Things haven\u2019t all gone to plan since then, but the Ecuador star has just agreed a new contract, and speaking to TNT Sport this week he claimed he\u2019s convinced things can turn around fast at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<h2>Caicedo believes he and Chelsea can turn things around<\/h2>\n<p>\u201c(I signed) because I believe that in this thing we can do a lot of things together,\u201d Caicedo explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo (that) made me sign a new contract here. I am convinced that we are not in a very good moment, but I am convinced we are going to come back and we are going to put (ourselves back) where Chelsea belong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am so convinced. I\u2019m not going to change, because, for sure, the only way to do that is believing. And that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We wish we were as \u201cconvinced\u201d as you, Moises\u2026 although repeating that word three times does give the impression he\u2019s trying to \u201cconvince\u201d himself he actually believes what he\u2019s saying.<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>We think Liam Delap is almost certain to start tomorrow \u2013 although there are certainly more popular options among fans.<\/p>\n<p>Calum McFarlane admitted that, with options limited, he may have to turn to the Chelsea academy for players to sit on the bench tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
