Chelsea have released their starting lineup for the game against Hull, and some people aren’t happy with the missed opportunity to play more young players.
Brilliantly talented young Scot Billy Gilmour is the man who everyone wanted to see, and fans on Twitter were grumbling (aren’t they always) about his exclusion from the starting XI.
Some wanted him in the team in place of Mason Mount, which doesn’t make that much sense given that Mount didn’t play on Tuesday, and presumably won’t play from the start next weekend either.
Leaving out Mateo Kovacic, who probably will start out next game against Leicester, would have made a little more sense. But either way, we’re sure we will see plenty of him in the second half, especially if we manage to build up a decent lead.

The Scottish Iniesta on the bench.
Hopefully he'll get some minutes. 🌟😍 pic.twitter.com/f6bRr0Rnh9— . (@CFCBilly_) January 25, 2020

Barkley should’ve started at the #10, Gilmour-Kovacic behind him. Mason Mount is being run into the ground. Hate to see it.
