Shipley Ram Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Tomori not getting much of a game at Chelsea but Frank is making encouraging noises. It must be so hard to break into and keep your place at Chelsea. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/nov/06/frank-lampard-says-fikayo-tomori-remains-part-of-his-chelsea-plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marriot Ram99 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 To be honest he is not a top level centre back. He would make a good Premier league midtable centre back and is obviously very good in the championship but he needs to improve his positional awareness and his reading of the game and his ability in the air to be a champions league quality player.

Millenniumram Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 And so he should be, the bloke is absolutely top draw. Given Chelsea’s recent defensive problems, it’s a wonder he’s been left on the sidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either your drew your conclusions early and refuse to be moved or you didn't go to a game beyond October that season. He was as good a centre back as I have seen at Derby for decades.

He's too good for us now imo, but if Chelsea were willing to let him go out on loan again or we decide to stick two fingers up to the EFL and buy our way to glory I'd take him back in a heartbeat - best defender I've seen in a Derby shirt for a long time ?

I did say he was very good at this level, I've seen him abit for Chelsea and he doesn't seem a top Premier league defender of the standard Chelsea would want unless he improves in certain areas like in the air and positioning.

The Key Club King Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I liked Tomori, and particularly his attitude, but I thought that his most eye catching work was done when recovering from being out of position. That's not suprising for a young centre-half but he needs to play regularly in the Premier League now to fulfill his potential. Certainly one of our better defenders in the past decade but not as good as Keogh at that point, though with age I'd expect him to be better.

He'd probably do us a job up front as well - better than the clowns we have at the moment anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
