We’ve all got that one player at our club who we’re sick of the sight of.
Loyalty only goes so far for some players, and who doesn’t need a scapegoat when things are going badly.
For Chelsea, that man is Branislav Ivanovic.
There was a time when the Serb was a star, labelled by fans as one of the Premier League’s most underrated players, but he has become a liability of late.
So when it was announced that he was available for selection against Stoke, the response was not as positive as he might have hoped.
@MiguelDelaney stop with the bad news please cant take it anymore

Sigh 😔 RT @ChelseaFC: Jose reports Falcao and Courtois are injured, and Ivanovic is fit to play. #CFC

I'm afraid Branislav Ivanovic may start against Stoke City…………. #BackwardnessIfso

Why can't Ivanovic just stay injured
