Tomorrow see’s the turn of a new year, and more importantly the turn of a new decade. Chelsea will start the new decade away at Brighton tomorrow, and to show how much things have changed, Frank Lampard started the last decade as a key Chelsea player, now he is leading them as a manager in […]
Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates in a game that saw the Blues put in a dire performance for 35 minutes, before gradually forcing their way back into the match. Despite scoring two in two minutes to turn the game round, Frank Lampard will know the problems with this team are as clear as […]
I’ll start this by saying that this season personally, challenging for and gaining top four would have been a good season when I was asked at the start of the season. The facts… Frank Lampard joined Chelsea having never managed in the Premier League before, and only having one season as a Manager full stop. […]
It is obvious to me, a 19-year old receiving abuse online (and yes that also means those ridiculous red crosses over his picture) for playing poorly, is only going to make him play poorer and with no confidence as a result! It really does beckon belief that anyone in their right mind who is a […]
Chelsea have lost another home game against a weak team, a really worrying defeat that has just become the latest in a series of almost identical losses. It’s hard to start with explaining where things went wrong for Chelsea, who once again couldn’t create chances for long periods, and had several players fail to perform […]
We’ve reached the busiest point in the football calendar, and Frank Lampard’s press conference today should have been spent looking forward to the upcoming game against Southampton, which kicks off in just two days time. Instead he spent much of his time in the Cobham press room this afternoon looking back at the debris of […]
Chelsea’s win over Tottenham had every kind of drama possible crammed into a Sunday evening. It ended with racist abuse towards a Chelsea player, and along the way there were objects thrown from the crowd, red cards for violent conduct, some quite astonishing goalkeeping decisions and a stunning goal from Willian. The excitement began long […]
With the January transfer window just around the corner, and Chelsea set to be able to sign players again after a year out of the market, it’s no surprise to see rumours starting to heat up again. One of the notions flying around this week was that we might sign Victor Osimhen of Lille. The […]
It is getting ever closer to the return of Ruben Loftus-Cheek to the field of play, wearing that famous royal blue shirt once again. He has not played since the start of last summer, after rupturing his achilles in a pointless match. Without going into that too much, let’s hope lessons were harshly learned there. […]
Chelsea have been relentlessly linked with Nathan Ake in recent weeks as the January transfer window gets closer, and there’s definitely logic to the rumour. We haven’t been good enough defensively at all this season, and Ake is an experienced Premier League defender, one who came through our academy, and one whom we have a […]
Chelsea more than a week between last Saturday’s home humiliation at the hands of Bournemouth and this Sunday’s massive clash with Tottenham Hotspur, meaning Frank Lampard has a long time to stew over a serious tactical dilemma. His team are struggling, quite seriously now, having lost three of what should have been among the easiest […]
There is a fond place in the hearts of all Chelsea fans for former player Arjen Robben. Far from a Chelsea legend, but appreciated all the same by Blues supporters who grew used to watching his trademark style of play, a style of play that would become famous around the world and see him go […]
Chelsea have drawn Bayern Munich in the Champions League last 16, a tough draw by anyone’s standards. But it could also be a lot worse. Finishing second in the group meant we only had tricky teams to face regardless, and if it wasn’t Bayern it would almost certainly have been Juventus or Barcelona. The only […]
Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge today was the latest in a run of defeats against some of the weakest and most out of form sides in the league. After stunning losses to West Ham and Everton, both mid-slide down the table, Frank Lampard’s team followed up with an even more spectacular loss […]
Fresh from their 2-1 victory over Lille, which confirmed their passage to the round of 16 of the Champions League, Chelsea are purring. Currently in the top four of the Premier League, the Blues have gone under the radar at the back end of 2019 and, with best free bet clubs, have certainly earned their […]
Chelsea have been heavily linked with signing both Bournemouth’s Nathan Ake, and Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha in the January transfer window. Links that have grown over this week and now see the majority of the main UK media sources reporting it, including the latest one this week via The Guardian. It feels like both deals […]
This isn’t the article we wanted to write for you today. By the time of writing – which is very late on Thursday, December 6th – we were hoping to have heard whether the Court of Arbitration had overturned Chelsea’s transfer ban. If they had, we would be able to buy players as of the […]
Chelsea have been linked to making a move for Crystal Palace striker Wilfried Zaha for some time now and most major UK media outlets are reporting it, including this one from The Telegraph. The most common reaction from Chelsea supporters appears to be negative regarding the possibility of Zaha joining them. Many are against the […]
Chelsea met Aston Villa knowing they were on a two-game losing streak at the Premier League level, and on a three-game losing run in all competitions. Therefore, winning here was absolutely mandatory for Frank Lampard’s men. The Blues made true of being favourites in the football betting tips and stopped the losing skid in front […]
There is a full slate of Premier League fixtures this week, with juicy games and surprises expected up and down the country as we enter the notoriously tricky Christmas period. Anyone looking for Chelsea tips for their bets this week would do well to pay attention to Aston Villa’s form this season. This is no […]
Tammy Abraham has been a regular starter for Chelsea this season and he’s also been a regular goalscorer, notching up 11 goals for The Blues across all competitions so far. He has been playing so well that his two backup options Michy Batshuayi and Olivier Giroud cannot get a look in, with the latter now […]Frank Lampard suffered a stuttering start to life as Chelsea manager. The Blues stumbled out of the blocks this season and a less than convincing opening few weeks to the campaign saw the Londoners suffer a similar fate to the likes of Man Utd and Tottenham who stuck out in midtable. Some fans feared the […]
If ever a list featuring all of Chelsea’s all-time greats is made, then defender César Azpilicueta’s name will certainly feature in the top five. The Spaniard has enjoyed a stellar career at Stamford Bridge. He joined the club in 2012 (from Marseille) and rose through the ranks to become one of Chelsea’s most reliable defenders. […]
The cracks in the almost flawless Man City side of the previous season are beginning to show. Sides have been able to identify Pep Guardiola’s Achilles Heel with some frequency. First it was minions Norwich City, followed by the Wolves at the Etihad and last week it was the current arch enemy, Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp’s […]
The Premier League doesn’t like not being the centre of attention, so it was no surprise to see the eyes of the world returning to the English game in the middle of the international break, for the truly sensational unveiling of Jose Mourinho at Tottenham. Our game at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium is coming up […]
Michy Batshuayi’s Chelsea career has been nothing short of stuttering since arriving from Marseille in 2016. The 26-year old has failed to nail down a regular starting place at the club and as a result, has spent time away on loan at Borussia Dortmund, Valencia and Crystal Palace. The love-able character has once again started […]Chelsea picked up the pace after the not-so-great start of the season. The club won its last six matches in the Premier League and still has the chance to enter the final stages of the UEFA Champions League. The holiday season is famous for tight schedules and many games to play. What matches are crucial […]
Chelsea head into one of the busiest periods of the season aiming to maintain their place amongst the leading teams in the Premier League. Eight wins and two draws in their opening 12 matches has fired the Blues up to third in the standings, eight points behind leaders Liverpool. Frank Lampard’s side will now embark […]
Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has recently come back from a long term achilles injury that came along when he was just starting to show the true worth of his potential. The Blues academy graduate had earned a regular place under Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea, and he was delivering the goods and justifying being picked. He […]
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard could find himself fairly busy during this January’s transfer window, in a situation that could unfold over the next couple of months. Chelsea are due at the Court of Arbitration for Sport on November the 20th, and will be hoping to have their transfer ban overturned in order to sign players […]
Being a Chelsea fan I have grown used to fans of other clubs, pundits and people in football generally disliking our club over recent years. Since Roman Abramovich arrived and pumped a load of cash into the club, Chelsea started bringing in world class talent from all around the globe, and became one of the […]Chelsea had one of the craziest games in recent memory against Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday night. From 4-1 down in the second half, the Blues showed the mental strength that has come to define them of late and ended up snatching a draw. They now host Crystal Palace tomorrow and look to […]
Chelsea are still recovering from an emphatic match against Ajax on Tuesday evening, an eight goal thriller that saw them come back from 4-1 down just after half time, to draw the match 4-4. There will be a lot of heavy legs in training this week, but preparation has started for their next match on […]
Mason Mount limped off with an ankle injury in Chelsea’s 4-4 draw with Ajax last night in the Champions League. Although Frank Lampard hoped that it was nothing serious, The Independent have reported that Mount will go for a scan and is likely to miss the next round of England matches on the international break. […]With Frank Lampard’s team earning their 5th Premier League win in a row, Chelsea’s good form continued last night with a win over Watford at Vicarage Road. That run, stretching back to the loss to Liverpool at the end of September, has seen a number of players step up and carry the team in different […]
As winds ravaged the turf in Watford from the very first minute, both teams knew that they were in for a sluggish 90 minutes of football. Goals from Abraham and Pulisic proved that Chelsea weren’t even slightly hungover from their loss to Manchester United in the Carabao, while Gerard Deulofeu’s penalty late in the game […]
We’re into November now, and Chelsea are entering into the busiest part of their season. The next few months will define the success of Frank Lampard’s debut campaign, and a first step on that road is the home game against Ajax in the Champions League. After losing the first game in the group, Chelsea bounced […]
Chelsea have a number of injury issues in the squad right now, but none more crucial than at the left back spot. Emerson has been injured for many weeks now and has suffered another set back. Regarding #Emerson's continued absence from #cfc squad…after hearing a fortnight ago that he was being lined up to return […]
When you talk about essential players at Chelsea you will probably head toward the likes of N’Golo Kante, Jorginho, and cases for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi. But for some odd reason, Mateo Kovacic will often get overlooked. For me, Kovacic is just as essential to that Chelsea team now as Jorginho and […]
The Frank Lampard regime is finally setting in, and already the future at Stamford Bridge looks a lot brighter than many would have anticipated after the opening day defeat at Old Trafford. The Blues could sustain their place in the top four with a win this weekend, and should results also go their way then […]Chelsea won their seventh game in a row yesterday, the latest impressive performance in a run that has seen them beat teams in Europe and in the Premier League, home and away. The whole team has been excellent through that period – you don’t pick up a record like that by chance – and everybody […]
Frank Lampard has selection headaches all over the pitch right now with in form players and returning injured players staking claims for a start. It’s a great problem to have for the manager and something that the top sides need in the shape of strength in depth. But how do you keep all these players […]Chelsea take on Newcastle this weekend in the Premier League, and it’s hard to not forsee a thrilling game. There’s three points at stake in what should be a brilliant atmosphere at Stamford Bridge. If you have a free bet,and you’re going to use it on this game, back goals. It’s what anyone who has […]
Chelsea return to action against Newcastle this weekend in the Premier League after a long and boring international break, but it’s next Wendesday against Ajax that a lot of fans are looking forward to. It’s not just the convenient trip across the channel for some beers and sightseeing that people are excited about – the […]
I’ve started to see it creep into conversations where people are comparing the mentality of Christian Pulisic to that of Alvaro Morata. Simply, this is not the case. Pulisic was seen head in hands and in tears after being substituted midway through the second half for United States eventual 2-0 defeat against Canada, and he […]
With Lampard at the helm, Giroud’s role at the club has slipped to third choice striker, thanks largely to the emergence of Tammy Abraham. Frank’s emphasis on youth does not bode well for the French strikers’ chances of breaking back into the team, and now US sportsbooks are expecting Giroud to move to the MLS. […]It has been a great start to the season for Frank Lampard and his young Chelsea side. The players that are involved on a weekly basis for the club now have got fans back on side following the disillusion that came with the style of play by former manager Maurizio Sarri. His departure to Juventus […]
Prior to the start of the season, it was mixed reviews as to how successful the season would be for Chelsea. This followed on from Sarri leaving the club, on top of the transfer ban in place at present. Frank Lampard has now taken over and has continued to offer opportunity to youth players. This […]
The injuries are stacking up for Chelsea and they could well be without key centre midfielders N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic, after both picked up issues whilst on international duty. Kante is struggling this season with injuries and will probably need to be fully rested before coming back into the fold. Whilst the extend of […]
Chelsea head to Newcastle this weekend to play the Magpies after an international break that has taken its toll. N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Andreas Christensen are among the first team players to have picked up knocks, as well as Reece James from second string. It’s unclear how bad any of these problems are, and […]
