Chelsea fans on Twitter call for Azpilicueta to be given chance at right-back

Many Chelsea fans on Twitter have called on boss Jose Mourinho to axe Branislav Ivanovic from the starting line-up and move Cesar Azpilicueta to right-back.

Ivanovic has struggled in the opening games this season, against Swansea, Manchester City and West Brom, while Azpilicueta, natural right-back who has been deployed at left-back by boss Mourinho, scored his first Premier League goal in the win at The Hawthorns.

Some supporters are now suggesting the Spaniard should switch flanks, with new signing Baba Rahman coming in at left-back.


Not all fans are convinced by Azpilicueta, either – with some suggesting his goal masked an otherwise indifferent display.
