Kurt Zouma

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Can he play at pivot? I imagine he would be a beast there in place of Matic absence.

Well he can

not that great like Matic, but still...

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Worked his ass off for the team and the shirt. Well done Kurt!

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Fantastic performance, didn't put a foot wrong imo

Wasn't a pivot, more like an anchor in a midfield 3.

[!Hazard! 3,394]

BEAST!

[Madmax 9,219]

There's a missing persons complaint out on a young Danish dude by the name of Eriksen. Anyone check Zouma's pockets yet?

[LAB 1,030]

Nice work today especially in the 2nd half. Zouma will be an essential part of Chelsea in the future.

[manpe 10,861]

Very proud of him. He's stepped up for the team big time this second part of the season and now he did it in a cup final in an unfamiliar position. He wasn't a world beater there but I'm still proud of him for being there when needed and doing a job.

[Milan 17,857]

Another massive test for him, probably the biggest so far, and look at him, calmly doing his job, probably better than we could imagine, even out of his natural position. Hats off boy. You will become an integral part, no doubt.

[DH1988 1,276]

Anyone else feel oddly enough his passing was really good today? Like.. When he plays CB he doesn't pass like that and always telegraphs his entire body.

Essien performance.

God!

''Zouma's main job was to shut down Christian Eriksen, and shut down Christian Eriksen he did. Tottenham's danger man joins Sergio Agüero and Raheem Sterling in Zouma's sizable pockets. Soon enough, it's going to be quite a party in there!''

Great call. I confess I never saw it as an option. Kudos.

[Jase 43,479]

Wow. Didn't see that coming. First game as a DM and in a cup final at that and he managed to do so well. He's been brilliant so far.

[DDA 9,690]

What a player this kid is! Great footballer and a great guy too. The board had done a brilliant job to bring him here. Hats of to Jose to for giving him a chance.

[iseah100 5,612]

Matic better watch out!

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Great that he got his role in cup win. It will boost his confidence and experience for next season...

He looks very promising, more than I expected. One or two more years with Terry and jose will do world of good for him.

[OneMoSalah 8,778]

He gave a performance Matic would of been proud of to be fair. His passing range obviously isn't as good as Matic or Cesc's though but he didn't make it show at all and was brilliant.
