I wasn't being taken into consideration.
They have to be at their best and make an initial impression that actually is worthwhile.
This is true for any manager and for any player.
New manager comes in, he's evaluating.
And he owes nothing to any of these players.
For them, all these players, or for him, all these players have now an opportunity.
We are in the show me stage for Chelsea players, if indeed they want to be part of what's ahead in the future of Chelsea.
But we don't even know what that is.
We don't know what the immediate future of Chelsea is.
We don't know what the long-term future of Chelsea is.
Because if Lima del Senor comes in and says, well, I need another player here, and I need another player there, and I'm not quite certain that this is the direction we want to go, or is he just a yes man?
And that is the perception that we get from him coming in, is that this guy, in this short period, is going to be a yes man.
He's going to say yes to those above him so that then he's allowed to work.
But at some point, he's going to want to have his team.
And none of these players are part of his team.
To that point, to Ali's theme around consistency and continuity, Liam Rossignol needs to know who his starting 11 is and stick with it.
