Rüdiger has been a beast since his arrival. I loved how yesterday he thought fack it and had a crack at goal yesterday when an easy pass was on.
I love Luiz but I'm starting to see his what he lacks defensively, He looked so assured in the middle of the back 3. I'm starting to think Christensen deserves a crack at it.
Not sure what Kepa could have done with the goal, had he stopped that it would have been the save of the season.
He did well to get a hand on it.
Same as Sweeper, I like Luiz as well,but his mind does go awol at times.Rudi is settled down now and is long term,Kepa is fine and will only improve,again for the long term.
On a separate note... Hazard needs to facking shoot.. he had a perfect chance at the end of the first half when Kanté played him through and decided not to shoot from 8 yards out but instead try and overplay. He tries to be too clever sometimes.
Thought the same for a while, for someone whose such a good player and decent finisher he doesn't take enough chances on, things have to be pretty perfect or he looks for another option which is both a good and a bad thing. With his ability he could easily get another 5+ goals taking on a few more shots.
Yeah don’t know how he can claim he was beaten easily. No keeper in the league would save that. Unless u feel drogbas header in the cl final was poor keeping also?
Rudiger is improving everytime I see him. Luiz, big worry.
As for hazard the angle and bodies in his way for that chance made it impossible to score. Cutting in was the right choice but it just fizzled out.
It's a weird one, both Mkhitaryan and Joselu goals were difficult to keep out but he can't a hand on both so should he have saved either of them? It's debatable.
I have a feeling Kepa will be good for us, Not great. I'm not expecting him to make a WOW saves that both Cech and Courtois made. He will fit the system and rarely have saves to make.
Mkhis maybe, but sometimes a shot or header is just too powerful. Keeper got a hand to hazards pen for example. Plus he looks composed and I can see him getting better. Exciting times ahead
I think AC needs a run out as he has a good passing range at the same time he has Pace to get back in control if he loses a ball. The one thing Luiz still offers more than any in our team is fighting spirit, he keeps trying sometimes detrimentally to push the team forward
Really? I think luiz is probably our laziest outfield player. How do u define fighting spirit?

Kepa reminds me off De Gea when he first joined Utd, Not the tallest of keepers and very lean. I think he does need to fill out a little.
He's here for the long haul tho, He's tied down until he's 30.
Here's hoping Christensen gets a run out against Bournemouth.

so according to your idea then Kante is our go to player for fighting spirit. Luiz gives the team personality he gees players up in the changing room and is very active within the club itsself, he helps the new players settle in.
So nothing to do with fighting spirit then?
There was been more occasions of luiz switching off and putting lack of energy in than I care to remember.
He might a nice guy and a leader in the changing room, but fighting spirit? Depends what u mean. Everything you listed is not an example of fighting spirit
I read some comments recently from Sarri about his system and way of playing - and he suggested that it would be hardest for the defenders to adapt. He particularly suggested that the older defenders, who are used to following the man as opposed to following the ball which is what his system demands, would find the changes most difficult to adapt to. Not to make any excuses for Luiz, but perhaps some of his errors may be down to him coming to grips with the new system. Sarri suggested that the players were smart, and he was hopeful that they would be able to adapt within 2 months.
