Tiemoue Bakayoko

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Bloke is 6ft2 yet he sometimes looks like a little girl on the pitch. Also his passing is dreadful. 

[The Skipper 20,609]

Guy’s had no preseason and is carrying an injury and still played. Yes, bad game, but he didn’t let the mistake get to him and was a lot better after it. 

Still has to work on his awareness a lot, but he’ll get better. Just love that he stepped up for his team today even though he was in pain/injured.

Can't believe how raw he seems to be.

Does the injury worry you?

At no point to this season has he looked like the athlete I thought he would be. He looks really slow and sluggish. Major concern tbh.

Do you think the board were into Bakayoko before Monaco's last season? I doubt it. I think they just threw money at a flavour of the month.

Positional awareness is severely lacking. Having kante press like a hound, im not sure you want Baka as his partner suring up after. 

Someone said he has the same confidence on the ball as Cahill. I see that alright. I just keep thinking, ARE YOU FUCKING DAY DREAMING OR SOMETHING? midfield is the least forgiving position for that. 

It's like he could be sitting watching the lottery draw with his ticket in his hand. First ball comes up, he checks his ticket, he has that number. Second ball, quick check . . . Yep! On his ticket. Rinse and repeat for all numbers and . . . . . . It would still take him 60 seconds to realise he's won

Bakayoko looks the same too me as he was in the french league. No injury excuse sorry.

He will have a moster game against Man United and these twats will be saying, "Matic who" again.

He did have a shcoker today though in terms of what is expected.

[Special Juan 28,122]

Terrible today, just lauded about the field like he had no point to prove. In his area of the field and his poor performance he should be benched.

Terrible.

[yuvala 2,167]

Really dont rate him so far.. another bad performance from him. 

Not that bad with the ball but terrible off of it.

[the wes 7,212]

the pitch forks are out already ffs guys give the fella time to settle in the PL he's starting in a new country and a new league give him time some Chelsea fans have short memories Drogba wasn't great in his first season 

[Georgy 439]

We got the wrong man ffs Fabinho was right there to get sold but we picked the wrong one as usually.

I thought he was excellent between the Arsenal and Leti games, he's been a bit off since then tho. However we have to bare in mind he's playing in a 2 with Cesc, even Kante looked uncomfortable in the same situation and i personally believe it's 90% of the reason Matic crashed and burned so early, you have to do the work of two men.

However i think Conte is aware he needs time to settle and recover from the injury from his comments at the start of the season, i think when Drinkwater is fit that plan might be back on.

[Fernando 6,585]

Give the lad some time. 

I rate him highly and him and Kante are beast. 

Just that we need to upgrade Fabregas, instead we got Drinkwater....

Although to be fair Drinkwater might be good for squad depth, but need an upgrade to Fabregas.

I agree mate fabregas needs upgraded everytime fabregas plays alongside Kante or Baka in a two man midfield are midfield gets over run I would go for goretzka
