I don't buy it personally. I remember Chelsea V Swansea early in the season. John Terry own goal in the first half. Costa equalises just before the break. Halftime Rami on for Shirley. Changed the match. Costa gets his hattrick one of which was assisted by Rami. Chelsea v Soton. Rami on for Matic in the second half. Mourinho himself said that that stopped Soton's counters. Teams just seem to really shape up their defense really well against us since the turn of the year. But then again, i only watch Chelsea games and top4 sides' matches... Conclusion: I don't think Rami is shit. He's just a different player who offers something else.
Who cares if Zouma is a natural CB? The team needed to stop the supply to Eriksen. You clearly feel that Ake should be higher than Zouma in the pecking order/hierarchy. So now youre punishing Zouma to give Ake some playing time.
But you did say "Matic and Mikel were suspended and injured respectively earlier this month and yet what did Mourinho do? " Mou's job is first and foremost to win games. And Chelsea as a club has been notorious for firing managers for failing to win.
You think Mou made a poor decision? If i remember correctly, chelsea won that game. Now, should Mou play Ake over Zouma just because of hierarchy? Or is his job to field the best team (not to be confused with fielding the best players)?
