Excellent game from him in a sort of sweeper role. His calmness and composure suits a back 3, where he sits back a bit and directs the two youngsters either side of him to engage attackers and he clears up if they are beaten.

He was fantastic. Real leader.
Satisfying to see all these good comments after being poor treated by the whole forum.
Yes, they are not good partnership. But people now call for Tuanzebe-Maguire partnership despite Lindelof was monster yesterday.
I'm out of the loop, can someone explain this meme? I've seen it a lot recently and don't get it
It's basically the pope holding up something amazing or something that everyone loves, as to recognize is at as something that has blessed us. So people put their favorite albums or pictures of pets or Baby Yoda etc in the meme.
Didn't have much to do which is always a good thing. The quiet he is the better it seems.
He's probably our best centre half. Not sure why we should be starting Maguire when we could go with this back 3.
I think it depends on what match we’re playing. For Chelsea I want Maguire, but for Leipzig I would like to see the same formation again.
The original picture is of the Pope
Just don't drop him for Baily. Stop that shit experiment
The thing is, why can't he impose himself more physically?He's not some miniature defender, he's got a strong physique.
Is it a mental thing?

Give credit to Axel and Shaw for listening to him too. He had a very good game. Maybe Ole should get Vidic as the defensive coach to teach our players how to defend?
Really? he looks quite small and light weight for a centre back. Maybe he just doesn't weight much but he also seems to lose in 50/50 strength battles. I think it's best for him to just avoid that totally and try to win the ball cleanly .
Is he more confident with Axel around because he has the pace and strength and also makes good decisions? With Maguire, he knows that he does not have the pace so Lindelof has to do the chasing and he knows he also does not have the pace.
I'm not a fan but his best attribute is cutting low balls in the box early which he did very well against PSG. His passive nature led to a free shot for Neymar in the 1st half and let Kean have the ball for way too much time in the 2nd one near the penalty area.
Was he really that good against PSG, or did he just have barely anything to do sat in the middle of 3 centre backs with 2 DM's ahead of him? most of the ball was being played down the left and right.
Yes he made a few clearances that you'd expect any half decent defender to make, but I don't remember him having a collosal match like some are making out.
statistically he didn't have many actions either.

We have absolutely no idea, we can't base everything on just one game. It's exactly what led to Bailly becoming our CB hero after one or two decent showings.
He was pretty good, at defending, good with the ball and as it seems also at organising the defence (this is however speculation).
I’m not sure what statistical action you refer to. It hardly reflects on a defenders game. But is it tackles etc? Then all three CBs had roughly the same amount of “actions”, or maybe Shaw had a little less:

I thought he was our best player today.

The CB pairing in future games should be Lindelof and Tuanzebe

Our MOTM.
Superb performance.
Played well.
Excellent, also though Maguire did well too.
He was absolutely fantastic tonight
Great performance from him today.
Was good today
Easily MOTM today, just needs to be more consistent
Really? Based on what?
Didn’t really have much to do, our midfield didn’t allow Chelsea to get at the defence much, in my opinion.
The dominant player on the pitch in the 2nd half. Outstanding performance. Defended well and surged forward with the ball.
Because when he was asked to defend one v one he did it. When needed he joined the attack.
Great performance. Defended really well and showed some ball playing skills. His best game this season so far.
Played very well, liked his urgency towards the end too, felt like he was trying to push the others for the win.
More of this, please. Tuanzebe is breathing down his neck and he knows he needs to step up. Great game today.
You sure you’re not confusing him with someone else? Didn’t witness any attacking play by him... had a decent game, wasn’t greatly tested for me.
Great game by Victor. I like when he takes his chances forward and you can see he has a good vision running with the ball when his confidence is higher like tonight.
Really stepped up today after recent criticism.. solid defending and very good on the ball pushing on last 20 minutes
