Really disappointed reading the Simon Johnson article about Tomori wanting to leave permanently as he's had enough of being on the periphery.
I've heard attitude issues but in truth I don't blame Tomori. He was a real bright spot in an inconsistent team last season and he never deserved to be dropped. This is why I'm unsure on Frank. Christensen and Rudiger have average performances and when either Zouma/ Silva are out they waltz back in to the side. I loved Tomori for his aggression he wanted to win the ball where as Christensen is just not tough enough to be respectful. He was colossal with Zouma last season. We've all seen numerous times how fragile we are with Christensen at the back especially against a big striker.
CHO will be next to leave permanently. Gets a goal or assist then doesn't make the bench at all next game I don't know what else he has had to do. Be a shame really as they're both very talented young players. I would have liked to have seen Tomori 3rd choice behind Zouma/ Silva.

So you are judging a situation based on a few games last season and this season and then you are coming to the conclusion that FL is not good enough? A guy who actually gave this young guys a shot. He is seeing those guys every day and on every training session. If he thinks someone should play ahead then I'm going to go ahead and trust the manager.
James, Mount and Tammy get first team minutes regularly because they are good enough and they show it on and off the pitch.
Tomori should have gone to West Ham to get minutes. If he wants to leave, I say let him leave.

No what I am basing it off is Tomori and Hudson-Odoi do well when given a chance. But yet Christensen is mentally fragile and inconsistent and gets a chance before him. We seen last season how much of a disaster we are at the back with Christensen.
Frank doesn’t pick his players on performances he just has his favourites.

Alright, with that last statement I think you have shown how serious and fair your assessments are.

I respect you’re comment ash k I just think Chelsea fans can be blinded by our love for Frank sometimes. If Sarri was doing this there would be riots 😂 Christensen must be amazing in training because I haven’t seen a consistent run of games from him in 2 years I think his time should be up before Tomori’s. Whereas we were all thrilled this time last year with the Zouma/ Tomori combo. I would try and ship Christensen to Germany in January I think that league suits him more.

have to say i agree with graham here. christensen has never really filled me with confidence and looks weak and lacking in thr concentration required to play in the prem. tomori impressed when given the chance and seemed much more likely to cement a spot in the team .

I would like to see CHO given more games but when he has played he generally hasn’t pulled up trees.
I’m not a fan of Rudiger so I would have preferred Tomori to have played the games that Rudiger has.
I’m not sure how many games Christensen has played this season but it’s not many but I would prefer him over Tomori all day long.
Lamps has been accused of picking favourites many times, the most common being Mount.
Lamps wants our club to win games. He sees the players in training we don’t.
I’ve got a theory about CHO and Tomori but I will save my thoughts until the end of the season.
