CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I'm starting to really worry about him. I said when we were linked with him that he was not as good as people were making him out to be, but he's certainly much better than this!His confidence levels look bad.....I mean Torres of 2011 bad! He's obviously trying hard by tracking back even into inside our box, but give the ball away or make a simple backwards pass to the RB every single time is just terrible at any level.

It's unacceptable to be falling down anytime he's backing the defender. I thought ozil and Neymar were the physically weakest players I've seen but cuadrado is even worse. He can't dive like Neymar in the EPL so beefing up is the only option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 He is the 25% of Willian now, given they have similar roles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacquiao 1,834 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 still cant believe we signed Cuadrado instead of Felipe Anderson!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroey 2,525 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I was really excited when I saw him preparing to shoot from distance (around min 76) but then just passed it wide. It's obviously a mental problem, he is a little too cautious but I think he will improve soon. One thing he really needs to work on is his strength, Willian and Eden are also small but strong. Then he almost scored the goal but was unlucky, I was really hoping to see him dance with Drogba, haha. Hope to see that this season.

CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I think everyone needs to calm down. Stoke are probably the most physical team in the league, and Cuadrado is not used to English football yet. In Italy nearly all the times he went over would have resulted in a free kick and probably a yellow for the opposition. He's probably a little nervous but when he was dribbling down the right and attempting dummies I saw glimpses of why we brought the kid. Tbh, while he was never better than Salah, he has different qualities which I reckon we'll only see from next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pHaRaOn 2,131 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 He's too weak physically for Premier League right now. I'll judge him after few months of next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFC888 219 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hope we win the league early so that he can start consistently in the last few games.A nice little cheap goal in one of the next few games would help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laugh1ngMan 393 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 The one thing that is most dissapointing to me is that he is supposed to be a guy who never stops running but i have counted numerous of times where he took his sweet time running back and helping out the defense when we loose possession.If he would have at least a good workrate like Willian we would be able to give him some games to try and fit in, but right now he offers next to nothing and you can't give him game time because of it.Worrying....

He needs to know how to put his body in the way of the defenders so he wins the foul instead of just falling down from any touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Right now he is making Willian look like Hazard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Right now he is making Willian look like Hazard.To be fair at points yesterday the willian on show made the normal willian look like Cuadrado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Until this hour he's been the worst player for Chelsea I've ever watched.Come on, that honour will/should be Fernandos for a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Come on, that honour will/should be Fernandos for a very long time.Yh he was shit but not the 'worst'. He contributed something to the club no matter how little it was such as the Europa league run, that goal against Everton in final day, goal against Barca...etc. Sheva was worse imo as his goals were largely meaningless. Atm if Cuadrado ends his career with most of the performances like yesterday then even though he costs half of Torres he is a worse signing.

Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I don't like to judge players on a few cameo appearances but in Cuadrado's case i will. In a nutshell he's shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAB 1,030 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 It's still very early to judge Cuadrado. He has barely played and he hasn't prepared his body fully yet. I though he wasn't that terrible either. If he had scored that goal the comments here would be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblève. 4,995 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Come on, that honour will/should be Fernandos for a very long time.Not even Torres was this bad, AFAIC. Cuadrado can't even hold onto the ball for more than 5 seconds FFS Mineiro.The man, the myth. I don't think even Mineiro knows how he ended up with a contract at Chelsea. Good thing we didn't have to watch him that often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
