Antonio Rudiger

C'mon Rudi. You give the manager no choice but to drop you when you go rogue like this. Just keep it to yourself you will probably be here longer than him anyway and I like you :(

Sometimes rightly or wrongly you can't help but say things, a quiet warning should be enough, I don't feel dropping players builds the relationship.

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

I can't be the only one that doesn't think these comments are that bad right?

He's not even really critcising the tactics, just the way the team drops intensity after going ahead. But Conte seems to love picking fights with players.

 
Conte’s coming across as a little bit of a control freak.

First Costa which was understandable to a certain degree then Luiz & now Rüdiger. 

Another reason he’s undermined our season. 

 
he's dropped from one game and people are making stories. he has played a lot what's wrong in resting him 

 if he never plays again or dropped for long time then we can talk

He was dropped from the squad, not the starting 11. That's why.

and how can one interpret what he said a shot at Conte? 

what he said is right and could easily be saying about his teammates 

the press has a habit of making something where there is nothing 

lets wait a few weeks, missing one game is not a big deal imo

Yeah, perhaps it's nothing. Seems a pretty big coincidence though...

It wouldn't be a big deal if we have a suitable replacement but without him we have Cahill playing. Big deal.

It seems the players are tired of the defensive, reactionary tactics. A lot more players have spoken out about the tactics this season then any other season before.

And the players are dead right as well

PL games this season in which we have scored 2+ goals : P16 W14 D1 L1 F47 A14.

When we have scored <=1 goal per PL game: P17 W4 D5 L8 F10 A19.

Blindingly obvious that an attacking strategy that gets you two goals minimum per game yields better results than sitting back and inviting pressure on your own goal.

We were losing 2-0 with the team Conte had picked. Luckily he changed the formation for once and the players pulled us through. Rudiger was clearly dropped and not rotated.

and we were winning games when Rudiger played 

what happens if he plays next game, as i said before if he is being frozen out in future games then it is something to worry about 

you know as much as i do regarding this, i am saying lets not jump into conclusion without knowing anything

Conte stopped moaning about the board so media starts with the narrative that he's started picking fights with the players

Rudiger himself has said he doesn't know why he wasn't in the squad. Surely Conte would have said 'you look tired, i'm going to give you a rest' to Rudiger or at least told him something.
