Guus Hiddink warns under-performing Chelsea charges

The 69-year-old was speaking ahead of Watford’s visit, his first game in his second stint back at the club with ex-boss Jose Mourinho sacked last Thursday.

Tornado watch, T’storm warnings issued
There were reports of trees down near Calcasieu, Louisiana, along with power outages and one person injured in a camping trailer. The National Weather Service forecasts likely storms forming the night of Christmas Eve and intensifying through the weekend.

Hiddink said that the players must have a “great desire to play” and if they didn’t they should “knock on my door” and they would “talk briefly”.


Rocket returns from space
Welcome to the club! In 2014, SpaceX twice reentered a Falcon 9 first stage from space and landed it in the Atlantic Ocean. Monday night’s mission was the first time SpaceX has been able to successfully touch down the Falcon 9 post-launch.

Chelsea’s under-performing stars have been warned new boss Guus Hiddink will bin them immediately if they are stroppy. To be honest I was very disappointed about that decision because we were in the driving seat to go into the last three or four games and to get it done.


Scientists awed by Cassini’s final pass of Saturn’s moon Enceladus
Using this sample of water, scientists hope to discover whether the ocean on this moon can support life. Cassini is now headed to another of Saturn’s moons, Titan, which contains surface hydrocarbon lakes.

But the Belgian could overcome hip trouble and be selected for the home game against Watford on Boxing Day, with Hiddink intent on helping the 24-year-old hit back to his best after a miserable opening to the new campaign.

Derby manager Paul Clement was a first team coach at Blues under Hiddink when the Dutchman was there previously in 2009.

Former Chelsea hit man Drogba sat alongside Hiddink and owner Roman Abramovich for the 3-1 win over Sunderland last weekend.

Montreal Impact are “willing to accommodate” Didier Drogba’s desire to help his former club Chelsea but expect the striker to return to Major League Soccer action next year.

“But the team have the obligation, and feel they must, win back the support of the crowd”. He is a legend already in this club, but also outside this club in the world.

“At this moment he is playing in Montreal but all clubs have figures who can be ambassadors, coaches, manager or whatever, and they need the opportunity to do so”.

“It’s hard for me to know what to call him”.

Premier League strugglers Chelsea are reported to have reached an agreement with Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk for the 30m pound transfer of Alex Teixeira, according to The Metro.

“The official process I don’t know, but such impact players can be huge for the club”. The Chelsea defence will have to be wary of the strike partnership of Ighalo and Troy Deeney as like Leicester’s front 2 are proving they can cut it in the premier league.

“People have to deal with contracts and situations. With hard work and dedication I believe I can, and I’m very excited”.

“It’s a little bit early to say I will bring in a youngster of 17, 18 or 19, but in general if they show they are competitive, I am not against it”.
