Antonio Rudiger

[El P. 1,354]

I get what you all are saying, but have in mind that's always easier to play in back-3 than back-2. He is good, but he would never be this good with his positioning and concentration in back-2. It's a bit relative. Luiz last year looked like world beater, and he is nowhere near that.

I think he has world class potential still. Jumping the gun? I don't know, but what I've seen from him has been very promising. Maybe the standards we are used to is low? Maybe, but if I were a scout I'd tell the higher-ups to keep hold of this guy. He has this burning desire to succeed, I can see that whenever he plays, gives it his all all the time. As we are losing Luiz and Cahill is going down the hill, I think he will play a massive role for us in the years to come. I'll make a prediction that he'll soon have 2-3 seasons where he will be considered among the best.

If he continues to play at this level at the very least you might be right in the long run for sure. I know a lot of people were mad at the Aké sale but he’s certainly an upgrade. 

He still seems to be quite under appreciated it seems though.

His passing range too. He hits them like it's nothing. His inclusion in the starting 11 despite having played last 2 full games is an indication that Cahill has been dropped for good.

He'll return against either Utd or City

Some impressive long diagonals last night. Cahill take note.

Shocked to here his omission was a tactical decision. Conte is certainly taking the piss

I think he's certainly within his right to question the mentality of the team as a whole with regards to why we have given away so many leads this season - we're all asking the same questions!!!

He isn't the one who should be shouldering the blame. Been arguably our best CB this year.

Drop our WB's and I wouldn't questions it

Conte can’t seem to take criticism well at all. Wonder if Rüdiger will now get the Luiz treatment.

Seems that way. Shocked Hazard didn't experience the same after the City game.

Antonio Rudiger, 25, says he has "no idea" why he did not play against Southampton, adding that he was "fully fit" for Saturday's match. (Mirror)

 

[-Kaplan- 410]

Supposedly said in an interview this weekend that it "probably" was due to his comments. He also said he didn't mean to criticize Conte. 

The question is, Is it okay for players to criticize the current manager? 

[robsblubot 3,595]

Comments like that are an invitation to stay home...

it’s not only disrespectful to the manager, but also to his teammates. It implies hes so much better than the the other cbs in the squad, so if he’s fit he should automatically play.

manager is right in dropping him. Talk it over, but the comments are Not OK.

How were Hazard's comments after the City game not similar & warrant the same action?
