You don't agree with the decision but it is not based on bias. probably the reason we cant string 2 PL wins together and that we have conceded 5 goals at home against teams that are in the bottom half of the table. while we are in a relegation battle.

We must remember that Jose did, and Guss does, see Baba playing everyday. and what do we have to show for it? other than sloppy goals and dropped points didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If correct it would offer an explanation for his often bizarre performances. I've no evidence to support my guess however and it's the sort of thing one shouldn't say without evidence. You think he's being bribed to perform shit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Given Brana's form and the team's results it is obvious that both managers would choose the alternative if given the slightest encouragement and i do mean the slightest. Many are reluctant to accept this statement of the obvious but, it is a very sound guess to think that Baba has not offered even so small a level of encouragement.

Parky 739 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 So looks like Baba is going to end up as our other LB's Luis and Bertrand. Poor kid deserves better than to sit in the stands marginalised and ignored.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Amelia and Blackman I feel sorry for, were conceding loads of goals with Courtois and Begovic and neither are getting a chance, I mean who signs a world cup wimner and doesn't play them?

DYC. 7,542 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Sell him. What's the point of having a player in the team that can not be trusted to do his actual job, which is performing on the pitch. But then again, Ake wasn't good enough to play either. Now he's playing for Watford in the same league. But that must mean he simply wasn't good enough for Chelsea. Neither were Bertrand and Luis. So get someone new again. Or no? Maybe sign a RB and switch him to the left as well. Chelsea seems to have very special demands overall, especially at LB. Not so much at RB. Wish those high standards showed on the pitch. Right-footed Azpilicueta or bust apparently. Bodes well for the future. I'm confused. The Skipper and Amblève. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is with Bertrand is go to about page 30 on his thread when he was getting regular game time and it was dawning on many that he was quite ordinary, decent but that's it, it's only since he's been gone his reputation has gone up but that is often the case here, I'm convinced its not long until someone suggests Cuadrado will be the answer to all our prayers, after all, a couple of people were saying Torres would make this team better during the Leicester thread Essien19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it amazing how Chelsea manages to find all these incompetent players. Kind of like the man who blames everyone but himself for his troubles. Maybe the players aren't the problem. Something just doesn't make sense to me. Why do (so many) players look (so much) worse here? Tomo, Amblève., Styles and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amblève. 4,995 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Can we please use him in a meaningful game now? Even when you factor in his defensive deficits his offense not only makes up for it but will make talks about the defensive side of his game completely redundant if he's given consistent playing time to grow.
