Zouma is our best defender and Rüdiger can't defend at all Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk Puliiszola 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,957 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Definitely not the first time I have seen him do such a tackle. That was a match winning tackle. Supermonkey92 and killer1257 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 It was the performance in general. He dominated. Not seen a performance like that from a defender since Luiz against Palace in 2017. Should be our first choice moving forward. Even well into next season. killer1257 and Puliiszola 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 To give Zouma credit, he has done well in the last 2 games but pardon me for maybe being cynical, but teams like Watford and Palace suit his game style. I don't trust him at all against the more tricky, pacey kind of attackers. 0007, Massie and Johnnyeye 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't trust him at all against the more tricky, pacey kind of attackers. Yeah, this is the problem. He looks great here but once you put him in against a City or any team that presses well he falls apart. He is kind of like the opposite of AC, where AC is a wimp, he is strong, where he cannot read the game, AC can etc, etc. Last night I actually gave him MotM in the poll as I love nothing more than the type of tackle he put in on Benteke, however when watching the highlights, the only reason he had to do that was because of his positioning which allowed Benteke in. Further, for the first goal he really needs to be stepping out and closing Zaha down as he has Dave and AC in position either side of him. Kepa and James where obviously more at fault for that goal but Zouma did have some blame as he did look to go then for some reason decided not too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were just going on individual strengths I would play rudiger and tomori against united in the cup to cope with their speed. Of course that's in the abstract. Given tomori's lack of game time he shouldn't be an option for that game. So I'd go with zouma and rudiger for the cup final. May as well play then together from here on out to continue to build understanding. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killer1257 3,282 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 He was not even at fault for the goals. First goal was because Mount could not clear the ball, second goal was Willian RJ and AC doing nothing and third goal was Rüdiger and Jorgi masterclass.

Tomo 21,751 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 If we get Rice in I think Zouma should be partnering him until a further upgrade is brought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
