I appreciate Gabbia has potential. But I've known for a while that it isn't smart keeping him as a deputy, unless he's going to play semi regularly. A young defender like him needs to develop with game time. He 100% needs to go out on loan for everyone's sake. I can't think of any CB that goes straight from the youth team into being a reliable CB for a CL team.
Tatarasanu has me on edge constantly. Wouldn't even mind giving Mirante a chance against Atletico.
Theo needs a slap. Needs humbling. Personality wise, he seems the least likeable at the club. The silly screaming. The arrogance in those constant turns in a dangerous area...
Tomori went on loan for three seasons I think, always playing regularly before returning to Chelsea.
I was never happy with Tata. Kept quiet about him because we were winning and he was making some stunning saves, but he clearly doesn't inspire confidence in his defense. Never seen Kjaer scream at his own goalkeeper so often. He's just a really bad goalkeeper and I honestly don't know why Maldini went for him as a backup, i'm sure there must have been better options. Tata is just really, really bad and I can't wait for Maignan to be back.
I don't think Theo is unlikable, it's just a very Spanish reaction to fouls and he's gotten us a lot of yellows so I'm not going to suddenly complain about it. What does worry me and that's something someone mentioned here earlier, is that he seems to get his risk/reward ratios very wrong. Takes huge risks for very little reward potential and he needs to understand not to do that. A dribble is great if you're willing to take the risk of it failing. I don't think there's ever a scenario to want to do that in the way he did last game. Too central to use the touchline as an out, and too close to goal and with no other defender near you to bail you out. Just a ridiculously bad decision and even if he pulls it off, what do we gain?
