TERRACE TALK: Chelsea - Bargain basement shopping comes at a price
But, then again, I very much doubt anyone in the upper echelons of the club told the team to play in such a lethargic, couldn’t care less, manner. We get that there is little left to play for but how about playing for a bit of self-respect after such a horrendous season. How about playing because you are being paid to play. How about playing for the fans.
Most of the talk prior to the game concerned Courtois ‘being dropped’. Courtois has been less than subtle or private about his desire to leave the club this summer. This is the same Courtois who gave us an ultimatum forcing us into selling Cech, at least a season before we would have ideally liked. This is the same Courtois who has hardly covered himself in glory this campaign. So what are we doing exactly, ‘dropping him’ so he’ll be nice and fresh and injury-free when we sell him to Real Madrid? That’ll learn him!!
