He isnt built like a RB that AVB wants but saying that he gets himself into some avoidable situations when he's at CB which get overlooked a lot IMO. Id rather have him at RB to be honest.
He is not only better defensively than Bosingwa but is also better than him going forward. Bosingwas attacking ability is nowhere near what people make out. against Norwich I counted 13 crosses which either went straight out of play, straight to the keeper or didn't beat the first man.
Like mr Chelsea says, Brana is a bit dodgy at CB yet nobody seems to say anything about it.
I agree with the backline in the OP's line up
If we were to go on current form this season, it would be:
Cech
Bosingwa Luiz Terry Cole
Ramires Mikel Meireles
Anelka Torres Mata
Bosingwa can't start on form, he has been terrible, horrendous, awful. He is easily our worst player.
Does his 'form' count because he is the only player we have used at RB?
He hasn't been terrible at all, and has made a good start to this season bar 1 game. Ivanovic has struggled at CB this season and he calls it his natural position, who's to say he won't struggle at RB? Its a new season and he's not had the best start and made a number of errors. Also Ivanovic definitely isn't better than Bosingwa going forward, he's by no means bad at it, but not very good at it
I'd have to agree - he's been very positive this term...AVB like him that's obvious
It's a shame Ivan is not playing though, he's generally very solid but not outstanding as a rule...
If only AVB played sideshow at DM Ivan could then be CB more
In saying that I rate Alex better at CB
What a dilemma
I also think overall Ivanovic is a better RB than Bosingwa, but AVB clearly doesn't see him as one. I would like to see a new rB brought in January/Summer
I disagree with Mikel being in the midfield
I would rather have Ramires--Meireles--Josh or
Ramires--Romeu--Meireles
or even Ramires--Meireles--Lampard before including Mikel in a midfield 3.
Mikel is not on form.
