Clockwork 1,794 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Himself - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1336397/Branislav-Ivanovic-doesnt-want-Chelsea-wide-boy.htmlMeh that was 5 years ago.Btw i always believed he was a better RB, but probably at his age with loss of his physical ability he would better suit the CB position atm. Some players have done that including Maldini.Also no shame in not being better then Luis, very few imo are better then him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always said Luis should be our LB and Azpi as RB, but it just hasn't happened. Doubt it ever will to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it ever will to be honest.crazy thing is that jose had marcelo and ronaldo on one side when neither of them played any defense at all. However, real was just significantly better than everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 oh.. thats true.. probably thats the reason that JOSE FUCKING MOURINHO has him benched behind both ivanovic and azpilicueta. like always, a LOL-MAX opinion from gilvorak.infact, i think he so many miles ahead that jose thought it unfair on the other wingers to play this god of a fullback. i mean he is so far ahead that we are thinking of selling him and replacing him with ake/toby. Stop embarrassing yourself. Azpilicueta is a great defensive fullback but he wouldn't get into any top team because he's a complete liability offensively. There's a reason he can't buy a callup for Spain.Filipe Luis was part of one of the greatest defensive teams in La Liga history before he joined us but yeah he's a completely liability offensively.You constantly slag off Oscar who Jose loves so save us the faux-outrage about us not believing Jose is always right.

Rapkun 668 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 One thing that really disapointed me about Filipe are his crosses. For a fullback who's supposedly very good going forward his crosses were often inaccurate or lacked effect. Jose tried to sub him in a few times when we needed a goal but he didn't really make the difference although part of the problem is that Eden dont use his fullback as much as he should.I liked Filipe a lot when he was at Atletico but it seems he won't have a significant place here. I don't mind that we use him to land either Grizzy or Alderweireld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bababoom 4,478 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Azpi>Luis IMO, Luis is great going forward but is not a patch on Azpi defensively. Azpi is one of the best 1v1 fullbacks in the world, players have such a hard time getting past him. didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Sky Sports "sources" saying that we, quite rightly, won't sell Luis for anything less than the £15.8 million we invested in his transfer. If Bertrand was a loan I would support selling luis this summer, but we might as well get our moneys worth out of him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't build from the back, his crossing is subpar, technically he's nothing special & he doesn't have the stamina to dominate a flank like Ashley Cole did in his prime.He's very good defensively & there's nothing wrong with that but offensively, his limitations are as clear as day & night.

His only competition right now is carvalj, who del bosque never seems to call up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeholiday 209 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Has he played at any capacity as DM? He's got a good long ball in him. Only thing is with Matic the CMs become "two left-footed" (sorry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
