"Billy Gilmour has a big future, a fine player in midfield – but the problem is although he is a fine footballer, Frank has a big problem in who he leaves out if Billy is the answer?" Chelsea legend Alan Hudson told CaughtOffside.
"Playing against Morecambe is different from Manchester City, as you know, but this young man looks to be going places.
"The problem with Chelsea is they have five midfield players who are much the same, I certainly can’t tell the difference, in my day there was Hollins, the grafter, Hudson, the creator and Cooke, the entertainer, easy to work out.
"I think Billy should now be given a long run in the team and build the midfield around him and Kante – two players who are more consistent and reliable."
In theory, a midfield of N'Golo Kante and Gilmour playing as the pivots while Kai Havertz or Mason Mount play in an attacking midfield role would work very well.
Whether such a system is used in the next few games remains to be seen.
