The responsibility is with the whole team and the coaching staff is the first. To blame someone is to blame us, myself, but not him." Sanchez was caught in no man’s land, however, when Brentford hit their second goal in a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge - the first time any team has won their first three Premier League games at Chelsea: Pochettino: “Enzo and Mudryk felt something in training yesterday, small muscle injuries for them both.

  8. Who is Miles Leaburn? The prolific Charlton striker attracting Chelsea's interest https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/tag/newsnow-features-only/miles-leaburn-charlton-striker-Chelsea-transfer-profile Chelsea have become the latest club to register an interest in Miles Leaburn, who is fast taking the Football League by storm. Leaburn came through the academy at Chelsea but joined Charlton after being released as a 16-year-old and three years later, his former club are looking to make up for their mistake. Article continues under the video However, Chelsea will likely face competition for Leaburn’s signature, with the giant striker also wanted by Brentford and having been tracked by Aston Villa. SPECULATION: Blues plotting return of academy striker But just who is the teenager looking to make the rise up the divisions and make his way into the Premier League? What position does Miles Leaburn play? Leaburn is a right-footed striker, renowned for his stature at 6 foot 6 inches, making him a lethal target man for Charlton. How good is Miles Leaburn? Leaburn has had a low profile career so far, being released by Chelsea’s academy in 2019 to little fanfare and joining Charlton’s youth team in League One. However, it wasn’t until the opening day of last season when Leaburn made his debut for the Addicks aged 18, coming off the bench against Accrington Stanley and christening his first professional appearance with a goal. The son of former Charlton forward Carl, Leaburn went on to score 13 goals in all competitions as his side finished 10th in League One, with the youngster making 23 starts. His impressive record led to interest from Villa, prompting Charlton manager Dean Holden to say last season: “Miles is not for sale. He is a fantastic young player with lots to learn still.”
  9. Chelsea have only themselves to blame as Liverpool enjoy last laugh on Moises Caicedo transfer Liverpool arguably still need to sign a long-replacement for Fabinho but will have no regrets about missing out on Moises Caicedo to Chelsea https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/Chelsea-only-themselves-blame-liverpool-28002536 A penny for Moises Caicedo’s thoughts. At one point it looked like he would become Liverpool’s record signing this summer. Instead, the Ecuadorian and his agent toyed with the Reds, using their late interest to ensure his desired, drawn-out switch to Chelsea actually went through. In need of a new holding midfielder after Fabinho and Jordan Henderson’s unexpected moves to Saudi Arabia, Liverpool had an £111m bid accepted for Caceido by & Hove Albion and got us far as booking in a medical for the 21-year-old. But it soon became clear, despite calls with Jurgen Klopp, Stamford Bridge was his desired destination. Sure enough, he got his move as Chelsea belatedly agreed a deal worth up to £115m with the Seagulls. To rub salt in the Reds' wounds, the Londoners would then also beat them to the signing of alternative target Romeo Lavia, snapping the Belgium international up for £58m including add-ons from Southampton. Klopp was privately convinced that the Saints had overvalued the 19-year-old anyway. Consequently, Liverpool would make a surprise move for 30-year-old Japan captain Wataru Endo instead, signing him from VfB Stuttgart for £16.2m. Chelsea fans would rejoice, delighted at having seemingly won the transfer battle. Two and a half months later and they clearly didn’t win the war, with it proving to be the Reds who are enjoying the last laugh. Owner Todd Boehly might have spent over £1bn since taking over at Stamford Bridge last year, but Chelsea remain a mess. Mauricio Pochettino was appointed as manager in the summer in a bid to arrest flailing fortunes, after the Londoners, having got through three managers last season, finished the season in 12th. Now 10 games into the current Premier League campaign, and without the desired lucrative distractions of European football, they sit 11th in the table on 12 points. It is progress of sorts, I suppose. Winning just three league matches so far this season, Chelsea might have drawn at home to Liverpool and Arsenal, but they also lost at Stamford Bridge to Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa and, most recently, Brentford. Throw in a 3-1 defeat away at London rivals West Ham United and it is already proving to be another campaign to forget. In 2023, only Everton and AFC Bournemouth have recorded fewer points than Chelsea’s total of 32. They have played 33 matches, three more than Liverpool’s Merseyside neighbours, with it perfectly plausible that they would actually be bottom of the annual table after the same total of games played. To compile the misery, it will surely get worse for the Londoners before it gets better, with Pochettino’s side currently in a wretched run of daunting fixtures. Having drawn 2-2 at home to Arsenal, conceding a late equaliser, they travel to league-leaders Tottenham Hotspur and host Manchester City before the November international break. After that, a home meeting with Brighton is sandwiched between trips to Newcastle United and Manchester United. On paper, Saturday’s home clash with Brentford was by far the easiest match of this seven-game run, and yet they fell to another dismal defeat following another pathetic performance. Consequently, Caicedo’s dream move is already turning into something of a nightmare. Making eight Premier League appearances for Chelsea to date, starting seven, he’s conceded penalties, been at fault for goals, and been left unable to single-handedly boss midfield as he had repeatedly done so memorably for Brighton. Of