Branislav Ivanovic

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

One of the worst performance iv seen from a chelsea player in years. This clown is the most overrated POS ever. I hope Mourinho gets sacked if he doesnt drop this clown.

[DYC. 7,542]

Shocking display.

I don't know why people go on criticising Ivanovic, he isn't a rb and is not built as one . He's a cb with those strong muscules and can really read the game well. It is Mourinho not Ivanovic that should be criticised for our weak rb position

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Poor game.

but he plays at RB alledgely

[yuvala 2,167]

he IS NOT a RB ffs ..
I bet u atleast 70% of the goals we concede come from his side.

He always lets crosses in and his strength isn't always enough to deal with the pacey wingers.

I love the guy but enough is enough.

He will still be the first name on the team sheet next game and throughout the season after JT and Hazard. I wish I could perform so poorly and inconsistently at my job and still have that level of job security that he has in the team.

[Special Juan 27,385]

We created a problem for ourselves making him vice, he may of well had a halo over his head saying saying 'I can't be dropped'

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH FFS. LB, CB, RW & CM all needed. Yet we have none.

Promote a few from academy, after all we have the best academy in the world don't we

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

If course his a Rb his played over 200 games there. If he wasn't so obsessed with rushing upfield and actually decided to defend for once he would be left for dead so often.

It's really fucking ironic that Mourinho places so much emphasis on the defensive side of things and yet somehow, turns a complete blind eye on Ivanovic's defensive performance at RB. He has made so many fucking mistakes in that position but still gets to play every week. Other players have been dropped for far less than that! It really is a FUCKING DISGRACE!!!

I miss Bosingwa.

I agree to that, but because Ivanovic is one of Jose's "generals", there's no way he would get dropped!

I feel this is going to be the season where we discover Ivanovic's weaknesses! He's a year old from last season, and he isn't getting any younger now. At 31, with a build like he has, yeah he's solid in games and last season, he scored some REALLY important goals, but defensively, against small, pacy, low-central gravity players, he's fucking hopeless, because he can't keep up with them!

Guys like Azpilicueta have no problem dealing with quick players because he's young, and he doesn't hold back in chasing them up and going in for a tackle! With Brano, he's half-way up the pitch trying to put in a cross, then when we lose the ball, he has all that way to get back, suddenly there are open spaces to the right where the opposition can operate freely!

I'm starting to think maybe selling Filipe Luis back to Atletico was more of a bad idea than I'm making out... because Azpi could have easily slotted into RB, making Ivanovic work harder for his place, and Luis would have made the LB spot his own. It would have been a chance for Filipe to get more games under his belt and show Jose the grit he gave playing for Atletico before he joined us.

If last summer's transfer market was clockwork, this summer is the complete opposite! No improvements made! (slightly gone off topic with this bottom line, but had to be said!)

I miss Bosingwa.

Too far.

[The Chels 2,502]

He's no longer reliable at defending set pieces either.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Shocking.

[Jase 43,479]

He's no longer reliable at defending and attacking set pieces either.

Fixed.
