COME ON CHELSEA

Chelsea ARE without seven stars for Saturday's trip to Molineux to face Wolves. Added to the list of Essien, Ashley Cole, Bosingwa, Belletti and Deco is Super Frank who has a virus and Alex with a knee problem, which was damaged in training on Thursday. Boss 'Anco' said, "We have some injuries for the next game." However prognosis for the Inter game next Wednesday is good.

'Anco' said, "I think some players can recover for the game against Inter except Ashley Cole, Bosingwa and Essien."

One piece of good news is that JT is fit and ready after his spell of compassionate leave and is expected to line-up with Carvalho as the centre-halves.

'Anco' said of Terry, "I expect nothing more than what he did in the last game, he did very well, he returned and trained very well this week. He is able to play, is in good condition and has very good motivation."

'Anco' finished off his press conference by saying, "We have some problems and I want to take a decision after training today."

Michael Mancienne is unavailable for Wolves due to the terms of his season-long loan.

With the recent publicity surrounding our skipper and Ashley Cole, again I will say their private lives are private and they should conduct themselves accordingly and not bring shame on the club, who get enough 'negative' publicity as it is, therefore bringing the club into disrepute.

With that in mind, Chelsea arranged a meeting with all the players at Cobham this week.

'Anco' and Chief Executive Ron Gourlay attended and it is reported that the players were given 'the hairdryer treatment' and they were told that the image of Chelsea Football Club is paramount and must be protected.

'Anco,' said, "I don't read the papers because my language is not so good but I know very well what happened. I said I am not interested in the private life, if it is not involving the professional life.

"We had a meeting this week with the players, it was a good meeting with Ron Gourlay and we explained to them what is to be the behaviour of the players in this club. Now they know very well what they have to do, how to behave when they have a shirt of Chelsea.

"We are interested to protect the image of this club. Not only the players and manager but all the staff, all the people who work in this club have to protect the image of the club.

"The image of the club is one of the most important things we want to carry forward and the players and staff know very well what they have to do.

"It was a private meeting and I don't like to speak about this, but the most important thing was that in the club everybody has to pay attention to protect the image of the club.

"There were all the players, and so Ron spoke for the club, for the owner, and the players listened."

Losing Lampard is a blow but hopefully Zhirkov will continue to improve in form to cover for Ashley Cole (although I do feel he is more an attacking midfielder).

I´m not so sure the "behave yourselves!" lecture will do any good. The media will ALWAYS look to destabilise us as much as possible (more so than the other clubs). There are probably players getting up to all sorts at other PL clubs but I doubbt the media would expose them with the same enthusiasm. Still...

McCarthy will have to play a reasonably strong side now that he has been given a warning from the PL.

I´ve a feeling that this could be a very difficult match all considered.

Alison Bender: Why do you think we have such a problem with our away form?

Drogba: Whooo! Well if I knew the answer to that I would be manager!

Lol!

To be fair, he did add that we should attack more after scoring to try and increase the lead to 2 goals.
