It's his first season, he hasn't fully adapted yet, so a few pumps along the road are normal. Especially when the whole team itself is not too sure what to do on the pitch. He's a great option to have either way. I love him, he has a great footballing mind, all he needs to do is score a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 30m euros minimum? If they offer him at that price take it. Even anything up to 45-50m euros I think with his age, ability and potential growth, would be a good move to make. Also people on about lack of goals from him thats never what his games been about so stop expecting him to put out Lampard-esque stats 😂 He's a guy who's tidy with the ball, could be more progressive and his technical attributes are more than good enough to do that, hes also good at dribbling which in CM is very useful. Defensively/tactically he has a bit to go but I think there has been a slight improvement since arriving. Stats and Sideshow Luiz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccg 1,528 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Chelsea fans felt strongly about Mateo Kovacic's performance during Brighton clash https://www.givemesport.com/1430642-chelsea-fans-felt-strongly-about-mateo-kovacics-performance-during-brighton-clash?autoplay=off Him and Alonso should have been off at ht , bench these 2 4 a while i agree , 1 assist no goals not good enough simples. Ruben-Barkley ahead of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I knew he was not great in attack but I didn't expect even Kante to be better than him in attack. He's a great dribbler though and good tackler which is needed in the big games but in the small games where we need to attack, Kovacic is practically afraid of the 18 Box, very poor attacking wise.

mccg 1,528 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Kovačić wants permanent Chelsea stay, doesn’t think Hazard wants to leave either https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours-news/2018/12/26/18156122/kovacic-wants-permanent-chelsea-stay-doesnt-think-hazard-wants-to-leave-either Lets hope the bit about Hazard is true, yeah Kovacic could play in that Jorginho role imho , going forward he dosn't bring much to the xmas table , playing him ,Kante,Jorginho together week in week , week out ,will see us in trouble as has been the case recently.

Thor 2,713 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Have not been impressed with him. Disappointing really. Doesn't take enough risks, plays far too safe and is scared to shoot and go towards goal. Very tidy with the ball, but only passes sideways or backwards, He is quick enough and talented enough to push forward and give it a go. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,189 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Mateo Kovacic’s superb highlights from this month https://www.chelsea-news.co/2019/01/video-mateo-kovacics-superb-highlights-month/ Mateo Kovacic has impressed since arriving at Chelsea, and his influence in midfield has been notable alongside Jorginho and N’Golo Kante. His silky dribbling skills and the way he wears the 17 remind people of Eden Hazard, and that’s clear in this video showing his best efforts from the last month.'' There are some great moments in there, he just needs to start finding the net too to become a really complete midfielder.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I like what I have seen so far but he still has a bit to prove. Not sure how possible it will be to sign him come the end of the season, especially as talks of Barella etc are going about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1988 1,348 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Not convinced, think he needs another season in the Premiership, at times when he dribbles I genuinely thought it was Hazard who had the ball and knits things together well but he lacks the extra bit of sharpness for me, I don't know if that comes with being paired with other midfield options. If we have the opportunity to sign him for £30-35m in the summer, in today's market, I think it'd be good business. Even though he has much more than Barkley, I put them in the same category right now, decent options, nothing special, does in and around enough but nothing more.

I thought he was a replacement for fabregas as well as backing up jorginho or kante. RLC could be out for a while and barkley hasn't been playing well.

RLC could be out for a while and barkley hasn't been playing well.Would like to see him in the Jorginho role. He’s comfortable with the ball and can play under pressure. That would free up his position to a more attack minded midfielder like Loftus-Cheek in the Hamsik role. Right now he doesn’t really offer much offensively and like Barkley, plays it way too safe.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk kellzfresh and Unionjack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Kovacic has been quite disappointing lately. He's obviously incredible talented but you barely even notice that he's on the pitch because he doesn't do anything with the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No intensity. No 2nd gear. We also have some good passers. Luiz,Jorgi,Kovacic. All good. But we dont get many of the lads moving into space off the ball. Yesterday you watch. Kovacic was always looking to see where Willan was. Amd the one time someone tried to get into space Luiz played a spot on ball to Pedro. We do have the ability to play well but its just getting that ooomph and passion thats missing. kc_blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimmas 131 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I dont get it, why he plas as our LMF he is so rigid, static, lack of desire to create anything meaningfull when he have the ball, only sideway pass kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
