Epic Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 What is a player as bad as him doing at a major European club? He is hopeless. Genuinely one of the worst players in the league. He can barely control a football let alone create chances for himself and his teammates. He wouldn't make the bench of our rivals let alone start most weeks like he does for us. This has to be his last season at Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizeH Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 As a squad player he's fantastic and actually has a decent scoring/assist rate when compared with similar players. Also, whilst occasionally lacking the final ball or finish, he constantly gets himself into dangerous positions, and unlike many of our attacking players lately does at least make things happen. So in short: you're wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibs Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Kalou earned us a penalty yesterday, a bit more than Nico did, why havent you started a thread about him ? It was Ramires who got fouled for the penalty. Wouldn't go as far to say Kalou is one of the worst players in the league, but he should only ever be a squad player - NOT starting week in, week out like he has done of late. The fact that Kalou and Mikel have featured so much for us this season, goes a long way to explain why we are struggling somewhat IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Street Ken Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Actually he has tremendous control. Joe Cole once said that Kalou is the most skilful player at the club. But, I agree that we need to upgrade him next season. His decision making and finishing are both erratic. He's a "head down" player and always will be. Lately it seems Malouda's trying to copy that style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegraham Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 kalou was poor yesterday but i hate when people seem to always pick him out to have a go at. drogba has nt scored from play since the arsenal game, anelka aint scoring either so give kalou a break it aint just him.

BlueNose Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 STURRIDGE...why he hasnt been chosen over kalou is very strange considering his quality when coming off the bench...he always makes things happen and is still young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewCrew Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Because And because he will score against Man Utd. Bet your house on it. Good video but.....did he score one goal in it? It's a good video about how he can dribble but can't finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the biggest load of rubbish I've heard in a while on here. Look at his record for a start. One of the worst players in the league? I can only hope that's a deliberate exageration, or you literally have no idea what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chippy Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Kalou is a good squad player and often does planty to deserve a start, he misses chances but often is our only player to get chances which shows a knack of getting into the right place at the right time, he also troubles defenders running at them and often gets fouled giving us opportunities, I don't think Sturridge has looked as good as Kalou and both have missed chances as well as made strange decisions with passes shots etc, the difference is Kalou is an experienced international and has done the business for us on many occasions against all sorts of opposition. I think Sturridge looked better in the game yesterday and has likely given Carlo a nice little problem in that he looked good enough for a start or at least a longer appearance from the bench. Kalou has scored more goals than Drogba this season and towards the end of last season was a big part of us winning the title, he needs confidence and I think we're quite well sorted to have the likes of Kalou and Sturridge who are both quick skillful players in and around the first team squad.

yorkleyblue Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Good points, well made, Chip Quite a few people are on Kalou's back all the time, but he gets into the positions to miss, which is more than can be said for the rest of our forward line at the moment. If Danny keeps up that level, or, even better, improves a bit, that would be a nice poser for Carlo, and I would hope that he wouldn't either plump for Kalou because he's the current position holder, nor just choose Danny to "shake things up a bit", as some poster or other requested earlier. best man for the job, every time, whether its Kalou or Sturridge or Borini or Kakuta or Carlton Cole.

secbastia Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 if you bring Kalou on when we are losing or in difficulty he adds speed and will always trouble defenders. And he will score and create something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charierre Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 He's a very good sub when the game is stretched, starting he fails to hit the right note. Interesting thread on Redcafe asked for the most underrated players in the premiership , many said Kalou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjd Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Theyre all w**kers, especially that Cech bloke who spells his first name wrong. I mean how many goals does he actually score ? What a waste of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abramovich Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 There's a simple reason why Kalou is a Chelsea player. In the current squad he is possibly the only player that at least attempts to dribble past players with the ball at speed and on occasion, succeeds. I can't think of anybody else in our current roster(Kakuta is a maybe, but he is way too raw) who has a skill set to produce the same style of play. We severely lack fast creative players that are good with the ball at their feet. It has been our problem since Robben lost his desire to play for the club, Duff lost his pace and Joe Cole lost his form and, consequently, his mind. For the most part we're currently the team of physically imposing hardworking strong men but with a bit of class and it's that bit of class which separates us from majority of the premiership that are just physically strong and hardworking. So Kalou's value imo is that he adds a little bit of creativity and speed to our attack. It's not that we don't need Kalou, we just need Kalou type of players who are better than him at what he does for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeta Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 He's alright as a squad player when we're missing players and need someone with a bit of pace late on. But a first team player, he is not. Far too inconsistent and erratic. And it's not as if he's not had several years to improve, he's been here quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Ha, love it when people respond to something they disagree with by sarcasm - shows real good knowledge and insight...! I don't rate him, at 3-0 up - okay, bring him on, but at 0-0 or 1-0 down? No, he's had his chance IMO. I was wrong about Drogba, Malouda and Crespo (in a good way) and wrong about Shevchenko and De Horno (the wrong way...!) - but Kalou has never really got going with us, and I think we should move on.
