I'm in that dressing room, I'm pulling Rossini to the side and saying, what the hell's going on?

I want to go to Man City with my best 11.

So you're alienating everybody.

You're alienating the players that you've talked to, whether you deem them the right or wrong.

And you're alienating the rest of the experience in the dressing room because they're going to be annoyed because they're going into one of the toughest games of the season.

When this broke, I honestly thought they were playing Port Vale and Wolves.

I thought, oh, they must be two doubles of a game.

And then I realised one of the games was Man City.

I was like, this is just utter madness.

Which I suppose is a good way to sum up the way this current ownership have ran Chelsea since day one.

Chelsea.

And this just makes it even worse and actually looks as though that's exactly what he is.

A puppet that's going to be told what to do.

Chelsea against Port Vale, live then on ESPN Plus tomorrow.

Before that, it's the little matter of Manchester City against Liverpool.

Everyone has gone for a Manchester City victory with the exception of Kieran Gibbs and Luis Garcia.

Stevie?

He'll be in the paper.

What's the paper?

Liverpool echo.
