictating and scoring goals, not he's scoring goals, he's dictating the play which leads to goals being scored and Chelsea look excellent again. Everyone was talking about Billy Gilmore those days, a few days, weeks later, weeks or whatever it was, but being he was the talk of the town and shouldn't be forgotten. Frank Lampard is a genuine headache problem here moving forwards because, say football did start again and say everyone was fit. You know, if you were playing like football manager and looking at the results, you'd be like, hmm, yeah, I'm going to play him over Georgino because I have to. Georgino has been an incredibly good professional and a good player for Chelsea over the last couple of seasons, but in terms of how Billy Gilmore shifted the dynamic of the entire team and Frank Lampard himself praised him for that, getting his head up, releasing the ball quickly, getting his foot in all this stuff that, well, some of the stuff that Georgino can't really do, Georgino is very slow in the tackle, that's why picked up so many yellow cards this season because he can't really make a clean quick enough tackle, Billy Gilmore can. And by the way, everyone, I like Georgino, I'm a big fan of him, this is not some sort of agenda coming through and you all know I love him, go look at him, but he's a sort of destructive roaming midfielder who plays in a two, so he's not going to go back and play that lone pivot by himself. In fact, we can talk about whether Chelsea should sell in Gorlok and cash in now, that's a huge talking point against Chelsea fans and football media as well for a few months now. But I'm not going to get into that right now. If Frank Lampard truly does run a meritocracy, it wants to be pragmatic in many ways, he needs to play this teenager in the base of his midfield, flanked maybe on the left by Rubenloft his cheek and maybe coverchage on the right, already that sounds like an incredibly good midfield, doesn't it? And of course Mason Mal came into form as well in the latter stages of the season when he was playing in the left center mid role, not as a number ten, not as a left winger, he looked really good, he scored that amazing goal, he should have scored a couple of more wildies that he got very unlucky that they didn't go in. And he's obviously a very very good pressing midfielder, which Frank Lampard finds very important. You know what, so is Billy Gilmore, they're both very good at pressing from the middle, so although I'm a Rubenloft's cheek super fan, maybe if the season was to start immediately, you do look at Mason Mal in the left center mid for the moment, Billy Gilmore in the base and Mateo coverchage, arguably Chelsea's player of the season, right center mid, a formidable midfield. Chelsea of the likes of Ethan Amperu coming back, hopefully, and although he hasn't played much football and would take some time to bed in, I think he'd be the more defensive of the two young options at that lone pivot role. Billy Gilmore, any fan Amperu, think about it that way Chelsea fans, the future of Chelsea's defensive midfield for the next 10 years pass, they're both so so young, they could both genuinely play Chelsea for 10 years if they stay fit and indeed want to play for Chelsea and perform two very different options, Billy Gilmore's more big dictator, so can do a bit more of everything, Ethan Amperu's a little bit more meaning, can get stuck in, but he's still absolutely has a long pass at him, kind of like a more sort of aggressive quarter bag, but Billy Gilmore is the cultured Scottish, iniesta, he's changed the way Chelsea had played in the last stage of the season, genuinely from back to front, and I mean that defensively as well, changes the way the defense played, the midfield function, and indeed the further forwards go forward and attack. One little 18 year old Scottish boy has changed the way Chelsea plays, this is not I think, look at the man in the matches and the results and the opposition as well, it speaks for itself. So it's going to be an interesting one of Chelsea buy new players which you bet they will and football will eventually return, who's going to play where, what's going to happen, are people going to forget about Billy Gilmore, I hope they don't, I hope with Frank Lamper does get the place together and starts doing analysis again, who review how Chelsea were playing in the latter stages and he'll be like you know what made, you know what made us play like this, it was Billy Gilmore, anyway I'm a keen to hear your thoughts and opinions on the young Scotsman, do you believe or would you put them into the starting line up if Chelsea were to play a game tomorrow or would you put Georgina in there, would you play a free for free and play cante in a midfield too, let me know your thoughts and opinions on everything I've spoken about today, quick reminder please do subscribe if you're new and if you want to donate to my NHS fundraiser which ends in a few days, I'd really appreciate if you do that and you've also got the chance to win a Chelsea shirt, click the link in the top of the description, also follow me on Instagram because I'm going to be doing a live today at Football Yannick, that's it for me you know, enjoy the football that's not happening and I'll see you later.
