César Azpilicueta

[BlueLion. 21,491]

He didn't have much of a pre-season (some will say the Olympics counts - but I don't recall him even playing?), so there is no mystery as to why he hasn't played yet. If he doesn't feature against Stoke, he will definitely play against Wolves next week.

Can't really judge him from this game, but his crossing looks good.

Already better than Bosingwa

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Very impressed with him last night. He actually attacked far more frequently than I have seen him do for Marseilles. His style of defensive play will adhere him quickly as he is very tenacious and refuses to give up if he loses out on the first tackle. A very, very good debut.

Where is @francozola in the midst of all the fun here?

As justin would say: I told you so.

Very impressed from what I saw having watched the replay earlier. Was energetic and pacey. Bombed up & down the right flank all night long. Very promising going forward & defensively solid too. What I really like about Azpi is his crossing. Delivered numerous good crosses into the box & certainly does it better & quicker than Ivan! Ivanovic sometimes takes ages to put in the cross whereas Azpilicueta does it way quicker & allows someone a better chance to attack it.

And strangely enough & for whatever reason, I like how Cahill & Azpi covered each other towards the end when Nouble had a free run on the left. Azpi was caught slightly out of position when the ball was played into the space behind him to Nouble. Rather than trying to chase him down, Cahill went across to cover for Azpi while the latter went to CB to cover for Cahill. Good bit of defensive play that!

Branna out Cesar in vs Arsenal? Especially with their speedy midget wingers being about 54954 times faster than Branna.

Did well, but that was a 2nd division team with lots of rotations in, don't overrate him yet

He certainly looks really promising and it was nice to see our full back actually cross the ball in with pure technique and accuracy after seasons and seasons of watching Bosingwa's bird shots and Ivanovic's rockets

Picture of him without that rape smile. Not sure what's better
