Minute-by-minute report: Join Rob Smyth for all the action from this Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge
I picked the team the fans told me to play. Some of the players came back from the World Cup with niggles, and Rico and the other guys have been fantastic.Well, we’d prefer to be eight points in front! A lot of games still to play, so we are trying to maintain our level and have a run of victories.Many times in the previous season we played with a false nine so we had an extra player in the middle; now the extra player is in the box, so we have to adjust something.
I took a look, individually – first day, second day, third day, how they were training. It depends on the body language. In the period after the World Cup it was important to take a look: how is the body language, the mood, and try to pick the best line-up. Step by step the guys come back to reality and ready to play each game.There isn’t always a specific reason for picking players. Sometimes I want to rotate, sometimes it’s tactical, sometimes it’s because of the quality of the opposition.
