Rüdiger to Koulibaly must be the biggest CB downgrade for top 6 club in recent history. Only beaten by Kante to Gallagher

I always thought he was overrated even in his prime at Napoli. Always been rash and clearly most of his pace and leap by now.

The fault lies with the board for having monitored more closely when everybody knew he was shit. And also with Potter for playing him over Trev.

Tragic we even paid quite a bit of money for this 31 has been.

He appears to be a genuine enough guy off the pitch so I will not go on a full hate rant here. Just hopes he pulls his stuff together and

I was so angry when I realized we were replacing Rudiger with him. I called it downgrade of the biggest proportion. Silva signing was , as great for our defense most of the times, really bad for our transfer policy. It really convinced somebody that every player in his thirties can play as good . After Silva we  started signing pensioners in every department even considering renewing contracts to our own . What was behind KK, Sterling, Auba signings? Was that for marketing purposes? Our best shot to get star players, even after their prime? Was that Boehly's perception that football club can be run as baseball or basketball club where average age is 35 or something?

Was Lukaku marketing signing? When we couldn't land star in his prime, we landed another , past his prime.

Fofana had major injury, and even though we had hideous times with our injured wingbacks, we paid premium money for him.

Only Cucurella I can stomach, bad scouting. 

And every one of this duds is on giant contract? No wonder we are singing only youngsters. Those are the only ones we can afford now days.

We don't have money for this world cup wonderkid I'm afraid.

He’s just a bad version of Harry Maguire. My only hope is this was a Tuchel signing that Boehly agreed to despite the data saying it would be a bad signing and it is something he’s learned from.

Honestly think we should sell him this window to any buyer that will pay 10m+

This player is fecking garbage. No way Badiashile is so bad even if I don't rate him.

Oh give him a break! Hes playing a new league and will take time to settle. Silva and Rudiger were poor in the first years with Chelsea and greatly improved afterwards. He seems to be the new fall guy for Chelsea fans. Why not pick on Havertz who havev been playing in the league for years and are still crap!

Man, I was so excited about this signing. And out of all of the players we brought in last summer he was the one I was least worried about. Figured we’d get Thiago Silva like performances and ease of adjusting to the PL. Even when he was struggling earlier in the season I was urging patience. 

But he hasn’t gotten any better. Today was perhaps the most worrying sign. Thiago Silva was visibly angry and frustrated with him. Yelling at him, throwing his arms up in annoyance, and as the game wore on he straight up started not passing it to KK out of fear he’d make a mistake. And then KK himself became terrified of making a forward pass because his confidence is so poor.

Just don’t understand how such an experienced, top level CB can be a total bust virtually overnight.

Hes playing a new league! Thats why. Silva wasnt exactly great i his first year here

I was excited for the signing but he looks really out of depth. Always a step behind and his anticipation during the run of play has been horrible. 

He took a lot of risk in Italy but his recovery speed and athleticism would bail him out. Now that he seems to be aging he's really getting exposed.

bollocks

he had a sorta rough first couple of games, but quickly show his class

And how many games has Koulibaly played signed joining the club in August?  Cant believe the insults he is getting from Chelsea fans. Rudiger wasnt entirely great during Lampards time

Rudiger was inconsistent and made some bad decisions before he hit his good form, but never looked literally incapable of coping with the league. He had pace, power, athleticism and intelligence. KK has looked off the pace and looks like a liability in every game. He made some sense as a signing in a defensively focused 3 ATB system, but if we are playing 4 ATB again (which imo we should) then honestly there is no space for him here. I think it would be better for him and us if we just kill it off now and send him out this transfer window, let him go back to Italy or another slow paced league where he can play at a high level for a few more years.

he cannot handle the pace of the EPL

Rudiger, despite his far from WC start, never really had that issue

Thiago is hardly a speed merchant at 38yo, but makes up for it with the best positional CB play on the planet

KK lacks both

Let's be real honest here,.Silva and KK is the worst pairing in the league, Silva is good but FML he's 38, and next to him is this shed of shit, in front of these too is jorgi lmfao that triangle There alone doesn't have the combined pace of a 19 year old
