My ideal would be experienced defender, Christensen, Zouma and Terry/Cahill for next season.

Yeah sounds good 

[Blue Armour 4,442]

Not bad making a debut, and helping the club to its first clean sheet in 10 games, eh?

Was really looking forward to his start from the moment he got here...Ofc, there are tougher opponents than Villa, but really pleased to see this performance.

Like manpe said, no signs of nerves despite this being his first game in the English league.

[Spike 12,049]

Either play the guy or don't. Forget loans, he'd probably learn more from the coaching staff at Chelsea than playing 10 games at Watford.

[LAM09 7,056]

Didn't have much to do, but helped to keep a clean sheet nonetheless

[The Skipper 20,609]

I think he should go out on loan next year tbh. We need to have something like x, Zouma, Christensen and ideally Terry (but probably Cahill), with x being a really good experienced defender.

Footballers won't love and respect or have any passion for a club if you loan them. It's the new modern footballer mindset.

We will need 5/6 cbs nxt season,if Conte comes and plays 3 at the back

That depends on whether Christensen wants to return. He seems adamant on staying at Gladbach for at least another season.

If Conte gives him certain guarantees I can see him returning.

I'm not an advocate of guaranteeing outfielders a starting place (keeper is an exception for obvious reasons) but I wouldn't be averse to offering Christensen a run if games to nail a place down until Happy is back up to speed.

Quote

Like most players when they arrive at a new club, Miazga had to do an initiation song but it went well, it seems.

"I sang Sorry by Justin Bieber. It was when I first came, the night before Norwich away. It was me, Pato and we had a new physio as well so at least I wasn't the only one up there. I had to do them with the Red Bulls and the national team so it's OK."

Matt Miazga taking transition from MLS to Chelsea in his stride

Sounds like the lad really has a good positive attitude. Hope he does well.

You wonder why so many youths do not make it here,one mistake and you are subbed. Baba got this treatment and is shattered, same as Miazga. Although it was mot his mistake to begin with, as he cleared the ball corectly. For some weird reason Mikel, who is our supposed CDM decided to become a 3rd CB, so Siggurdson was left alone. 

 

Hope he starts next game, again.

Staying on when playing bad often does youngsters more damage than going off.

You only need to look at Scott Carson to see how much mental damage even one bad game can do.

I do agree, but let's keep in mind the fact, that we had a relatively easy 2nd half, but they still demolished us twice on the counter. I don't think subbing Matt off actually made a marginal difference. Personal opinion ofcourse. It is based on some frustration.

Now there's a name you don't hear too often anymore  

[Azpinator 2,325]

How is the i in his last name pronounced? Is it like "Diaz" or like "Niagara"?

I've just naturally said e not eye since I first read the name Miazga, but now you bring it up it's occurred to me that I don't know.

Don't think I've ever heard anyone say eye however and I've never heard Matt contradict anyone who said e.

[Fernando 6,585]

The guy is getting a lot of attention here in the states. 

If he is any good we should gamble more on him as this will be great for the American market. 

That's where Chelsea is trying to grow. Having a player from the states will help. 

 

That being the case should continue to get games ahead of cahill till the end of the season.

Another below average player bought solely due to a cheap price and perhaps with an eye for selling a few more jerseys in the US of A.  

He should be sold at the first instant.

My mate went to Swansea on Saturday, his girlfriend is a Swansea fan and he went with her father, he text me yesterday and said...

"Mate, that Miazga bloke looked like a school kid after snorting a line of coke, where do you get such a shit defender"
