2. Axel Disasi

[Duppy Conqueror 1,451]

Certainly none of our defenders covered themselves in glory today. 

[OneMoSalah 8,615]

Only 2 games and the never rated him amongst other slaggings are coming out. Typical. Seems like the whole backline was outstanding today bar him.

Personally felt Levi was much worse today too but I see he won’t get any flack.

Only outfield player to play every minute so far. 10 games 900mins.

he is a great squad player but I still so want one of the following for our starting right-footed CB (and sell Trevoh. plus we will have to probably deal with the likely perma wrecked crazy expensive bust (so far) Fofana)

Matthijs de Ligt   
António Silva
Bremer
Giorgio Scalvini
Robin Le Normand 
Jean-Clair Todibo  
Mohamed Simakan  
Nicolò Casale  
Malick Thiaw

Well that was a short lived call-up

It’s moved last a joke or a meme at this point. Chelsea FC is genuinely fucking cursed with injuries.

Disasi was really starting to entrench himself in the team and has looked super solid.

[robsblubot 3,225]

way too soon IMO. Same as it was too toon to criticize, it's now too soon to declare winners.

We've played a few weak opposition which we should be beating regardless of who plays--we did our job nothing else. We will start seeing how these players react against stronger opposition, which will be exciting for sure. It will also show who is who.

Not his biggest fan by any stretch, think he isn't Chelsea quality at the moment with his lapses but I thoroughly enjoyed having a two take look and realising he was buried in the Chelsea fans in the away end for Conor's second goal.

He always made that impression on me. he gives his all and is genuinely proud and happy to play for this club. From his introduction video to the first goal and again yesterday. He is clearly not the most mobile and tactically astute defender but we also need his physical presence.
From time to time he has performances where he absolutely dominates the opposition striker, which might infer that there is more to come. I suggest he deserves at least till the end of the season to fully acclimatise to the league.

He has been comfortably our best CB this season. 

[manpe 10,855]

His most important attribute is being fit, he has a pretty much non-existent injury record. Finding a player who isn't made of glass is apparently very rare these days. In that sense I'm all for keeping him beyond this season.

I wish that comment meant our CBs were all top notch and he's the stand out performer... Sadly, reality.

To be fair it might be system-related. Even Rudiger and Thiago Silva struggled heavily under Lampard, before conceding only two goals in the CL knockout stage under Tuchel.

I don't know. The issues Rudi and Silva had under SFL where more to do with getting caught out by being told to press up the pitch. Disasi problem is he doesn't things like not jumping for a ball when it is crossed into the area, or not tracking VVD when he is his man at a corner. That is just brain dead stuff, not sure that gets coached out of him.

Agreed.
He's just so slow... 😕 
Looks to me he will always struggle in anything other than a low block. Unless he's just extremely unfit, but his build suggests he's on the powerful and slow side of the game.
Also not good enough on the ball to do a whole lot other than pure D.
