Branislav Ivanovic

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

I hate him.

Yeah, we got that.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Yeah, we got that.

I'm glad for you. What a telling contribution. Thanks. Go back to hating Ballack please.

[Shaan 263]

scapegoat again. By all means wasn't the worst today. Yes he shouldn't be starting at a club like this and out of position but today he put in a decent performance and was not at fault at all for any of the goals or our erratic offensive display. Criticizing him is ok, but pretending his selection would be our only problem completely misses the point. Our deficiencies go far deeper than him.

he has been shit...from what i have seen.

[LAM09 6,744]

I'm hoping someone has money to throw down the drain and take him off our hands in over a week's time.

apparently not quite tall enough too make it as a RB, sign up Crouch!!!

[DYC. 7,542]

He's so slow.

A fullback.

Only at Chelsea.

I don't even blame him. He tries. But he should've been let go or replaced as a starter a long time ago. He played his part in last season's title but it's not like it would not have been won without him.

[Styles 9,790]

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.

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.

he considers it for about a sec then he remembers the number of zeroes on his paycheck.

[Special Juan 27,422]

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.

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.

Gus was the one would originally gave him his chance, but should have seen enough to see he's past his best.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

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 - Baba

or

Aina - Terry - Zouma - Azpi

Ignoring 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.

[DYC. 7,542]

Let's be honest, his goal vs Sunderland guaranteed him at least 10 starts under Hiddink's reign.

[Tomo 21,733]

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.
