Andreas Christensen

Right now, there just is no comparison between Christensen and Luiz - Christensen is still quite raw when compared to the level chelsea plays. He still has far to go.

Christensen voted Player of the Month for December

  Andreas Christensen celebrates scoring against Mainz

Andreas Christensen has been voted Borussia’s Player of the Month for December.

Andreas Christensen received 33% of the votes, beating Thorgan Hazard, Raffael and Yann Sommer to the Player of the Month award for December. Thorgan Hazard came in second with 30% of the vote, then Raffael with 23% followed by Yann Sommer with 14% of the vote.

Christensen has been the talisman of Borussia’s defence, not only in December but throughout the whole season. In December, the defender played the full 90 minutes in each of Borussia’s five competitive fixtures. The 20-year old scored the opening goal in Borussia’s only win in December against Mainz. “I think it might have been the most important goal of my career. It was an important goal for the whole team,” said Christensen after he was voted Man of the Match post game.

Christensen is the fifth player to receive the award so far this season. Raffael won in August, Thorgan Hazard in September, Yannik Vestergaard in October and Mahmoud Dahoud in November.

How often do you see Azpi or Cahill even in the 2nd third of the pitch? Not often at all  

All the time, especially Azpi who pushes forward every time space is afforded. 2nd third is around the middle of the pitch, isn't it? We play a high line so it's natural they are in the 2nd 1/3 most of the time when in possession.

Azpilicueta yes. Cahill no. The onus of the point I was trying to make in that point was more about Cahill not being comfortable enough in possession to play further forward. Azpi is obviously much more comfortable on the ball so he has been given more freedom to join the team when we're moving forward. Quoting it like that completely takes it out of context lol.

There was no special context for this question, was there? I re-read your post and couldn't find anything that changed the meaning of the question to which I replied. You said both Azpi and Cahill are rarely in the 2nd third of the pitch, I completely disagree with that, you disagreed with yourself too by admitting that Azpi does go forward. If you divide the pitch into thirds, then whatever way you look at it both are often in that area.

This next 2 transfer windows are going to be very big for us and some of ou players.

The full back position especially is going to be a hard decision. I loved Happy pre accident and pre Conti but I'm not sure how Conti sees him as important in our future.

We got Andreas and Ake both coming back with the same wants of being a regular starter too. So thats 3 talented young guys all itching to wear blue.

We got Luiz who I think couldn't be placed anywhere better on the CB line (MAYBE as a deep pocket playmaker tho) And I can't see Dave losing his place any time soon. But I would happily upgrade Gazza.

So will the Don with his history of masking up good defences buy in a CB or gamble on waiting a few weeks into pre season to see how the lads integrate into the team?

Theres no doubt  Andreas has picked up a wealth of experience on loan playing regular and in CL whereas Happy hasn't played very much at all plus recovering from a career ending injury for some. So tho I love him I'm dubious.

Ake has been solid. Had a good game against those north London lot last night I thought.

But as we can only use 3 I think Conte will buy one in and I hope could talk one of the lads into staying and fighting for his place.

We shall see.

UEL display suggests Chelsea may have their Terry replacement in Christensen

If he wasn't a Chelsea player Chelsea fans wouldn't be able to control themselves when thinking about the prospect of him joining. Think of Stones, who was supposed to be Chelsea's saviour or something. Same goes for that Romagnoli bloke.

It would be a shame if he never got a real shot.

I doubt he will, as there will always be talk of better alternative instead of giving our own a chance.

Come on home, Andreas. Can't wait to see him in the Chelsea blue next season. 

[Unionjack 7,531]

I still dont know if hes the player we need but open to seeing how he fits in come the summer.

The problem is we wont have time to get someone else if we have to wait and see. And I cant see him staying to fight for a place

 

Andreas Christensen would like to U21 Championships
