🇬🇭 Baba Rahman

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Fantastic going forward. Not so much at back.

I find him not that good going forward though, pace is there but his delivery is terrible. Either way since he isn't better defensively could see him being benched permanently.

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

He's got better as the game went on. Liked what I saw, nice to have proper fullbacks playing on both sides!

[didierforever 7,349]

good performance. well played. should start the match against arsenal.

[iseah100 5,612]

Not bad. Not great.

[Thendo 1,088]

Looked abit nervous, but still a decent debut!

[LAM09 7,056]

Didn't have to do much, but play ok. I hope he starts on Sat.

[termninja 5,290]

Looked decent, but I also saw a lot of times when he made a run, and teammates ignored him. Hopefully he'll turn out good.

I will trust Jose on this because he's the one talking with Rahman, getting feedback from guys like Terry and Cahill about his personality, thoughts, watching him train and similar. This is Ivanovic's probably last season anyway so it's only a matter of time before Rahman gets a run in the team.

[yuvala 2,167]

I agree he looked nervous.
Seems like a good option for LB, much rather see him there and Azpi at RB than seeing Iva.

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

Liked him. Lots of forward runs. Good amount of pace.

Made some really good runs constantly occupying 1 of the defenders and creating space.

Would make a great partnership with Hazard once they'd get used to each other.

Hope he'll start but i just know Ivanovic is going to start. :s

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Thought he was rather poor, to be honest. Got beaten too easily and his positioning and anticipation were poor on many occasions so he kept misjudging and getting beaten by those balls over his over his head. Maybe he was just nervous but he'll certainly to do a lot more if he is to become a starter.

I think everyone just wants his performance to be great because we all want Iva dropped, but I just don't think it was, tbh.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

He gave Mourinho an excuse to start ivanovic again, he didn't blow away everyone like RLC did

[Stats 7,142]

So many mixed reactions. I thought he was very impressive. Few dodgy crosses but apart from that was very impressed. Naturally attacking LB. Made several good runs and with more matches think he will excel. Looking forward to seeing him and Hazard link up more. Will help Hazard.

[the wes 7,212]

A bit nervous tonight but he will get better when he settles at the club

[11Drogba 2,000]

[Vytis33 1,271]

First game and definitely needs time to grow into the team. But thought he seemed a bit shaky defensively against a poor side.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

He is already better than Ivanovic and can only improve his game. Come on Jose, take another step in the right direction and start him and Azpi so we can have additional attacking outlet in our two 'natural' full-backs.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

[DH1988 1,348]

Considering it was his debut, played great, few lapses in concentration but our left side looked so much bettter, equally as good as our right side.

[Special Juan 28,141]

Can't fault the lad, loved how he constantly wanted to go forward but his energy to get back was a real injection of pleasure to see.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

He has the energy of a proper full-back. Bombing up and down the pitch with stamina and speed is what we haven't had since cole. He just needs to have better deliveries.

But I was concerned that Hazard ignored lots of his runs and passed to the tight middle or passed back. I guess hazard isn't used to that much overlapping yet, hopefully they play more together to have a better understanding.
