Mufassir08 2,400 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Its time that we start giving him more regular gametime because cole is definitely not capable of playing 3 times a week.

mac.bo 48 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 What injury did Bertrand have,and it is time to really push Cole for no.1 starting slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 If he cant be trusted this weekend against Fulham at home then he should go.Cole needs a rest badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Needs to start the next couple of matches. Somehow I doubt that will happen. English Freak, The Skipper and Amblève. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 He's good enough to start and he's better at going forward than Cole is. This will allow more freedom for Hazard and co. on that left flank as teams tend to ignore and contain Cole very easily whereas it's different for Ryan. Really hope he gets to start the next few games. Mufassir08, Liquidator and Stats 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Was expecting both him and Azpi to start yesterday. Still don't understand why they didn't. We could have really used the extra energy and width they provide.I find it mind-numbing that Jose feels the need to rotate JT and Oscar but not Iva and Cole!

English Freak 456 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Time to give Bertrand a chance.He's good enough to be the starting LB on most PL teams..yet at Chelsea, he's on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,438 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 This guy definitely deserves more game time. Played well today, and these days he offers more than Cole when it comes to attacking play xPetrCechx and The_Flash 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1 1,166 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 He's not Roberto Carlos, but I do think he suits our set up play better than Cole, and I still think Bertrand is fine defensively (Cole has a better mentality in big games though).Bertrand's final ball was maybe lacking this game but his runs are better than Cole as is his comfortableness(word?) on the ball. The final ball will come I reckon as he learns - in some appearances last season he wasn't nearly as adventurous. Mufassir08 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Flash 1,144 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Agreed he had a good game considering he hasn't played. Really deserves a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final ball will come I reckon as he learns - in some appearances last season he wasn't nearly as adventurous.I actually thought he put in a couple of excellent crosses but Torres and Willian just didn't make the run. I think he definitely deserves to play more often, but I would still like to see Cole against Spurs because he is a player that can make a game-saving tackle or clearance.And yes, "comfortableness" is a word, although I would have used "comfort level" instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 He did well tonight Ryan. He looked hungry. He should see more of him, especially considering the amount of games we'll be playing in the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to work Cole to death when we have a more than capable back up in Bertrand. Maybe not against Spurs but certainly against Steaua he should start.
