Antonio Rudiger

So now after Zouma and Silva have now two clean sheets in a row, we will now throw Toni again into the starting line?
His last match for Germany was so bad that even German media was criticizing him for his performance.

Zouma has been overall very poor on balance, and certainly is not only NOT the major factor for the clean sheets, but also has crippled us on offence and put us in danger multiple times with his shit passing and ball play.

Solid comeback. Kept things simple. The game was alright for him as he helped keeping a clean sheet + Silva fresh. But he really is a ticking time bomb. Today we were lucky we were playing such a poor side overall. But Rüdiger and Zouma made Krasnodars anyway slow attack look like absolute sloths.

And we are on the brink of selling Tomori...

I wonder why nobody has talked about Matt Law and his comments on Toni. 

I have wondered if it was true or not.

I guess it is well known he is an outspoken and influential character in the dressing room. Tuchel was wise to get him on his side early.

But we know that Rüdiger's qualities on the pitch do not quite match his attitude. Seriously doubt he will again be an undisputed starter in the long term.

Anyway, good to have you back!

I think he meant the story about Rudiger bullying the younger players, clashing with Azpi etc? 

If so, that has been rebutted by Abraham, Azpi etc.

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.

Like with Christensen I'd want to see him get an extended run with Mendy behind him before 100% coming to that conclusion. 

Even Silva would have looked nervous with Kepa or Willy behind him, his debut at West Brom a glimpse as to how different his time here could have been like without Edou.

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.

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
