This is a player who doesn't receive anywhere near as much praise as he should

This is a player who doesn't receive anywhere near as much praise as he should.

Fantastic at RB, LB and now CB as well. What a versatile player.

Taken over from prime Terry as the best defender in the league

Chelsea are fucking good at defenders... Cole and Carvalho also spring to mind

he hasn't put a foot wrong in years, it's astounding

I'm appointing this thread as the Chelsea general

Who /topoftheleague/ here?

Is he, dare I say, elite?

Oops, didn't mean to post here.

Thanks for the bump anyway, you're welcome to stay here if you like

he's not a centre back. or a very good right back either.
he's useless going forward and the only reason he was proclaimed as one of the best defenders in the league is because that's all he did in 14/15. defend. he was basically just covering for hazard who was never intended to track back.

we don't know his real worth because we rarely see him as a full back with both offensive and defensive tasks.

>a defender who is good at defending
Ah yes lets call him shit

He should be one of those meme pacey black wing-backs that spend 90% of the game in the opposition half

marcelo is a shit left back because he's only useful up front, and shit at defending

azpilicueta is a shit full back because he's useful at defending, useless going forward

at least that's easy to understand

You gotta be good at something when 9 every 10 of your strikers become shit as soon as they sign a contract

TYBD

Nice exaggeration. Drogba was good for many years. Then even in the period before Costa there was still Ba, Eto'o, Torres and Drogba again who managed to get goals. Now >we have the best striker in the league as well as the best defence.

i overreacted, they're not "shit". just not complete

Gudjohnsen, Anelka and Hasselbaink were good too

>azpilicueta is a shit full back because he's useful at defending, useless going forward

aight, mind giving me a list of players in Premire league who are better fullbacks than him?

Based Aspi, I hope he stays until retire

Seamus Coleman

when a big team will hire him, yes

Bought from Marseille for an initial fee of £6.5m.

He is the less technical player I've ever seen playing for Spain

Casillas

good thread

Shut up Plasiric

200 appearances for chelsea already and still deals with pacey players handily.

Lampard was cool. One of the coolest midfielders in history

/lifelong/ here

How about this fuckin ledge-in-the-making?

This has got to be the stupidest comment i have ever read

Hazard did track back though
