I've been impressed with Rudiger, his extra pace is crucial and he's far more comfortable on the ball then Gary Cahill

Zouma with ball control.

Hasn't he started most games? Certainly more than Cahill

Mahrez destroyed him and Alonso last week.

He’s been average. Not good or bad. A lot of room for improvement.

^^ This.

He's not that bad, actually above average. He'll continue to improve with more game time

Think he's been a good signing

Mahrez destroys most defenders, he bullied Azpi when they won the league

Think he could become a top player with us

To be fair I was at the Leicester game and Mahrez was skipping passed everyone that day.

I said that when we bought him, 24 years old,a German international ,a good attitude and mindset,a future captain I think.Don't forget also, he's still settling in. We have every reason for optimism in my opinion.

Young, quick, strong, versatile and a different type of defender to the others we have. Should be starting every week for me, and can only see him improving

I'd start him in front of Cahill

I think he’s been very good so far, and long term will get better and better. I also think Cahill has had (quietly) a very good season so far.

I really liked yesterday’s back 5 -
Moses - Azpi - Christensen - Rudiger- Alonso.

Very promising for the future. (If we stick to this formation.)

Alonso appears to be getting slower physically and mentally.
Second to every duel possible on Saturday, one step behind the play. New LB/LWB can't come soon enough.

Moses doesn't appeal to me either but currently better option than Zappacosta.

Unbeaten in 9 without Cahill (8 wins & 1 draw).

Really solid defender who has settled well now. I'm also impressed with his quality of long balls, he's up there with Luiz in that regard.

And a perfect reason to play luiz in midfield for me

I like him. Although Mahrez slaughtered him.

Azpi Christensen Rudi back three with Ampadu, Alderweireld, Cahill as reserves

Alderweireld....do you know something we don't
