César Azpilicueta

[Barbara 15,149]

Great performance today. Should get a few games at Right back now

I want him there too, but I feel like we have such a bad left side right now. Cole is easily ran by opposition these days and he doesn't contribute too much in the attack. Bertrand isn't that great (although I guess he's improved a bit) and he's been off way too long and had an injury. If Iva could rotate with him in the left then I'd love to watch Azpili more often in the right. There's a significant gap between them and all other options we have for the left. Iva is a non-factor attacking because of his terrible crossing, but he's still very good aerially and defensively and he holds the ball pretty well in the attack imo. Azpili improved a lot defensively and I wish he played more often in his position to give him a chance to improve his crosses as well (although his are better than Iva's - I don't think it's humanly possible to be worse than Iva crossing). He's been flawless in many matches for us this season, absolutely class player.

As usual his cross leads to a goal. More end product than the rest of our fullbacks

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Again his cross leads to a goal. More end product than the rest of our fullbacks

He did really well, he was everywhere, defensively brilliant

Beast. I wish we had a left-footed Azpilicueta.

Completely agree but Ivanovic came off with an injury. Could be forced to go with Azpi at RB for Southampton

[Waterfall 893]

He and Cahill have proven to be great value signings.

Reaction: Azpilicueta on Liverpool

Proper Right-Back. Enough said.

[Hamon 103]

So much better than Ivanovic it's not even funny.

[Beigl 1,387]

If he continues like this he will get Spains RB #1.<br />How could we get a player like him for only 8.5£?<br />In my opinion one of the best deals in the Abramovich era.<br /><br />Gesendet von meinem LG-P710 mit Tapatalk<br /><br />

Class player, he is proving that with regular play time even "small money" players can be fantastic. We should definately give such players more chances.

Had another good game yesterday. The only thing I can really complain about is that he's sometimes a little sloppy on the ball or with his distribution. Great block in the first half, and I loved when Mourinho pulled him up towards the end of the game when he exaggerated a foul

the only thing i would complain about is his throw ins. seems to throw it to the opponents more often than not

Cesar Azpilicueta sat down with the official Chelsea website to assess his time at the club, reflect on his recent run in the side and outline his hopes for the remainder of the campaign

His other nickname...The Rat!

In a recent interview Gary Cahill cited Azpilicueta as the most dedicated trainer he'd ever worked with, explaining he had taken on the nickname of 'the rat', due to his high energy levels and determination to achieve his targets.

So happy he's now this solid versatile fullback we've been missing for years.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Well, I dont understand why is Mourinho keep saying that Azpi will play as LB. He is clearly beast RB and when he doesnt play RB, he should rest. I hope Mou is not forcing Azpi to play LB just so he can play Ivan on RB. When its clear that Azpi is better than Iva...
