Ivanovic, I understand from some staunch Chelsea supporters was brought to the club on the advise of no less a person than Roman Abramovich the club's owner. So that may also be on the mind of Mourinho when deciding on the fate and future of the Serbian. Mourinho is indeed in a real quarry given Rahman's solid display against Kiev. One thing is for sure: the Chelsea fans appear to appreciate Rahman's contribution and potential, giving him the applause anytime he makes a tackle or complete a pass. They appear to be giving him the encouragement to continue to play well and stay at the club. So it will be very interesting when Ivanovic makes a full injury return. Either way I wish the Ghanaian youngster the best of luck.

Mourinho has already said Baba is a fantastic player but not yet cut for the epl.I try to re echo what he said, and you claimed I was predicting doom.If Abromavich brought Ivanovic and he is not performing well,Mourinho will drop him.Mourinho is not like a Ghanaian who likes to kiss boots.We all wish the Ghanaian youngster the best of luck,including Mourinho.Mourinho wants to win matches so I don't think he will intentionally exclude certain players because they are black or Ghanaians.He is the coach and he knows what is good for Chelsea.We are just fighting for Baba because he is a Ghanaian.

Rasheed you are always trying to beat about the bush or just playing with words. No body has said Rahman is not playing because he is a Ghanaian or Black. You are the one saying Mourinho fielded a weak team for the Champions League because he will present his strongest side against Stoke on Saturday. Now don't run away or try to beat about the bush. Can you name Chelsea's strongest side? And also who were the strongest players left out of the team last night? If you come out with your answers you will realise that there is no truth whatsoever in your assertion other than to present a negative prediction about Baba's fate with your inaccurate assertion. Know that Mourinho's chances of ensuring success this season lies in the Champions League and perhaps the FA Cup. So if you think he doesn't take the Champions League seriously, then you are just playing with words. And in fact anybody who have the same mentality I am afraid to say has low powers of logic. Don't forget to answer those 2 questions if you want this discourse to continue. And as far as Ivanovic is concerned it is only you who appears to think he is playing well. He has been the weakest link in the Chelsea defence. Most analysts and coaches are aware of that and has been exploiting that fact to their advantage if you may care to know. Just can't wait to get your response to those 2 questions Emperor Rasheed.

I am not beating around the bush,or playing with words.I know you are a Professor, and you always have the words in your pocket to play with. Resting some key players is not equivalent to fielding a weak team.Are Cahill,Pedro, Hazard,and Ivanovic not key players? (Ivanovic has recovered) You are rather making a big mistake Coaches are not fired because they failed in the champions league,rather in their various national leagues.Rasheed,Mourinho and professor Ken, certainly know Chelsea cannot survive the champions league this year.Please look at Chelsea's position on the league table and ask Mourinho what is his biggest worry between the two? I am not presenting a negative prediction for Baba,but I am only stating Mourinho's position on Baba's performance in the epl.He said Baba is not yet cut for the epl.Baba has been impressive in the ecl,but yet to impress in the epl and you know that.Was he not substituted in their match against Stoke City? I was reacting to your comments about Ivanovic's link with Abromavic and Mourinho been bias with selection.. With regards to Ivanovic'performance that is also relative.Mourinho once said he is not relying on what the journalists are saying about Ivanovic.He is on the field,and sees him in a different way.I said Mourinho may not use Baba against Stoke on Saturday,and that is not predicting doom for Baba.Why should I predict doom for Baba? If I predict doom for him it will bounce back to me.Stay cool my Professor.

You have still not answered the 2 questions Emperor Haile Rasheed. Cahill, Pedro and Hazard came on last night. And you still have not been able to tell Ghanaians which of the starting 11 you consider not key for Chelsea? Costa? Azpilcuelta? Terry? Bergovic? Matic? Just who, Your Excellency? Perhaps you had Baba in mind, whom you think is not up to standards in the EPL. But you cannot say the inclusion of one player whom you think is not up to scratch does make the team a weaker one. So the status quo remain; your assertion that Mourinho fielded a weak side to rest his "key players" for Saturday does not hold water. And that Mourinho does not care about the Champions League is also invalid. Baba may not play on Saturday. But I believe your intervention will mean he may play because like I have said before, most of the time, the opposite of whatever you say or predict tend to happen. I don't think you can or are already to provide answers to the 2 questions so there is no need to continue discussions. As always all this debate is done in good faith.

This is a national site. However this is full of cheap journalists. Plagiarism is a very serious offence. If sports journalists are not will to work on this site, then it's better they shut it down .

I knew it from the beginning of the article that it could not be a Ghanaian journalist who wrote the piece.
