' Remy was being readied to play alongside Costa at Hull , but had to instead replace the striker , who picked up a hamstring injury . It was the France striker 's fourth goal of a season which has seen him given limited opportunities , mainly off the substitutes ' bench . He told chelseafc.com : 'It is true it is frustrating sitting on the bench but the manager knows all the team and he has very good quality in the squad . ' I know there are only 11 players on the pitch and as soon the manager needs me I am here . 'It 's one of my best moments at Chelsea .
