I'm thinking right now, Azpi's original position is LB. It has been his position since last 2 years, and he is damn good in this, no point risking him back to RB.

But he ruins so much build-up, especially as oscar and cahill play alot too. A

Do people remember azpi playing rb?

He was never really anything special going forward,so, I'm a bit confused why people think it's night or day with his ability going forward or maybe everyone just wants ivan dropped in place of luis.

he would be able to move the ball quickly. Instead of checking back and playing a square balll.

He was never special, but he was still fine in possession. At LB, even under minimum pressure he just hoofs the ball forward. He's definitely not as comfortable in possession on the left. On the right, he was always able to find a pass and keep possession, even if it was a simple pass.

Has more to do with Luis being something special going forward and Azpi being a better defender than Ivanovic.

Luis is nothing special offensively, Ashley Cole was something special in his prime. And Luis is nowhere near that level. Dave is also a better defender than him.

Ivanovic is playing with more freedom because our right wing is horrible going forward, so we try to overload on the right and let Hazard do his magic on the left. Not that difficult to understand, we've seen Branislav being brilliant deffensively when he is instructed to stay back.

Pure myth. Ivanovic's biggest weakness defensively is his inability to maintain concentration, so whether he sits back or goes forward he is always a liability.

By himself he isn't, but link him up with Hazard and all of a sudden we have a world class attack pairing on the left. Also, Filipe is no slouch defensively.

Ivanovic is an absolute liability defensively.

He's just so bad on the ball it hurts. It's hard to fault him when his own manager is the one sabotaging him though. Still doesn't make it any easier to watch his displays especially when the likes of Lahm, Alaba, Marcelo, Rodriguez, Luis etc exist