course, he is not the only one to blame for the Londoners’ poor form. But that won’t stop Kopites smirking at his misfortune. Meanwhile, the fact that Lavia is yet to even make a matchday squad, let alone play, for Chelsea because of injury won’t be lost on those of a Reds persuasion either. Like Chelsea, Liverpool were a shadow of their former selves last season also. Failing to qualify for the Champions League, Klopp had no choice but to implement an £150m midfield overhaul with four summer signings as he conducted surgery on an ageing squad. Such a total could have perhaps stood at £246m or £195m if Caicedo or Lavia had opted for a move to Anfield over Stamford Bridge. For reference, Chelsea’s first-choice midfield pairing of the Ecuadorian and Enzo Fernandez cost a combined £221.8m, with the £106.8m signing of the Argentine from Benfica in January responsible for bumping up the prices of Caicedo, Lavia, and pretty much every other midfield transfer this summer. They have only themselves to blame. But it’s not as though the Reds are left regretting the pair’s rejections. They sit fourth in the table, after all, and have one foot in the Europa League knock-out stages courtesy of winning their first three games, with only controversial officiating away at Tottenham costing them an unbeaten record. Meanwhile, all four of their new midfield signings are already more than proving their worth. Dominik Szoboszlai has already established himself as a firm fan-favourite, while Alexis Mac Allister is proving to be a £35m bargain - even if he is yet to play in his preferred position. Endo is admittedly taking a little longer to adjust to English football but continues to take steps in the right direction, as demonstrated by his impressive performance, capped off with a goal, in Liverpool’s 5-1 thrashing of Toulouse on Thursday night. Meanwhile, Ryan Gravenberch is another to quickly win over the terraces and leave supporters salivating at his potential, as he makes up for lost time following a year predominantly spent on the sidelines at Bayern Munich. Yet for as impressive as the Reds’ midfield revamp has proven to be, one thing remains quietly missing. After all, Liverpool fans are in agreement on three things when it comes to assessing Mac Allister and his start to life at Anfield. Firstly and secondly, he’s a very good midfielder and one the Reds snapped up at a snip from Brighton after activating his £35m release clause. But as talented as the World Cup winner is, Kopites are yet to really see the best of him. A natural holding midfielder, he is not. Very much a square peg in a round hole, only time will tell if Endo will inherit the deeper position when fully up to speed with English football. Still, Mac Allister is still enjoying a more successful start to the season than his Argentina and former Brighton team-mates at Stamford Bridge. Admittedly, the prospect of Caicedo following Mac Allister from Brighton to Liverpool remains an intriguing one in hindsight. After all, he was wanted by Klopp to be first choice at Anfield, playing in a midfield trio with Szoboszlai and his Seagulls former team-mate. But with that record £111m bid accepted and a medical booked in, the Ecuadorian had other ideas. Digging his heels in to join Chelsea, it is easy to suggest that he chose poorly with the two clubs contrasting fortunes rubbing more salt in the wounds than any transfer rejection. Had Caicedo, or even Lavia, chosen Liverpool, they would have been first-choice for the Reds with Klopp’s next generation engine-room seemingly in place for years to come. Instead, the vacancy remains open. Regardless of who the German selects in the deeper role, they still appear to be a stop-gap only following Fabinho’s unexpected departure. Liverpool might have spent £150m on four new midfielders this summer, but there is a feeling that their revamp is not yet complete. Links with Andre Trindade continue, with Fluminense willing to sell the Brazil international in January, while Thiago is expected to leave Anfield at the end of his contract next summer. Consequently, there remains a possible midfield vacancy at Anfield, with Fabinho still not satisfactorily replaced. It’s not ideal but Mac Allister is only keeping the seat warm as the Reds’ holding midfielder. The Argentine is not the long-term answer, nor is the 30-year-old Endo, but Liverpool don’t intend either of them to be. Caicedo could have been, of course, but he made his choice. Even if it was one many were left bemused by at the time, never mind now, months down the line in hindsight. After all, these ongoing Stamford Bridge struggles are no surprise to onlookers after a free-for-all transfer strategy and managerial merry-go-round. As the Ecuadorian struggles for solutions of his own at an out of control Chelsea, the Reds have long since moved on. If you don’t want Liverpool, then they don’t want you. While the Londoners continue to collect players like stickers or trading cards rather than actually build a competitive team, Reds bosses take such rejections in their stride and will already be eyeing up alternative targets. There is always a method to their madness. ‘Winning the transfer market’ by any means necessary is all well and good but not if you don’t make it count on the pitch, as Boehly continues to find out to his club’s cost. Admittedly, deep down, few will realistically believe that Chelsea will remain mid-table fodder with an £115m flop in midfield for long. Sooner rather than later, things will click again at Stamford Bridge. But they are already playing catch-up on Klopp’s Reds. And if Chelsea aren’t careful, Liverpool’s eventual signing of a natural holding midfielder, at the third time of asking after being snubbed by both Caicedo and Lavia, will be enough to see them disappear into the distance. The Reds might be on a different path, for now, having had to take a brief detour following such rejections, but they will have no regrets. Whether Caicedo and Chelsea can claim the same in an over-populated, under-performing Stamford Bridge dressing room is a different matter entirely.
