Why Malouda has to be dropped

[Otsa 3]

Zhirkov and Benayoun can both replace Malouda this season. I have nothing against getting rid of him after this season.

Zhirkov looked better than Malouda even when he was injured

Kalou has been better than him as of late. Yet Kalou isn't playing his best either. Anelka has been brilliant.

Which goes to show just how badly Malouda is playing.

Wouldn't be surprised if he starts again vs. United.

I had no idea that Malouda was the sole reason as to why we've been so poor for that "bad moment" and any other match we don't win, it all makes sense now.

precisely i mean lampard too has been pretty poor all season long too. in fact most of the team has been poor this season.

THANK GOD someone has put this up as a thread - I have been tearing my hair out about Malouda for ages.....Fernando Torres will not score a goal while that guy is in the team......Zhikov is putting in effort and deserves the left hand spot. What annoys me most about Malouda is that we can't play 4-4-2 with him in the team......

PLEASE CHELS GET RID OF HIM IN THE SUMMER - yes he has ability but he is one of the worst team players I have seen.......

[Randall 315]

I totally agree. He has been way below usual form.

I supported Malouda when he first came and was getting slaughtered ..was delighted when he turned it round ...Now Im completely at a loss to understand what the fuck is wrong with him..but something is .. at the moment I'd play ANYONE but him ..even give Tore a chance...

I have never said this about a Chelsea player before but I would be happy to see him get injured to be out of the team long term. His attitude since we signed Torres has been disgusting....

If he doesn't improve on his performances until the end of the season, I would definitely consider to sell him. He's been the worst player of the team no doubt.

I'm not going to repeat my opinion on everything Maloulda, done that before, but will just state that I have never rated him. I hope that he is sold in the summer along with 3 or 4 others.

My question is, if the average Joe can see that his form has been woeful for weeks & was again on Saturday, then why is our manager still giving him game time? It's not like Ancelotti has no other option, for me it just doesn't make sense at all?

[Tortilla9 390]

Why then does Carlo continue to play him? Does Malouda have videos of Carlo or something like that? That's the only thing I can figure. By continuing to play him Carlo only reinforces that Malouda can play like sh*t and continue to take playing time from somebody else.

Why do you think Malouda doesn't like Torres? Is it a solidarity thing with Drogba, Anelka, etc?

His performances last season were very important for our achievements.
