What type of injury does he have? hopefully he can play on Tuesday. Don't think he'll start the season after just 1 half of preseason. And if he doesn't start the season, surely it'll be more complicated to just drop Cech randomly.
For such a slow player, he does so well at stopping many counters. I was most impressed away at Villa last season, when he ran behind a speed merchant like Agbonlahor and took the ball off him cleanly.
Same old Chelsea vs defensive team. Same old sloppy goal conceded. Cech, Azpi, Christensen, Zouma, Luiz, Mikel, Rammy, Willian, Schurrle, Torres, Drogba (came off injured, replaced by Oscar)
This is not about practice, this is the profile of the players. How many of our players will get into a free flowing passing side like Arsenal or heck Swansea?
Diego Lopez to Milan "99% done". When they were at their best, that's why Pique was so overrated before. But now, everyone in their defense looks bad.. and they get fucked on the counter by any random team.
Sociedad on Tuesday should be the game for that. I don't expect many of the important players (JT, Matic, Fabregas, Costa) who have played many minutes in preseason to feature much in this one....after just 1 day rest.
I don't mind his style of play, but it's not what you want on the wings. Schurrle and Salah are direct in their own ways and will always be there to get chances, while Willian barely ever enters the opposition area
