Sad, i really hope its not true Whether you love him or hate him Cahill is an established player in this squad. He's going to have to have some real stinkers to get replaced anytime soon. Fortunately, we have plenty of games to play this season so there will be many opportunities for Christensen to continue impressing, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase 43,476 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 He's done well in his appearances so far but he was really bad for Dzeko's first goal. Ball watching and didn't track his run from the start. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pizy 15,900 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 He's intelligent beyond his years. Nearly always makes the correct decisions. He's an absolute diamond who should be starting all of our PL games. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OneMoSalah 7,744 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Glad he’s getting minutes still and really like him as a player but there was has been a few concerns for me with him and the rest of the defence recently. For Everton’s goal he really should do better, judge the flight of the ball after Rudiger tries to deal with it rather than just kind of guess and make an arse of whatever he was trying to do. Even before it Rudiger is all over the place dealing with a high ball, the whole airkick/attempted airkick/withdrawn airkick from AC really just lets Niasse waltz past him (ok yeah sure I know he couldn’t risk fouling him but he can read it better) and then Rudiger and Cahills attempted dealing with ball across box whatever you want to call it is ridiculously poor. I know the Roma game was a week or two ago but for Kolarov’s goal he has to go out quicker too/continue going out to him, he seems to be going out to meet him, hesitates, then again decides to close him down and boom it’s a goal albeit a cruel deflection but if he doesn’t stop he gives Kolarov a split second less and perhaps he blocks the shot. Also I think somebody has mentioned for the Dzeko goal, but my take on it was that it really it was lazy more than anything, really poor to not be as tight to someone of that quality, fair enough it’s a 1/10 chance of him finishing from there on his weaker foot (although having seen Dzeko when he played in Bundesliga and in Engiand too he was always exceptional at shooting with both feet) but even then Dzeko’s not even remotely fast, sure his movement is good but Andreas tracks him. Maybe he doesn’t expect him to shoot from that angle but again he could be a lot tighter. Although the team and defence as a whole, was pretty poor that game as well and Christensen was probably the least of our worries in a very mixed performance. I know it’s maybe not much to analyse or think about and it could be being picky but there has been more said about less in the past so I think it’s only right to look at those incidents as weak defending. Anyway as the season goes on he will maybe rectify those mistakes in similar situations. Other than that his distribution and calmness has been immense along with most of the other aspects of his performances for a guy of his age, albeit he has top level experience but he has made mistakes and will continue to do so because he’s young. I hope Conte stays for the remainder of his contract so we can continue with a back 3, as the central birth is tailor made for Andreas and I think he can really bring him up another level defensively because I know for from watching Conte’s Juventus and Italy teams, their starting points was a formidable defence and I think that every team regardless of manager, frontline, midfield is useless without a good solid defence (look at Liverpool). 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milan 17,587 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 If he is not a guaranteed and regular starter after his phenomenal performance, then I don't know when he is. So calm, so brilliant. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Despiadado.Maleante 1,046 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Defence is so much more composed with him there. Iv said many time having 2 donkeys in cahill and Luiz is a disaster. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Panic 57 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I'm really impressed with how well Christensen handles the physical side of the game. He's not very big or strong, but it just doesn't affect. He coped well with the physical beast that is Lukaku. Conte's decision is a testament to how highly he rates this guy and performances like today's make me near certain that Christensen will be in the first 11 every week in a very short time. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zakhov 253 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Solid, does his job quietly but he does he personify calmness. But there was the last few minutes where Fellaini wrecked havoc by being a nuisance in the box. Overall, I think he and Azpi were superb in making Lukaku look every bit the flat track bully that he is. Kept Lukaku in their pockets and also nullified the threat of Rashford (who was United's most dangerous player) really well. He's got to start the next game on the basis of this performance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 That bit where he was caught up the pitch with his back to our attack being harassed by TWO united players and he kept his nerve. What a fucking player we have here. He's the present and the future. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leif 6,006 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 If he can add the accurate long-ball distribution Luiz often has to his game, he'll be more than great. If he stays just as he is, he'll definitely go down as a great for our club, presuming we keep him in the XI. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
