I agree that Christy was just one part of the problem, what Azpi did was just as bad, if not worse than what Christy did. It’s good information and detail but somewhat poor implied conclusion. it was a terrible mistake by Andreas - a bad decision compunded by poor execution and technique. of course there were other collective mistakes, but the worst mistake, by far, was andreas’. with that out of the way, not too worried about it. It was such a bad and uncharacteristic mistake that he will correct that naturally as he progresses as a footballer. Amblève. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Stones has improved from last season, still think he's prone to making mistakes in defence. Go as far to say that based on pure CB talent he’s already top 5 in the league.

Popular Post! Jase 43,479 Posted February 23, 2018 Popular Post! Share Posted February 23, 2018 Conte may not be the best in managing young players out there but it's reassuring and nice to see he has confidence in Christensen, even after the mistake against Barcelona. If Mourinho was still our manager and Christensen made that mistake, we would probably never see him in the team again!

Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The problem isn't with this kid, the problem is Conte's constant ability to drop Rudiger for that fucking donkey Cahill. Let's hope that has sunk in now, because quite frankly I do not want to see Cahill start another game for us, he's fucking rubbish.

Says a lot about Cahill that even with Conte not playing him half of the time, no one has said anything in the media. No reaction. No nothing. Huge contrast to when Benitez refused to play Terry.

You are right there but the point I was trying to make is that they captained Chelsea (captain in Cahill's case) but one player drew far more reaction than the other after being dropped by the manager. Given Conte's dodgy team selections this season, I'm not 100% sure if he's had enough with Cahill. His CB selections in the upcoming big games will be telling.

Wouldn't be surprised if Conte picks him for one of the Manc games. Christensen is more solid, youth on his side, but both highlight what a National treasure Terry was/is.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Gotta say 1st I love Air Conditioning. Hopefully hes going to be with us a very long time. But I was suprized to be honest how nervous he was from the get go. It as the 1st time I had seen him show any signs of nervousness. But he will shake that game off quick enough. But its for lads like him and Ethan that I really wish JT was still here. Its for these young transition players we need to use our old guard. For training,confidence and holding the changing room together. Cause lets face it we dont SEEM to have a really strong character that can go in at half time and say some home truths then build them back up again. Cahill to me has never been a captain and now hes taken Ivans place as the dead weight who was always selected for some unknown reason. We still need that spot filled as I cant feel Rudi there. Someone with a bite who the offence will think twice about going near him but still good enough with the ball at his feet. Yeah I know theres a load of them for sale eh! I wonder what will happen with Happy in the summer. Thougt he was OK today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,315 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Looked very competent initially as a JT replacement, but no way JT would have let their first in today.

Beigl 1,387 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 He has been very good this season, but I think there are still some areas where he could improve. Physically he has to grow some muscle, because he tends to get bullied by big strikers. That wasn´t a big problem in Germany, but in England the game is much more physical so he should hit the gym more often. He should have never lay on the floor like this before their first goal, because he won´t get that call from the referee, especially not at Old Trafford. Then he also has to command his area better. Our defence looks very shaky and with him at the heart of our defensive line he should be more communicative at times so he can sort some problems at the back out. He is a shy guy, but I believe he could take some advice from the likes of Terry for example. OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekinjo 449 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 A great technique, cool with the ball in his feat but still he costs us points, again. Second goal was his mistake too.

He is a shy guy, but I believe he could take some advice from the likes of Terry for example. Yeah totally agree. I think at times too, in the other games, he just looked as if he oozes confidence and maybe got a bit overconfident or complacent at times, sometimes with his decisions to pass instead of maybe just clear it, although 99/100 times he is spot on with his decisions and maybe its only come to conceding a throw in or a corner but like we seen vs Barca, eventually against a bigger side something will happen. He doesn't take as many risks as Luiz and is 10 times the defender in my eyes but hes still got a bit to learn, game management, communication (although I think hes been pretty impressive in that regard a lot for somebody so young in a back 3 with guys who have maybe 200-300 more career games than he does). For me hes been one of our stand out players and will be captain here one day (unless we fuck that up) but few moments like this at his age, with a manager like Conte, who will do what he did after the Barcelona game, back him up and talk him up, wont hurt his development at all. John Stones at Man City, another guy who struggled big time last year under Pep but was always actively encouraging him to do what he was doing, talked him up at every chance, looks 10 times the player he was the season before. Still think Christensen will be a better player than him too and perhaps already is but thats another debate for another day. Its a shame though, because like when you play in goals, when you make a mistake as a CB it more than likely causes a goal. Beigl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
