He was excellent the other night, loved him talking to the others telling them what to do.

and to think some on here thought he would be a very poor signing and bad business for the club ;)

guilty as charged, and still against it in principle !

I was in two minds to be totally honest!

He has the Slavic mentality and I would never argue with that, and if we can bring that to the team then I am all for it.
MAGA!

and to think some on here can judge a player on one appearance. 😉

Abysmal. Once great but well past it. Please retire.

He’s worse than Lugano.

Mind blowing that we lost our best centre half in Hegazi and ended up with Ivanovic.

Yes , I agree, never thought I'd see a slower defender than Lugano who seemed to run backwards, Ivanovic had topped it. Another astute Dowling decision

Peak WBA board type decision. Didn't feel great at the time and is much worse than I thought it could be.

Much as I'm not keen on Dowling this is one of Bilic Boys.

Think this failing is squarely on Bilic.

From my Chelsea long-term STH mate re Ivanovic when I mentioned we were apparently in for him:

“Really? He was slow when he left us, all his pace was gone and for such a hero and fan’s favourite it all finished a bit badly and everyone wanted him out the team. Shame because he was a legend. The only place he could play would be in a back 3 as one of the two markers with someone covering behind him”

My quote from 9th September.  I’ll leave it there...

You were ok with the signing, if I remember correctly, on the assumption that we would get rid of one of the other CH's.

Yes, I was annoyed at the time as I still considered Hegazi the best of a bad bunch and couldn't believe we got rid.

Re-read the thread i had reservations but went with Bilic having seen him and having a clue. I was hoping Bartley would go.

Why does he keep jogging to the penalty spot when crosses are coming across the face of our goal?

Where Gibbs was for their goal is exactly where he should be, which would have allowed Gibbs to mark the bloke who scored.

Still, he doesn’t seem too bothered by his appalling performances.

Someone on twitter claims that Masi recently claimed on his podcast with the express and dingle that we are considering terminating Ivanovics deal.
