Benoît Badiashile joins Chelsea

Mistake leaving him out of the CL squad. Should have left out either Mudryk or Felix.

 
I don't think we should over react to him being left out the CL squad.   I think he is immense and will be a rock at the back for years to come, but its about the long game.  Truth is we have an abundance of options at the back with Fofana returning soon, and while it is fair to say none other than Silva are performing at the level of Benoit, the midfield and attack do concern me.

Enzo and Mudryk (after Liverpool) were no brainers for me, and I completely get why Felix is also included.  

It is a shame, but he'll be raring to go for PL games!

True, and I know each has had limited game time, but Badiashile us the only Janaury signing to do his job properly in every appearance, closely followed by Enzo.

 
Nailed on starter material. 

His instinct in when to challenge vs back off is f**king impressive. Shame he isn’t registered for CL.

Unfortunately when we go back to Koulibaly for Dortmund I think we will realize that was a huge mistake. Enzo had to be in the squad, Felix/Madueke/Mudryk and Badiashile should have been 2 or 3 imo. Badiashile earned his spot I think.

 
I actually get the decision. Whilst we have been impressive all season at the back, and more so since hes come in, our main issue is attack. We can keep all the clean sheets we want but all that seems to lead to at best is a draw.

We really needed both mudryk and felix playing to stand any chance of being effective upfront. Also imagine one got injured and the other wasent selected, we are doomed. As much as Koulibaly or chalobah will be a downgrade, our defense and goals conceeded are generally still good, and therefore barring a total disaster we should be able to rely on the rest of the defenders to put in shift.

 
My biggest issue that if he isn’t playing then there is a higher chance of the fraud KK playing instead

Crazy he’s not getting a look in! 
identified as a position we needed to strengthen, a left sided centre back.

looked pretty assured and comfortable in the games he played without being spectacular but definitely showed promise for his age. 
replaced by KK in the champions league team but then for some reason not even back in for his share of league games after. 
KK gets injured and you assume he will now get a run but nope we prefer to play other players out of position like Chalabah last night. 
Certainly could have done with his height and physicality last night that for sure! 
 

would like to know what has changed that he’s hardly featuring now, he must be awful in training! 

 
One of the few bright sparks. So of course, leave him out for Chalobah.

 
Defence was a rock when he played so obviously he doesn't get played after that. In these dead rubber games we should be playing him and Fofana to build a partnership together for next season. 

 
That last window was utterly insane. Won’t use this lad, won’t use Fofana and can’t use Santos. And we’ve barely used Mudryk and Mudeke too. Oh and the lad that is still in France. At least Enzo has played, so only a 90% transfer screw up!

 
Just bizarre. Has all the attributes, but beyond that demonstrated positional play/discipline and reading of the game beyond his years. While still raw, crazy he can’t get a look in.

Yeah ... but then again nothing we do this season makes any sense. So why should this be any different? We play f**king Gallagher and Kante as attacking midfielders/forwards/inverted wingers the f**k you want to call the position against BRENTFORD at home AFTER we signed Mudryk and Noni for big money in the winter. Please make it make sense. I just can`t wrap my head around it. It`s like we intentionally shoot ourselves into the leg just to make sure we create the biggest possible mess.

Oh and did I mention that we use out-of-form Sterling as our lone false 9/striker/forward whatever the f**k you want to call it??? We sign DD Fofana but don`t give him a chance to play so we can play Raheem the Dream for a few more games before we inevitably sell him for a laughable amount in the summer or loan him to AC Milan because no one wants to pay anything to sign a washed-up forward that has no motivation and drive to actually achieve anything.

 
We just don't know what goes on behind the scenes, we don't even know what prompted us to go after certain players, it is almost like the film Mike Bassett England manager, someone writes names on the back of a fag packet and gives them to Boehly we go and pay big money for tomorrows predicted stars.

Perhaps it is panic others are buying so we need to do this too.

Then if the players have personal issues like depression or something do you really think that will be in the press?

 
I assumed he had an injury?

It can't be anything to do with his performances surely?

And DD Fofana , what's going on there ?