  10. Every word of Joe Cole's passionate defence of Mauricio Pochettino amid Chelsea rant Chelsea news as the former Blues star made his feelings very clear after the side's 2-0 loss to Brentford this afternoon https://www.football.london/Chelsea-fc/news/Chelsea-brentford-pochettino-joe-cole-28002273 Former Chelsea winger Joe Cole has slammed the club's 'structural weaknesses' and managerial commitments after their 2-0 loss to Brentford at Stamford Bridge. The Blues came into their second straight London derby unbeaten over their last four matches in all competitions, with a 2-2 draw against Arsenal last weekend a reminder that while there's a project of young players taking hold of the club, they could still give the best teams in the league a run for their money in what has been a difficult time for them. They started on the front foot once again, dominating possession throughout the first period but were unable to break the deadlock with Noni Madueke's curling left-foot effort that crashed onto the bar their best chance of the half. Despite Cole Palmer's quick feet and often magical passes, Marc Cucurella was unable to convert twice from close range as the Blues went into the break. In typical Blues fashion, it was Brentford who ended up with the opening goal, a cross from Bryan Mbeumo on the right-hand-side finding the head of defender Ethan Pinnock who arrived at the back post to blast one in from close range. Pochettino's men would go close once more as Palmer and youngster Deivid Washington were both unable to convert Ian Maatsen's cross which floated across the face of goal. With pressure on the Blues to get a result, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez came up for a 95th-minute corner in hopes of a dramatic equaliser but the ball was quickly snuffed out into the path of Neil Maupay who sprinted the length of the pitch and played a ball into Mbeumo who killed the game off. Following the full-time whistle, Cole launched into a passionate defence of Pochettino and attacked the club's new ownership and structure after admitting he was deflated by the result as a Blues supporter. Here's the full transcript of what Cole had to say after Chelsea's loss... READ MORE: Chelsea player ratings vs Brentford as Cole Palmer pulls the strings but Nicolas Jackson toils READ MORE: Chelsea press conference LIVE - Mauricio Pochettino on Fernandez, Brentford loss and Perez red "I actually feel quite sorry for Mauricio Pochettino. I felt sorry for Frank [Lampard], I felt sorry for [Graham] Potter and Thomas Tuchel because you come to this club as top managers and they came in at an unstable time," Cole told TNT Sports after full-time. "The new owners, they’ve come in and been in for a while now and one of their points has been ‘we want stability, continuity’. But it’s one thing saying it, and another actually achieving it. On the flip side, you’re changing managers at strange times, the planning on signing players isn’t being explained to the fans, or even the players and the staff so I feel sorry for the coaches. "Their heads could roll like the three before them. If you’re going to have these morals, these points that you live and die by as the Chelsea owner, ‘we’re going to have continuity’, ‘we’re going to go and buy young players’, then you’ve got to stick with the manager. You can’t just write them down on a bit of paper, have them painted on your training ground so you walk past it every day and tell them to the media. "I don’t know the structure, I know there’s three or four guys on recruitment, Todd Boehly has taken a back seat after last year, he’s never at the stadium anymore. The communication with the fans needs to be better, it’s not where it needs to be with the fans." Cole continued to pile on Boehly and company at the top of teh club, claiming that they're making it harder for Pochettino to do his job if there's no conversation with the supporters in the matter. He also touched on how they can help the Blues boss and his players out by opening those channels with fans which could ultimately make them play better on the pitch. "When Mauricio came in, I thought he was the perfect person to rebuild this team with. But he’ll always be viewed with that Tottenham history, especially with their slow start to the season, because fans are tribal and their instinct is to lash out and they’re lashing out at Pochettino. "Ultimately, he’s in there trying his best, the players are trying their best, but there’s something in the structure at the club that isn’t right yet. There’s no point in us coming on here and saying they need to play better - it’s down to the people at the top making much better decisions on recruitment, what we are as a club, and living those things - not just saying them and going away. "This is Chelsea, let’s get ourselves on the right path again, make sure we’re doing things correctly, explain what’s going on to the fans and it’ll start to calm down a bit. Then the players will be able to breathe on the pitch easier because they won’t be as nervous. Ultimately, those 11 players, 15, 16 whatever it is after your subs, they need to be confident and they need to feel like they’re part of something. "It’s got to come from the structure, and I do feel sorry for Mauricio, I do."

