Next season, things will be different at Chelsea. Another new (possibly a returning one) manager, and more change, including to the midfield unit, which has seen too many names play next to John Obi Mikel, who has been the defensive rock in the middle of the pitch, forced to make up for the weaknesses and holes both Ramires and Frank Lampard manage to create time after time.
