Ryan Bertrand

[Tomo 21,680]

Watched the full game back, he had a few rusty moment but for his full premier league debut i thought he had a fantastic game and with more experience will only improve.

[diskoviolente 425]

Had a handful in Victor Moses, but dealt good with him i think, given that he pretty much was thrown in the deep end against such a physical force.

His crosses and runs on the sideline were promissing. Like him alot as a player, clearly he went to the Ashley Cole School for Advanced Left Back Studies.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Should be a good test for him against Duff today. That will show what he's really made of.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Good to know that Bosingwa will never play left back for us again.

[Madmax 9,219]

Good to know that Bosingwa will never play left back for us again.

How ironic that his stand-out Chelsea performance was in that position against Messi of all people.

My MOTM tonight. More impressed each time I see him. Hes a better general footballer than I gave him credit for, usage of the ball was excellent.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

His timing in sliding tackles is flawless.

[We Hate Scouse 10,260]

Didn't realise how fast he was.

[Jase 43,479]

Judging by his performances so far, he is certainly capable of replacing Cole and be our next LB.

And he can cross the ball too.

[Billy. 2,739]

he looks goos atm hope he can get a few more games this season i know it will be hard with all the big games coming up and no doubt Cole will be playing in them

[Madmax 9,219]

Better than Cole.

Hope he gets a game against Barca, then we shall truly see if he is capable of replacing Ashley against high opposition..

Not sure about that. Playing him against Spurs and/or Arsenal would be a big test now as it is.

[Term-X 7,891]

And to think...

BOSINGWA! was AVB's preferred second choice left back.

[Tomo 21,680]

He has been 'ready' ever since his stint at Reading, why we loaned him out to Forest the following year while keeping PVA ill never know.

I also remember watching late kick off a couple of years ago (while he was at Reading) and Steve Claridge was asked if he (Ryan) would make it at Chelsea, he responded with a straight no

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I really hope his injury isn't bad. Was MOTM for me today, didn't put a foot wrong and kept both Walcott and Gervinho in his pocket all the time.

[Ollie 4,400]

Just like Cahill against Barca and now today, Bertrand will grow so much keeping a clean sheet and playing so well against such opposition. His Chelsea future is secure now i hope and he's proved he is good enough to deputise for Ash.

[Jase 43,479]

Thought he was excellent again today. Kept Walcott quiet and he showed he's got the burst of pace in him when he ran past Sagna at 1 point in the first half only to be pushed down.
