Chelsea haven’t exactly gotten off to a flying start under Frank Lampard, and have only managed a point out of their first two matches. But there has been many encouraging signs, including our performance against Liverpool, and even spells against Manchester United despite losing 4-0. There’s certainly no need to panic. Even less so after […]View the full article

I’m not […]View the full article

I don’t like to dwell on things, and I’m already content with moving on from the Super Cup defeat to Liverpool last night. After all, Chelsea played well and deserved more. However, if UEFA are playing by THEIR own rules, then the penultimate penalty that saw Liverpool win the Cup on the night, should have […]View the full article

Tammy Abraham missed the penultimate penalty for Chelsea on Wednesday evening, seeing them lose to Liverpool in the UEFA Super Cup Final. It was disappointing to see some bad reactions and anger thrown towards Abraham from a small minority of Chelsea fans after the match. Let’s make one thing clear – if it wasn’t for […]View the full article

Mason Mount did not start against Liverpool tonight, but when he came on he provided the exact kind of attacking force we are coming to expect from the young midfielder. He is two footed and can hit the ball well. He is nippy enough to run and break lines with quick runs. He reads the […]View the full article

Chelsea face Liverpool this evening in the Super Cup Final, and for Chelsea, they needn’t be overly concerned on picking up the trophy.

Pedro has been speaking ahead of the game against Liverpool in the UEFA Super Cup tonight, and the experienced attacker is full of praise for the opposition’s defensive star Virgil Van Dijk.

Billy Gilmour has been included in Chelsea’s squad to face Liverpool in the Super Cup Final this evening, as reported by Oliver Hardbord of Football London. Understand Billy Gilmour missing off the initial Chelsea squad list was just an error, so some potential for him to feature tomorrow. Would expect the more senior players to […]View the full article

The Super Cup final tonight is only the second game of Frank Lampard’s managerial reign, but already there is some serious weight on it.

Antonio Rudiger is very close to returning from injury, and Chelsea are considering bringing his return forward, according to The Daily Mail. It’s easy to become desperate for Rudiger’s return, because Chelsea have been leaking goals, and Kurt Zouma had a nightmare opening day performance against Manchester United. However, there are two reasons why we […]View the full article

David Luiz joined Arsenal this summer, creating a vacancy for the vice-captain position at Chelsea. Cesar Azpilicueta looks certain to be keeping the armband as the first point of call, but who will take charge in his absence now Luiz has left? Willian? One of the more senior players with Chelsea longevity, and also holds […]View the full article

Many fans hoped to see Christian Pulisic in Chelsea’s starting lineup against Manchester United, but they were left disappointed as Frank Lampard selected a line of Ross Barkley, Mason Mount and Pedro behind Tammy Abraham.

Chelsea’s defeat against Man United was comprehensive, seeing the team lose out 4-0 to the Red Devils at Old Trafford, but there were plenty of good signs too, especially in midfield.

Plenty of people are pointing to Cesar Azpilicueta’s performance at the weekend and saying that the Spaniard’s time in the team is up, and that his performances are so bad that he should be replaced by Reece James. Simon Phillips who writes for this site, said so this morning. There is no doubt Azpi was […]View the full article

Chelsea were given a true beating by Man United on Sunday afternoon, reminding Blues fans that they’ve got a long season ahead of them in all likelihood.

Ask any Chelsea supporter who they have the most affection for at the club, many will reply with Cesar Azpilicueta. In fact, the man who fans call ‘Dave’, would certainly be one of the first names on my lips in response to that question. You cannot help but adore him, his passion, and his attitude […]View the full article

It’s easy to criticise players after a heavy defeat, and it’s often a trend to base opinions on immediate reaction, known as being reactionary. However, there is one player who some feel is under rated at Chelsea, whom I’d go as far to say is actually over rated. This isn’t a reactionary opinion either, I […]View the full article

Chelsea suffered a bad defeat against Manchester United, and despite the clear defensive deficiencies that lead to the team conceding so many goals, there were just as many issues in attack.
