Chelsea’s Kenedy did well against Crystal Palace (Picture: Reuters)The international break has come at a good time for Chelsea as Jose Mourinho has much to mull over following a poor start to their Premier League defence.Despite winning the league and Capital One Cup last season the issue of depth has been a long-standing concern. It didn’t really trouble the Blues domestically last season as their rivals were all over the place, but was painfully exposed in European competition and changes ought to be made.Mourinho needs to trust his squad and cannot rely on the small pool of players that got him through last season.Already we’ve seen the comprar coins fifa 16 defence look fractious, with Branislav Ivanovic being culpable for many of the goals Chelsea have shipped so far. In midfield Nemanja Matic, starved of competition, has gone completely off the boil while Cesc Fabregas and Eden Hazard haven’t returned from the beach and Diego Costa is too busy picking fights with opposing defenders.I’m not sure what point the manager was trying to prove when he threw Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Robert Kenedy into the mire against Crystal Palace on Saturday, perhaps to demonstrate a lack of depth, but he’d be sending out the entirely wrong message if he does not use the duo against Everton when the club return to action as they put some of the seniors to shame.Chelsea should give Ruben Loftus-Cheek more game time (Picture: Getty Images)Mourinho isn’t known for nurturing young talent and harshly gave Loftus-Cheek a public dressing down for an apparent lack of effort in a post-season friendly, but the Englishman certainly looked far more eager than Matic had been as he demanded the ball and got stuck into tackles. He couldn’t really do any worse than the senior central pairing have done, so he’s worthy of the time and will only fulfil his potential with time on the pitch.As for Kenedy, his manager was highly impressed with his attitude and said that he was responsible for the improvement in the team. He’s an unknown quantity, demonstrated pace and trickery, so is worthy of a place with Pedro as part of the attacking midfield – especially as Willian is afraid to shoot, Hazard turned up for the season overweight and Oscar has been struggling with buy fifa coins an injury since the opening day.Chelsea proved last season how crucial a good start is to a league campaign but find themselves eight points behind Manchester City, who looked strong and have bolstered an already deep squad with star talent, so it’s going to be a battle considering the manager was reluctant to panic buy his way out of the situation.Perhaps Mourinho should start to consider the long game, every competition is still open to the Blues but they must develop their own talent and this season would be a good start.Read more
