Antonio Rudiger

[The Skipper 20,593]

Really looks like he'll suit the back three. Comfortable on the ball. 

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

I think he'll move to RCB and Azpi will move over to RWB if we continue with 3/5 ATB.  The crosses in from the right half space (our left) to the far post gave us issues last season.

Hope he places either Moses or Cahill on the bench. Most likely it would be Moses. Liked what I saw from him, could be really good in this 3-man defence.

I'd prefer it to be Cahill, but there's more chance of Moses get replaced by Azpi.

anyone who has seen more of him tell me his potential as a RWB? looks a unit as well as comfortable on the ball. Seeing as we haven't been linked to many RWB's could be a possibly shift this season.

 

Id like to keep Azpi as far away from RWB as possible, 1) We need him in last line of defence  and 2) He looks like he sh!ts himself every time he crosses the half way line

I highly doubt it, even if he is decent on the ball. Andreas Christensen is a way better bet, as an emergency RWB... Even if he also really isn't good enough to play that.

Fantastic second half performance. His passing was excellent. 

[Fernando 6,465]

Shockingly surprise about him to be honest. 

Not only that, Conte really wanted him. 

Another buy where we can see Conte has good eye for players. 

Hence now I'm starting to warm up to Drinkwater. Don't really like the guy but I give it to Conte. If he wants him then so be it. So far he has been right in the players he wants.

I noticed that after we conceded the first he approached his colleagues and spoke to them calmly, probably some motivating words. The next thing i see of him is winning an aerial duel on the left half position and heading the ball like 40 yards up the pitch. He is a guy who can take responsibility and lead. we might need a guy like him this season.

Pretty solid debut from Rudiger.

[spyros_cfc 52]

Solid performance :). We need to see more. Consistency is the key guys!

We really need to do better. red card is not an excuse for coinciding 3 goals in 1 half against burnley at home.

[Last Sicarius 610]

I like him, he has good crossing. Rudi-Christensen-Ake(if we can buy him back) our best 3-back in next years.

[Igi26 346]

He was at fault for the 3rd goal. But after that, he was great and I think he can be our club legend. I just see it in him. He has that passion.

It is my prediction. It doesn't mean it will happen. We will all be happy if I'm right

When I see things like this I get soo pissed at our board, I mean the kid so much promise why sell him? We have so many competitions to play we could have certainly used his help

Ake has potential to be special.

 

 

He won't be playing 4-5th fiddle for us. He needs to go where he will play every week.

Tbh as long he plays that good thing. I guess we can always buy him back, much better player than he was when he left. 

Same for RLC and Baker, hopefuly they play week in week out and get in squad next year.
