Antonio Rudiger

[Vybzkartel 284]

He always loses his cool, almost cost us a penalty last weekend too. 

[lucio 5,418]

yep, he always gives away stupid fouls then throws his arms around, good defender but clearly thick as shit.

Rüdiger has actually been our best CB this season so far but of course people will overlook the good he’s done and focus on the few mistakes/errors.

No one doubts his talent and influence. He just has a hot head at times, needs to cut it out before it costs the team.

Luiz has been his only partner, so there isn't much to discuss.  

 

The former has been a cause for concern from the get go. Things have been going well results wise, but Sarri needs to drop underperforming players before they cost us.

Chelsea: Sarri, Jorginho moulding Antonio Rudiger for a long-desired role

https://theprideoflondon.com/2018/09/15/chelsea-antonio-rudiger-maurizio-sarri-jorginho/

As Chelsea buy into Sarrismo more and more, it’s becoming clear Sarri sees Rudiger filling a role similar Kalidou Koulibaly’s at Napoli. It’s a stretch, but after multiple transfer windows of bidding on Koulibaly, Chelsea may have found their own version for a fraction of the price in Rudiger. If he can become even 90% of the player Koulibaly was for Sarri at Napoli, Chelsea will be one step closer to returning to their rightful place among the world’s elite clubs.

He again had his hand on opponents face. Not cool...

You tell em Rudi!!

Even Torres scored 22 one season!

Rüdiger calls on Chelsea forwards to start sharing the goalscoring burden with Eden Hazard

Hazard leads the way but could use some help

https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-risk-becoming-overreliant-on-eden-hazard-as-antonio-rudiger-urges-strikers-to-step-up-and-a3949771.html

“We need to learn to kill matches. It’s not only on Eden’s shoulders. We need the other players to help him with scoring. He has been doing his job very well again, but the other guys must score too – Giroud, Morata, Willian have to score. As a team all of us have to provide more goals, the defenders as well.

“At the end of the day the best scorers are Hazard and Pedro, but with the quality of players we have on the pitch, it’s (the lack of goals from elsewhere) not too good.”

Wonder how this will go down with the 3 he mentioned. I can totally see Willian and Morata having a fit. They do not respond well to being called out.

I think Rudi is a big friendly softie in the dressing room that everyone loves. I think it will be fine.

Now if T'Boa had said it...............!!

Looking at Girouds career stats, it isnt like he has not been an adequate scorer (and he is still in superb shape, even at 32) 

Starting in 2009/10

Goals

23

14

25

17

22

19

24

Then last two years

16 (in 13 less games than the 24 so say 21 or 22 if same amount of games played)

12 (last year)

Now zero so far

I cant believe it is age alone. Maybe, but he seems so fit and work rate is crazy high still. 

Up until 2 years ago, he was averaging almost 21 goals a year in the top flight wherever he was.

In 2014/15 he was tracking to 28 if he played same amount as year before and year after, and that was in EPL for all 3 years.
