Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti expects keeper Petr Cech to bounce back from his recent jitters. Ancelotti's men have looked vulnerable from set-pieces and Cech's communication with his defenders has been highlighted after the Barclays Premier League leaders took just nine points from 18 in December.
However, Ancelotti believes errors come from his goalkeeper wanting to take responsibility for his penalty area, which the Italian views as a positive attribute.
"I said Petr Cech is one of the most important players for this team, one of the best goalkeepers in the world," Ancelotti said.
"I like him because he takes on responsibility in the box, he likes to come out to catch the ball. Above all, that's important in England, to have this kind of goalkeeper.
"A goalkeeper that takes responsibility can make the odd mistake. I prefer to have a goalkeeper who takes responsibility than one who just stays on his goal line and doesn't take that responsibility."
