I like Guehi and think he's decent. Natural leader as well.
I wouldn't worry too much about the distrubution issues in the friendly. He has a of ring rust from missing 12 games through injury at the end of the season. He'd only started 1 game since early March.
The poor distribution from the back is why i'm suprised Braintwaite wssn't brought along. Plus he's a lefty so would compliment Stones. Gareth said its too soon for him but given he was a key part of the Under 21's Euro's win he has more tournament experience than Dunk, Konsa, Gomez or Guehi. And its not like those four have loads of top level European experience either.
The old addage of "if they're good enough, they're old enough" stands for me. Especially as youngsters are normally fearless and often emerge as stars during tournaments.
