Thiago Silva has replied to a Chelsea fan who said the Brazilian should be dropped after the Blues’ defeat by Nottingham Forest.
“This won’t go down well, but I think it’s time to drop Thiago Silva. Playing him is becoming a problem because we have to play a back five to shoehorn him in.“Playing four at the back will allow us to be better going forward, and I don’t think we’ll suffer much at the back. Nothing but respect to Thiago, but I think we’d be better off without him at the minute.”
“If you look closely at the game, we are playing with a line of four my friend!“But there's no problem in assuming that I'm also responsible for the defeat. Put the pressure on me no problem yesterday!”

Despite yet another record breaking transfer window, in which Chelsea broke the British transfer record to bring in Moises Caicedo, it has been a tough start for new manager Mauricio Pochettino.
After the match, Pochettino said:
“In this type of game, I think it would help us to be more mature and to feel the competition. It is not enough to have quality but you need to compete in a different way to match their aggressivity, energy and desire," he told reporters.
“They didn't create many chances. We conceded because of our mistake. Disappointed because it was a game that should be a win but we need to be more clinical in front of the goal. We didn't score and that is why we didn't win.”
Chelsea will be back in Premier League action against Bournemouth on September 17.
