It's no longer 3 ATB protecting Rudiger. It's now 4 CMs in front of him

Very soon, it will be 2 GKs behind him.

Agenda must agend...

Why didn't they make UEFA team of the season

Shebi it was those CMs helping him pocket Haaland

nateevs:
Not true. There were a few like myself who didn't get the Rudiger cursing. Any underperformances at the were grossly overstated..... from mostly people who could not see past a temporary struggle.

I always thought he was a very good defender and I am not shocked he's doing well now. I also refuted 3ATB thing. It was bad attempt at the time for explaining why he turned good overnight.

The truth is that he didn't turn good overnight. Like A40 concurs, he was always seriously good.

Good to see you're one of the voices of reason. Imagine someone saying Rudiger was bad for over 3 seasons and I'm supposed to take such weak punditry seriously

His slump in form was well documented and he recovered even before leaving Chelsea. The 3 ATB talk is nonsense talk because even at that he was still the standout contributor

Made Champions League team of the season Back to back and then this season as well.

We all saw how he pocketed Haaland when they faced City but I saw Ibime still talking about Central midfielders menenemenene

People working overtime to not give him his due credit. I'm just glad he proved all the doubters and cynics wrong

timbros:
Imagine if Rudiger didn't succeed in Madrid... What we would have been hearing here.

God pass them. Bad people God pass them

airmark:
Better than Rudiger that was on AWOL.

Even A40 with limited football knowledge, couldn't help but shout the name of Rudiger's saviour.

You're a certified m0ron. What is keeper work for pitch if not to make saves?

I see now why all your player evaluations usually go phbbbbtttt

Your Hummels did worse then since Kobel made more saves than Courtois.

Ibime:
Man be quiet. Disasi probably blaming Poch likewise yet we can see big differences between Disasi and Chalobah performance under the same Poch. Poch defence is much more porous than Lampards ever was

Rudiger aka kpon kpon shoe aka Corporate Shoe had his reputation long before Lampard came to Chelsea. All of the below are from regular Chelsea watchers during Sarri era

We don't need a casual observer with agenda against Airmark to tell us what we watch weekly. Rest.

Let that hurt go Mr Man. No be you go tell me wetin to do

Nobody's fault your man's fat Frank can't coach

You want us to throw away Rudiger's MOTM performances in a Final just because 1 or 2 Chelsea fans on this forum tossed one or two banter comments in the heat of meaningless matches?

Should I spam this thread with Rudiger praise posts as well??

Nothing consign me with all this una kponkpon corporate shoe beer parlor banter. All I know is that time has vindicated my stance on Rudiger.

Since he left your team has been in shambles while he continues to be one of the most consistent performers at Madrid. This is what we know not the other cho cho cho una dey talk

timbros:
Ibime will never agree with you once he has formed an opinion on a player.

Airmark own be say even if the L dey choke am for throat, e go still dey stubborn.

Na him way. I'm used to it by now. All that matters is he prove him wrong before leaving Chelsea and has joined Madrid to continue proving them wrong

swiz123:
Ibime is that elder people advise their kids not to mingle with because they are bad influence. Him and his cohorts has decimated this thread with horrible takes and successfully influenced some fible minded people's opinion.

He blamed everyone except Lampard. When it was obvious Rudiger had improved, he said it was Tuchel's 3 ATB and he will be exposed once he leaves. Rudiger went to Real Madrid and these shameless elders followed him there to wish him badluck, always counting how many games he started just to satisfy their ego that they were right all along.

I pity anyone following the opinion of someone who wished his team get relegated if it means retaining Lampfraud as manager.

Person like Ibime has big problem admitting wrong judgment. I know their type and pattern very well

Vendetta from Lampard failure is what he's transfering to Rudiger and in typical Ijaw man agidi will never agree they were wrong.

I said it earlier that cream will always rise to the top. After the fat fraud Lampard relegated Rudiger to the bench what happened? Huge embarrassing failure. Even the guys he played over Rudiger? Huge embarrassing failure.

Tuchel reinstates Rudiger. Rudiger becomes one of the top 5 defenders in Europe and wins the CL.

He leaves, goes on to success in Madrid. Chelsea defense and all the defenders that were supposedly better than Rudiger. More Huge Embarrassing failure

Roland17:
C. McDavid has made it to the Stanley Cup Finals. He needs to win a title desperately to cement his place in the NHL. It’s funny how no one wants to touch their respective conference trophies…

It's about time. He's been the best player in the league for the past 3 seasons or so although he gets a lot of help from Draisaitl. Their combo is as 1a/1b as it gets

As two of them no touch trophy who go come lose bayi. I don't believe in these nonsense superstitions anyway. Jimmy tried to do it last season with the Heat and it ended in tears

Khanben:
With due respect, that is one coach. If jordan was a generation talent, he would not have gone 3rd in the draft. The way I take it is how generational talent is defined. That is the guy you hear talk about him in middle school, up until high school then college if they bothered to go. At a time when sports media was still in its infancy, the whole nation knew about KAJ before he got into high school.

