Typical.  2 hours ago, Jason said: The reaction here represents everything wrong with the football fans these days.  Absolutely. It's undeniable at this point that Azpilicueta is currently on a poor run of form, but it's ridiculous to see quite a number of Chelsea fans lay into him in this way; the same goes for Willian when he has a bad game (as he did yesterday). When I see fans on various forums and on twitter lay into these two players and immediately begin to question their ability, commitment, and value to the team following poor performances it makes me furious. Along with Zouma, they were the only outfield players to play at something close to their full potential over long stretches of this disaster of a season. It would have been the easiest thing in the world for them to down tools and relax, knowing that their efforts were probably in vain with so many of their team-mates hideously off-form and/or lacking focus, but they didn't; instead they fought on in a losing battle, and are now starting to show the strain. Do they get cut some slack by certain sections of the fanbase? Do they heck. You don't have to look far to find people advocating that Azpilicueta and Willian should now be demoted to squad players/sold simply as 'punishment' for being less consistent than they were earlier in the season. If these people honestly advocate getting rid of them at this moment in time (when we are in desperate need of players with their combination of attitude and ability) just because they are not glamourous/'perfect'/indisputably 'world-class' enough for certain tastes, then I simply despair at the current state of sport fandom. With attitudes such as these, why on earth do these fans expect ANY loyalty from the players who play for their clubs? The 'mercenary' way of life adopted by many modern footballers (and other sports-people) is certainly open to criticism, but we (as fans) are lying to ourselves if we refuse to accept that our own attitudes have contributed to this state of affairs. OhForAGreavsie, Muzchap and LondonsFinest 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I don't think anyone's over reacted lol. Maybe the 'fluke' comment went a bit far, no-one's above criticism. That being said, if anyone deserves some compassion for a bad-spell in current circumstances it is Azpilicueta Muzchap, LondonsFinest and Essien19 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labelled as the best full back in the league for a reason. Some of the commentators here should hang their heads in shame. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 The guy has been playing basically non-stop for two years now, barely gets a rest and always gives his all. And considering how much work our defenders must do due to non-existent midfield, I think he is exhausted. It's not easy being one of Mourinho's untouchables.

Del Bosque doesn't really use him, if I remember correctly? Should have a nice time having some banter on the bench  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mak 4,459 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Has a bad game every now and then, but you can't blame him with this defence really! Surprised he hasn't been worse this season to be honest. It's the consistently shite/passive players like Oscar, Mikel and Ivanovic who need to go, like, last season.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I've got a problem with this guy of late, he seems to have morphed into a Ivanovic type mess and regressed so much so that one thought of mine is 'Sell' I have commented on here over the last few months about how we need more athletic, powerful and all round better full backs... I feel it's becoming more and more evident. Blue-in-me-Veins and Styles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel it's becoming more and more evident.  Yeah Cesar has regressed as well this season. I'm praying, (literally praying), that this is just a one-off. We need him to bounce back to standard next season playing at RB! Not as an inverted winger with Ivan on the other side. He's lost many more 1v1 battles this season than I can remember from him in his entire Chelsea spell, and has been a little iffy even when playing RB (PSG 2nd goal at SB comes to mind). He hasn't been horrendous though, because I still remember the graphic back when the season began, which showed where we were conceding all our goals back when we were one of the worst defense sides in the entire PL (not that we're that much better) but nearly 95% of the goals were from the right and Centre. I wonder how that graph looks for the second half of the season?  Anywho, I'm not overly concerned. As long as he's playing RB next season, even if his play is not that good, at least we'll know from then on moving forward that we'll need an upgrade on RB instead of continuing with the perpetual square pegs in round holes to compensate for other people's shortcomings throughout the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Ahmed 528 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 C.Azpilicueta: We want to be back there Quote Cesar Azpilicueta was part of the ‘guard of honour’ formed by the Chelsea squad to welcome Leicester City onto the pitch prior to yesterday’s final game, and he is using the experience as motivation for next season. The team that took Chelsea’s Premier League crown and their manager, Claudio Ranieri, were afforded a warm reception by both players and fans alike at Stamford Bridge in recognition of their achievement. In the match itself, Chelsea were heading for victory thanks to a Cesc Fabregas penalty until Leicester equalised inside the final 10 minutes. ‘We had a couple of chances in the first half which we did not take and then from the goal we conceded, the result was not what we were looking for,’ said Azpilicueta. ‘We wanted to finish in a good way, to finish with three points in front of our fans after a difficult season but we couldn’t do it.’ The Spain international full-back said results this season meant Chelsea warranted the experience of being the congratulators rather than the congratulated on this occasion. ‘We deserved this but we want to be on the other side and we have to fight to be there next season. We know it is going to be tough but we have to show the spirit to do it again.’ The afternoon ended with the players showing their appreciation for the Chelsea fans and the backing they have given this season, and Azpilicueta put that into words. ‘When you win trophies and when you win games, it is easy to find the support but this season, even if we weren’t getting the results, if we only won a few games at home, they always supported us home and away. They were always behind us and this is the real support and we have to give back winning trophies as soon as possible. ‘The next chance we have is next season and in a few months we will be back here trying to win trophies for them.’chelseafc.com  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
