Go retire ffs

[Fernando 6,453]

Not his fault that Mourinho, Hiddink and now Conte keeps picking him....

Why is this clown is still starting matches after matches for us ?

Hopefully Alonso makes the lb spot his and Azpil owns the rb position and Ivan becomes a squad player rather than a starter and the phase out begins.

This is what was said about Baba last year and nothing. 

We just waste money on Alonso like we did with Baba. That's what the board likes to do, waste money on mediocre players.

He played well against Burnley and kept his place for Swanses. He played well against swansea and kept his spot for Liverpool. It helps that Alonso is new. Hopefully cogs start turning now.

Well i'll give Alonso a chance before tarring him with the same brush,i'm hoping he can defend better than Baba,as managers are judged on Their signings im hoping he does a decent job and have the domino effect of pushing Ivan to a squad member for this season.

For me personally, I would have replaced Ivanovic when the Summer transfer window was still open...but of course. Our manager/board is a genius, and he/they cannot see the obvious fact that Iva has already declined as a footballer for about a year and a half now.

The scenes when Alonso starts at LB and turned out worse than Ivanovic... 

[Blue Gino 377]

Opponents don't fear him in attack. Give him acres of space because they know his crosses are shit. Can't buy Conte's excuse that Alonso was a week away from being ready. That's bullshit.

I've totally accepted that this is going to happen.

We won't know until Conte actually does something.

[Special Juan 27,424]

Ivanovic will not be dropped this season because he is VC and is seen as some sort of 'warrior'

 

[Fulham Broadway 16,831]

Pretty much nailed on the owner picks him

If you read Carlos' book he categorically states Abramovich picks players for transfer and team selection

If he ends up being worse than Ivanovic then that itself is a feat. I'm optimistic at the moment.