Chale what are you on about? In the 80s, GMs and the NBA in general had a size/big man fetish.

Nobody believed you could even win a title with a Shooting guard as your best player no matter how generational they were. Till Jordan did

How do you explain a team with the #1 pick drafting Mychal Thompson (Klay's dad) ahead of Zeke

The Rockets literally drafted Ralph Sampson two seasons before and still drafted Hakeem. That's to tell you the kind of Big fetish teams had back then

You're conflating a prodigy with a generational talent. They are not the same. All the laurels Michael Jordan won before even stepping foot into the league points to generational talent. Hearing about a guy in middle school just means they were a prodigy. Simple. Nothing to do with generational talent

By your logic Mahomes is not a generational talent. And Trevor Lawrence is, after all Mahomes was drafted as low as 10th and unheralded in college

Jordan no be generational talent?

A player legendary coach Bobby Knight called the greatest player he'd ever seen before he even entered NBA. Olympic Champion and best player, NCAA champ, College player of the year at 21

God save us from akpuruka punditry

airmark:
A40 no dey hear word. We call him ajakaja40.

I see say Rudiger victory still dey pepper your yansh. Olote agbaya

This your bad belle na him don jinx all the players you dey support so

Ibime:
Stop capping. Any player can have a decent rating in a match just like Bosingwa at Camp Nou

Rudiger was below par for Chelsea till Tuchel. Chelsea fan has already sign posted you to his disgraceful performance against Roma in a 3-0 defeat

The goal at 1.30 below conceded to Roma was Rudiger first 3 seasons in a nutshell

Read that article again

https://breakingthelines.com/player-analysis/the-resurgence-of-antonio-rudiger-under-thomas-tuchel-and-a-new-adventure-at-real-madrid/

I will take that submission over biased takes about Rudiger here.

All signs point to the fact that he had his proper stretch of poor form mainly under Lampard. I don't have time for regular jejune arguments over mistakes that players make on game to game basis.

He was appearing and playing regularly under Conte and Sarri when fit. Again he had no real problems till your guy Lampard came along. These are the facts

airmark:
Raumdeuter's subject <pun intended>

You're a doofus normally so I no surprise

Rudiger has to put you to shame once again meanwhile all your favorite defenders. Manolas, Upamenonsense, Koulibaly. Huge embarrassing failure

Why do you have such a terrible eye for talent man

BlueAngel444:
lol Tuchel taught Rudiger how to play in mere hours before starting him in games as soon as he got the job. E no add up o

These people are just saying anything at this point.

So Tuchel magically just turned him to one of the best defenders in Europe at 27. Does that even make sense

They said Chelsea was holding Hazard back let him go to a big club. He went and became a generational flop

They said Rudiger no sabi. He went to Madrid and became defense generalissimo

Is God not wonderful

timbros:
Rudiger is already disliked in this street so any mistake he did was bloated.

He was decent all through his time in Chelsea. Bad run of form happens to anyone. But because it's Rudiger, he is always under the microscope.

Under Tuchel, the excuse was community defending. Question is, does Ancelotti play community defending too? How come Rudiger is excelling there?

https://breakingthelines.com/player-analysis/the-resurgence-of-antonio-rudiger-under-thomas-tuchel-and-a-new-adventure-at-real-madrid/

Read this unbiased detailed article. Explains everything about Rudi and how he struggled under Lampard and his clueless formations

On this thread people are unwilling to let go of their previous biases so their talk is understandable.

Even the community defending still requires a level of ability to execute. What they don't realize is cream will always rise to the top. If Rudiger no good he will not smell starting shirt in Madrid, no community defending will help him.

WhoDeyHause:
What of in the premier league where we didn't even finish in top 4, champions league nko, how we even won that final was a surprise cause some of us didn't think we will in that terrible season. He was even worse under conte.

And yet he was MOTM in the Finals

The problem is you people will not admit you were a mid team that's why you cannot compete on all fronts

WhoDeyHause:
Rudiger gave away a pass in the early minutes that was not punished before being beaten easily for Sweden's goal I remember now. If low was happy with what he saw he would have started their last match against south Korea since boateng was suspended. Lampard had his problems but he was not really at fault for rudiger, was it not tomori that was shining under him?

Is there match where defender no dey make mistake?

That is merely proof Low did not know what he was doing. Doing gaga shuffle with your CB pairings at a world cup final?

The two matches he didn't play Germany lost. Simple

Lampard trajectory vs Rudiger's is proof Lampard did not know what he was doing

Good under Conte delivering MOTM performances in Finals, good under Sarri, immense under Tuchel, Beasting under Ancelotti

No coincidence he played his worst under the most incompetent manager of all

Ibime:
He was very poor under Conte and Sarri. No tell us wetin we watch. Man was an actual downgrade on Gary Cahill under the same Conte

His nickname Corporate Shoe was coined during Sarri era

This one is cap. Same Rudiger that was excellent in FA Cup Final

No be una website be this? Abi you wan dey whine me ni?

