Popular Post! Barbara 15,149 Posted April 6, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted April 6, 2014 The thing with Ivanovic is that he's the player that gives the most of himself EVERY SINGLE MATCH. You can't look away from that when half your team (when not more) seems to play heartless. Those things make a difference. I just don't get why Mourinho doesn't try to reverse things. Let Ivanovic play in the left (he'll continue to give his blood in matches, will continue to be a good defender, and will continue to do nothing attacking) and have Azpili go to the right. I wish Mourinho did it at least once and see what happens. They're both very reliable players with a lot of commitment every single match, so why not sacrifice the least technical attacking between the two of them if reversed positions in the flank won't affect the defensive part of the game?

Barbara 15,149 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 suspended for semifinal? i remember the graphic showing up "misses next match" not sure thoughyes, he is. The only player. We go with Luiz, Willian, Mikel and someone else with only one card away next match.This guy is just so passionate about this club, this shirt and his job that I don't give a fuck if his crosses are terrible and he compromises our attacks way more than acceptable at this level of competitiveness and football. He makes it up. we've won two european titles and a league with this guy there. He gives his all, he's a great defender and while it'll be great to watch Azpili playing in his rightful position, we'll miss Iva, simply because to afford Azpili in the right we have to play Cole - who hasn't played a football match (except a few minutes against Stoke) in more weeks than I can count and who was already in a deep dip of form even before he's been injured. Cole was displaced by the team from a guy that was playing at the opposite side of his natural position and who's struggled to find his feet there in the first few matches. That's how bad Cole was, but let's hope he'll at least defend decently (his slowness really concerns me).But I have a lot of respect and love for Mr. Branislav Ivanovic and I don't think we can afford him to leave (although I do think Mourinho could try to reverse him instead of Azpili next season if Luke doesn't come) Toli, Strike and DYC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo11bluecl 207 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Frank. In a game against Atletico he would likely be a passage anyway, intensity would be too high for him to handle so don't think we will miss him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Why do people insult him so much? He's scored some of the most timely goals for us. How soon you all forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 The cross towards the end that bounced awkwardly in front of Cech and really could have gone anywhere... Why did Ivanovic once again refuse to close down the player crossing? He gives wingers and full backs so much time to pick their cross it's ridiculous.

Henrique 9,133 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Easily the most frustrating player of the season, because he keeps playing game after game, game after game, and he kills our attacking opportunities game after game, game after game.I also get the feeling Mourinho believe Ivanovic IS his ideal RB, which is even more frustrating. duo11bluecl, Spyker and The Chels 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is worse he might be the reason we are gonna miss out on Shaw too. I actually hope PSG come in and bid 20m for him so we could sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 An absolute rock today. Marshalled a defence including a guy making his debut fantastically and will hopefully play there more next season if we get a left-back in.Mugged off Suarez all day long. boshman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
