I can’t remember the last time I saw Chelsea’s players finishing like they did yesterday against Fulham. Perhaps when Cole Palmer was sizzling and scoring for fun. Granted, Jadon Sancho also did it against Ipswich to save our total embarrassment in that game. But other than that, we just don’t finish like that enough. Literally […]View the full article

With just five games left of the season now and a huge run in for Champions League qualification, it’s time for Enzo Maresca to be bold and brave. Do I have any confidence at all that he will? Nope. But we can hope. Tyrique George has done enough to start the next game and in […]View the full article

We all know how bad Robert Sanchez is and we are all angry and completely puzzled as to why the manager keeps picking him, and why the club have not already replaced him with a top new number one. This is probably THE worst situation and THE most baffling one at our club right now, […]View the full article

Pundit Jamie Carragher picked out Ben Johnson’s goal for Ipswich on Sunday, the second of the game, to analyse on Monday Night Football in order to illustrate that “there is no connection” between Chelsea supporters and Enzo Maresca. “Maresca, down here – the manager, he’s instructing Palmer to get higher up and keep an eye […]View the full article

Dear Enzo Maresca, Please STOP making enemies with the Chelsea fan base. Please STOP picking fights with us. This will only ever end in one way. The biggest issue at Chelsea right now is that this squad his been built without balance, without leaders, without players with strong mentalities, and without quality experience. It’s that […]View the full article

For the first time in a long time, Chelsea conceded their own Champions League fate to other clubs around them. If they qualify for Champions League football this season now, it will be down to the clubs above them dropping points. It is no longer in our hands. Chelsea are currently in 6th place with […]View the full article

I believe this is actually similar to what we predicted not that long ago when we looked at the run in. And so far, those predictions are on course. So will they stay on course? If they do, Chelsea will end the season with 64 points, but will that be enough to secure Champions League […]View the full article

Chelsea is preparing to count on Enzo Fernandez as a key figure in their push for European football, with manager Enzo Maresca shaping his tactical plans around the Argentine midfielder. While Chelsea has experienced mixed results lately, Fernandez has remained one of the standout performers, gradually growing into his role after overcoming early season challenges […]View the full article

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has come out and spoken after The Blues 0-0 draw against Brentford on Sunday afternoon. Sanchez says that Chelsea ‘did a job’ against Brentford and he and his team mates ‘did all they had to do.’ ‘It was a difficult game,’ the Blues goalkeeper said. ‘We knew what Brentford were bringing, […]View the full article

I’ve seen many people giving up on Malo Gusto but personally I think we should be a bit more patient for now. Remember what happened with Marc Cucurella? Dude was getting booed by the Stamford Bridge fans and now he’s turned into some sort of cult hero with them. Gusto is currently going through the […]View the full article

So, Wesley Fofana is out for the rest of this season after undergoing surgery on his hamstring. Fofana’s injury history at Chelsea has been absolutely terrible and I do not think we can rely on him going forward. Chelsea must now prioritise buying a certain type of profile at centre back, and it has to […]View the full article

When it comes to getting Chelsea fans on side, they want to hear fighting talk. They want to hear about Chelsea standards of winning and competing. They want to hear that we are rising up again and here to challenge on all fronts. We have so far been hearing none of this from Maresca and […]View the full article

Over the last few days it has become even more clear that no matter which striker Chelsea go for in the summer, they will face real competition for any of the names we have seen linked. This is why Champions League football this season has become even more important. Although as I did report yesterday, […]View the full article

Super Frank Lampard has become the latest voice to take a shot at the way Chelsea are operating, or at least have operated. Whilst not a direct shot at the owners, Lampard’s words certainly seem to be a dig at how the club were operating when he was the interim manager. When Lampard was there […]View the full article

After two seasons of free spending, managerial changes and complete underachievement, Chelsea have finally settled under the Clearlake-Boehly regime, with Enzo Maresca at the helm. Despite a return to competing for continental places, the sheer amount of money spent on their team will need to eventually justify the price paid, in the return of silverware […]View the full article

I’ve seen the light people. I’ve never been fully convinced by Victor Osimhen and in all honesty, I will still recognise his flaws and have some concerns there. However, for how Chelsea play, Victor Osimhen should be our priority striker target for the summer. I don’t say that lightly either. People know I am a […]View the full article

Reece James scored a beautiful free kick for England last night to open the scoring in their eventual 3-0 win over Latvia in the World Cup qualifiers. James didn’t really celebrate the goal, which was puzzling to many because it was such a good goal to score. It wasn’t just us who were puzzled by […]View the full article

Jadon Sancho started life as a Chelsea player very well in his first few games, making a really positive impact. Most of us were pleased with how he was performing. But then his performances dropped off a cliff edge and recently he has been nothing more than very poor. The whole situation around his loan […]View the full article

As you will all know, I love to write a good opinion piece. But I also like to get different perspectives as well. And I often think it can be quite interesting to hear from those in the game who perhaps don’t support Chelsea to take away that emotional element that I always write with. […]View the full article

This season has been frustrating for most Chelsea fans, to say the least. These young players create plenty of chances, dominate possession, and regularly find themselves in goal-scoring positions—but the finishing just hasn’t been there. For a squad of 60 players valued at a billion, that’s a serious problem. All that possession, all those openings, […]View the full article

Christopher Nkunku has been a massive disappointment since he arrived at the club from RB Leipzig in 2023. Troy Deeney actually said something I agree with. And so did ESPN pundit Steve Nicol: “Christopher Nkunku was absolutely and utterly invisible. In fact, he’s been invisible since he went to Chelsea. At least [Pedro] Neto was […]View the full article

How hideous is it being forced to watch Robert Sanchez play as Chelsea’s number one every week? He was literally signed from Brighton as their BACKUP goalkeeper, even a third choice. How mad is that? When you think back to some of the world class goalkeepers we have had at this club, then look at […]View the full article
