Mauricio Pochettino and his tactical decisions
Winning by a five goal margin for the first time against today’s opponent West Ham, evidence of a true resurgence is finally becoming “believable” for all in Chelsea’s blue. A five star performance right in front of the home crowd accompanied with a clean-sheet and the return of key injured players like Malo Gusto and […]
Marc Cucurella is staking a claim to make sure Ben Chilwell is sold in the Summer instead
Reading the opponent’s team-news and seeing a backline of Gilchrist, Chalobah, Badiashile and Cucurella would ordinarily birth unfounded confidence that was prior absent in a opposing team’s attack. It is almost certain that Ange Postegoclou’s men were patiently anticipating an “easier” affair after a more torrid outing against Arsenal in the past weekend. However, that […]
Cole Palmer had every right to push Jackson away from the spot
“Can Chelsea’s remaining games be played on Monday night please?” The above statement is one of plea from many fans connected to Chelsea as the blues last lost a game on Monday in 2018 (A 1-0 loss to yesterday’s opponent, Everton). Coming off a disappointing 2-2 draw against bottom of the league Sheffield United, Mauricio […]
Mauricio Pochettino shows no signs of positive consistency in his management
If a poll had been thrown open to Chelsea fans after the United game about how confident they were going into today’s game against Sheffield United, over 70% would certainly have voiced how nervous and unsure about the team they were, and rightly so. Remembering the joy and celebrations at the aftermath of the game […]
Cole Palmer to the rescue, once again
A player who only burst onto the scene after a beautiful curling effort against Arsenal in the community shield followed up by a header to level matters against Sevilla in the European Super cup just four days after, it seemed destined for Palmer to finally get his deserved shot at regular men’s football. However, with […]
Chelsea bottle another lead, the data shows why Mauricio Pochettino might need to depart
Asking a fan about his preferred scenario about his team’s game by half time and ten out of ten would mention the exact position Chelsea found themselves at half time. A goal up, and a man down, even the opposition manager being sent off. It seemed perfect, but Chelsea once again showed their bottling gene, […]
Playing Raheem Sterling consistently contradicts the consistent “project” talk
Giving up a 2-goal lead after some woeful finishes which included a penalty miss from Raheem Sterling, the afternoon could have turned out worse with the home crowd turning on the team. Already 29-years of age, the England international is at the ripe age to be the team’s leader in attack and his wages suggest […]
No tactical change will bring instant success with this current Chelsea squad
A system many Chelsea fans are familiar with is that of the back three. It is a system which has brought about so much success in recent seasons with protagonists like Antonïo Conte and Thomas Tuchel leading charges of victorious teams like the 2016/2017 Premier league squad and the 2021/2022 UEFA Champions League squad respectively. […]
Mykhailo Mudryk’s new role could truly kick start his Chelsea career
Regarded as a flop after signing for a fee in the region of 65 million pounds (excluding add-ons), Mykhailo Mudryk just might have a new role in Mauricio Pochettino’s system. Pochettino setting the team up in his usual 4-2-3-1 saw Mudryk play as the number 10, for the first time in his short Chelsea career. […]
Moises Caicedo needs to stop being berated in the media
Signed from Brighton for a staggering 115 million pounds, Moisés Caicedo has often been scrutinised rather unfairly. With reports of the Blues’ hierarchy losing their patience with head coach Mauricio Pochettino, it is a fellow Spanish-speaking young lad who’s fighting tooth and nail for his beloved manager. Singling out his Chelsea ‘fan-hood’ from his younger […]
