I think Yuri is being a little unfair, he has got playing time whenever he's been fit, it's not Carlo's fault that he's been so injury prone for us. Now if he was not getting run while he was healthy this whole time then he has the right to complain.

I've always had the feeling he didn't "click" with the rest of the team, its like the chemistry is missing. Even tonight you could see Ashely Cole ignoring him despite Zhirkov having a good position and later on he went on by himself despite Drogba literally asking for the ball. I've always believed in his talent and he was quite good last year but it's like his not playing for the team and the team isn't playing for him.

Could it be due to his inability to communicate? Is he able to speak English now?

Anyway... the same sort of goes for Torres... Torres seems to be a magnet for defenders. gives anelka chances to score more easily...

I think he took part in one of the press conferences ahead of the Spartak games and his English was actually decent. It looks mostly football related to me.

I agree with you Kostas. I've never voiced that, but I absolutely notice that. He seems to lack the ability to function in this side - though in fairness, it has been very difficult for him due to consistent injury. That being said, he impressed me between February and April last year.
