Why loan him out? He can compete with Lampard, Mikel,Luiz,Ramires for the spot. If we always start 2 we always need 2 backup anyhow. Plus IMO he's a better holding mid than lampard defensively
Time to give Ake an actual chance. He's ready for a championship side with key figures missing. Maybe even let Blackman take goal anything but Turnbull!!
Rather let them draw. If we win against west brom we take back 3rd on goal difference and they both drop points. Plus we have maybe just by a bit the easier run of league games
I agree, he's a flop at Chelsea and will never live up to his price tag or even a shred of it. But If he goes back to liverpool or atletico he stands a chance of returning to the old him that I used to piss my pants when seeing running at JT or alex.
No that shouldn't be the case, a club like us and the money we spend we should have enough decent passers like xavi and iniesta or even close. I completely agree with you. He doesn't take his chances 100% but if he got enough chances a game he's bound to score one or two
Im not defending him in any way but how many shots does suarez miss in a match, atleast 6-7 shots hit the fans. The thing is he gets few chances, and when he does the goalie goes superman on him (al habsi, and the ramires through ball) or he's not in the right body shape. All i can say is he's not suited for chelsea were we need a big guy upfront like Ba or Falcao and even that might not be enough( Ba last week was even worse than Torres had absolutely no chances)
The thing is, if he didn't care he wouldn't be having these problems and play fine not caring about his price tag. But, he cares too much, which by all means is still no excuse for his lack of performance, but he does care and he works his shitty butt off on the pitch
The main thing here is in my opinion is, lampard still see's himself a starter in the long run, and won't accept to be benched. here is what abramovic is worried about, what his impact will be ,when he is benched, to the players.
I'm expecting a chelsea backlash. Won't happen though. 0-3 chelsea with Ba and Lamps starting. Torres come's on in the 85minute so he won't lose any "confidence"
