He doesn't offer enough offensively against sides that sit back.

 

You watch how sides like Madrid have their attacks start with Marcelo when sides sit back, and he clearly isn't doing enough going forward.

It isn't easy crossing with your right foot when you play on the left side trust me. He has the workrate and pace to attack, but when on the right side. On the left he just looks more to defend and guard Terry for pace. Quite obvious, imo.

Excellent from Dave. See what happens when you put him on his natural foot?

I remember having a heated debate about 2 years ago on who was the better RB, Dave or Ivanovic...that was a discussion that actually happened and there were staunch Brana supporters. Even though Brana was nowhere near as bad as he is now, I think it was always non-debatable about who the better RB was.

Azpilicueta: "I plan on staying another few years at Chelsea. I'm very happy there. I'm not thinking about leaving the club" #CFC (FFT)

Azpilicueta: "But if I have to leave it would be for a club where I could develop even more than at Chelsea." #CFC (FourFourTwo)

Represents the post 2012 UCL Final Chelsea, a team that lacks identity and ambition, Azpi was this typical Emenalo guy, a promissing U21 player from any place in the world that was turned into a LB when Mourinho panicked and decided Cole was not good enough, but somehow Mourinho thought he was so good, that he sold Luís back to Atletico after one single season.

This team is paying the price for believing winning the PL means the same thing as in the past. Leicester is set to win the PL this season, but no one is saying Huth is great or world class. Azpi is not great. Call him normal, average or mediocre, but isn't great. He Can't cross, the Can't even make simple things right, like that moment before the 2nd PSG gol when he interceptes an Ibra's pass, but was unable to make a simple pass to Costa and completely killed a precious counter attack opportunity. Azpi is hardworking, he can make some good things, he is not terrible, but not great. I Can't believe some people firmly believe he is world class.

Its not a coincidence that the team was beaten by stupid defensive mistakes in both games, with terrible performances from Azpi, Iva and Cahill, players who were praised by Mouinho for months, and were called world class by many fans, and the best "defender" today was Kenedy, a player who is not even a defender and wasn't part of the amazing untouchable Mourinho's back 4.

And no, that wasn't an isolated mistake, as some people were suggesting in game topic, this was the most important game of the season, and this is the kind of game that is the difference between great players and normal ones.
