#3 Gary Cahill is back!

Chelsea v A.F.C. Bournemouth - Premier League
What happened?

For those who have been reading the Chelsea talking points since the start of the season, there is one point I kept using till November: Gary Cahill must be benched.

However, for the last 2.5 months, the English defender was doing well and was finally regaining the confidence of the Chelsea faithful. All that went crashing last night against Bournemouth.

He was clueless, out of position and never looked like he was going to make things difficult for Callum Wilson and Junior Stanislas. The Bournemouth duo was unable to do anything when Andreas Christensen was on the pitch but as soon as he got injured, they ran the show.

When the captain himself is the worst player on the pitch, how do you expect the other players to be motivated? It will be the best thing for Chelsea if they let go of Cahill in the summer.
