Actually his pace has always been his flaw.
That has never been in John Terry's game anyway.
The same reason why AVB don't really fancy playing him. Benitez dropped him sparingly.
Mourinho knows of this and for so much of last season, he was asked to sit back and stroke the ball. No need to be caught out of mistakes cause this is what he does best. Sit. Stroke. Marshal.
For the whole of last season, Chelsea played with him and Cahill for like 40 over games?
Best defender in player ratings EPL 2014/2015, tightest defence in the EPL. Title and FA Cup. The rest marks down history.
Reviewing the games. I didn't watch Charity and pre-season so can't say.
- For the game against Swansea, professional red card and sub par standards from the whole team.
- ManC, we just didn't do well enough to match a title contender.
Ivanovic as a defender was horrific man if it has to be pointed out singly. He lost the aerial with Kompany and a sloppy pass led to Fernandinho's 3rd goal.
At 1-0, the score could have gone anywhere.
2-0 is a conclusion against a top team.
- WBromich we played high. Which exposed his weakness.
My opinion. Too early to rate a top defender.
Aspi, Terry, Cahill, Iva for at least another 3 games for me.
Kurt Zouma John Stones? Why not though?
