What it meant to Parker

Should be on the FIFA best coach shortlist instead of Bielsa

Well, dropping Mitro and Cairney, that was brave and it looks as if it was the right thing to do.
Lets have no more Parker out posts, even if we suffer losses against City and Liverpool.

It's one of the many admirable traits of SP...no favourites. I was wondering if Lampard was ringing to query RLC not playing but Parker has waited wisely. That sent a message to the Chelsea player that he has to earn his place. Likewise being prepared to leave Cairney out, despite the fact that some of his recent play has been of far higher order than usual, and Mitro even if for just tactical reasons spells it out. It's what's good for FFC that counts

Parker's done very well on the night

Yep, it was brave selections and a really good gameplan.
