Player ratings: Chelsea smashed by Liverpool in horror show at Anfield
I’ll put an early disclaimer in to say that this is not going to be a review where I try to find positives. There can be no holding back on what on earth we all witnessed tonight. Embarrassing, the lot of them. Djordje Petrovic – 7 The only player who can walk off the pitch […]
Player ratings: Djordje Petrovic saves Chelsea in cup stalemate with Aston Villa
Chelsea are held to a goalless draw at home against Aston Villa, in a performance of two halves.

WEMBLEY AWAITS! Chelsea thrash Middlesbrough 6 (6) – 1 (2) to reach the Carabao Cup final, where we await either Liverpool or Fulham.

Player ratings: Cole Palmer guides Chelsea to derby victory despite nervy ending
A win, and a needed one! Chelsea continue to face our age old problems, but Cole Palmer’s penalty and a solid enough – but not fully convincing I’ll add, defensive showing wins us the three points, and for now, we jump to eighth. Djordje Petrovic – 7 Really solid today and made some important saves […]
Player ratings: Chelsea lose to Middlesbrough in the first leg of the Carabao Cup – the WORST performance under Pochettino
Chelsea’s worst performance of the season, and one of the worst in years, sees us lose our semi-final first leg of the Carabao Cup.

Player ratings: Noni Madueke grabs late winner in message to Mauricio Pochettino
An ugly win, but importantly a win for Chelsea. It’s one of those that we’d put aside in the “forgettable” files, but it’s three points, and we take them. Djordje Petrovic – 7 Solid distribution, a few tidy saves and nothing much else of note. We can’t ask much more from our keeper today. Malo […]
Player ratings: Chelsea suffer another away defeat to Wolves
Back to square minus five. A fourth away loss in a row, the same old issues, the same names to blame. Is it a surprise anymore? Djordje Petrovic – 7 One of only two actual positives today with a few big saves, most notably his one from Lemina’s header. Still no complaints about him as […]
Player ratings: Chelsea miraculously defeat Newcastle to get into the Carabao Cup semi final!
A lively night under the lights at The Bridge sees us advance into the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, courtesy of a late Mudryk leveler, and a superb Dorde Petrovic save to seal the win on penalties. Is this the night it changes? Is it another false start? Time will tell, but for now we […]
Player ratings: Pochettino out! Chelsea lose 2-0 to Everton
Another abysmal afternoon for Chelsea, this time coming at the hands of Everton, who now sit just six points behind Pochettino’s side despite having a 10 point deduction a few weeks ago. In my mind, time is up for Mauricio Pochettino. Robert Sanchez – 5 One of the performances that wasn’t a standout today, which […]
