You would have all noticed a tweak in Thomas Tuchel’s formation in recent matches, going from the 3-4-3 that we have grown familiar to seeing, to now lining up with more of a 3-4-1-2. This formation suits players like Mason Mount, who has been thriving in the hole, or the number 10 position with a […] View the full article

Well today was interesting to say the least. It saw the Champions League Last 16 draw and it was actually pretty shambolic from a UEFA point of view. As you have probably seen, Chelsea have now been drawn against Lille twice today. The first time around was null and void due to a mistake from […] View the full article

Thomas Tuchel has basically mirrored exactly what Frank Lampard said about his players almost a year a go to this day.

Christian Pulisic’s career at Chelsea so far hasn’t worked out as the player or the club would have hoped so far. But his issues have been with fitness, not with his quality. When he’s been on the pitch he’s had some superb games, and it should be remembered that it was his spurt of brilliant […] View the full article

It’s easy to forget that politics can also play a big part in football whether we want to admit that or not. In fact, it probably plays a big part in many operations, way more than what we even think.

I’ve seen a lot of people debating the performance of Hakim Ziyech against Manchester United on Sunday and the two differentiating views seem to be extreme one way or the other. It would be amazing if you guys subscribed for my project over at Si & Dan Talk Chelsea, where we are putting out so much […] View the full article

Thomas Tuchel has got so much right tactically that it always seems churlish to criticise things that go wrong. Indeed, if the ball bounces a little differently yesterday, Chelsea could walk away with a pretty easy win over Manchester United, who threatened little beyond their goal, which came from a fairly freakish mistake. But frustrated […] View the full article

Chelsea had the awful news this week that it looks like Ben Chilwell could be out until January at the very least, and that might even extend to the rest of the season should he require surgery.

The Antonio Rudiger contract situation is one that has split opinions, and for me, it has actually seen me change mine, which of course is totally fine to do in football.
