Muzchap 8,966 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Agreed - he can also score as well - he scored a few in Pre-Season and looked dangerous...I love how he's been written off so quickly.... Can't wait for him to get a run of games and shove that bullshit back down 'our so called fans' throats...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 The real disappointment yesterday was for about 80 minutes whenever the team tried to play wide, the end crosses were woeful. Azpilicueta did very well running the flank, but he couldn't put a ball with either any trajectory or power, or sometimes both. When Marin came on, his first cross found a fine Ba head! Marin is a proper winger. He's smart. He doesn't just run the channel and cross it, he allows players to gather inside but cutting inside and holding the ball. He should see some more game time against opposition like this, because direct football doesn't work, taking advantage of width does.I hope Rafa is planning to use him at least in Jan as a replacement for Moses's direct style of play.

Those who have written him off, had already done so when we first signed him and were just looking for an excuse to say they knew he would not work out.

Agree - look at the patience shown with Torres - if Marin had 1/10th of that support it would be nice.Is he a new Messi - NO!Can he work hard, play well for Chelsea - YES!We gotta give him a chance, I think he prefers the LEFT - but Cole + Hazard starting to build a relationship there, so put him on the RIGHT and let him and Azpi get a relationship going...Also - he is good at tracking back and 'nicking' the ball - apart from his crazy tackle (adrenalin rush) - he's been good...

Those who have written him off, had already done so when we first signed him and were just looking for an excuse to say they knew he would not work out. It's because we only paid a 'small' fee for him, therefore people don't careless. If he cost say £25million, it would a different story entirely.

GeeMon 34 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Marin had a very promising pre season and I thought he was impressive when he came on in the Swansea game.Hopefully gets more of a chance now moses is in Africa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I hope Rafa is planning to use him at least in Jan as a replacement for Moses's direct style of play. I'm not sure about that. He's probably as direct as Moses, but what you get with Moses is not only the work rate, but a physical presence that tracks back and defends. Marin can't tackle for shit (and i'm not just talking about vs. QPR), which is why I think we're only going to see him coming off from the bench as an impact player.

Can't wait for him to get a run of games and shove that bullshit back down 'our so called fans' throats... Agreed. You need to give players some time to show what they can do. Marin has had what, one Premier League start? I think we need to play him fairly regularly while Moses is away because he provides real width and he crosses into the box much more regularly than anyone else we have which, I think, suits Ba and frees up Hazard and Mata to play more centrally. Maybe he won't ever be good enough for Chelsea, but it's way too early to make that call. Corner, joni2605 and Muzchap 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Gino 377 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I'm not concerned about Marko going up against the bus of Stoke, he is nimble enough to draw fouls and frustrate the defenders. Like many said he's trying to get back into the flow after a long injury layoff and I'll always pick him over Oscar on the wing. Of course Rafa will likely select Ramires out there instead. And combine Luiz with Lampard against Stoke. I don't see why Marko shouldn't take off with a good run and Moses comes back to sub for him for a change. Afterall Marko is more gifted just needs the minutes. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he's even better than Moses i reckon, just needs game time. joni2605 and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but injuries and suspensions happen as do ACONs. If he keeps fit, I reckon he starts at least 10 games a season and make regular sub appearances.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Marin might get some time against Stoke, don't know whether thats a good or bad thing tbh. Would have preffered if we'd still have Moses for these more physically types of games. Damn you Nigeria. xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediator 2,026 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 That would be great for him to show his talent. I hope that he will be injury's free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I don't believe the rumours of him going on loan, especially with Piazon looking to be loaned out as well. Unless we're buying someone new, but that wouldn't really make any sense imo, because Marko is still yet to be given a proper chance. Buying another winger / attacking midfielder is fine by me but we really shouldn't be getting rid of anyone, at least before next summer.

Thomas Williams 166 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I don't get why he doesn't get more playing time, as exhausted as our wingers have been lately and with moses out for international duty. He's not that bad, he just needs some playing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hmmm... Crowded fixture schedule, players away on international duty, thin squad already... Yeah, let's send him to Russia. Makes perfect sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
