Styles 9,790 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 It's his last season. Hate to see him go out like this but such is life.If this club is serious about rebuilding he will be one of the first to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Tbh, I've actually passed the stage of being mad at Ivanovic. Now I'm just mostly embarrassed for him. Seriously, if I were in his shoes, particularly in that first half, I would have just walked off the field to save any remaining dignity.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I just have visions of him walking down Fulham Road during the day dodging old grannies by shuffling sideways with his hands behind his back.

Styles 9,790 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Constantly at fault. Why has neither manager dropped him permanently?!First manager didn't drop him because his 80% of his game plan revolved around Ivanovic winning headers.New manager is just too new to know any better.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I do ponder one thing, if Ivanovic is dropped who do you guys want in? The way I see it we've got 2 options;Azpi - Terry - Zouma - BabaorAina - Terry - Zouma - AzpiIgnoring choice of CBs, do you guys think Baba is ready to make that LB spot his? I mean Azpilicueta is in fact a terrific left-back for all intents and purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 We played 7 games without Ivanovic during his injury and conceded 8.Since his return 9 games 6 conceded.Ivanovic is passed it and needs replacing but droppinghim won't magically turn our form around.

BXL70 396 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Ivanovic has been dreadful once again. Just one example: when Martial hit the woodwork. Ivan was completely at fault. He was completely lost on the pitch. I feel embarrassed for him. He should not play again for us. Anyone else cannot be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El P. 1,354 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 You cannot be captain and get yourself a yellow like that. Performance was maybe even decent, but what was going on in his head? Damn. MichaelDance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
