Korea 734 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Man United is playing the same tactic.Having a CB play rb....We should jack Rafael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,486 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Great performance from him. Up against a full-back like Shaw too. Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I thought he had a good game tonight, granted no one stood out as we cruised it in second gear, but he certainly looked crisp again.I wonder if we could play him alongside Luiz at CB as they're both quick so we could play a higher line with Cole at LB and Cesar at RB, especially against the smaller sides so we could press them even higher up the pitch.

Jase 43,479 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Chelsea FC @chelseafc 55m Mourinho reports Lampard has a muscular injury and will miss some matches. Ivanovic's injury is painful but not serious. DJames 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I think you could tell it was not serious. First time I see an injured player coming off the pitch running StrategiC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 There is another picture from another angle during that handshake where Suarez actually winked at Ivanovic. That was seriously like 'WTH?!'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! The Chels 2,502 Posted January 19, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I've read that some people think he had a good game against Januzaj, but I don't think he did. Never really looks comfortable at the RB position and in particular the nutmeg against him and the overhit cross come to mind. Whilst he is a good defender (but with the ease in which Young and Welbeck played a 1-2 around him in the early stages and his defending against Hernandez for United's goal, maybe even that is in question?) he is so poor technically. Notice how during the dropball there was some unrest among the United players that Chelsea had kicked the ball out for a United throw-in instead of giving it back to De Gea. It was Ivanovic who did that, and it didn't seem to be by purpose at all. I really think he just wasn't able to cross it all the way back to their goalkeeper, failing spectacularly. Sigh, his and Ramires' lack of technical ability, in terms of being able to pass, cross and shoot properly, is noticeable every game!

He isn't as poor as Ivanovic is technically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Think he was ok at times but never looked completely comfortable, think he was told to get stuck in hard on Januzaj to try and make him shy from getting the ball but he never really did no matter how many times Branna knocked him over/kicked him. Made some vital back post headers from crosses coming in from our left side though and in possession was alright but still think Azpi is a better option if we are going to be controlling matches as he offers more in possession than Branna does.
