He's starting to remind me of Carvalho. Really dislike the guy, and he's rock solid every time I watch him play. Chelsea will be really tough to crack this year.
That's exactly how I see him. He doesn't always play super fair, he often gets away with a bit of shithousing, but he's never malicious and it seems like he enjoys that side of the game.Seconds later after the confrontation with Fred they're hugging and laughing. It aint that serious. He plays hard but fair. After reading his backstory growing up it shows how he plays on the pitch.
Think he often treads the line, sometimes overstepping, like the De Bruyne challenge.That's exactly how I see him. He doesn't always play super fair, he often gets away with a bit of shithousing, but he's never malicious and it seems like he enjoys that side of the game.
And that's why he is a great player, otherwise Keane wouldn't give a toss.Rudiger is just an annoying prick, someone Keane would have loved to put in his place.
I'm thinking more like provoking Savic into elbowing him and getting him sent off. Trying to get a rise out of Fred today after he went looking for a pen. That kind of thing. He's always prowling around provoking opponents but he rarely allows himself to lose control. KDB incident was total accident. Cynical foul, but nothing more. Really unlucky outcome for KDB.Think he often treads the line, sometimes overstepping, like the De Bruyne challenge.
Found Zlatan's burnerBeginning to detest him as much as Azpilicueta.
I think we disagree on De Bruyne, saw a lot of recklessness in there.I'm thinking more like provoking Savic into elbowing him and getting him sent off.

Has Rudiger been good in a back 4 set up?Free in the summer. United linked to him. Hopefully can replace Maguire.
Agreed. I think you can see it when he is playing for Germany. He is doing okay but not on the level he is playing at for Chelsea. I think his aggressiveness is really suited to having the extra CB to cover for him if an aggressive push goes wrong.Rudiger really doesn’t suit a back 4 at all. He’s a decent enough defender in a back 4 and nothing else. In a back 5 though he is an incredible defender and will be really difficult to replace.
That's exactly what he's after. His current wage is in the bottom 20% at the club I think and he rejected an offer of around £170k a week. He wants something north of £200k a week. I think the club should compromise a little here but it seems like the Chelsea aren't going to.Guess it’s that one last payday he’s after. Club he’s at and the style of football Tuchel plays suits him to the ground. Won’t get that level of reciprocity elsewhere.
Having a player like that in your team is pretty awesome actually. I love it when he starts winding up the opponents. He knows where the line is and rarely crosses it in a blatant way. I don't think he's ever been sent off at Chelsea. If he has, it can't be more than once in 5 years.I detest his antics. He’d try and pick a fight with a goal post.
He’s a good player though
Hes 28... probably got this contract (5 years?) - and a contract renewal / extension at 31 with then perhaps one more deal to carry on longer fitness depending etcGuess it’s that one last payday he’s after.

Yeah, was the same feeling with Herrera for us.Having a player like that in your team is pretty awesome actually. I love it when he starts winding up the opponents.

But you have Militao and Alaba and Mendy at LB. Who's the odd man out?Yeah, we're getting him i'm pretty sure
