Has JT Become A Liability?

[boshman 1,073]

John will be Chelsea captain next year no question. No matter how bad his form he will always be picked to play. Whether that is wrong or right, it is as simple as that.

To ShaneCFC who said he won't start at the World Cup.... What you on about? Of course he is going to start at the World Cup

i can't believe we are discussing this ..... HE IS JT JOHN TERRY THE CAPTAIN THE HEART AND THE SOUL OF Chelsea ....

i am not even gonna give excuses and say everyone make mistakes because those who doesn't know that he is the best defender in the whole world are blind dickheads ........

STOP acting with this NAIVETY when we lose and when we win from a week to another i keep reading about how great and shitty we are ..... how our players are the best and how they don't deserve to be here ... how will we certainly crush everyone and take the league and how will we get our asses wiped and lose everything .....

i am not saying don't analyze the errors .... please do that ......but i think they are pretty obvious right now and that's why i am confident that will change next year ......

and one thing is for sure they are not terry's saga or lampard drop in form or cech is not the same anymore .....

Bolton, Villa and United he was outstanding. One bad performance and you've given up on him. Fuck sake. Fickle spring to mind?

I really hope this is just a dip in form, and that he is back to his best ASAP. Stripping him of the captaincy wont help, dropping him wont help either. All he needs is to have a little word with himself, sit out the Stoke game and re-charge his batteries.

Guys I really dont know what to say?? I love JT I always have, but the whole bridge-gate affair (in more ways than one) I think has affected Terry, he is not the player he was in the championship winning seasons. But there is no player in the world that can perform season after season like that. I do believe that no player is bigger than the club and JT seems to think he is.

I think we need to retain him, he has been a great servant to the club, but shouldnt the team be choosen on performance? which is exactly the same argument which happens with the England team. I know I may sound like I am contradicting myself in this post but it is just cause I dont know what to think about JT, the only thing I wish more than anything is for JT to show the toughness, the grit, and the responisbility of a true leader which we know he can be.

Lets hope that the suspension is a blessing in disguise and that it will give him time to reflect about his performance, especially for England this summer!!!

Since when does form get decided by the performance of one game?

Take his last four matches: One awful showing and three excellent matches. He's in good form.

till the bridge sage his passing accuracy was over 90 %, so what you guys are talking about? and his tacklings was about 86%, Your acting like the media when cech dosent save a ball which goes high left right uner the crossbar, while he was standing at the right post... i cant hear it anymore... hes outstanding this season again, despite 3 or 4 bad games... and now look at rio, vidic, puyol (was sent off a couple of weeks ago, too)... i'm wondering nobody of you is calling for Ben-Haim as JT-Replacement...

He is great this year and just because he played one or two bad games it doesn't mean we have to bench him.

I can't imagine our defence without him and he is a true captain and our leader. He is also very strong and almost never gets injured so for me he is the best defender in the world.

[Luke 60]

JT is an outstanding defender but he was awful on Saturday in a game we REALLY needed to win, I started this thread to see what peoples opinions are on his performances this season.

Anyone can see he hasnt been playing as well as he has in previous season's, but I wouldnt go as far as stripping the captaincy or dropping him, as I said, the one game ban may come as a blessing for him to recharge his batteries and get his head right. World class players dont turn shite overnight. He has had some great performances this season (WHU away and Hull away for example) but he has had some bad ones too (AV away, Everton away) and his performance on Saturday was embarressing.

Whatever it is thats wrong in JT's head, I hope gets sorted during the next 2 weeks ready for Liverpool.

I hope he has a good World Cup and wins back the hearts of the nation (a last minute winner would do the trick or something) and then he can concentrate on his football and come back bigger and stronger next season. The abuse he gets must affect him, I feel for the guy.

well could you tell your son that JT is Mr Invincible and not Mr Invisable, ithink the poor lad was blinded by the performance

@ the rest

I must admit though JT is giving me nightmares of late drop him! no effing way i'd rather have JT there than anybody effing hell who are you going to have there in his place

regards: JBD

Who do we have there in his place? Well, maybe Ivanovic and Alex, seeing as though they're both better centre backs.

[zolayes 14,489]

those who wish us harm are ready to keep giving JT a kicking ..lets not join them ...god that prat colymore

was on talk sport again ...prefers king to terry ....

Sarcasm, right?

[Luke 60]

Collymore is a prat.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

I think all Terry's having is a lapse in his form due to his out feild difficulties, with his dad's problems and his own. Hopefully, this suspension will give him the chance to reflect, and also a long deserving break. Maybe a little R and R will help him mentally as well as physically.

[Luke 60]

^^Agreed

Michael Dawson is a better choice.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

But when we win the double, Fabio won't have a choice.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Sarcasm, right?

No. At the minute, I don't think Terry is playing well enough. It pains me to say it, because he is a Chelsea legend, but he isn't cutting the mustard right now.
