Chelsea’s injuries are so extensive that there are only 15 fit players left in the squad. It has Mourinho seriously thinking of playing Hilario, the reserve goalie as a striker for the FA final against Man Utd this Saturday at Wembley.
Given that Hilario is quite the dud in goal, maybe this will be his big moment. I see him as scoring goals using the “hand of god ” technique except it won’t be as well disguised. He might be punching every long ball or corner, Van Der Saar’s way.
Seriously, did anyone see that it would come to this? The team with the bottomless money pit with almost 300m pounds invested in players, is now thinking of playing the reserve goalie as striker.
