OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Just saw all of the 'warlord' and 'warrior' posts.Not sure how anyone can honestly say that after seeing the numerous times of him diving and screaming like he's been shot. Stuff like this just makes those antics even more embarrassing. I'll say again, man-up Brana. To be fair shit loads of players do it.

Madmax 9,219 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The way Ivan's reputation as a defender never dissipates is akin to people still thinking Iniesta is some god. I love the guy but come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mak 4,459 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 To be fair shit loads of players do it. Great, not my point though. Not many players do it who are 6.2 and built like a tank. Would JT, Zouma, Matic or Mikel carry on the way he does? Would they hit the floor as quickly as Brana does when he gets tackled by players much smaller than him? Not a chance in hell.The point is that labeling a prone diver as a 'warrior' is absolutely ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAB 1,030 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 MOTM, end of. I'm tired of giving it to flair players. He defended well and scored the winner which was a screamer. What more can we ask? Hoping to return to his early form. dUMB and RoyalBlues 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 He's visibly upped his game in the last couple of weeks. Have to admit that, despite my criticism of him earlier in the season, he really is starting to show a bit more consistency. Okay, he was terrible in the first half against City and especially careless in possession, but besides that 45 minutes he's been rock solid and a real menace from an offensive viewpoint. Fair play son. pHaRaOn and Beepu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm not disagreeing , I don't like to see it either) ,Not necessarily, no. Especially if the definition is someone who just tanks through everything and just gets on with it. Didier is more of a leader than a warrior.Besides, we ourselves booed Didier when he was diving in the early stages of his Chelsea career. The same needs to be done to Brana if he keeps at it (though he has gone quiet on that front since being criticised I'll admit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mak 4,459 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 He's visibly upped his game in the last couple of week.He was great today, but it was only the one game to be fair. I'm struggling to remember a recent game where he played as well as he did today. Hoping he can find some consistency now and stop giving me mini-heart attacks during every game.
