Used this before but only .gif that I think of when I see him play.  Wow just wow

 

We dominated with him in midfield. Soon as he was subbed we couldnt even get out of our half.

Don't think his withdrawal made much of a difference. Leicester stepped up their game and we couldn't sustain the early good work after a long week. Bakayoko was OK at times but still looked like a headless chicken most of the time. Thank god Conte took him off at HT - which says a lot considering Conte has been always been reactive with these decisions - or otherwise, we would gone down to 10 men and lost the game!

Maybe he needs a rest at a different club.. Or next season it'll suddenly click into place and we'll be all who is that guy?! Look at him go.... Though probably not....

he is done for this season. he has below zero confidence, let him reset in the summer.

There's something else he has zero. And that is talent.

This has got to be the worst footballer Ive ever seen play for Chelsea. My god hes shocking. 

Whoever decided to bring him in, and pay 40M should have his balls cut off in front of the Shed End.

He has regressed so much since Monaco... doesn’t even look like a pro footballer atm.

He's just out of his depth. One proper season as a starter shouldn't have been enough to sway the board.

I'm really speechless when it comes to this guy.. A complete waste of space. 

Doesn't even look like a pro footballer. I have no idea what his role is anymore.. he's not good at anything. Infact he's bad at everything.

[Fernando 6,453]

Crap season. 

He has next season to prove something, otherwise year a terrible piece of business by the club. '

Morata is also in that list.

Needs to be loan out this summer I doubt no club want to buy him with his form 

[bigbluewillie 1,859]

At first when I see the team I thought let's give him a chance.

Well he was so bad it beggars belief he did one positive thing hit a crossfield pass of about 35 yards, from the on it was, get caught in possession, fuck any pass up, running around like a headless chicken absolutely no sense of positional play, it goes on and on the guy is totally useless.

Why the fuck don't we have Ampadu next to N'golo surely he can't be anyworse that the shit we've got.

I want to see the 3 of them out at the end of the season Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Fabregas, we need at least one top quality MF to replace them.

Whilst on the subject where the fuck is this Barkley, ffs what a midfield we have

Then I see the wee man playing 2 games in 1, his energy level, his ability to cover the pitch is something to behold, but he's so much more than this.

[Polo7 3,496]

As poor as he was, we looked a lot worse with Fabregas in the team. Urgent need of a midfielder in the summer!!!!

[Special Juan 27,424]

Absolute garbage of the highest order.

I know he's had a shocker, especially second half of the season but he *has* shown glimpses of a being a midfield beast (Atletico, Spurs away and United home come to mind) just hope he can find that player again

Every bad player has a good game once in a while. Torres had some great games. Even if Baka played well in those games, he wasn't MOTM of any of those games. At least Morata when he played well, had some MOTM performances including the United home.

 

MOTM is an opinion. Point stands that IF Baka can produce that level of performance against that level of opposition he can be a top player for us. whether that performance or confidence ever comes back if another question

Nah. He's finished (at least in Chelsea).

I'd rather get somebody else than wishing and praying he'll turn around next season. We should maybe keep Morata (because he did a lot more and we paid £70m), but Baka? Cuts your losses quickly. Whatever he had in Monaco, he barely showed it to us this season. I can only think of 1 great Baka game, everything else was crap.

He was actually really good upto and including Atletico away and was giving us the drive and power we lacked from Matic, which makes his fall from grace since then just truly bizarre.

Dare I say it again...honeymoon period?

The PL is a whole different ballgame to Ligue 1. Maybe Baka doesn't fit our style of play, I don't know. But something isn't right, and nothing is improving.

When Baka gets the ball, I get nervous. We could seriously risk next season by keeping him and praying that he majorly improves or get another midfielder that is supposed to help Kante.

It's very annoying for Kante that he is doing everything.

Can't be explained with a honeymoon period, that would be a more apt description for Malouda's first season, the sheer drop after Leti away is something i have never seen before. I don't even get that mad watching him i am just staggered, only explanation i can think of is that his injury that was supposedly delaying the medical was more serious than we thought and rushing him back for Spurs while it helped on the day has ultimately cost us.
