De Ligt is younger has played 52 games for Ajax, is one of their best players and is an automatic Dutch starter. It’s not even a contest at this stage.

I love how fearless the kid is. He doesn't care if it is some league 2 striker in the FA cup, Andy Carroll, Morata or Hazard that he is sizing up against. He just goes at it.

Keep at it, kid
 
Makes sense why we aren't giving Toby 180k a week for the next 4 years now really.

The heir apparent is more than ready. With Sanchez and Verts more than happy to be here also.

Future is bright at CB.
 
Dodgy tackle on Hazard aside he was excellent tonight.

So calm on the ball and he seems to have a knack for being in the right place at the right time in the box when it comes to headers. So many times the ball went into the box from Chelsea and Foyths head was like a magnet to the ball. For a 3rd Premier League start he certainly didn't look out of place at all.

A 3rd Premier League start against the likes of Hazard, Morata, Pedro, Willian, Giroud etc. Huge test, passed with flying colours, albeit via a bit of a touch with a call on that tackle. If he learns to rein in when to rush in as and when it's required, which will come with experience then I think he'll go on to become whatever he sets out to be in the footballing world. An absolute delight seeing a youngster like this wearing our shirt!
 
Very young, very raw. And just not ready.

Maybe averaging one chance a match to the opposition? We can’t have that at our level.

Phenomenal fourth choice centre half, but shouldn’t be near a NLD.
 
Foyth has proven his potential and ability, but we shouldnt be overdoing it....there is a reason he didnt make the CL squad, and should have either played alongside Toby and Jan today, or not at all
 
Foyth has already proven himself as a super prospect. In the first half he was one of our best players (5/5 tackles (best from both teams), 1 interception, 1 block, 2/3 aerial duels won, 5/5 ball recoveries and 2/2 take-on's

Poor to get caught in possession but I've seen that from Toby TWICE this season already, so many people with memories of fucking goldfish. He also made a couple of wayward passes too, AGAIN he wasn't alone, it's what happens when pressed well with little to no movement in front of him, then we start getting into the territory of those that say "clear your lines" brigade, well we did that too today and the ball just came back.

Almost certainly Toby was rested today, this is hardly surprising given the fact he's played the 2nd most minutes this season and unlike Kane hasn't missed a single international game too.

Our back-line was under pressure today from an invisible midfield, invisible as it was set-up wrongly, too narrow in the first half (it worked a treat against Chelsea as they play through the middle, Woolwich don't, they use the wings. We basically gave them even more of the wings to them, crazy!!!

Also, this was a really poor performance from Jan, every player has them and unfortunately today it was Jan. Not even going to have a pop at him, Jan has been massive for us the past two seasons and the games he's played this season he's been equally as good, just not today. This also probably doesn't help Foyth having the most Snr player next to you looking in trouble. There were communication problems today, not pointing fingers at any individual because that would be guesswork but there were several cases of players going to the same header and tackle. Auier and Sissoko were not covering each other as they have done so well almost everytime they played (I think this was largely down to the formation through with Sissoko so central/narrow).

Foyth bar getting caught in possession and a couple of loose passes was OK, made a brilliant diving header over his own bar, when Jan was nowhere to be seen. His performance was OK.
