What's new

Antonio Rudiger

While I think it's nice to see players coming out in support, I hardly think it refutes some of the accusations. The club wouldn't particularly like to see the perception that a player is a bully or engaged in bullying.

Maybe it is genuine or maybe it's a bit of PR damage control. Who knows?

I never felt Rudiger is the type of person who would do anything to harm the team. He is frustrated for sure. Everyone knows he is along with Alonso and Emerson for example. That was the reality in summer where Frank and the team signed in for the new season. They knew the squad is too big but they still continued work and hoped for the best. 

If a single player disrupts the scene in general you have to handle it. If you don't you are to blame as much as that player. This underlines the difficulty of being a manager of 25 young men. They are driven and looking for their own interests as everyone do. Looming European Championships and so on. 

My only problem with Rudiger is his level as a footballer. It seems he is not the level we need. It is interesting to see whether Tuchel has an impact over him. Usually happens with compatriots working together. 

 
What ever the truth in this story, Rudiger is a very lucky boy there’s no fans at the bridge tonight, as he probably would of got some sh*t

 
When you see people getting abuse online you always need to put it in perspective. It is not the same abuse you would get facing the person on the streets. Most probably a couple of 13 year olds starts the abuse and when their friends think it is funny they reply. Media picks it up and you have yourself a story. "Rudiger was abused online". Yes, abused online by some anonymous children. 

I am pretty sure Rudiger doesn't read or mind. He continues with his life as he should.

Why would Azpilicueta lie about it? If he truly stood up for Lampards honour and got heated with Rudiger, the last thing he's going to do is post a picture like that and claim the rumours are nonsense after Rudiger just got the manager sacked.

They are all trying to pin the blame on someone else other than Lampard who is responsible for getting the team playing.

 
I think the whole thing is overblown. Even if someone like Rudiger expressed that he was unhappy that's totally normal since we have been really underperforming...

Maybe. I'm not convinced these social-media 'fans' are all that representative of our loyal, match-going supporters. Although thinking back to those "Rats out" banners directed at Hazard, etc, a few years ago, that may be wishful thinking on my part.

 
Its actually quiet disguesting thinking about it, abusing a player because you think he got your hero sacked.

Happened before and will probably happen again here.Just remember 2015 and Mourinho when some players were labeled snakes and rats and what not.Personally I have nothing against Rudiger,Kepa,Alonso or any other player.I would love if Tuchel could get them playing on their highest level.It's like people have something against them and just want to try and make things up so that they leave.

Also there was 2012 when Lampard himself was the scapegoat when AVB's 'project' hit the skids, some went as far as saying he wasn't a legend anymore.

It's just the media stirring sh*t more than anything, not to defend Lampard, they would throw him under the bus just as much. 

 
One of the so-call more active Twitter Chelsea supporters CareFreeYouth who claims to have a source at the club has deleted all his tweets.
 This user doubled down on the Rudi story being true because "the source" at Chelsea told him so. Since Tammy and Azpi came out and said it wasn't, they have since deleted all their tweets.

Can i ask how do you know what he posted if it's deleted?

 
I just find it ironic that some people who tell us not to believe these people on twitter, keep telling us whats being said on twitter.

No, you are 100% correct. Its ridiculous how unregulated it is, makes me laugh when people on here claim some random bloke with an Italian name on twitter is in the know.

I think my favourite story was how one twitter user posted a load of tweets claiming some cup competition draw was fixed and he had posted the draw before it was made. What he had in fact done was post every conceivable draw possible then deleted the wrong ones. Loads of people fell for it 😂

 
Problem when you sign Alpha male types like Rudiger, is that if they don’t end up being quality players, you always have a problem. Like situations in life, work, school whatever it is, if you’re in the group with a mediocre alpha, they will still have a big influence, a negative one if the talent isn’t there.
