Chelsea and Aston Villa drew blanks in the FA Cup Fourth Round. The replay awaits.
We at Tribuna rated Djordje Petrovic as the team's best performer as he made several very decent saves against Unai Emery's side.
But it's not just the goalkeeper's performance that deserves the praise for his display. It's also Alfie Gilchrist. The young defender started the game at short notice as starter Levi Colwill suffered an injury in the warm-up.
Gilchrist played for 65 minutes and this is what Chelsea fans are saying about his performance today.
Chelsea Youth: "Alfie Gilchrist has gone from being a prospect to a very dependable depth/rotation player in less than a month and I've been trying to tell you this sort of stuff forever."
Seun: "The way Gilchrist can casually enter the team at any point and we don't even feel like there is a youngster in the pitch is mad. We even looked better with him at RB cause of the way he steps up and defends proactively. Signs of a top player."
Johyan: "Gilchrist had to come in last minute to play this game, got the job done & we appreciate that"
Pys: "Alfie Gilchrist goes off after 64 minutes, tonight was the first time we got to see him start and I’m impressed, seems like a good player, and uses both feet which is very nice."
PicachuIsOverParty: "Alfred Gilchrist that was a fantastic performance, he plays like a seasoned veteran."
Zac Djellab: "Really strong performance from Alfie Gilchrist there. Coming in last minute. Showing he can handle the pressure and be more than just a substitute for the last 5 minutes of a game. Someone all Chelsea fans are adoring. Wears his heart on his sleeve."
