What are Chelsea fans views on Filipe Luis? I don't really see why he was signed to play as a secondary and he's barely been given a chance. Should've just kept Bertrand as back up?
I always thought Luis was a quality full back.
We should have kept Bertrand in hindsight yes. Its a weird one with Filipe because he hasn't really done anything wrong, done perfectly well when played. Its just Jose prefers Azpilicueta, I personally dont down the left as Filipe offers more going forward but Azpi is superior defensively. I'm not sure there is a better full back defensively than Azpilicueta in world football so Jose is always going to play him.
I think what has really harmed Filipe is Ivanovic having an outstanding season, maybe has lost form a little recently but the first half of the season he was incredible both defensively and offensively. Most people expected Filipe to come in for Ivanovic but it just hasnt been possible.
I hope he stays, he is a very good player to have in the squad. Whether he is happy only being a rotation option I dont know, wouldn't be surprised if he goes back to Atletico.
Yeah I thought Filipe had done pretty well when he had come in. I thought that when Cahill lost form a bit and Zouma got some chances at CB, that perhaps Jose could've put
Filipe Terry Ivanovic Azpi
As his back 4. I just think it's a shame Luis is never playing when there's such a shortage of quality full backs around.
He's only in so they don't have to put him in the MC TOTS, he has had atleast 15 more deserving iF performances than against you last week. Should make the MC gold thread interesting today

Any defender that gets compared to Kompany for any reason other than to show how horrible Kompany is should start to worry.
IF Pastore looks great though.

Won't believe it until the daily mail confirms

They're a part of De Telegraaf, right?
BBC Sport.
In hindsight, yeah. 12 months ago he was considered one of the best strikers around so yeah.
taz93 knew.
Lionel didn't make the grade at Coventry though.
