Benoît Badiashile vs Crystal Palace

Size and composure so VVD-esque it’s scary

Baller. 🫡

bro is him. his stature and presence combined with composure is everything we need. obviously there’s the VVD comparisons but i think he could be phenomenal regardless. #cfc

Rolls Royce

Koulibaly should never start ahead of this beast

@CFCPys Calm and composed, won his aerial battles, solid performance. Hope to see more of him, this wasn’t against crazy opposition

Jorginho really likes back passes my God

He will only get better with time....👍🏾

His performance is similar to Colwill's yesterday. The way he was composed and picked his passes was a joy to watch

@CFCPys Surprise me how tall and bulky koulibaly is but he isn’t good in set pieces , he can’t jump and use his fvckn head to clear balls , he shouldn’t start ahead of this guy for now

We are set for the future in defence, him, Fofana, chalobah and colwill. All learning under silva as well

@CFCPys Better passing range than all our midfielders. Koulibaly still clowning as ever

@CFCPys You know why I like this guy ….he calms the ball perfectly

@CFCPys I like how he always look up to attackers with throw ball, lets watch him against Liverpool

@CFCPys Composure n aerial dominance

Very good in the air. Very calm on the ball. Very comfortable with the ball. Better than Koulibaly.

Seems good With him and colwill, I now see the reason we didn’t splash the cash for gvadiorl

and there goes Kalidu🧐

He reminds me of Rudiger the way he makes those long balls and awkward tackles that put off the flow of oppositions momentum. His aerial presence is going to be key in the back. Solid signing💎

Those passes though and his aerial duels are great.

Ariel presence >>>>>

@CFCPys Do we have the receipt for Koulibaly?

Less troublesome opponent, yes. But overall a solid performance on his debut, error free. Confidence boosting performance. Was always looking out for him to clear balls in the last 10mins of the game when Palace began coming at us

@CFCPys Get me Silva mate

Really solid debut, him being next to Silva probably made him a lot more comfortable. No doubt he was speaking French to him the entire match

I love that he just takes his time then plays

Supper composed and calm on and off the ball

Send Koulibally back to Napoli

@SSRole Wow what a player

I have been saying most of our problems stem from hole from losing Rudiger. THIS is the first clear step to repairing that damage. Same mindset as Toni: no one gets past you. I like what I see and guess what? A clean sheet.

I was impressed but you omitted the part where Zaha and him went for a 50/50 in the air, Zaha won the physical battle and got through, kepa read it otherwise he had a 1:1 on the keeper. Still very impressive though, am excited to see him grow
