communicate 2,703 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Thoughts he is a good dribbler but he just do step over which is absolutely useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'm not making a judgement yet and will give him the benefit of the doubt until he's had a pre-season and 4-5 months of football, but I have to admit he hasn't looked very good with the minutes he's been given so far. Still have faith tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 He's weaker than Neymar on the ball. He's weaker than Fabregas on the ball. He's lighter than them both. He can't use his back to shield the ball once the dribble doesn't come off, so he loses the ball every time unless he passes. Needs to go to the gym drastically....This is his main weakness and its going to take him too long to adapt if he doesn't fix this problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laugh1ngMan 393 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Thoughts he is a good dribbler but he just do step over which is absolutely uselessThat is what we were told but if you ever look at highlight videos on youtube you will quickly learn that his 'dribbling' consist out of feints and hoping the opponent falls for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Schurrle was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mak 4,459 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'm not convinced he is garbage just yet. But his performances have been lacklustre especially considering his price tag. I don't know what others expect but when a player gets bought by a club with an immense price tag I expect at least some sort of offensive production. He was brought to replace and underperforming player only to play even worse.This is the thing that annoys me the most. Schurrle was underperforming, but he was still a proven goalscorer and he actually wanted to stay and continue fighting for his place at Chelsea. Schurrle almost had a goalscoring record of 1 in 3 in the PL last season, which is fantastic considering he was mainly used as a sub and often out of position. Consider his luck with injuries/illness this season, I think it was a big big mistake to let him go, especially for this guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Anyone else get the increasing feeling that we've been absolutely mugged paying £26m this guy? Signs don't look good to say the very least. There's a difference between needing a period of adaption and consistently looking absolutely useless...He's a decent player, a good player even when playing in the right circumstances. But I don't see him becoming more than a squad player. And before I get the 'he's still adapting reaction', I said this before he signed.I hope I'm wrong though.

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Probably not the best idea to have let go of TWO familiar players in one window in exchange for one newbie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Salah and Schurrle scored. Mata and KDB with assists. Lolz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mak 4,459 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Is he a good dribbler? Or is he just really flashy?Don't know how you can be a good dribbler when in every appearance a player has come up behind him, simply puts himself between Cuadrado and the ball and Cuadrado falls over...if it really is supposed to be his biggest strength, then I honestly think he's dead in the water.

Jase 43,479 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Like Jake and Styles have mentioned above, not going to pass judgment on Cuadrado just yet. But apart from the Everton game, he hasn't really done anything useful to suggest that he would be a key player for us. Underwhelming so far to say the least.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 The fuck is going on with Cuadrado? He looked like lost kid in supermarket.I dont want to say that, I in fact never write off anyone, but Cuadrado seems to be good player who plays in absolutely wrong league. He got bullied every damn time (its stoke, but still) and couldnt keep the ball anyhow. When he recieved ball and lost it imeddiately, forcing Iva to run and chase the ball...boy I was pissed. You dont need 10 games to do something out of that situation, but Cuadrado just stood there for stoke player to take the ball. He had 30 minutes and seemed to move away from the ball instead of trying to impact the game and show his skills. His dribbling was absolute crap too, his confidence is below zero I believe.But in the end, he is 26, he is proven top player who we paid alot of money for. He isnt young like Schurrle or Salah to say he needs time etc. He is prime player who needs to give at least some kind of impact. I dont expect him to play like Hazard, but at least perform on level of Navas ffs.I cant believe people still talk about he needs games, he needs time to adopt etc. Why Sanchez, Hazard, Costa etc didnt need time to adopt then? Its just excuse to make 25m player look less a flop so far, because honestly thats what he is right now.Now if he gets 30minutes and performs like shit, why should he get a full game or even more in row? Its obvious he wont get that and if thats only way for him to succeed here, then he will never make it.But I think the league just doesnt suit him, he was unbelievably fragile and unbalanced in most games for us, while we need to add some power to wings.Its early, but from what I saw he isnt what he was supposed to be, at age 26 either you make it or break it, you dont need whole season and time to show what you got.But also he lost all the confidence too, either big thanks to Mou or he is just another one who cant take it to the next level...

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I would not be that surprised, if he is loaned in the summer. Jose usually doing something strange like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to say that, I in fact never write off anyone, but Cuadrado seems to be good player who plays in absolutely wrong league. After today I was thinking the same. Having said that its way too early to write him off, he's obviously not settled yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakez 755 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 And people where moaning about Willian's pricetag... (wich is still a tad too much). But it looks like we really got robbed on this one, Hope he surprises me because we don't need passengers at this stage of the season (looking at Oscar too).
