Branislav Ivanovic

[GermanBlue 82]

Honestly, I can imagine him being our future captain when Lamps and JT are gone, as I'm not a friend of goalies as captains. Give him 2-3 more injury-free season at this level, and he can do it. He's one of our most passionate players IMO.

I thought he was so bad yesterday with those endless horrible shots

You don't judge his performance by those shots, he's our CB! He did his job perfectly yesterday and got forward involved in attacks when people in front of him failed to do theirs. He played with all his heart Yesterday. My MOTM.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Absolutely. He was doing the job of the attackers as well.

[Danelka 209]

What the actual clusterfuck?

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Should be shoved into the reserves for the next month and have his wages docked. Absolutely disgraceful, not just the mistakes, but the casual style he took on the pitch

[Jase 43,479]

Disappointed with Ivanovic tonight. Of all people to be making mistakes, never expected him to have done so, especially when those mistakes are such schoolboy errors!!

Signs For Swansea.

Unfortunate mistakes that could've happened to anyone. I sense Ivanovic is the type of character that will come back stronger and not let his self confidence crumble like others (Yes, him).

[Corner 456]

I'll probably get a lot of abuse for this but fuck it. Ivanovic was absolutely disgraceful. Two ridiculous mistakes that cost us and his attitude throughout the whole match was even more of a disgrace.

I've been saying this since September but he his performance and attitude has dropped a hell of a lot this season. Not many will admit it because he's one of 'the old guard.' Credit where credit is due, but also criticism where criticism is due. We played very well tonight as a team and he let us down big time. Many will say I'm over-reacting but I don't think so. And this isn't some impulsive complaining either. I've been saying this about Ivanovic since the start of the season.

The truth is, if Luiz had made just one of those mistakes, there would be 30+ posts in his thread saying how bad he is. I'm sick of the double standards.

And before anyone turns this into a Torres discussion... Torres was also dreadful and does not deserve to wear that badge on his chest.

Are you kidding me? They were not 'unfortunate.' They were mistakes that came about from his dreadfully casual attitude and he should not escape criticism.

Trade with Ake? Ivan did 2 horrible mistakes, but what you are saying is nonsense. If everybody will be punish and docked his wages, Torres would be homeless right now.

Ivanovic cost us a trophy with his casual attitude and making mistakes like he had just smoked 20 pounds of weed before the match. Yet some people either want him to partner Terry or go back to RB and replace the much better performing Cesar.

[Corner 456]

If anyone actually thinks that Ivanovic is better at RB than Azpilicueta then they are delusional.

[Svita 10 186]

Ivanovic cost us a trophy with his casual attitude and making mistakes like he had just smoked 20 pounds of stones before the match. Yet some people either want him to partner Terry or go back to RB and replace the much better performing Cesar.

But it´s not over yet. Maybe he will score at Liberty twice . Otherwise he has better cross than Cesar,

[Jype 6,398]

Two horrible mistakes, it's not every day you see a defender of Ivanovic's ability do those, especially twice in the same match. Still, the overreactions from some people are ridiculous.

If everybody will be punish and docked his wages, Torres would be homeless right now.

And why shouldn't he be homeless with the way he's been playing for the past two years? He hasn't done anything to deserve even one percent of the money he's earned while at Chelsea.

It's ridiculous to suggest we fine Ivanovic for underperforming once but thinking about the big picture, imo players should have some reasonable basic weekly wage and then a shitload of various bonuses based on how well they do on the pitch. That way they wouldn't get the feeling they've already done all the hard work and can relax with unlimited money rolling in every week.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

But at RB he has not been great this season. With Cesar there has been just one game where he looked dodgy, apart from that he has been excellent defensively.
