César Azpilicueta

After Terry retired the only guy I would want as a captain, not Ivanovic.

I just want to see the end of Azpi as a LB, if this is only change Guus makes i will be very happy.

^ if we bring back Aké, who has been brilliant for Watford, in January, that could become a reality.

The problem being is some fucking dipshit gave Brana the VC armband.

I'd leave Aké at Watford for the rest of the season. He's doing well there and he's getting valuable game time.

Azpi to the right and give Kenedy a run of games on that left fullback position. Really liked what i saw from him in that position.

Switch to a 4-3-3 to give extra cover for our attacking fullbacks and Fabregas.

I feel the reason our attack has looked so stale for so long is because we haven't really been threatening in wide areas.

Us not playing natural fullbacks played a big part in that. imo. That needs to change if we are to egt our attack firing again.

Kenedy is not even defender and he played against Norwich, he didn't had to do anything. I would better give Baba a chance he has been decent, he is good croser, fast attacking fullback, and he has really good left foot, maybe he didn;t defend really well against shaqiri, but he didn't had any protecton, when someone help him he always does job well. Plus baba is still young, he's like 21 or 20.

Kenedy should get games as winger or striker, thaths the position where he played in Brazil.

I know Kenedy is not a defender but nowadays a lot of fullbacks have started out as wingers and were transformed into fullbacks. In modern football the fullback has essentially taking over the role of the winger.

Marcelo, Alaba, Alba, Alves, the list goes on. All fullbacks that have been put in that role because of their attacking abillity.

Kenedy is 19 years old and could be taught to defend. Ofcourse he'd never be as good a defender as someone like say Azpi but he could be taught the basics so he wouldn't be a liability in that position.

At the end of the day he would be put there primarily because of his attacking abillity.

So you would waste a young winger/second striker and mould him into a LB....rather than give a chance to a young LB (Baba) who needs game time to achieve his potential?

I don't see it as wasting. With proper guidance i feel Kenedy could be an excellent attacking fullback. I think he would have more of a future there then as a winger or second striker.

I know it was "only Norwich (that beat Man U 2-1)", but I was really impressed with the overlapping runs. I was in the Shed that game so first half I could see him defend (near the left corner flag) So confident. I think once he actually rainbow flicked the ball over the attacking winger's head at his own corner flag.

Baba hasn't really impressed me tbh. I'm not writing him off but I really think Kenedy has potential, I hope he gets a run there. Also Aina is waiting for a chance and it's rumoured if he doesn't get playing time he may look to leave.

A lot of competition for 2 spots. 5 players for those 2 spots. Let's also not forget that Ake will probably come back in the summer (likely an indirect replacement for Ivanovic, who will either get released or become a CB), and between him and Baba Ake will start every time, if we don't Watford will snap our hands off to buy him.

I think Kenedy has a huge future at LB. Been impressed with him in that position since he came on against Palace. Everyone in the Shed around me was massively impressed by his performance. He could actually become a great player there. I think he lacks the extra finesse to be a great winger, but he's got the determination to do well at LB.

Become a great player? Let's just calm down with the hype..

I see him becoming a better version of Danny Rose

are you trolling today? Kenedy at left-back, calling Emenalo Mike, to that picture you've got there. set an example mod.

Oh my god! Didn't know mods weren't allowed an opinion young padawan.

There is no hype. I actually think he'd have a better future there. He'd make a great attacking full back if he can learn the ways of defending competently, whereas I think he can only become a good winger. He'd have a higher ceiling as a wing back.
