When playing 3 at the back, he should be one of the 3. He should, but we had nobody to put at RB/RWB. Otherwise if we did, then Azpi over Zouma in a back 3 all day long.

Drogba once had a manhug with Carragher at Anfield while we were two down and Zlatan greeted our players with smiles after we stuffed United 4-0.

Drogba once had a manhug with Carragher at Anfield while we were two down and Zlatan greeted our players with smiles after we stuffed United 4-0. And I remember United fans bashing Zlatan for doing so.There was also always a mutual respect between Drogba and Carragher. That said, Zlatan and Drogba have far too much pride than to applaud a rival decimating a team. I'm not calling Azpi out on anything. This is something I've now learned to accept from him, and it now reflects our current standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joys of social media If this had happened 2-3 years ago, nobody would say anything because Azpi's at his peak. But it's 2019 and when players are struggling, in decline etc, it just becomes fashionable to pick out every single thing to criticize them, even when the thing has nothing to do with how he plays etc. Vesper, Azpinator, OneMoSalah and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering numerous footballers all over the world like posts about other teams or players etc. Do people really care that fucking much 🤣 its just modern day football. He played well today I felt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Jase 43,479 Posted October 23, 2019 Popular Post! Share Posted October 23, 2019 Is no one going to mention Azpi's improved form? Got criticized so much not too long ago (the abuse in particular was unwarranted) but has greatly rediscovered his old self over the last month or so. He might be approaching the wrong side of 30 but he still got life in him yet. kellzfresh, Azpinator, Stats and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be approaching the wrong side of 30 but he still got life in him yet.Defensively played like one of the best again, like he used to. Pressing players, nicking the ball and playing it forward he was good too. Still can't cross though lol which is weird because when he was the 3rd cb coming forward a little more centrally the guy played brilliant balls into Morata.

May not be great going forward (can't be helped at this point) but still can be excellent when it comes to defending. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was that chance in the first half that he shot instead of passed with 4 Chelsea players in the box. It sums him up really. If we could clone Alonso and Azpi we would have the best full back in the world imo LAM09 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
