Branislav Ivanovic

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Needs the Malouda treatment if he's too stubborn to admit he's shit and step down himself like Gary Neville did a few years back.

Been a wonderful servant to the club but ffs enough is enough.

Difference is the Manager loves him.

[Laylabelle 9,381]

He used to be a pretty good player!

[JaKstone 307]

He used to be a pretty good player!

"Used to" expresses the idea that something was an old habit that stopped in the past. It indicates that something was often repeated in the past, but it is not usually done now.

[The Chels 2,502]

It was funny listening to Jamie Redknapp mention how no team would have even thought about targeting Ivanovic as weakness last year. Gus Poyet was on the show and just staring at Redknapp in apparent agreement but I'm pretty sure targeting our right side is exactly what he (Gus) did in the 0-0 last year. If I recall correctly it was an effective tactic and Sunderland were unlucky not to win that game.

Fly like a steam locomotive, sting like transatlantic cruise.

Or something like that.

[11Drogba 2,000]

How can the fans in the stadium watch him play like this week after week and not do anything about it, I don't get it.

[Henrique 9,133]

Says it all. Get out of my club you absolute helmet.

He's been useless defensively for a while now but his goals/assist tally saved him last season.

I actually laughed when this happened, totally utterly disgraceful to call this shower of shite our best right back. Azpi is twice the player and ten times the warrior he is. FUCK OFF.

am i the only who really laughed during the game when that happened?

Geez, the man looked like an amateur there.

I was facepalming heavily and getting mentally ready to conceding.

Right back Branislav Ivanovic is in awful form. Yet he has played more minutes this season than any other player. There seems a reluctance to switch Cesar Azpilicueta from left back and introduce Baba Rahman, signed from Augsburg in August for £21.7million.

‘Baba Rahman doesn’t know what it is to play in this kind of championship,’ said Mourinho. ‘He needs time to adapt. At the same time, every team is a team of giants.

'If you don’t have a minimum of five tall players good in the air, you are dead on set-pieces. When I play Azpilicueta and Baba, I have only three.’

That is just .

If there isn't a limit on name size then Baba Rahman doesn’t know what it is to play in this kind of championship,’ would be a perfect name

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

Lol, playing through our right side has become a set piece for other teams. José wake up!

[the wes 7,212]

ivan has become from hero to zero at chelsea now

[Jase 43,479]

If Jose is so concerned about height, we might as well just put Zouma at left back and have Azpi replace Ivanovic at right back. The LB is not Zouma's natural position but he can't do any worse than what Ivanovic is doing at RB.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

We are beginning to develop a right-back curse. Bosingwa started well and turned to shit, Ivanovic started well but turned to shit. Fuck.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Funny how we are conceding goals from corners so easily despite having "5 tall guys good in the air" on the pitch.

[Fulham Broadway 16,917]

We are beginning to develop a right-back curse. Bosingwa started well and turned to shit, Ivanovic started well but turned to shit. Fuck.

Definitely had a mixed bunch. Steve Clarke was good, Paulo was very good, Boularouz -remember him ? bit mental. Jose played Essien there who was surprisingly good, and I am sure Ranieri played Hasselbaink there or left back

[Shaan 263]

only can be heard frm the best paid coach in the world....
