Only misses the Shrewsbury game but should be interesting to see, with both him and Azpi now out, who will pair Luis at fullback for us in that game.

by Kick Sun Oct 26, 2014 11:46 pm

Zouma or Ake, I imagine.

by Shed Mon Oct 27, 2014 12:04 am

Aké's my feeling as well.

by Kick Mon Oct 27, 2014 12:12 am

Both will play I think.

by Shed Mon Oct 27, 2014 12:13 am

Oh almost certainly. I just meant at RB.

by Kick Mon Oct 27, 2014 12:17 am

I know.

by Shed Mon Oct 27, 2014 12:18 am

Be brilliant if Christensen could get a run out too. But I expect baby steps with the whole 'youth' thing at this point.

by Kick Mon Oct 27, 2014 12:23 am

Yeah.

As for the actual red card, I am glad it wasn't straight, losing him for a few games would be really bad.

by Shed Mon Oct 27, 2014 12:40 am

Straight?? rofl

-

It wasn't even a yellow! Hell, it wasn't even a sodding free-kick ffs rofl

But yes, I agree. Would have been bad.

by Kick Mon Oct 27, 2014 12:43 am

I know, Dowd was foolish. But it could have been worse.

Chelsea hard done by in fixture list, Branislav Ivanovic says:

'In the players’ mind we are not allowed to think about that. It is true we have one day less to recover, but the next morning we have to take it from our minds. There cannot be any excuse for us."

"We focus on the next game completely. We cannot do anything. Our schedule in the last couple of years is always like that. We always have one day less to recover than our opponents but we adapt to that and we are ready for that."

Never been a big fan of banging on about fixture lists. Petty and way too easy. #yawn

Yeah, I don't really care too much. The fixtures won't change, we have to play them regardless.

by fatman123 Wed Nov 05, 2014 1:47 am

Tbh I'd rather one day less rest after playing Maribor away then have an extra day off but have to play Real Madrid away

by Kick Wed Nov 05, 2014 1:50 am

Fair point.

by Shed Wed Nov 05, 2014 1:54 am

Likewise.

‘Mourinho not The Special One, he's The Perfect One’: Branislav Ivanovic praises Chelsea manager ahead of Tottenham clash:
Branislav Ivanovic believes Jose Mourinho should be known as 'The Perfect One' after masterminding Chelsea's spectacular start to the season
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2859035/Jose-Mourinho-isn-t-Special-One-s-Perfect-One-claims-Branislav-Ivanovic.html

"They call him 'The Special One', but I like to refer to him as 'The Perfect One.'"

"His results speak for him. I think that he is the most intelligent coach - he knows what he wants. He knows when to tighten up and when to loosen up."

"He knows what to demand from the team and from an individual player, and he knows how to deal with stress situations and to relax the atmosphere. It's a pleasure and a privilege to work with him."
