MATCH QUOTES

“If he [Christian Benteke] didn’t have a clause in his contract then £100m wouldn’t have taken him away from us. “He wasn’t worth selling for any money. No money can guarantee you Premier League survival – that player could. “We scraped through relegation last season and were the worst team left in the Premier League. We lost our three best players and that should put it in perspective. I’ve seen it first-hand, I’ve seen a lot of players come in to try and replace one; it’s difficult. You do drop – we can’t afford to drop. We have to make sure we stay at least where we were, and higher. That’s the size of the task ahead. We knew it wasn’t going to be easy and I think all the decision-makers at the club appreciated that. “You don’t always get what you want but certainly every player who came in is a name I would have cast my eye over” – he admitted that he could not guarantee when everything would click. “You can only speed up the process by doing what we’re doing on the training pitch. “There is no magic wand. You have more assurances if you know that people have played in the league before. It’s difficult. The group we’ve got, I’m pleased with. But they’re the unknown in this division, one million per cent. “I love to have a go every game but you work with what you’ve got. “I want everyone to be as good as Benteke or as lively as Delph but we’re working with a different group and you have to find a way which is best for the team. Sometimes you can’t play the swashbuckling style because of the personnel. Now Adama [Traoré] might be able to give us that – he’s certainly looked better this week and he can be a swashbuckling player. But we’re talking about a 19-year-old boy who’s come from League Two in Spain, which I could still play in with respect.” Tim Sherwood pre-match excoriates the transfer market follies of Lerner, Fox, Almstadt and Riley. “We played on the front foot here at the Bridge, we matched them initially. We believe we’ll stay in this division, though it’s clear for everyone to see that we’re a side in transition. “I will stand at the front and take the brunt of it. I don’t want my players shrinking and running into the corners and crying - that’s what’s expected of me, and I won’t do that. “I didn’t hear my supporters shouting for me to leave. I’ll keep swinging, even if I’m backed into a corner.” Tim Sherwood, Saturday, 17 October 2015.

Opens in New Window

*BBC Sport*
Saturday, 17 October 2015

The returning Diego Costa played a key role as Chelsea earned a much-needed win over struggling Aston Villa. The striker tapped in Willian’s pass midway through the first half after defender Joleon Lescott’s mis-control gifted the ball to the home side. It was a welcome break for the Blues, who doubled their lead when Villa’s Alan Hutton deflected in Costa’s shot. Chelsea, 16th in the table at the start of the day, were not at their best - but Villa offered little. What contributions Tim Sherwood’s side did make to the game were all in Chelsea’s favour as they repeatedly gave the ball away and were punished accordingly. They remain in 18th place and without a win in their past eight matches. Chelsea’s second home win of the season moves them up to 11th in the table, five points behind fourth place. Chelsea’s desire was epitomised in one incident, 20 minutes from time when a group of Blues defenders flung themselves at the feet of Lescott to prevent him poking the ball in from close range to give Villa a foothold back in the game. *Villans in need of some heroes* Sherwood only took over at Villa in February, after which he saved them from relegation and led them to the FA Cup final - achievements that should earn him time in his job. They started reasonably well at Stamford Bridge, keeping Chelsea at bay with a packed midfield and occasionally breaking with purpose, albeit with no end product. Jack Grealish was lively for 20 minutes on his return to the side and Rudy Gestede proved a physical challenge for Blues captain John Terry on the few occasions the ball came near him. But Sherwood - and his bosses - should be concerned by the mistakes that regularly gifted Chelsea possession and ultimately the win, as well as the way the players meekly accepted a fifth straight defeat once Costa’s low shot had found the net off Hutton’s boot.
