Jase 43,479 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Not too sure about giving Cole a new contract. He is already 33 this year and even though he can still contribute to the team in more ways than one, his performances in recent times haven't been all that convincing and consistent. If anything, it already highlights his decline quite a bit. He needs to be used sparingly and rotate with the other LB (goodness knows who is it gonna be long term wise) or otherwise, there's probably be gonna be issues if Cole plays every week after getting that new contract.

Jype 6,398 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I still stand by my opinion that he should not even have been given a new contract last year. Back then I still somewhat understood the reasons on why he was awarded the new deal but no fucking way he deserves one now based on his performances this season. semiller1313, Stats, Mufassir08 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Ash had a decent game tonight, one or two nervy moments in the first half but overall he was solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Oh gawd. Watching him start again yesterday suddenly brought back those anger of seeing him playing. He is so one footed it is beyond a joke! Every touch, every pass have to be done with his left foot and every time when there is a chance to pass the ball forward, instead of doing so with his right foot, he takes the easy option out and pass it backwards because he couldn't execute the pass with his right foot or even just do with his left!

Would still start him against Palace though, just to see if he can continue to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With him only doing everything with his left, it makes so easy for opposition to stifle him offensively with the passing. Press him and he eventually pass it backwards even when there is a forward pass ahead but he couldn't do so with his right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, despite Azpi is a right footed player, a RB playing at LB, he can still do things with his left foot. Even Bertrand is not so one footed like Cole.
