Good luck to Ola Aina and Bakayoko for their season loans.

I think there respective clubs both have options to buy.

I just wonder with Milan’s financial state will the buy Bakyoko at end of the season. I did like him but was never going to take the role of kante and wasn’t good enough to play box to box, hope he bosses it it Milan,

Hope it works out for him in Milan. With an option to buy, i assume we can't then decide to keep him after the one year, if Milan want to buy him .

In all honesty i had my doubts with Rudiger playing in a 2 man CB formation but he looks class there. Very composed on the ball and stopped a lot of attacks today, no doubt Kante and Jorginho will get all the praise but for me Rudiger was easily our best player. For all the stick Alonso has been getting he was solid today, although there will be much bigger tests and Emerson should still be our starting LB going forward. When Kovacic and Hazard are starting in this team we'll be a real threat going forward.

Only negative is CHO not being involved today though, he offers a lot more to the team than what Moses can and i hope Sarri knows that. Onto Arsenal and we'll see tomorrow when they play City how their defence looks, a lot of their fans have been worried about the possibility of leaking goals this season so hopefully City can knock their confidence back a fair bit tomorrow before they come up against Hazard.

agreed on your assessment on Rudiger, however I think Christensen is much more suited playing along side him. Luiz for me has so many mistakes in him for someone with his experience and age. Christensen is still young and can learn alot.
