Chelsea are at all hands to the pumps against Bournemouth, with every outfield player pushing up as high as they can to try and break down our deep-lying opposition.
That’s leaving us very exposed at the back however, with both Kurt Zouma and Antonio Rudiger getting exposed by Josh King’s pace on the break
The former was forced to make a superb covering tackle just now to stop the Norway international scoring. In typical Zouma style, he made no mistake, cleanly clearing the ball away. One fan pointed out the “Koulibaly characteristics” of the France defender, comparing him to the in-demand Napoli man who we have been linked with.
What we really need is a goal, not tackles, but this was vital to keep us in the game.
It got a mad reaction on social media, as you’d expect:
Once again Zouma has Koulibaly characteristics. No need to buy him. Nurture Zouma.

That's incredible by Zouma. Kepa a hundred miles out and slow-ish to get back. Would've been a goal.

Zouma has been immense with those tackles lately.
