Special Juan 28,141 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Can see a bench role for Mitsyi in this one, just a few days too early and hopefully see him for a decent time off the bench. Have the fucking guts to drop Ivanovic please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Why would you want Ivanovic dropped from a preseason friendly? If he isn't in the plans of Conte then we're going to need to buy a new fullback. If he is, then at the very least I want him to be as physically ready as possible for the new season.

To actually see other options as well as him being absolute average. There are enough games between now and the season opener with WHU to get him and everyone match fit. It runs a lot deeper than fitness in the case of Branislav Ivanovic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if a fit Ivanovic is disastrous, how bad is an unfit Ivanovic? The thing is we have't got any real other options which the real issue here, not whether or not he starts a friendly match.

I mean we could be really really adventurous and jump right out the comfort zone and go Azpi RB and Kenedy at LB, can that be any worse than what Ivanovic showed us last season or the shit he served up in the last game?

Definitely not worse, but I think most would agree definitely not up to the standards of a team like Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I would rather have him physically ready to sit on the bench or in the stands for a whole season. Azpi+Kenedy is not up to the standard required at Chelsea; Ivanovic is not up to the standard required at Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!Hazard! 3,394 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Go with a 4-4-2 and test how the youth as well as the regulars fit into this formation. Costa————Traore Moses———RLC——————Chalobah———Willian Baba————Terry——————Ivanovic————Aina Begovic Second half bring in Batshuayi, Oscar, Kenedy etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAM09 7,052 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Don't field Iva or Mikel today and we should win comfortably. I expect to see Michy make his debut at some point tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
