lucio 5,418 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 i think he is still past his sell by date as a rb. still worth having around as a central defender option though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Why don't we try him and Zouma RB combo with Azpi and Baba at least that's the short term future it seems mediator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I said it before his injury and I'll say it again: He was being scapegoated by everyone because it is much easier to pin all the blame on one player rather than think about all the factors and issues. And that's not defend him or his performances. But he just has't been as bad as people have made him out to be (or at least not as worse than the past couple of seasons...) He has been tho, but he was never the reason our overall defence is so bad, I mean we broke defensive records in Joses first coming with fullback positions being the chink in our armour.

Popular Post! DYC. 7,542 Posted November 2, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted November 2, 2015 Di Matteo or the club - my money is on the club - anticipated his decline, or better said, saw the need for a future successor and bought Azpilicueta. Cole on the opposite flank already had an in-house successor in Bertrand. Good moves. Fast forward three years and they're both good fullbacks.But then Mourinho was appointed and he went into a different direction. That's something that has hurt the club for years and you would think they would finally learn. Always swerving.Cole gone, Bertrand gone.Ivanovic has been declining for years. Azpilicueta, his successor, moved to opposite flank.Luis in and out.Baba in but apparently not good enough. Centreback Zouma is prefered at fullback and the less said about his performances there, the better.Now we're crying for better options.

the wes 7,212 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 We all agree that ivan is playing awful as a right back why not try him out as a centre back cause are current centre backs are not doing a great job at the moment at the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Branislav Ivanovic is wanted by Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini.The 31-year-old will be a free agent in the summer when his Chelsea contract expires and Mancini is already plotting to take him to the San Siro.His interest in the defender has been relayed and the Italian giants are hopeful that a deal can be struck.Ivanovic, who has suffered an alarming dip in form this season, had hoped to earn a new deal under Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge.But Chelsea’s policy when it comes to players over the age of 30 is that contract extensions will not be discussed until the February of the final year of their deal. If the decision is taken not to offer him a new contract then Inter will be waiting to snap him up.Apologies for the long post stroey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 You've got to give it to him though, he gets in some great positions! The space he finds in the box, was so easily picked out today by our attacking players. It really would be interesting to play him just on attack - Dani Alvez style. Obviously he'd have to work on his final ball, but if you free him off defensive duties?Frustrating as usual, but frustratingly good? Lol(Or am I just too stoned?

LAM09 7,056 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 His crossing is atrocious. Imagine Alves at RB instead. [emoji17] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I don't know what's worse...the fact that he failed to put the right cross when there was a good chance, or the fact that when he finally put in a good cross today every attacking player near it failed to connect with it.
