It's 'whateva' or rather 'whatever'.

Whatevs..

Has been mightily impressive since we signed him, and the board deserve some credit for picking him up at such a decent price.

Indeed

Gotta give him credit for the torres goal. What a terrific cross that was...

Yes and I were glad we signed him. He's so much better than Debuchy and Van Der Wiel.

Yup he was awesome yesterday and such a big smile - think that really helps

Moses needs to learn a bit more about wing play, Dave was always in acres of space and Moses kept running towards him instead of beyond the last defender - was very frustrating and wished Marin had been given a chance

He looks a good crosser and gets the ball in early and that's what we need

One of the best value signings we've ever made - reminds me of Chappie - dependable and solid

One thing he could improve on is his speed of distribution, just get the ball in quick like Torres' first goal, sometimes he delays too much, thats really my only fault for him at the moment..

Torres is hardly ever available or in a good enough position for Azpilicueta or whoever else to play an early ball like he did yesterday. No point just kicking the ball in there if you have nobody to aim at.

So happy that we finally have a proper right back in the first team.

Chelsea's Cesar Azpilicueta has hailed his two-year spell in the footballing goldfish bowl of Marseille as the ideal preparation to help him handle the must-win mentality at Chelsea.

Azpilicueta, 23, arrived at the Stade Velodrome from Osasuna in 2010 as a relative unknown, and may have remained so in a city where the unforgiving fervour of OM's supporters has seen a number of players with bigger reputations sink into obscurity.

However, the Spain Under-21 international's quality quickly became apparent, as he won over even the most fickle of fans by dealing comfortably with the step up from Pamplona, and he is now putting that experience to good use following his switch to Stamford Bridge.

"It's more physical here [than in France], and the rhythm is higher. Sometimes, in the second half, it's a little bit mad. But my two years at OM have helped me adapt. The pressure is the same," Azpilicueta told L'Equipe.

"At Marseille, we had to win every game. At Chelsea too. The difference is that here we play to win each and every trophy. I came here for that, and to grow as a player."

The opportunities to progress for a man who ostensibly arrived in west London as cover for Branislav Ivanovic were initially limited. Azpilicueta had to wait until early October before finally making his Premier League debut, but he has since made eight further appearances in the English top flight.

"I didn't play a lot in the first couple of weeks, but that's normal," he said. "When you arrive at the European champions, you don't expect to be a first-team regular that quickly. I've worked hard to be able to hope to do that."

Just only remembered earlier that Sunday's 8-0 win over Aston Villa was his 1st win in 7 Premier league starts for the club.

His face is never right in pictures.

His face is never right in pictures.

I heard photos of people taken when they're not aware reveal their true character.

[Jusek 2,031]

lol, always with the rape face!

[Sheva. 5,373]

LMAO this is beyond weird now.

[Peppen 934]

That guy... Turns me on. I'm not feeling comfortable looking into his deep, shadowy eyes, but there' something about them.. They tell a story... Of lust and hunger. I like it.

[TrippingStep 336]

The best transfer this year for the best right back in ligue1 the last years.

And Ivanovic can play in his best position.

The defense can play higher with a bit more agression with him on right back as he's rarely beaten by his opponents.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Can't wait until the day he scores, he'll probably be arrested for conspiracy to destroy some poor woman, just with his eyes and smile alone...

[edetarod 2,155]

love this guy, simply doesn't stop running

he was massive today i thought
