Sir Mikel OBE 4,531 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 This is unfair to him but I bet he loses his spot now.if Luis delivers, then he must have that spot.Not unfair, just football mate. Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel1980 1,425 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 If that had been 'some' other players, their thread would have been 'on fire'...It's so hard to be mad at Azpi. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Sheva. 5,373 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 He always runs around like a man possessed, immediately he had that bad touch there was only one outcome.Everything happens for a reason though, and this is the best chance for Luis to show he should be starting.

Myself 793 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Still think Luis - Dave is the way to go in terms of fullbacks 1 Link to post Share on other sites
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Big fuck up. Simple as. Luckily Delaney decided to be even more stupid. Not worried about him, though. He's a fighter by nature. This is unfair to him but I bet he loses his spot now.Not if Luis keeps defending like he did for the goal! Link to post Share on other sites
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I feel sorry for Azpi, he rushed into that stupid tackle right in front of the eyes of the ref and that's exactly what Filipe was waiting for. You can't do such thing with one of the best left backs in the world breathing down your neck. Now it's Filipe's spot to lose I'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel1980 1,425 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 With Azpi missing 3 PL games, Ake might get a chance to play in a PL game. Link to post Share on other sites
Namika 922 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 He'll miss Manchester United, QPR and Shrewsbury, back for Liverpool on the 8th. Link to post Share on other sites
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Chance for Luis now. If he doesnt impress, I think he will never be a regular then. But still as soon Azpi is back, he will play again. Mou likes Azpi. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jase 43,476 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Gotta love all the proclamation that Azpi will lose his place and Luis is first choice now..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Shakez 755 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Azpi is not losing his place, Mourinho has a hard on for him. I tbh find him a tad bit overrated because he doesn't offer much in the overlap with Hazard (even Bertrand would be a better option in that regard if he wasn't loaned out). Defensive stability comes first ofcourse, but Luis is no slouch in that regard either when fully match fit. Come next year i can see him reverting back to right back and Luis on the left (Ivanovic will occupy the spot Terry will leave), though i hope Bertrand also gets his chances then if he continues the way he is playing at Southampton. We need more homegrown players anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone knows he lacks in attack on the left, but he's an amazing defender. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Joker10 946 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 He's the best one on one defender in the PL. He's not overrated. Everyone knows he lacks in attack on the left, but he's an amazing defender.The way football going with so many inverted winger, it is hard to be effective and stretch the opposition without getting offensive production from your fullbacks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

When he returned the myth was he would play the old guard and chase former glory, fast forward a year and all apart from Terry have been dropped or let go.He supposedly loved Ramires and would never drop him, this season he has seen the bench as often as he has started.Azpi may get straight back in the team when his suspension expires at Anfield, but if he does it will be because Mourinho believes it's best for the team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LondonsFinest 692 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Azpi is one of the best 1 on 1 backs in the world to be fair. And that is really hard to find , with the all attacking minded , so even if Filipe impresses, Iva is the one who may sit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
beyondinvisible 47 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 A defender's primary job is to defend. Luis may offer more in attack but Azpi is the better defender from what I've seen. Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Madmax 9,219 Posted November 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2014 Probably won't happen but I wish he's played on the right from now on. Luis is solid enough defensively and excellent going forward. If Hazard is expected to help out his LB, why is the LB not expected to help him out in breaking teams down? Ivanovic needs some competition; his standards are slipping. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel1980 1,425 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'm really curious who Jose will choose to play against Liverpool. Will Luis be dropped? I hope not, but Azpi is too good to sit on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites
