Would you give Cech his place back now he is fit? Hasn't his substitute
looked more reliable
in the few games he has had?

Er... he wasn't injured, he was suspended... and still is in the Premier
League.

Hilario will be playing against Aston Villa tomorrow obviously, but Cech
is Chelsea's Number One goalkeeper, so I can't see Ancelotti dropping him
in favour of Hilario. Looking good against a toothless Liverpool team
doesn't mean that Hilario is a great goal keeper. But as cover for Petr
Cech he is adequate.

Actually just watching Chelsea TV, and found out that he isn't! As it was
only a one match ban and not three as I thought. Ooops!

I thought a straight red card was an automatic three game ban.

Oh well you learn something new all the time.

I had to look it up earlier, as I remember the TV pundits at the time
saying that Cech would serve a three match ban. But then today I saw on
Chelsea TV that Petr Cech was back for the Villa game. It seems in the
Premier League a straight red card is an automatic one game ban. Although
a straight red card for violent conduct is a three match ban. The referee
obviously deemed that Cech's challenge, while a foul, was not violent
conduct. Which is fair enough.
