Branislav Ivanovic

I hope he's finally woken up. Arsenal aren't the biggest test, but he didn't look like a liability on Sat for once this season.

[killer1257 3,282]

I still can not believe how Arsenal did not try it harder to target Ivanovic.He is such a bad defender

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Terrible, maybe he played well against arsenal because they didn't target him. I'm a better defender than him

[zolayes 14,489]

what more can be said about him ,, Now well by his sell by date or his use by date ,,,BIN HIM

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

When the undoubtedly worst player in the league is your captain, what message does it send to the players.

[didierforever 7,349]

another brilliant performance. makes the RB spot his for another 5 games i suppose.

[robsblubot 3,529]

there were a lot of players far far worse than ivanovic - even Matic had a bad game.

Matic has bad games when his midfield partners play bad.Oscar did not win any tackle,Cesc never wins tackles and you can´t expect fro Matic to win every tackle.

Apart from that,Iva plays in every aspect of his game horrible.I do not know where to begin because it would take too much time,but in short,he can´t defend,nor he can attack.

[Special Juan 27,439]

This is not harsh, but he's an absolute cancer.

I agree about the attacking players being poor defensively - add that hazard and spec Pedro. Though I disagree that ivanovic has been as bad as people here say he's been. The same way you say lack of defending up front hurts Matic the defense is also affected.

Hazards form is far worse and so is fabregas'

Besides this is not tennis - replace ivanovic and nothing will change. Remy would still have been a zero up front for example. No wide plays etc. Pedro has been worse than Iva.

The team is just off. Jose needs to address the overall team play and the terrible form of certain players-ivanovic is just the scapegoat which would change nothing esp because we don't really have better option on the roster.

I know dani alves is terrible defensively, however, at this rate their is no difference with ivanoic defensively. We might as well try to sign alves as a stop gap

[Laylabelle 9,381]

Maybe he's hoping the more he plays him he'll improve.He's just shite and so frustrating to see his name every time

The funny thing is that Alves is also a finished player.He can´t cross either.Every Barca fan is furious with his game.Just play Azpi RB and Baba as a LB.That is the only hope I can see

[killer1257 3,282]

So,if I counted correctely,Iva has 3 yellow cards,so let´s hope he gets two more,in order to see that he gets a one match ban.

Desperate times that we live in if I have to hope that a player has to get a one match ban to see Iva nowhere near a Chelsea game

He's only got 2 so far.

According to this,he got 2,but he also got one yellow card today,so it should be 3

Right, my bad. Missed one of those in my record.

I actually wish injury on him only way his going to the bench. I know its extreme but we are in an extreme situation too. We are shit going forward because we dont have any fullback play. Rather we win 5-4 with Baba starting than 1-0 with Ivanovic and Azplicueta offering next to nothing going forward
