 He was also left on the bench against Manchester United and managed only 45 minutes in FIFA 16 games against Liverpool and Tottenham. In fact, he has not played a full match against a top-four side since the 0-0 draw against Arsenal on December 23.Cole’s place has gone to Cesar Azpilicueta and Mourinho has eyes on Luke Shaw for the left-back role. The Southampton FIFA player is destined for a big move, most likely this summer, and he may be the only addition to a defence that has the best record in the Premier League, with only 24 conceded.New man: Southampton's Luke Shaw is seen by many as being the long-term replacement for Cole Flying high: The Saints left-back has impressed this season with his marauding runs from defence They may have been labelled ‘ridiculous’ by Mourinho in the aftermath of their PSG defeat, but on the whole it is a very good unit, protected brilliantly by deep-lying midfielder Nemanja Matic.An important part of the side’s evolution may also come from internal promotions. Questions about the decision to let Romelu Lukaku go to Everton on loan have mithered Mourinho all season. His 12 Premier League goals have made him impossible to ignore. But if he returns, will he get more than a bench spot, considering Mourinho’s plans for Costa? Then there’s the goalkeeping situation. Petr Cech is rightly regarded as one of the great goalkeepers of the Premier League era. After 10 years at Chelsea, it is perhaps surprising to think he is only 31. Clearly there are more miles to be had, but this week his long-distance understudy, Thibault Courtois, drew yet more gushing praise. Imposing: Chelsea's Belgian keeper Thibault Courtois - on loan at Atletico Madrid - has seen his reputation soar Ready to take over? Petr Cech is still only 31 - young for goalkeeper - but Courtois looks ready to become No 1 The Belgian has been on loan at Atletico Madrid from parent club Chelsea for two-and-a-half years and there are some strong suggestions fifa16coinbuy that he will spend another season in Spain. But Chelsea rate the 21-year-old extremely highly and want him to sign a contract that will tie him to the club until 2019.It is not beyond the realms of possibility, therefore, that the goalkeeper will be brought back inside the Chelsea tent this summer, not least because of his outstanding performance against Barcelona on Tuesday. It prompted Barca manager Gerardo Martino to call him ‘one of the best in the world’, though it still seems more likely that his Chelsea breakthrough will come another year down the line. Of course, it is in attack where the biggest surgery will be performed. Demba Ba has looked out of place and Fernando Torres is surely about to get a fresh start elsewhere. Mourinho’s subtle digs against the Spaniard after losing against PSG on Wednesday did not go unnoticed. Dejected: Fernando Torres hangs his head after PSG's third goal is scored in Chelsea's Champions League loss Bench warmer.
