you could be right ,,,but if he was at CB their Left wing channel wouldnt be as open

It's a difficult one.

Is he a better CB than Cahill? Probably not as imo both are similarly error prone.

Is he a better RB than Azpi is a RB/LB? Offensively yes, defensively no.

Is he a better RB than Luis is a LB? Offensively no, defensively I'm unsure - neither is great 1v1, Ivanovic is stronger and better aerially but Luis switches off less and is better at tackling & pressing.

Is Luis a better LB than Azpi is a RB/LB? Offensively yes, defensively no.

Clearly each FB has their own merits and I don't think Cahill being dropped is realistic. The least we can hope for is a lot more rotation between the 3 FBs depending on the game just like we've been seeing recently.

I'm not so sure. Costa is a monster.

Costa is a monster...but I think he isnt as strong as people think. He is strong obviously, just not as much as people make him to be. Drogba was twice physical monster that can be seen in ball hold up, jumping etc... :halo:

I think Costa would explode and go in fight sooner, but Iva is physicaly stronger. He can cope with any player in PL, while Costa got outmuscled against certain defenders in PL.

Ivan maybe built like a brick shithouse but he dives around like a pussy and it's embarrassing. Put Zabaleta in that position and he'd have scored the goal instead of flopping about pathetically with his arms in the air.

fight isnt all about how strong you are. especially between 2 strong people.

shame ivan messed up the easy cut back to costa in the 1st half, but then does the cross of the season later, and costa slices

After the diving controversy of recent week against Hull that put us in a negative spotlight, he goes on and does that further reinforcing the sterotype that most footballs IQ is in the double digits. If I was Jose I would be having some very harsh words with him and would implement a policy to fine any Chelsea player that dives from this point forward.
