ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 He's always been a bit of a twat but he was a great player so he was allowed a lot of latitude. Now he's not doing it on the pitch so he can't get away with as much off of it, although this whole story makes me feel a little sad for Ashley.Nah, he's always been fine and out of the spotlight off the field. I've still not come to terms with all this yet, Ash was playing well in the first 5 games of the season, looked quick and fit and now he can't get a game and when he does, he hasn't quite been the same. Is it possible for a player who's always been a machine fitness wise to just lose it within weeks? Very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 In theory he should be able to do what he wants in his free time, but players know that they should have the club's image in mind whatever they do. Because doing something silly like attending Arsenal's party a few days before we play them gives the media something to write and make stories about and you end up discussing the event and not focusing on the game like we are right now. However one looks at it, he should be able to attend Arsenal party, whether jose likes it or not. There is no reason to reprimand him for it. Play him, after all, there is no better than him at LB. These idiotic quarrels create a bad atmosphere at the club, only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Of all the times to go to an Arsenal xmas party. When he's not been playing for us, under Jose Mourinho, half a week ish before we play them. Smart move Ash. When he could have gone out drinking with Rooney. It could have stirred up dust in the Rooney thread, atleast. Stingray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korea 734 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I dont think I seen a good game from Cole this season...Must be back with Cheryl or gunning another one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,194 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I dont think I seen a good game from Cole this season...Must be back with Cheryl or gunning another one...Age, combined with lack of body strength and loss of his general pace which is often why he is a liability. His excellent last ditched tackles and blocks remain though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Decent game.His blocks reminds me of his former self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Positionally he made several mistakes, but he used his experience to make a few last-ditch tackles and block that were much more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 i have noticed attackers go past him/get behind him easily these days. and whenever he makes an attacking run he runs out of energy and loses the ball even if he has a big head start on the chasers.would rather play bertrand, if he is even still around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Worst player on Chelsea imo. LB is def a worry now. Azpi is first choice for sure and I don't see Cole even coming close to regaining it. Korea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Flash 1,144 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 He was very strong today, some fantastic clearances and managed to get the ball of different players many time. Great player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 You know, fair play to Cole for handling being dropped very well and waiting patiently for his opportunity again. Ash is decent.Still celebrates Chelsea goals the same way, people doubt that he actually loves CFC but I think he does. Beigl and Peace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korea 734 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I just watched the keane and vieira documentary and Vieira said Ashley Cole was groomed to be the next captain after him....Interesting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
