Closed Chelsea v Aston Villa

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Jose reports Ivanovic is injured while Courtois is continuing his recovery. #CFC

Jose says he has four solutions to fill Ivanovic's place at right-back: Azpilicueta, Zouma, Ramires or Ola Aina. #CFC

Jose: 'Ruben has been working with us every day since January. I think he is going to be a top player. He is ready to start.' #CFC

Jose: 'Every game is a must-win game, for different reasons. We cannot run away from the reality of the table in the Premier League.' #CFC

Jose says the current reality is that we need points to start lifting ourselves up the table. #CFC

Jose says he has seen the FA's written reasons for his charge and he will make an appeal. #CFC

Jose: 'We need to win matches for us, for the Chelsea supporters. I don't know how to stop unfair stories but we are not worried.' #CFC

Jose says he doesn't see any players unhappy to be at Cobham, so he doesn't think being with their national teams changes anything. #CFC

Jose watched every game his players played on international duty, concluding no player was better with their national team than with #CFC.

Looking forward to tomorrow game! Been too long without a proper league weekend now

Let's go win this one!

[MefiX19 1,092]

Hmm... Biggest question is who gonna start at RB? Ramires or Zouma?

[bethos1 802]

Playing Zouma at RB would be pathetic, we're playing against Aston Villa, if we can't play with 2 attacking fullbacks against them then when will we ever?

yeah see that doesnt convince me at all lol. he's openly saying why he won't play Aina as opposed to why he will..

would anyone really want him too though? (i have no opinion of him , but does not seem to have much hype)

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

If Ola Aina plays and Rahman, a 20M signing, doesn't then he should go in January.

Unless of course we change the manager by then.

Can't be any worse than Bane and this is the type of exposure they need, tough environments.
