Why not try him in the midfield position rather. A good coach is the one able to identify the potential of a player and play him in positions that he can perform best. He is skillful going forward so try him a bit more forward from defence. Good luck Bab

Midfield would not work. He needs to buckle up in defense and figure out how to play in the epl. He didn't have to play in midfield while he was in germany so why must he be converted to a mifilder becus he's struggling in England? It's either he leaves england or he figures it out. Not everybody can play in England. If u could not make it there it doesn't mean anything. I for one don't even like their ugly kick and rush type of football. Perhaps Baba is too skillful a defender for that league

No player's position is cast in stone. If he can play better going forward, why not play as such. Others can play his defence position while he plays further afield. Yes, the EPL is different from the German league but that i ...

No player's position is cast in stone. If he can play better going forward, why not play as such. Others can play his defence position while he plays further afield. Yes, the EPL is different from the German league but that is also an opportunity to explore more potential.

To be a midfielder, you have to be aggressive to defend and it's the same problem he's got as a full back.

"questions remain about HIS DEFENSIVE DEPARTMENT".

"The 21-year-old has however improved from a shaky start to the season to improve drastically IN ALL DEPARTMENT (sic)".

He has improved in all departmentS?
So his defensive-department questions vanished just after 3 paragraphs?

Ghanafuckernet, masters of incomplete sentences, you stink in all departments - grammar, logic, fact, presentation!

He's improved in all departments but he's excelled in the attacking department not in the defensive department. What don't you understand about this? Improved does not mean there are no question marks?

You and are Jona are right. If he is good moving forward, why not play him more forward, ie midfield and attack. If his coach will not read these suggestions I hope his friends or agent can and suggest to him. Baba himself also has responsibility to try other positions of play. I remember what positions Michael Essien played while in Chelsea

Baba should know his weakness by now, which is speed. Know this should help him know how far he can go in attacking and when to retrieve back to defensive duties. As seen time and time again, his opponents like M City exploited his lack of speed on tracking back to score 3 goals.In games like this is important to remember you are a defender first. When your help is not used immediately you track back, you don’t stay up there to be an option for the attackers who are already selfish by nature. I hope Baba reads this.

Speed for sure is something Baba should improve on. He can still be effective until that happens by reading the game and positioning himself well. He's waiting upfront for the ball instead of moving from the back to the front with the play. He is also running into the opposing player instead of into spacing to receive a pass and actually the reason his teammates don't pass him the ball. People who are suggesting Baba is tried in midfield are not considering the midfield player to be dropped and the ones on the bench. Traore is on the bench so why is a coach going to try Baba in midfield? Baba's football skills are below the level needed in midfield for Chelsea. He just have to thoughen up and improve his game as a fullback.

Excellent analysis. I had the same feeling about Baba Rahman.

There is always a big hole on his side to be exploited. Why are the coaches not telling him not to go beyond certain line. He cannot be changed to midfield cos they brought him in to solve that left hand problem.

This Guy is not enough strong to be a defender. He plays so weak and attacking. He needs to do some physical exercises to become strong in attacking and defending

Isn't the work of a coach to educate a player , to detect the player's strength n weakness on the field and therefore gear the player to achieve greatness? This coach should help baba to improve, be aggressive on the field. Telling the media what the player should do to survive in the epl, to me doesn't make sense.
