Benoît Badiashile joins Chelsea

He was fine to be honest. Some cricuial blocks on Haaland.

Im not going to blame him entirely for the goal, it was poor defending overall and to his credit he did get a block on the shot it just wasn't enough.

 
Did much better in the second half.. but untill he cuts out his bozo moments he will be an average defender never elite..

I am. He tried to be clever with the block instead of just clearing it. Could have avoided it entirely if he just smashes away the clearance instead of passing it straight to Reijnders.

It started with his misplaced pass to start with didn't it?

 
With Fofana ill and unavailable, it was down to this lad or Tosin. That's thanks to the SDs' refusal to find cover for the crippled Colwill. A glitch or two aside, he was fine. Managed Haaland as well as anyone has recently.

Good point, albeit the goal frame helped a bit LOL

Badiashile is also the only left sided centre back we have fit, so if you are a believe in round pegs in round holes, then he should be starting every game !

 
He only played because Fofana was out so maybe did not expect to play or play with Chalobah.

I would like to see him paired at CB with Acheopong for a couple of matches and then make ajudgement.

Amazing how different our season could have been if we had just signed Rogers / Semenyo and signed an experienced CB. Gittens and Garnacho was ludicrous, and another gamble with a striker like Delap f**ked us, we may as well have just kept Jackson.

They're not 16 years old and won't play for a bag of sweets.

We simply can't sign another CB. Even if you remove Colwil, Disasi, Anselmino, sarr. We still have 5 cb in squad. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I view him as the back up to Cucu at left back.

I know we did see him once at centre back, where he looked worse than Malang Sarr, let alone Badiashile LOL. Don't think he's played CB since ?

Don’t think he’s barely played since LOL

 
getting a lot of stick for the mateta chance.. while i think he is a bozo and very error prone.. i do think that he had a good game yesterday and the chance wasnt on him.. it was Neto..who sold him for dead.. I think neto was terrible throughout the game and shouldnt have played in the second half.. but he layed the ball onto his weaker foot with mateta closing him down.. he could have hacked it too but you never know that could have also got blocked.. he tried to turn away but ran into the other palace player.. and neto had run off somewhere else.. Neto also missed a glorious opp. when caicedo pick pocketed their AW.. I think he handled himself really well - didnt give away silly fouls and headed the ball reasonaly well..

 
He is just way too casual...

To me he doesn't look casual, just panic-stricken. Which is how I feel every time I see him on the ball. I think he's the most error-prone CB I've seen in over 55 years of watching us.

You can say Badi need to do better but I am not sure what he need to do here. Neto is taking off 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 so no option on his left.

If the ball need to go to Chalobah, the pass need to be fast otherwise Mateta will nick the ball from him.

Probably Badi just need to kick the ball out of bound somewhere

Every option he has is closed off so he only logical thing to do is a long ball to a forward.

He's old and experienced enough to know better.

Even that long ball won't be easy as the ball is passed in front of him to his right foot as he stepped back to give neto better angle.

Just a very strange play by neto