Rudiger was a solid performer. He had the odd bad run and everyone jumped on him cos they thought he had your darling Lampard fired

What are the odds now that Lampard is unemployed the players preferred over him are struggling but Rudiger is the only one thriving and winning major titles

airmark:
Na me hype Boathand wey make am enter Last link FC of Austria.

Where's Manolas? Where's Koulibaly? Boateng has been dominating for Bayern since 2011. Him sef don try

Show us the report card of the frauds you were hyping like I can do for Boateng and Rudiger

Should we play show your Champions League game??

WhoDeyHause:
Rudiger was inconstitent under sarri and conte. His career transformed for the better after playing in and mastering Tuchel's three at the back formation. Rudiger wey gba for una during 2018 world cup.

You can't inconsistent your way to National team and Real Madrid. He was a good player that struggled under Lampard. He didn't suddenly learn football under Tuchel and Ancelotti. Abi shey Ancelotti dey play 3 man backline too

Rudiger only played one match at the World Cup in 2018. Coincidentally it was the only match Germany won

Ibime:
3.5 seasons actually

1 season with Conte

1 season with Sarri

1.5 seasons with Lampard

He took confidence from Tuchel 3 man defence and has not looked back since

Nehi nehi. Your guy Lampard wrecked his confidence

He was just fine with Conte and Sarri

It was first injuries and then Lampard and his defensive jargons that ruined Rudi. But one thing about cream, it will always rise to the top.

Where is the Lampard today? Where is Tomori? Where is Zouma?

Ibime:
Airmark and I are not the ones who christened him corporate shoe. His performances in his first 3 years gave him that title, to the point most of the fans on this thread were wondering if he wore Timberland to the pitch. Based on his first 3 years performance, he was on the verge of going to Spurs on loan except Roman wouldn't do business with them

Like I said y'all overreacted to a bad run

You're even posting link from gossip articles in your defense. Haba. He played well under Conte, under Sarri. His problems mostly started with Lampard.

And the minute you hired a relatively decent manager he recovered

Rudiger will never end up in Madrid or hold his own there if he was not a good player from jump street

birdman:
guy man na chef, any time e see ingredient from akron, na so e dey beat chest

I just dey confuse why nanny queen goat go always be underdog no matter how stacked him team be.

How can you have 2 of the best 3 players and 3 of the best 5 players in a series and yet you're always the underdog. That makes no sense

birdman:
Exactly. If he had been more graceful, it would have been easy after the loss to walk up to the opposing team, shake hands, gist, go your way. Even MJ as intense as he was, e get boundary where you show respect

You can't be braggadocio when you win doing DX crotch chops then scurry into the tunnel like okete when you lose. Nobody respects that

Jordan always shook hands with the Pistons all 3 times he lost and wished them luck in the Finals. That's why he was so upset at Zeke when he took the heaux route with the rest of the squad after their sweep. Joe Dumars was the only one that stayed behind and that's why their relationship has always been cordial

Hopefully he learns that grace is also necessary in defeat because he will still take more losses in the future

Ibime:
Rudiger was a flop for his first 3.5 years to the point that Chelsea were ready to loan him to Tottenham

At the point of signing Manolas was better than him so Airmark was not wrong

Rudiger improved massively since 2021

It is what it is.

Rudiger was never a bad defender or flop. You can't jump to a bigger club off of being a flop.

His struggles were grossly overstated and you can see his qualities shining through now that he's on a quality team.

He's been their most consistent defender this year

raumdeuter:
Belotti from a top 10 triker in the world, Airmark hyped him and he became a bottom 10 striker

Krychokewack from an average La Liga midfielder to benchwarmer in PSG to benchwarmer at West Brom to somewhere in Siberia and now to Arab camel league

Wanyama from Spurs to playing in MLS

Foolishic from a promising youngster that Chelsea spent 60m on to being bundled to Milan

See how Hummels and Rice ended their season once airmark started hyping them, Even th cyborg Haaland that scored 50 goals last season started dropping in performance

He hyped Cuntay and that went from being sacked by Chelsea to being sacked by Spurs

Even Haaland don dey dip. He's now a big game ghost.

If this guy begin hype you just know your career don spoil

Are you talking of this Bale or is there another Bale I don't know of?

Where is Koulibaly and Manolas today? Where is Rudiger?



Airmark is a big disgrace. You will think raumdeuter is just trolling him with those jinx talks, but check am well, truth dey inside.

If say Airmark na scout all him team go don relegate by now. Only God knows the kin eye e dey take watch ball

Someome that failed to be an upgrade on asylum seekers in Lyon and Salernitana's defence.

Our defense is not better than any of these teams. They don't have Harry Kane in attack

So, you want calamitous Boathand back in your team.

He will be an upgrade on Upamenonsense and Oppa gangnam style I'll tell you that
