Can't believe we sold Ake to buy more some average mercenaries.

 

We bought Rüdiger to replace Aké who’s clearly better than him. What average CB have we signed, sorry?

This season has not been enjoyable at all. Tedious football.

When is Luiz going to feature regularly again

If we decide to go back 4 at the back again, Ake is above Alonso any day of the week

Short corners are fucking shite, for weeks now I’ve been wishing we’d cut them out! Also Eden shoot, Kante shoot, no point putting all the work in beating players then getting the chance to pop a shot off then doing fuck all afterwards!!! Wouldn’t say Ake has been that good either but he’s an ex Chelsea player and people tend to over exaggerate our former youth players quality. Regardless “do a goal” Chelsea 😂

We’ve got Christensen, Rüdiger, Luiz and Azpi who are all better. He needs first team football. 

I was not saying we should be all over him or regret getting rid of him  Just acknowledging he has been quality.

Luiz is injured all the time these days. Really missing his creativity from the back. 

Btw, how do you think Rüdiger has done? That peach of a ball to Zappacosta with his weaker foot was very impressive. 

[Pizy 18,918]

We grew into the game as the half went on but still clearly not sharp in the final third. Bournemouth being very well rested meant that we were never going to find this easy.

[Georgy 439]

If we don't win today at least I'll get to read redcafe and Mourinho's interview after Tottenham wipe them today.

I appreciate you not saying Cahill.

Cahill is better than Rudiger.

We have Emerson now, who is also better than Aké at LB. Aké really isn’t a LB.

Injured or "injured"?

How is he?

Rüdiger is the superior athlete and Rüdiger is also easily better on the ball. On pure defensive skills, Cahill isn’t that great either. Sure, he’s more experienced but he’s also 7 years older than Rüdiger. 

[Amblève. 4,995]

Our CM is useless as soon as we pass the halfway line.

It's been an exhibition match defensively. All the time in the world on the ball as well. Don't have anything to say about the defenders because of it.

[Pizy 18,918]

People actually criticizing Rüdiger, who has been great this season and one of our best defenders. 

[Barbara 15,149]

Cahill is better than Rudiger.

Wot?
Is this another case of sarcasm I lost?
It's not that I think Rudiger is brilliant, but Cahill is awful

Cahill's the better defender and I've been a Cahill critic from day one. I see why Conte picks Cahill over Rudiger.

i would love if we score a goal and they dont.

Please elaborate on how he’s the better defender as I don’t see it. Rüdiger has played almost as much (maybe even more) as Cahill this season too.

Cahill gets picked because he’s club captain. Are you saying he’s better than Luiz too then?
