After a tough start of the season Chelsea host Southampton at 5:30PM Saturday evening, only Courtois is unavailable through injury. Mourinho confirmed that Marco Amelia has been training at Cobham for the last couple of days. Here is a summary of the rest of the conference.
on dropping certain players…
Every player has the ambition to be playing, but they’re very respectful to me and other players when they aren’t. My assistant reported that Remy, Oscar and Falcao trained fantastically well when the squad was in Porto.
The fans can sing about John Terry, it’s important they support him when he is not playing. The supporters are great.
on Eva Carneiro…
For the past two months, I haven’t spoken about the FA. One day I will speak, but I will choose the day. I’m quiet about it. My time to speak [about the FA] will come. I will choose that time.
on Southampton…
Southampton are a good team that we couldn’t beat last season, and they will give us a difficult match. I think we can win every game. I told you that before Arsenal, Newcastle and Porto. We won, drew and lost, but it’s my feeling.
