That tweet speaks volumes.

Dodgy tweet...

Probably retiring or leaving :/

[jmarlow 458]

Wow looks like this will be his last season at the club!

[Gilvorak 3,734]

You guys are reading way too much in that tweet. It was more of a tongue in cheek comment pertaining to his current playing time.

Anyway, by far his best all around performance for us in months. Was outstanding today.

Best solution for us moving forward. Ash = LB. Azpi = RB.

I agree. So weird that José likes Ivanovic more at RB.

[Blue Armour 4,168]

In the past two games, he seems to have recovered some of the attacking mojo he had...when in full form, he is the best full back when going forward, in our team...

[sdrcfc 461]

Or maybe that Shaw is coming meaning he'll get less game time? Think positive people!

[bababoom 4,478]

IMO he still looks very limited going forward, when he gets the ball he instantly looks for Hazard. He's still suspect at the back, which is my main worry, he's declining pretty fast. Last season he was pretty poor offensively but was decent enough at defending, now he's poor at both.

I think it is more about size we are a short team right now basically our front four are just small (other than ba n toress).

btw I am talking about defending set pieces

Shaw...

Agree with that. He had a decent or OK game yesterday. Got forward to offer himself as a passing option for combination play and create space for others but that is normally what Cole does these days only IMO. Can't even remember when was the last time he got forward and actually be decisive in attacks and not to mention, cross the ball!

What surprised me was when he gave a back pass while he had space to do a lowcross and had three chelsea players in the box.

Whether Shaw comes or not, Ash should be here for an extra year if he wants to be. He's the best all round LB the world has seen in years, Shaw would learn buckets from him.

then just have him as coach

Correct, especially since Ivan is our best centre back!

So we should award him another contract extension on the basis of sentimental reasons like reputation rather than current worth to the team, ability and performance?
