Special Juan 28,336 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 So we hope and pray he comes good this season, and if he doesn't? He's had enough time to produce and he quite clear hasn't been anywhere near good enough IMO. I want more of Willian in the #10 role and with potentially a new RW plus Cuadrado the issue of losing him isn't as big as people may think. stroey and Unionjack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroey 2,525 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Only players that are in the "best or top" individually are Hazard and Thibo and Matic.What about Azpi? Our best 1 on 1 defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I don't think our fans should be afraid about selling Oscar unless it's for the Pogba transfer. You forget Mourinho benched Mata because of him, he trusts in the lad. If Oscar fails to deliver next season though them I think all of us would be very disappointed and he could leave in the next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea_firstlove 178 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Dave is the best 1v1 defender here but in general as a fullback, he is not rated as a top player in his position...He is on top 5 leftback( Marcelo, Alaba, Alba, Kolarov). Luis who is one of top leftback in the 2013-2014 season is on the bench. Tell me who can beat Dave into Chelsea starting XI without my top 5.

If a traditional fullback, Azpi all the way. If your wingers are sub par and the fullback is supposed to be a wing back in effect, then no.But Azpi for us is perfect.

Tomo 21,751 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Dave is the best 1v1 defender here but in general as a fullback, he is not rated as a top player in his position...Which shows a double standard in the average football fan.If wingers were judged on both attacking and defensive quality off their game most if not all the names that were considered the best these days wouldn't be there, however at fullback you can be a complete rock defensively but not the best going forward and your name doesn't become a consideration when talking about the best.Infact if anything fullback are more judged on what they offer going forward and if they can run in a straight line, Kyle Walker was talked up as some potential great a few years back, Bosingwa was regarded at one time as one of the best full backs in Europe, neither can defend for shit, it's criminal that Azpi doesn't get the credit he richly deserves, he isn't as bad going forward as made out any way. pHaRaOn, didierforever and Beepu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 When I saw so many unread posts in this thread I thought that had been some development about Oscar.Then I come here to read posts and more posts about Azpilicueta - who is only recognized by Chelsea fans, that much is true. Few people I know have any sort of praise for Dave, unsung hero and all that. Not among the best FB in the world at all for me, but I'm Brazilian, a FB that can only defend or mainly only defend does nothing to me. bethos1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
