Rudiger has been woeful today. Argueably responsible for the first and can’t shepard danger at all! Won’t be a popular opinion, but I think we can do a lot better. Himself and Luiz are too rash and constantly leave us exposed at centre back.

we got the job done either way.

We win at a very difficult ground and you post toxic negativity? Why? Do you really support Chelsea? I think we all know the answer to that. 😉😉😉😉.

Not Rudigers best game but Luiz was class.

26 Dec 2018 21:32:19
One bad game. he’s been brilliant all season.

nice to see odoi get some time on the pitch also and kovacic really looked good today. weak link marcos alonso and a lack of a number 9 but feck negativity that was an awsome result.

This has been my long standing opinion since last year with Rudiger. He's very rash and doesn't see danger. In terms of putting his body on the line he's great, but that's really all, in my opinion. Also it's not toxic to point out flaws, it's constructive criticism.

Rudiger gas been phenomenal all season. What have you been watching. One off game and out comes the criticism. He doesn't see danger? Are you having a laugh mate.

27 Dec 2018 09:32:56
So you prefer your defenders lunging all over the place, flying into tackles instead of shepparding danger? Fair enough, I prefer mine to see danger early. In my opinion, he doesn’t see danger early enough and therefore is always sliding in late in the box putting us at risk of conceding penalties and we’ll as fouls around the box. What was is Maldini said “If you have to make a sliding tackle, you’ve already made a mistake. ”.

Don’t know what you have been watching but Rudiger has been our best defender this year he’s bailed us out loads this season. He lunged once yesterday and got done, if he didn’t and the player would of scored we would be all saying why didn’t he do anything! Rudiger is the wrong player to criticise at the min mate.

It’s my opinion regarding Rudiger, doesn’t mean you have to agreee with me. He’s not the only one at fault; Jorginho’s lack of pace is becoming an issue as well as Alonso’s lack of disclipline at left back. I’ve always been a huge Willian fan for his work rate but he’s not the player he was.

I think Rudiger has been one of our best players so far this season and I think his problem is similar to Dave's, they get dragged out of position covering for Luiz and Alonso. Luiz is a booking waiting to happen and I think lucky a number of times with his tackling and Alonso I love going forwrd but that exposes his lack of pace to get back to his day job, defending. Thank God for Hazard, a one man forward line and I hope the rumours about Morata and Higuain are true as lack og goals from midfield and other forwards is a massive problem. It is clear Hudson-Odoi is a real talent but I don't think he is ready for lengthy premiership football although I thought it was harsh taking him off and would do nothing for his confidence.

JD, are the other seven who started on Boxing Day OK?

27 Dec 2018 20:35:06
Lol I find it laughable that Rudiger is being criticised. The man bails our whole defence out, he covers for more than one. His usually covering for Alonso and Luiz when the latter bombs forward. Some of our fans are oblivious.

28 Dec 2018 09:52:59
Ok, fair enough, we've got different opinions. All ways a great place to share your views.

Same team as Leicester and same problems, just no goal threat. We’re in need of a world class striker, goal scoring winger, world class centre back and a quality left back. Glad to see CHO coming on now, hopefully he has a big second half.

26 Dec 2018 21:28:11
no goal threat but hazard turns on the style its apparent he's the only man in the team capable of a goal absoloutely top class for him today.

26 Dec 2018 20:11:33
please santy get us a number9 haha.

26 Dec 2018 17:24:23
It's now a 3 horse race for title and 3 horse race for 4th, united gaining bit of momentum, a win v Watford is a must,

26 Dec 2018 18:16:56
Or maybe this should just tell us how quickly things can change in football. Still a long way to go, nothing is set in stone.

26 Dec 2018 21:47:55
