Cuadrado - Chelsea's #23

[ForeverCarefree]

Not sure why his tread is locked?

Looked awful when he came on and showed exactly why he's getting no game time.

Worrying that a £27m player can't do the basics and gave the ball away almost everytime he touched it.

That was a Salah-esque showing there.

How long realistically are we expected to wait to see even a hint of competence let alone ability?

Almost two months now, I'm starting to worry.

Salah has already overtaken his goals and assists in Italy hasn't he?

He gave them £27m and Salah on loan, and they've got the better player.

He was so bad when he came on.

 

[big blue]

Barely kicked a ball in 2 months. Has had no time to adapt to the speed of the league. Looked well off the pace when came on today, and until he gets regular minutes, he will look rusty.

 

[JoeyN]

He'll be gone next January.

Spot on, there's regulars who are not performing at the minute who should be rested.

 

[Stim]

He'll be gone next January.

Where he'll remember how to play properly and we'll pine to have him back.

hate to criticise players generally, but when that ball dropped to him in the box i dont think there's a chelsea fan around who didnt wish it was schurrle on the end of it instead. would have been a goal if it had been!

To be fair- he's had little game time and when we signed him Jose said he was one for next season.

He did look way out of his depth today but having seen videos of him playing at full throttle he has a lot to offer potentially.

Way to early to write him off - if he doesn't work out after a couple of seasons then so be it.

From what I have seen so far, even hoping he might be one for "next season" looks rather optimistic!!!

1-1 at home with 15 minutes to go, you want to bring on a game changer. We let our one go in Schurrle and have signed this clown instead!

 

[Sloth]

Honestly he's looking very rusty, he needs to start games.

I don't think he is going to make an impact this way by trying to impress us in little game time. I say give him a start next game and see how he does, I really think he should have started today despite how bad he was coming on.

He needs to work on his link up play definitely, Willian perhaps not the best at creating chances at least he can always play Ivanovic through, Cuadrado was struggling at even that. Looked very rusty to me, is it quality? We can only know he's good enough if he's actually given a chance.

 

[timetowaste]

He needs some regular minutes but good lord was he sh*t when he came on

How did we end up back here again one year later?

I know Costa is better than Torres but we are left once again needing Hazard to shine. If he is cr*p, as he was today, as he was against PSG, we do not win.

If he had scored a hat trick, a lot of people in this thread would be singing a different tune

 

[Sindre]

He will probably be gone in the summer.  I can imagine us offering him to Juventus actually to try to sweeten a Pogba-deal. They'd probably take him too as he was a good player in Italy.

But my God has he been bad for us. I'm not surprised though, i was never convinced in the first place and even a player like Salah has a lot more potential. I sometimes struggled to lift a ball while taking corners when i was 10, Cuadrado is paid millions a year and still can't do it.

Hazard was good today... He was the only one running at their defence and causing them problems.

He didn't though. Reason being he played poorly.

 

[Scott Harris]

He needs to start games. Give him a start in the next 3 games and see how it goes. Willian is simply not good enough, i can't take seeing him do nothing throughout the game anymore. We either watch Willian continue to fail or we give Cuadrado a go.
