MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Probably deserved. He's a clown in a back 4, but in this system he's looked relatively solid. Especially considering he has to also cover the space both Alonso and Chilwell leave behind. Still need a top CB in regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking nervous is one thing, being bang average positionally and a poor reader of the game, consistently, is another. Bar Silva, virtually every one of our CB's are another Cahill. They need a elite/leader next to them without looking completely lost in a back 4. Edited March 16, 2021 by MoroccanBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Rudiger on his contract situation: Everyone here at the club knows how much I like this club, at the end of the day it is down to the people who make these decisons but for me, at the moment is to concentrate on important matches and targets. Like I always said, to me, even at the beginning of the seaosn when things didn't go my way, I was always calm, like now. At the end of the day, I cannot give myself a contract. I love it here at Chelsea, they will always be my priority number one. Some things I saw coming but then I was not in the squad, I didn't see that coming but I took it on the chin. I was close [to leaving] there were two teams that maybe one I was considering was PSG and then there was Mourinho. I had a chat with Lampard and then I was back on the bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,941 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 He was on a mad one last night. Fair play, he is proving me wrong with his recent run of form but he is always one antic away from confirming clown status. Fingers crossed he keeps this up.

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Kai will be starter no doubt. Germany should go with 433. Neuer, Gosens, Rudiger, Ginter, Kimmich, Goretzka, Kroos, Gundogan, Havertz, Gnabry/Sane, Werner. They play 3421 but in that lineup one of midfielders is losing the place.

Jase 43,479 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 "Rudiger is conscious of the risk of another man coming in at some point and having different plans for the team." P.S. The news above isn't behind a paywall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Being vocal was never Rüdiger's problem so this is nothing new. Also his athleticism and ability on the ball has never been in question. The key will be whether he can persistently cut out the stupid mistakes that have scarred his whole career. In his first professional games he conceded a penalty and got a red card. When he came back from suspension he scored an own goal. Therefore it is no coincidence, he is also the player with most own goals since he joined us. Albeit he has markedly improved under Tuchel but there is never a guarantee he will stay faultless for long. killer1257 and Fernando 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
