Who do u want to see start in the FB positions?

IMO - Azpilucueta RB / Luis LB

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Very hard question. For the LB spot, I prefer Luis and Ivanovic against majority of the sides we face, especially at Stamford Bridge, but away from home and/or against the strongest teams, Azpilicueta.

The RB spot is locked down by Brana for the foreseeable future. He's been a monster overlapping this season, his final ball has improved so much. He's also recently gotten even more solid defensively after some criticism at the start of the season. Our best fullback and one of our best players, period.

Azpi and Luis. Possibly move Ivan to CB.

What has Cahill done to get dropped? :/ He's been really good this season IMO.

[Viper22 2,418]

It's a hard question. I think Azpilicueta has to play. I think he's quality anyway and when fellow ex-pros like Carragher and Neville say he's the best defender in the league (especially when they are ex-pros of rival teams) then you just have to take notice. His 1vs1 defending is unparalleled and as such I think he needs to be picked when fit and available.

As to who to go with him... That's a difficult matter. Both are similar ages, Ivan is better going forwards and Luis better defensively.

Mentioned this in another thread but while we're playing Willian/Schurrle/Ramires at RW we need some attack from our RB to help. So I have to choose Ivan and have Azpi LB.

However, if we sign a great true attacking RW (like Reus) then I would be happier dropping Ivan to the bench and having Luis/Azpi as the fullbacks, which would be stunning in defence and bordering on impenetrable.

But if we play Luis, that means he can over lap and allow Hazard to be more free, thus creating even more space on the right, also Luis's crosses are sexy.

he's had several shaky games

[manpe 10,861]

Ivanovic and Cesar have been working good so far so I see no reason to replace them. Luis will need to work his way into the team just like Azpi did.

[ZOS 580]

Luis is all round a better ball player and gets the best out of Hazard, Azpi is a better defender. So I guess it all depends on who we're facing. For lesser opponents we can go with Luis at LB and rotate Azpi and Brana on the right. For the big occasions we can go with Brana and Azpi.

He's too English. Not "continental" enough

[Fulham Broadway 17,339]

Well theres been a few, but at the moment Mrs FB I suppose.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Even discussing dropping Azpi is silly. The guy is by far the best full back in the league. And Jose will NOT drop Iva or move him to CB despite his weaknesses and mistakes because of the physicality he provides.

[Cosmin 2,484]

Azpi is just untouchable. I think Luis should play when Petr does (UCL, FA, COP)

[dUMB 189]

Iva, Azpi, that's for sure... Luis is very good but they're better...
