Interview/Presser Xabi on JP: ‘When you want to become a top striker in this league, you need to be ready in each game to have your impact. He's having it and we need that he keeps going. So far, and before this, I could see him scoring lots of goals, and he's in a good moment. He will have a very good season.'

What makes a team tough to beat?

Once upon a time, Chelsea were exactly that, thanks to players such as John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.

But in recent years, strength of character has been in short supply — and manager Xabi Alonso faces a challenge to turn his players into the 'mentality monsters' he talked about during negotiations over his appointment.

So, so glad that it did not take a dark and unfortunate turn. Easily one of the scariest injuries to have happened in football.

Love him. Miss him so much at Chelsea.
