Anybody still considers him a right back after playing two seasons straight at left?

Next Lahm?

As fullback, maybe. But as a player, he has a long way to go. Lahm is also great at passing, vision and ball control, better than most midfielders. Azpi, I think will never have such control on ball, but he can become world class FB (if he isnt one already).

He got the assist for Torres' goal and I don't remember him making any costly mistakes.

"I was always a striker when I was younger. Sometimes I played on the right wing or at right-back but I was a striker until the age of around 15 or 16.

In the reserve team at Osasuna I sometimes played right-back or left-back, but not regularly. Then, at the age of about 18, I became right-back in the first team"

To think we paid 7 or 8 million for this guy is just insane. Best defender in the Premier League, left back or right back.

Spain are playing a friendly against Germany on Tuesday I think. He might play then.

Azpilicueta continues to convince me that he can't do a job on a consistent basis at left back. Most of the teams we play against play defensively against us, even when they play at home. He offers nothing in these games that Luis cannot! Jose's infatuation with him playing there is really bizarre. I feel bad for Filipe.

It should be Luis and Azpi. I have no idea why not except that Ivanovic is a leader and a great threat in the air.

Completely agree. Today's game once again showed that Azpi will offer us very little going forward on the left and Ivanovic cannot defend. How does Jose still not see that Luis is the best all-round full back we have and why pay £16m for him if you're not even going to play him? As ludicrous as it may sound I do reckon part of his thinking in buying Luis was to weaken Atletico since he knows that he was an important player for them and they're a big obstacle in the way of CL glory.

In my opinion,Azpilicueta should play as a LB when we have to play a big team,but against "park the bus teams" we need Luis and Azpi on the other side
