Branislav Ivanovic

[Backstreet09 499]

Dayum, he needs to go. He's on a fucking horrible decline, and we should go through that emotional deal before it's too late or we'd be stuck with him like we're stuck with Malouda >.<

No way should we sell Brana. He may make more mistakes but he will recover. Selling him would be ludicrous. Oh yeah, his block to deny Aguero, I think it was, was absolutely world class. No one seemed to mention that

[Thomas Williams 166]

I agree with selling, only because he still has a world class reputation, and I think we could still fetch a pretty penny for him. Because by end of next season I think he'll be marginally better than worthless at his current rate of decline

If that is the case, then shouldn't we be saying the same thing about Cahill then? Just because he made one world class block, as good as it is, doesn't mean we can excuse him for the yet more mistakes he made in the game.

It's a sad state of affairs (and shows how badly we have declined from the quality we had in 09/10 under Ancelotti - Alex, and a still-good Terry and Carvalho) when our best defender is David Luiz... Ivanovic has to go, sadly.

Train wreck at centre back this bloke, really rank bad poor.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Sorry Ivanovic, but please find another club in the ummer if you want to keep your reputation in tact. You're pretty much fucking it up to the abyss.

I missed the game yesterday but from what I read above it seems that he did terribly. He only has the remaining PL/Europa League games to convince us not to sell him. He still has a good reputation outside the club and could be sold for a huge amount of money.

Should consider selling him for some value he still has. He's won everything with us bar the Mickey Mouse cup.

I must say, he handled the situation very well. If I were him, I would have turned around and punched him so hard to knocck out his teeth so he won't bite anyone else!

True. That he did well.

Defensive wise .... I don't know. His marking was loose today. The 'Rodent Biter Scouse' took advantage. Iva is a bear, but it has not been his season.

Was terrible defensively. I would say he was the worst player on the field, but Luiz somehow managed to be worse today. Shambolic defending by all of our defense today.

I know ...... it actually hurt to see the amigos FINALLY put in that work while seeing the defense throw it away like that ...

I though all of the 5 in the middle were excellent today, hazard by far the MOTM, but the points were dropped in defense. That last goal is just embarrassing Sooo lazy from both Iva and Luiz. If I were the manager, I'd be giving them a piece of my mind now.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Fantastic performance today, could see how gutted he was to have lost those two points. The team was set up only to defend the second half, so what did you expect ? Of course they'd score, we were inviting them onto us.

There is still no excuse for the lax defending shown by Ivanovic and the rest. Even when a team setup to defend, each player would have a responsibility to carry as well as a team together and clearly the 3 players surrounding Sturridge did not nothing for his cross to an unmarked Suarez, who was let go by Ivanovic. It was a simple basic defending and yet we have failed it so miserably.
