WHAT IS JOSH DOING ON THE BENCH?

Why can’t we give youth a chance now? He is good enough to be on the pitch, If Lampard, Ramieres, Mikel can start so can Josh.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

The boy is not just for the future, he is for the now. His youth and game will wake up the veterans in the field. Ozil and Wilshere are not better than Josh, they’ve just been given the opportunity and confidence to start games with the big boys.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Let’s not allow our young with potential to waste away while we drop points, if this boy starts seven straight matches then he could turn into a Messi or Ronaldo. He is that good and I am not English, so please don’t think I’m prejudiced.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

I am still mourning over the sale of Miroslav Stoch; he left because he knew he wasn’t going to play.

Josh won’t leave but he has to play. He may not have the pedigree but he has the potential to play for our first team, we must leave out sentiment and put out the best on the pitch. Anyone who doesn’t want to sit on the bench should prove it in training and on the pitch.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

For now though Josh has a place in my Chelsea first team, but I am not the coach, or am I?
