Chelsea fans on Twitter react to Ivanovic’s display against Swansea
Many Chelsea fans on Twitter were less than impressed by Branislav Ivanovic’s performance in the 2-2 draw with Swansea on Saturday.
The usually reliable full-back was given a torrid time by Jefferson Montero throughout the game.
It prompted some to call for Chelsea to buy a left-back and allow Cesar Azpilicueta, a right-back converted to left-back, to switch back to his former position.
After seeing Ivanovic get embarrassed all game, I’m even more puzzled by the sale of Felipe Luiz. Got rid of a perfectly good fullback. #CFC

Embarrassing watching Ivanovic get destroyed by Montero over and over like that. Need Azpi starting at RB more often. #CFC

Ivanovic was running thought treacle today #cfc

Ivanovic had a horrid time today. I respect the effort, commitment, goals etc that he scores but defensively? I worry about him…#CFC

Last season when I said ivanovic was the weakest link in defence, some #CFC fans nearly tore me to shreds I’m curious of their opinion today

However, some leaped to Ivanovic’s defence, reminding his critics of the performances the Serbian has given the club during his seven seasons.
U know what I can’t name another bad game Ivanovic has had so we can’t start criticising him #CFC

Ivanovic had a difficult player but Montero looks like he’d give anyone a hard game and frankly I don’t know many RBs better than Ivan #cfc

Evaluate players after series of matches, not one match. Ivanovic is still quality whether you like it or not.

The red card given to goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was also a hot topic for debate.
Hate some Chelsea fans that are so biased😂. Courtois was in the wrong and it was a deserved red card, move on #CFC

Debatable if it is in or out of the box but never a red card. 2 defenders covering the goal and travelling away from goal. #courtois #CFC
