I know one thing. He wouldn’t have sat down next to the Holte to take his boots off if the fans had been there.

He doesn't offer anything off the ball and appears to amble everywhere. He is a big reason for our current indifferent form.

Yep, changed my mind. Would've signed him six weeks back, not now.

Pass up and give Traore more creative responsibility and use money to get another striker in.

Was it just a media invention/rumour or did Chelsea really want £40m for him?

Surprised to see the petulance, I thought somebody he trusts (an advisor, a friend, his agent) would have told him what a dick it makes him look.

He needs dropping, or Mings needs to kick him ten feet up in the air in training.

I just don't think he's fit. Physically or mentally.

One good thing, is that his performance was so bad today that he surely can't start next week.

That and his actual ability is considerably overrated

How long is allowed to have the not quite fit excuse?
He had stopped tracking players within 5 minutes of kick off.

He suffers from asthma, maybe he doesn't have it in the tank anymore.

He hasn't been anything other than average for a number of seasons. I was against signing him from the start for this reason.

On current form Chelski will be lucky to get a decent fee for him, started off really well after joining but since the injury he has struggled for form.

Ability - over rated
Physique - bloated
Transfer value - over inflated
I bet he still plays next week
