Florent Malouda

[didierforever 7,349]

Basically you didn't understood a single fuck of what I just said, I don't even know if you did read one word out of 5.

I was speaking about Malouda's defensive contribution and workrate when the ball was lost and I compared it with Mata's last season. Some really stop at nothing when sticking players that's unreal.

i read what u said quite clearly (like i read your posts on the torres thread which believe me i dont even wanna go there now). u compared a left midfielders to a left winger/cam's defensive contribution. then u doubted mata's workrate (bullshit). i respect malouda and what he did for the club but what ticked me off was the comparision to MATA. undoubtedly our player of the season. secondly u showed the stats of 2010-11 which got nothin to do with the argument as MATA was not even a blue then. malouda's contribution to the club for the last season was minimum which was magnified by rdm's decision to start bertrand in the CL FINAL as a left winger instead of some1 as experienced as malouda. that should have been malouda's cue to leave the club with dignity and as a CL winner. instead he is acting like a greedy fellow.

All this was related to the argument and now somethin off topic as a word of advice. when a person quotes you or replies at your comment it does not mean they want to ridicule u. maybe they just have a different opinion. so stop replying with comments like "some people are just stupid" or "some people dont know fuck about the game" etc..

is this chart made for shit players only ? Malouda first, Downing 3rd, bitch please.

First of all, Downing's sitting in the 4th place.

Aside from that I can't get the logic of your post. For shit players only? Yeah, let's call Drogba, Fabregas etc. shite because they're included

[didierforever 7,349]

So, what about Mata being the most dribbled attacking player at Chelsea last season ? Yeah, I can't understand why Cole had struggles last season, Mata blocked the flank so well...

I usually respect all opinions, apart from the fact we cannot have opinions on facts.

About the figures table that's the assist and key pass datas from OPTA, you can deny it, that's certainly a wise move to stay credible. One more time that's not used to prove a point, just to confirm a trend: one cannot say Malouda was crap that season.

Those figures doesn't sort what kind of chances were created etc... but when Malouda creates 20 more chances than the 2nd best, that gives a slight idea of his real contribution, an unbiaised view.

oh dear mother of god!!! where in my reply did i deny the stats even once? please tell me where??? all i said was that these ARE the stats of 2010-11 which got nothing to do with our argument. also i never said mata is a great defensive winger. read my first reply where i have asked your judgement in comparing a left midfielder in malouda to an all out attacking winger with not so good defensive abilities , MATA. i think its time for u to maybe read what others are saying rather than just simply quoting for the sake of it.

Malouda has been with us 5 years ..I believe only 1 season did he perform well

Top notch comment,and it is the season when we won the double.We scored like crazy breaking records etc.

[Manuf 1,448]

only performed well when the team was performing. waste of talent

[RamiCFC9 258]

The only time I saw him do something memorable was his break against ManU when J.Cole scored.. and thats for five years.Shit player overall.

Am I the only one who thinks demoting Malouda to the Under 21 squad is a stupid and disrespectful decision? He really isn't that bad a player and was still able to do a job for us last season. He could have come in quite useful if we get lots of injuries or a fixture pile up around February/ March.

He was also arguably one of if not our best player in 2009/10 and 2010/11. Towards the end of 2009/10 him and Drogba were getting the majority of our goals and assists and he was our joint top scorer in 2010/11 which as a winger was more than Drogba. It shows lack of respect to treat him like this because unless he was causing trouble in first team training then what harm was he to the squad?

Our best player in 2009/2010 I'll agree, but our best player in 2010/2011?, are you joking me?, despite being our top goal scorer, he was our worst player, i loved Carlo but one reason i wanted him to get sacked is because he kept playing malouda over and over again, Malouda would just never pick up, he was shite constantly all season. Even off form players like Essien and Lampard picked up in some games, like against City at the bridge when we won 2-0, Malouda was the only one to still play shit.

I know what you are saying overall, it is disrespectful, but you don't know what the situation is, maybe he doesn't want to leave and wants to feed on our wages for a final year, if so then he deserves to be shot into the reserves.

He chose money over career simple as that. At his age this is probably a smart choice but that does leave him a quite bad reputation. For the money sake all he can do is be quite and suck it up.

One thing I've always wondered about Malouda is how he became a winger instead of a central midfielder. His biggest strengths I believe were his intelligence and energy while his flaw as a winger was that he lacked both flair and dribbling technique. I think Malouda could have made a very good box-to-box midfielder who could also provide some serious goal threat, sort of like Lampard. I think his career in the top flight would have lasted longer, too, that way.

Sorry to disagree, but he could dribble pretty well, and his strength was his ability to cross the ball early from wide positions. Admittedly he lost of lot of pace in his last couple of seasons, which made it more difficult for him to get past players. That's why he was moved into a more central position.

Probably irrelevant at this point, but he was hardly our worst player. Its just that after his spectacular finish to the 09-10 season, there were a lot of expectations on him especially when the rest of the team started to fail. The fact is Malouda is not a player like Drogba or Zidane, and can't consistently influence games on his own. He thrives when the rest of the team is doing well. This is evidenced when he came onto score against QPR and Tottenham last season, when we were winning both games by good margins.

Tell me who was worse than Malouda that season?, Drogba was bad, Essien was bad, Lampard was bad, but they did pick up in some games and came to life, where as Malouda was constantly shit and losing the ball all the fucking time.

He wasn't "constantly" shit. He had a few good games at the start and towards the end of the season when we caught up with Utd in the table. I'm just saying its impossible to single out one player for the blame when the team as a whole doesn't do to well in the campaign.

You must of missed that season.

Believe me, I wished I had.

[Tomo 21,751]

Which is why he could have been a decent squad player to have now were playing good, add that by telling him he has a new contract to play for (even if he doesn't) and i reckon we could have got a decent squad role out of him this season.
