Antonio Rudiger

Yup love him already. Think he’ll be a great player for us. Rarely see him put a foot wrong. 

Credit to the Board, Elemano or Marina who scouted and signed him up.

Had probably his weakest performance for us so far against Leicester, but I absolutely love him. Slotted in effortlessly into the side, so reliable and dominant, and has a great pass on him as well. Feels like he could be one of our best defensive buys in a long time, and the idea of him Dave and Christiansen bossing the defense for years to come fills me with lots of happiness.

 
Personally think he’s had a great debut season so far and think he deserves every game when fit. 

Would think that next season he’s going to be first choice for us. Great player. 

 
Decent player, but he's a bit inconsistent. He's certainly no Gallas or Carvalaho, but I suppose with the current climate it's not likely we'd go for someone that good.

 
He's been a good buy. Certainly provides solid rotation option. He still has time to improve too.

 
I like him, he may even be our best acquisition so far. He seems unflappable and he has all the attributes to become better and weed out any silly mistakes. His growing experience as a player for the national Germany team will help him reading a game.

Our best signing of this season. We'll get to see the best of him in the next 2-3 years. 

Like the way he plays from the back, his diagonal passes are very good .

I agree, i would go as far as to say he is only player we have signed that suits Conte's system.

 
Whilst he was not agreeing with the tactics he still performed, fine if you want to discipline him for one game but Conte will be shooting himself in the foot if he makes it personal and makes him sit out more games + the semi final.

 
Rudiger -

“For me, it’s not easy to explain. I don’t understand why after 1-0 we always drop and let the opponent get more ball possession.”

“I think we begged. We begged for the goal. I think in the second half we can finish the game. But like the last few months we didn’t and we concede. Like the last weeks again, we give them a gift. I think that was the first chance they have.”

While it's somewhat wrong for Rudiger to criticise the managers tactical decisions in public he's actually spot on. It's happened numerous times this season, we are playing well, take the lead and then suddenly decide to stop playing football allowing the opposition to come back into the game

When you have a world class defence coupled with world class holding midfielders this tactic works quite well as Mourinho has showed in the past but when your defence is shaky and you have Fabregas in a midfield two it just collapses
