It's your time Andreas ! Shine and show your qualities, I think he has a great opportunity for show to Conte, that he will can count on him this season and to do him play often more. 

“We have a clear example with Christensen,” Conte said. “Christensen played on loan at Borussia Moenchengladbach and now he's in our squad. He has played [almost] every game, not against Everton, and now he's ready to play. Ready to play in the Champions League. Ready to play from the start with Chelsea. I think, for the young players, it's very important to find the right path for them. To try to make them good experience and then to be ready to play for Chelsea.”

Been on the Christensen hype train for a while. Luiz should be looking over his shoulder

He is going to be CLASS!!!

Have to say he is our only cb who has done 0 mistakes. Very classy and our next everpresent.

Always impressed from Christensen, he give really lot of calm on the pitch ! Excited for his forthcoming games

His calmness and touch on the ball is impressive for a young defender. 

At last we seem to have handled the development of a youngster to our benefit. Of course, a lot of that has to do with the ability of the youngster and how he progresses but it is so pleasing so see this looking like things are going to turn out well.

I know we've already mentioned it but just imagine if we had spunked £50M on Stones when Mourinho was so desperate to sign him. That would have pretty much halted Christensen's career at CFC before it had even begun. For whatever reason that fell through we need to be thankful.

 

 

Absolutely love Christensen, I can't fault him at all. Great athleticism, excellent on the ball, reads the game well and love his mentality - cool, calm, collected. Proper Scandinavian.

Cahill not Luiz

Andreas is coming for that center spot. Rudiger and Dave have the outside on lock. He's better suited to be that center player anyway

The boy ain't too bad, eh? He'll be dropped for the CL game midweek but I think he deserves a regular place in our squad.

Except Luiz is a better defender

Most on here will agree with you. I think both have their own merits.  In terms of backs against the wall defensive ability Cahill is my choice. Pressing an opponent and going forward, Luiz  is the better choice. Both are capable of major cocks ups. Neither is world class. But both give us all they have. I'm glad we have them.

He's spectacular.

If Cahill wasn't English and didn't have the history he has with us there's no way he'd be in over Christensen.

On merit he doesn't deserve to be on the bench - gets better every time I see him play. Ice cool.

 

Starting to look solid and dependable. Always seems to make the right choices, has a footballers head, which buys him time.

His ability at his age is outrageous. The consistent game time out on loan made him into a great player a few years ahead of time.

That back 3 today should be our back three for years to come. Having Cahill and luiz as back up over the next few years would be nice.

It's salivating isn't it. Those 3 could be playing together for a while and it's fantastic. Rudiger has been a surprise but Christensen has been doing this in Germany for a while. I have a hard time thinking of how he gets left out of the team going forward if he keeps on. He's what John Stones was supposed to be. 

Yeah agree with all the praise, he looks quality. Calm and composed.

where are the doubters?

Apparently he was not going to feature at all this season.

And to think were about to splash £50m on stones and even more on Van Dijk. I’m hoping the emergence of Christensen will mean the manager and board having more faith in our youngsters and not spending insane money. Hopefully Musonda will turn out good too.

If anything I'm disappointed he hasn't been made captain yet. If he keeps this up it won't be too long, can see it happening.
