What's new

Antonio Rudiger

I don't want to jump to conclusion but it sure seems everyone is reporting Rudiger was a massive headache all season long and likely instrumental in getting Lampard sacked:


What a disgrace. Should be unceremoniously thrown through the door at Cobham never to be seen again at this club.

He better hope he's gone before the fans are allowed back in the stadium. We saw the reaction to Benitez, imagine what the reaction will be like after our beloved manager is sacked and this guy has been found out.

 
I’d be surprised if he was doing all of that, I don’t think either Frank or Jody would stand by and let it happen for a start, let alone return him to the starting line up like the last couple of games.
 

He’d have been holding hands with Drinkwater and Alonso watching on from the sidelines. 

 
Going to the board to me is unprofessional, and points to a weak character, but I can almost forgive it. Treating the younger players like sh*t, though, is completely cowardly and he deserves everything coming to him if it's true.

It's just really bizarre how he suddenly appeared out of nowhere and replaced Zouma towards the end of Lampard's tenure. There's quite literally no explanation for it, Zouma has been in great form all season.

It won't be blatant bullying, it'll be the other kind, the sly smirky stuff bitchy females are usually good at.

Does bullying the club’s greatest player make for a better explanation. Sorry but I believe Lamps would rather have resigned & walked out than let Rudiger have his way.

There is always a scapegoat with most football appointments. The press is just running with this because like everyone else they can’t explain how he came back into the team.

 
I didn’t see anyone post but I saw somewhere that Dave and Rudi got into it at training cause Rudi is becoming a problem in the dressing room

But as @ducavis said it doesn't make sense. Lampard banished Alonso for something not even half as bad as what Rudi has allegedly done and we're suppose to believe Lampard not only let it slide but brought him back into the fold, just doesn't add up.

This is one of my favorites segments and episodes of this show. "No, no.. we haven't seen people looting and eating each other, we're just reporting it.."

My theory is that Lampard realized he was fighting a losing battle towards the end and decide to play him in a desperate attempt to fix a broken squad.

 
I think the media are overstating the role of player influence in Frank's departure, I am pretty sure the players being named such as Rudiger must've had conversations with senior members at the club about their limited playing time but the sheer maliciousness being reported seems exaggerated. 

 
Man IDK if it is being overstated or not, but if the board and the club really sided with a few fringe players over a club legend like Frank Lampard then I think that there are a lot deeper issues at this club and I can't see it being resolved any time soon

Whether he's guilty or not is besides the point, judge him on his football, and then get rid of him.

What about before that? He was safely tucked away as #5 CB and Lampard brought him back to the bench in October when things were still looking good, he literally did the hard part.
