R2D2 368 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 People were telling this guy is a fraud and it wasn't Frank's fault for setting up the defense like crap. Beigl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Did not play in 7 of 8 PL losses this season. Our most important defender! robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,957 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 He scored a goal but he beat Leicester in their heads. He won the mental battle tonight. Hell, he freaking destroyed them mentally. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Great performance from the big man today. He's really getting better at shithousery this season, the Atletico game and today being the prime examples. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 To think that only months ago that we wanted him out. lol He's a totally different defender in a back 3 and has seemingly improved under Tuchel. And then there's the shithousery... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 A warrior and a leader - exactly what we needed. That block tackle on Foden was immense. I also got some huge Ramos vs Salah 2019 vibes from his block on KDB but it obviously was unintentional. You need some real bad luck to break you eye socket on a someone's shoulder. Probably needs a bony one like Toni's lol. Never would have imagined when i saw that clumsy lanky kid first play for Stuttgart concede a penalty and get red carded in one of his first games that he once would be a champions league winner. Incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,185 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Chelsea set to offer star contract extension to fend off Tottenham interest https://www.caughtoffside.com/2021/06/02/Chelsea-to-offer-rudiger-new-contract-to-fend-off-tottenham/ Chelsea are set to offer Antonio Rudiger a lucrative contract extension, which has prompted Tottenham to abandon their pursuit of the German international, according to Football Insider. Rudiger, who was shunned by Frank Lampard during his time in charge at Stamford Bridge, was brought back into the fold by Thomas Tuchel, and what a superb decision it proved to be. The former AS Roma defender was imperious throughout Chelsea’s Champions League winning campaign, making one of the tackles of the season to deny Phil Foden a certain goal in the final. He now appears to have earned himself a new deal, with Football Insider reporting that Chelsea are set to offer him an extension to his current contract, which is due to expire next summer. The report notes that Spurs were interested, keen to take advantage of his precarious contract situation, but have now given up hope of signing the 28-year-old, who looks set to stay at Chelsea.

Henrique 9,133 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Rudiger is a hero. What fans did to him months ago was unfair, but silenced his critics on the pitch. He is UCL winner wearing the blue kit. killer1257 and Strike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,489 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 He was close to leaving the club if you think about it - I was one of those who considered him 5th choice behind the other centre-backs but kudos to him - first for staying even though Frank was pushing him out and for his performances in the second half of the season.

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Frank was pushing not only him but Jorginho and Azpi as well. He dropped them all. And now they are all in 23 best CL players. Kante is best in double pivot, he did not used him there. Kai and Timo not on this list but played out of position as well. Kudos for Mount and Chilwell.
