'Kompany's marker', 'one player'... Why can't Jose just name him?

This fully annoyed me. Why is he still trying to protect Ivanovic?

I'm very scared that Ivanovic just won't get dropped this season. He was absolutely awful today. An awful performance from our captain. He's not a leader at all.

Exactly. Just imagine if Mourinho showed as much blind faith in the likes of KDB as he does Ivanovic...

No need to really. At least it seems like he realizes the problem and will drop Ivanovic the next game. I think. ^{Pretty please?}

So does that mean he's finaly realizing Iva is at fault ?

I fully expect him to start the next game. This guy must be thanking his luck! "I play like shit, but the boss still starts me every game? wow.." Brana the untouchable!! Carry on, mate. Carry on.

Jose blasts Schurrle last season against City. Hazard vs Atletico. And others, but with Ivanovic, no names. "One of our players". Ffs.

Because as he himself admitted he doesn't blame defenders for defensive mistakes. How dare Hazard or Schurrle make one though?

It's official, ivanovic has naked pictures of Mourinho. Jose can't do shit

Unfortunately, that's true.

That was trash talking really. It only applies to Ivanovic. Cahill has been dropped for making defensive mistakes, thus indirectly blaming him.

Why, oh why José promoted him as vice-captain ? Ivanovic wearing the armband like today is one of the lowest points since Mourinho came back — and I weight my words. He may be a "warrior" but he is not a leader, far from it... That is not even the biggest problem ; it is that he is the archetype of the anti-leader ! He just is not bothered by nothing : it takes shots thinking he is Roberto Carlos ; he cannot be bothered to defend when the opposition crosses ; leaves his position to play as high as our striker ; etc..

I hope the next time he wears the armband is while playing for the reserve team..

in defence ( I think ) of Jose ,, once he had taken JT off who was left as a leader ??

ivan deserves to be dropped but some people need to show respect for him after all the important goals he scored for us and against benfica in europa league final some people on this forum have short memories

I hope the signing of Baba will put his time as our RB to an end. Move him back to his proper position.

I think that most of us love him because he gave us a lot of great moments,but now the time has come that he has to be benched.The reason for that is that he does not give the performances we need for this important position,so the is the logical conclusion that Azpi has to go to his natural position.
