Opinion: Conor Gallagher is the complete player

Conor Gallagher is a complete player and he has been brilliant this season so far. His performances for Crystal Palace are proof of his growing quality. If he continues to play like he did in the first third of this season, there is no doubt that he will play at Stamford Bridge next season. Chelsea […]

Opinion: Hakim Ziyech deserves credit, but inconsistencies are frustrating

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 […]

Pulisic unlucky to miss out as Thomas Tuchel’s selection of Ziyech and Werner backfires

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 […]

Opinion: Options to cover Ben Chilwell at left wing back

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. This is horrible for Chilwell first and foremost, having been through a very up and down season so […]

Opinion: Juventus weren’t bad, Chelsea were world class and every team will fear them

Chelsea will be the team that every single club in the Champions League will be hoping to avoid and fearing in the knockout stages, make no mistake. Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea are the most in form team in world football right now as they sit comfortably on top of the Premier League table, and now also […]

Opinion: Reece James consistently topping power rankings shows his clear rise to the top

Every young player can always improve, I totally get that, and agree. We should not overhype players too much, another sentiment that I get the point of. However, for a player like Reece James, it does not matter what you, me, or anyone else in the world says, he is rising to the top of […]

Opinion: Chelsea not only produce quality in their academy, they produce maturity and character

As I sit here and watch another Chelsea academy graduate speak on a press conference ahead of playing a Champions League match against Juventus, I not only ponder just how much quality our academy is bringing through, but I also note just how good their attitudes are collectively. Every player that comes through Chelsea’s academy […]

Opinion: Where next for Frank Lampard after turning down Norwich City vacancy?

Chelsea legend Frank Lampard looked set for a return to Premier League management following the sacking of Norwich City boss Daniel Farke. Lampard was immediately installed as one of the bookmakers’ favourites for the role and reports suggested he had been offered the Carrow Road vacancy. However, within hours of those stories breaking, Lampard asked […]

Chelsea 2021-22 Season – The month that was and the road ahead (December 2021)

Let’s put it on the table from the start, Chelsea have enjoyed a strong opening to the season and have firmly placed themselves in the box seat in the race for the title. After 11 games played, the Blues have won 8, drawn 2 and lost once – 1-0 to the reigning Premier League (PL) […]

Opinion: Chelsea and Antonio Rudiger must both meet halfway or move on

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. First of all I was insistent that Chelsea must pay whatever Rudiger wants, he is a quality defender and one of our best performers […]

Opinion: Levi Colwill watching centre back situation with interest

Chelsea have got themselves into a rather sticky situation as we frantically head towards January. The club could end up having four of their current regular defenders being able to agree a pre-contracts to join another clubs in January, midway through the current season. That is FAR from ideal to say the least, and there […]

Opinion: Callum Hudson-Odoi is mature enough to make own England U21 decisions

It seems to be a debate that has popped up amongst online sites again over the last couple of days, the ‘should Callum Hudson-Odoi have gone with the England U21 squad’ thing again. It appears that the talk has begun again after the success of Conor Gallagher, Hudson-Odoi’s Chelsea team mate who got switched from […]

Opinion: Moving Hakim Ziyech in January and replacing him would be a very wise move

Things have just not worked out for Hakim Ziyech at Chelsea since his arrival from Ajax a couple of seasons ago. He has struggled with a few injuries and other things that have set him back, but the bottom line for me is he just doesn’t seem to be suited to Premier League football; he […]

Opinion: Lampard being close to Norwich is fantastic news for Chelsea

Frank Lampard is close to being confirmed as the new Norwich City manager, according to my own sources.

Opinion: Is Eden Hazard still good enough for Chelsea?

We will be forever grateful for everything that Eden Hazard did for Chelsea. When he announced that he wanted to leave and fulfil his dream of becoming a Real Madrid player it was simply heart-breaking, but somehow we understood him. He played 352 games during his spell at Stamford Bridge, scored 110 goals, and made […]

Opinion: Chelsea must do everything to avoid defenders agreeing pre-contracts to leave in January

You’re all well aware of the situation at Chelsea right now, we have four defenders with contracts running out at the end of June as things stand. This situation is far from ideal as it is, but what will make it much much worse and what Chelsea need to do all they can to avoid […]

Opinion: Reece James has been unleashed in advanced role

Thomas Tuchel describes his full backs as more wingers than defenders, and when watching them play you can see why. Although Tuchel on the whole has made Chelsea a very solid team and difficult to score against, the role of wing backs in his system are predominantly more about attacking than they are defending, especially […]

We are facing yet another international break right around the corner after the next round of Premier League games.

N’Golo Kante is world class, but he has also become rather injury-prone in recent seasons, those are both facts. Chelsea always look better when Kante is on the pitch and make no mistake, this is in no way saying that we don’t need Kante in our team, because we absolutely do. There is no other […]
