Fikayo Tomori

Had Salah in his back pocket for 90mins. Fantastic performance... we finally have a CB with real pace and very good decision making. Calmness personified.

And he has technique. He is in my opinion better than Christensen potential wise. Sadly, he injured Christensen though...

Fikayo Tomori could be on his way to a new deal at Chelsea according to Gazzetta dello Sport, with the Italian paper suggesting the Blues will offer the defender a contract running all the way to 2024.

Callum Hudson-Odoi signed a deal of the same length last week, while Tomori has found himself thrust into the first team this season, starting the club's last three Premier League games.

I expected this season Tammy and Mount to succeed because I felt the opportunities would be there for both with the ban and the injuries we had (although both have pleasantly surpassed what I expected from them this early), but I didn't believe Tomori would get much of a chance this season given the centre back options we had at our disposal.

Lampard needs a lot of credit firstly for letting Luiz leave, to open up a 4th spot in the squad for Tomori. There will be times this season we'll miss his experience but, as I've posted before, Lamps has chosen to build the long term foundations at the club over short term fixes. He also deserves some credit for having the bottle to reward players based on their effort and dedication in training. It's refreshing and will push these players on hugely with their development because no one's place is guaranteed and the hard work needs maintaining.

But once that spot was opened up huge credit to Tomori for forcing his way in. He's definitely ahead of Zouma now and when Rudiger is fit, I believe he'll be ahead of Christensen in the pecking order too. He has all the attributes to be a genuine top class defender and he's very comfortable on the ball as a bonus, he just needs experience now. 

Very, very impressed with him and if these youngsters continue to develop the way they have started, by the end of the season they could well have filled some huge holes in our team which were there last season.

Partially agree above. Frank had no obligation to be forthcoming with Luiz though. The role that zouma has now could’ve been done by Luiz - couldn’t care less how happy he would be.

regarding tomori, even as someone who likes what Alonso does, I also see him as a quirky LB, but I’m far less worried about him in LB because of tomori. I guess that says it all.

Chelsea are hopeful England Under-21 defender Fikayo Tomori, 21, will agree a new five-year contract in the next few weeks. (La Gazzetta dello Sport)

It's been a rather shit start to the season, but Abraham, Mount and Tomori have all been "worth it", if you catch my meaning. We have a real gem here. He should be starting alongside Rudiger.

I think he will, he has more potential then Zouma and Lampard work with him.

 Easily ahead of Zouma. 

Now with Rudgier back, the question is who will be second? Tomori or AC?

I vote for Tomori. I think Tomori has more potential then AC. AC should be 3rd CB. 

Yeah I think this analysis might come true. 

Tomori has more potential then ac. 

Think rudgier and tomori will form a great partnership.

I'm taking a liking to this kid he's growing into a good player him and Rudiger should be our 1st choice cb's 

[BXL70 395]

He was outstanding.

[Jase 43,479]

Very impressed by Tomori so far. Quick, strong, mobile and has a good passing range in him too. 

[robsblubot 3,222]

Stay calm... take a deep breath.

he’s been very good and is absolutely a massive prospect, but he defended against championship attackers today and that makes all the difference.

don’t think a cb should ever be in contention for motm when playing against weaker sides at SB.

When you have alonso next to you (or rather 70m in front of you) and still keep a clean sheet you are always in contention for motm

That’s his job... what else does he do aside from defending? He did and should enable players who can actually contribute in attack, which alonso does.

BTW, Alonso's positioning is all strategy esp at home. Heh I hope we don’t return to the ridiculous notion that the manager tell me the player to sit back, but he goes to attack anyway....

[whats happening 1,440]

i always thought he's japanese

[1905didierblue 748]

Man he gave me some heart attacks today. I thought he was having a brilliant game until the last 10 minutes. 

Keep up the good work lad. Just don't make those mistakes please.