  12. ‘Let’s be honest’: Peter Crouch suggests 22-year-old Chelsea player isn’t good enough after Brentford loss https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/news/lets-be-honest-peter-crouch-suggests-22-year-old-Chelsea-player-isnt-good-enough-after-brentford-loss/ Peter Crouch suggests Nicolas Jackson doesn’t posses the quality to be Chelsea’s first-choice striker after watching his latest performance. Chelsea’s disappointment at Stamford Bridge continued on Saturday afternoon, suffering a 2-0 home loss against London rivals Brentford in the Premier League. Ethan Pinnock and Bryan Mbeumo netted second-half goals to gift the visitors all three points. The Blues now have just one victory in their last 13 league games at home, which is an alarming record for this team. Chelsea struggles Yes, Chelsea have scored a few goals recently and looked better going forward. It was the same old issue in attack that cropped up versus Brentford, though. Mauricio Pochettino’s side recorded 17 shots during Saturday’s match, but only two were on target. Nicolas Jackson was recalled to the starting line-up against Brentford to lead the line, but yet again he couldn’t find the killer touch in the opposition’s penalty box. The 22-year-old striker eventually saw his game fizzle out. Pundit Peter Crouch isn’t certain that the Senegal international is good enough for Chelsea moving forward. “Nicolas Jackson, let’s be honest, is not going to be the answer long-term. He does a lot of great work outside the box, but is he going to get you 15-20 goals? I don’t think so,” Crouch told TNT Sports 2 (3:10pm, 28 October). Nicolas Jackson wastes chance It certainly wasn’t the return to the starting line-up that Jackson will have hoped for. We agree that the young centre-forward does get into some clever positions. He’s got a decent work rate and desire, too. Unfortunately, he’s not fitting all the pieces of the jigsaw together right now when he’s in the penalty area. A recent report from The Daily Mail named Jackson as one of the Premier League’s worst signings of the summer. We still think that the striker has something to offer this squad moving forward, but there’s no disguising that the club may need to go invest more money to bring in a world-class No 9.

  17. No chance for Mudryk to leave Chelsea https://thedailybriefing.io/i/138325962/no-chance-for-mudryk-to-leave-Chelsea Mykhailo Mudryk is going to change his story at Chelsea for sure because we saw recently how well he's doing, scoring for Chelsea and the Ukrainian national team. More than that, he's very happy in London now, in his personal life and has settled down. This is really important for a young player coming from a different country. I also wanted to clarify about Mudryk’s situation in the summer guys. When some clubs started to approach Chelsea over the possibility of maybe finding a way to sign him after a difficult six months at the club, the answer was always the same from the board and the manager. They were all together to protect, support and back the player. It was never the case that Chelsea would let the player leave in the summer or in any other moment. They trusted Mudryk then, they still trust him now and Chelsea think that we are still not saying the best of him. It will take time of course but the club believe he is going to be a big star in the future.
  18. Tottenham could land Santiago Giménez for a €45m bargain fee https://thedailybriefing.io/i/138325962/tottenham-could-land-santiago-gimenez-for-a-m-bargain-fee Let me start by mentioning what's going on around Santiago Giménez, the Mexican striker who had a fantastic Champions League debut against Lazio, scoring a brace. He’s scored 15 goals in the last nine games with Feyenoord too, so this boy is a real goal machine. Last season he decided to stay at Feyenoord and sign a new deal, and now he's performing at a top level again with Arne Slot as manager, but what I wanted to clarify guys is that many of you have been asking me about Giménez to Tottenham or Real Madrid because of the words apparently said by someone close to the player in an interview. What I can tell you after speaking to direct sources is Santiago Giménez has no agent or intermediary, there is no one taking care of his business other than his father - it’s important to verify that. From what I'm hearing, something around €45m could be the right fee to get a deal done, so let's see if that’s in the January window or in the summer. Tottenham scouts have been following the player since last year and surely he’s interesting for them - but also for many other clubs around Europe. This is why decisions will be made in the next month but, at the moment, no statement from the player’s father on this.
  19. Feyenoord https://thedailybriefing.io/i/138276295/feyenoord Santiago Gimenez again on fire for Feyenoord this season! He has scored 15 goals in his last 9 games! He got a brace last night on his Champions League debut - he now has a total of 15 goals and three assists this season.
