Cole taken off for the 12th match in a row
Joe Cole is expected to seek talks with the Chelsea manager, Luiz Felipe Scolari, after being taken off against Southend United - the 12th club match in a row in which the England midfielder has been substituted.
Cole was taken off in the 84th minute on Saturday with Chelsea leading 1-0 and went down the tunnel without shaking hands with Scolari or acknowledging his manager.
The 27-year-old is understood to want to discuss his predicament with Scolari. Although he is regularly starting matches for Chelsea, he is becoming wearily accustomed to being taken off, at times because of injury, and twice in a run which stretches back to late September he has been substituted at half-time.
Scolari, who has been the subject of criticism recently from the striker Didier Drogba, claimed on Friday that all his players 'love him'.

This is the thing that Scolari must quickly address...kick him out if he is not happy, as simple as that to show who is in charge. If not and this thing carries on, Scolari will lose his job very soon....

but he cannot kick Cole out as if he's a dog. e fans at e Bridge will then try to kick Scolari out instead.
i think there was once when ex-boss jose was sacked, e fans all protested against roman, e owner of Chelsea FC.
