Ivanovic

Ivanovic was fit last weekend, he was just on the bench.
I thought he'd be first choice RB until we signed someone but i think AVB likes his attacking fullbacks and he's giving Bos a chance

It's a toughy which not alot of us Chelsea fans are sure of ourselves. Mainly because we can't predict what AvB will do being a fairly new manager still getting to grips with the team.
I'd like to see Bran would get a game even if it's a CB.

No ivanovic had tweaked his hamstring he should be back for enxt game and i reckon he'll start cb in place of alex.

Bosingwa played well last weekend, so not sure if ivan will be a regular

i reckon he'll start cb in place of alex.

Alex is a better cb than Ivanovic. Ivanovic was quite clumsy in some games last season but his mistakes got overlooked. One of his worst games was the one against Sunderland.. ? How he stayed on the pitch was a miracle.

I would rather he didn't start in place of Alex (who is possibly our best defender)
I would like him in the side though, probably at the expense of Bosingwa

Unsure if Sideshow is fit to play - he's due back saturday

He's better than Bosingwa but they'll be rotated this season

I don't rate him at all really at CB, certainly not as highly as Alex and Luiz. At RB though he's awesome (attacking qualities quite underrated IMO), and hopefully he'll return over Bosingwa, who in fairness played well at the weekend

It'll be a shame to see less of Brana, Bos offers more going forward but dreadful in defence, Brana still solid in defence, quite slow going forward, he does have the aerial advantage though, scored a good couple of goals via headers. AVB up to you!
