There's a report that says that Captain Fantastic is likely to be in the squad for the Stoke game this weekend! Hallelujah!!
Don't think he's been missed, don't think he'll make a jot of difference. Chelsea can live without JT.
I see it as a real bonus. Play him at the back with Cahill and Ivanovic as RB. Include Mikel or Luiz next to Ramieries just in front and play Ba as the lone striker. That should ensure we don't concede any silly goals from free-kicks, corners or throw-ins. Shut out their physicality with some of our own and use 3 from 4 of the Mata, Hazard, Oscar & Moses just behind Ba.
As much as I appreciate the job the boys have done at the back in JTs absence, an extra option for Rafa with us still in 4 competitions is very important! I guess he'll be following Lamps next year out of the exit door, but he still has plenty to contribute meantimes!
found it slightly humorous that young George Saville captained a side with JT in! to use the cliche, it's gonna be like a new signing when JT returns!
