César Azpilicueta

[Amblève. 4,995]

He truly had one of the greatest defensive performances I have ever witnessed. Felt like he got in between the ball and his opponent every single time.

Best left-back, right-back and centre-back in Premier League.

My admiration for him knows no bounds. He's one of the best things to happen to our club. Absolute service to the club, plays anywhere you tell him to play and gives 110% everytime he is on the pitch. 

He should be a serious contender to take the armband after Terry retires.

Absolutely this!

I guess Mourinho was right, with 10 Azpilicueta he would win the CL. 

[Jase 43,479]

Thank god Ibrahimovic and Fellaini didn't profit much when they stuck with Azpi for crosses coming into the box.

First of all, Mourinho needs to get into a CL spot

[Kieran. 6,317]

So he's killing it in his third choice postion. Fucking GOAT

Honestly, HOW CAN HE BE SO GOOD, he is just world class, no two ways about it, everywhere you play him he will put in an elite performance, but today he was just something else, right up there with his leicester game as a RB as his two best games for us, i think Moses has done well playing as a WB, but that spot IMO belongs to Azpi, and the sooner he goes there the better off we will be, but Moses has done well and deserves to keep playing so as soon as Zouma comes back i think we should push Moses further up the pitch and play azpi as the RWB

Naaaah Moses has already learned that role so quickly. Like unbelievably quickly. Plus offensively, Moses is a beast. Maybe not so great in the final third, but his power and ability on the ball is a huge asset in bringing the ball up the pitch. Plus 1 on 1, he can skin pretty much any defender too.

Even though almost everyone had an incredible performance yesterday, Azpi was still CLEARLY the MOTM in my eyes. 

Absolutely perfect.

Honestly wouldn't change the team until something goes wrong. I sense Cahill will be the first one to go for Zouma (if he can find some form in some cup games) and potentially Pedro for Willian. Apart from that this system looks very settled. Definitely wouldn't go switching Azpi for Moses.

I would, Moses has been great, put i would like him a little bit further forward or off the bench,remember that he has dave babysitting him al the time on the right, and Azpi, as good as he has been as a CB, is even better as a RB, and not playing him there is silly IMO, just watch the Leicester cup game

Azpi has been excellent so far has a cb the only thing I'm worry about is azpi getting caught out in the air with a tall striker

That would be the job of either Luiz, Cahill, JT or Alonso.

Cesar has shown great positioning and timing on headers, though. Will it happen? Probably, yes. But even the tallest CB lose a crucial header from time to time and so far I don't think Cesar has given us any reason for concern in that regard.

[King11Didier 916]

The commitment I'd like to see from every player. Whenever the manager puts him, he will give his everything, every manager loves this kind of players and I'm sure Conte loves him.
I think he surely is one of the candidates for the armband and he definitely deserves that.

[DYC. 7,542]

Always said he was capable of playing CB. He's been Chelsea's best defender for years. He doesn't just react, like the great majority of fullbacks, but he truly anticipates, reading plays and predicting the moves of his opponents. And with his level of (positive) aggression and commitment, he's an absolute pain to deal with for any player. His pace is a great asset as well. He's the only player in that back three who fills me with confidence.

Don't understand why doesn't have the band but maybe one day. Hopefully soon.
