Opinion: Potter can help himself with team selections alone

Things are very rough for at Chelsea right now, but he can certainly be doing all he can to help himself with team selections, something I don't feel he has really been doing lately. Potter has continued to surprise us by persisting with consistent under performers and average players who have been poor for years, […]

Opinion: Why so many Chelsea fans are ready for Graham Potter’s exit

I never like to claim I speak for all Chelsea fans - I absolutely do not. So I'd also like to say that of course, there will be some fans who do not feel this way still. Disclaimer over, let's get down to business. I’ve continued to try and keep my faith in the project, […]

Chelsea in for an ugly battle against refreshed Leeds

There's an old rule in gambling - you won't make much money betting on the favourite. You'll pick up small wins, and when the favourite loses (which happens more than you think), you'll lose all your winnings and then some. Anyone who has been betting on Chelsea this season might well be broke by this […]

Opinion: Chelsea must remember leadership balance this summer

I really believe in the importance of experience and leadership, and that is why I think we should be a little bit flexible in our recruitment going forward. But also, experience and leadership does not always mean a player in their early 30s. I think balance is very important, as always. Just look at Thiago […]

Opinion: Chelsea fans might well need their tin hats too

Graham Potter has reportedly been told to get his tin hat out ready for the storms, but Chelsea fans might well need to find a tin hat as well, to get through the turbulent times we are facing! I must admit I had to laugh when I saw Matt Law’s second Telegraph article of the […]

How to be optimistic about Chelsea despite the terrible results

Chelsea's cursed season continues to roll on - and despite the all time low in terms of results (one win in 9 games), you can't help but feel some optimism around. Compared to 6 weeks ago, when we were both losing every week and also had a flimsy squad ravaged by injury, things look much […]

Champions League tie looks set to be decisive for Potter – if he makes it that far

Graham Potter's reign as Chelsea manager feels like it's hanging by a threat. In fact, it feels like that thread should have been cut after yesterday's loss to Southampton. The coach is still clinging on however, and now that the dust has settled on his latest embarrassing loss, it seems he's going to get another […]

Opinion: Looking ahead to Dortmund

Chelsea face Borussia Dortmund in the last 16 of the Champions League this evening in leg one. It presents Chelsea with a rather pressure-free chance if you like, to put in a good performance and hopefully come away with a good result to bring back to Stamford Bridge. I say pressure-free, but with our social […]

Opinion: UCL represents fresh Chelsea hopes

The Chelsea fanbase appears to be very split right now. Many of them are calling for the manager to be sacked, whilst many are asking for patience. The bottom line is, Chelsea have only won two league games in thirteen, and that really isn't good enough. But on the other end of that, you simply […]

Opinion: Chelsea could have answer for lack of goals

Chelsea have lacked goals and goal scorers recently, that has been clear to see. And some even debate that we lack a true number nine, especially with the Pierre Emerick Aubameyang situation. And to be honest, it is a a bit of a concern. Fabrizio Romano addressed it perfectly this morning really. “I think it’s […]

Opinion: Christopher Nkunku position preference stumps up Chelsea issue

RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku is expected to be joining Chelsea in the summer. Despite not having any official confirmation by either club yet, every top source has stated that he will be a Chelsea player come the summer. It's the worst kept secret in football, perhaps? https://twitter.com/talkchelsea/status/1595273664685015040 We have seen some quotes from the […]

Opinion: The destructive situations of Aubameyang and Ziyech

It might not even be through any fault of the players themselves (it definetely wasn't the fault of Ziyech), but the destructive situations of Hakim Ziyech and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang last week and the last few days is bound to have a negative effect on the team and in the camp. We had the Hakim […]

Opinion: Enzo makes Chelsea debut on Friday night

Obviously before we get into this one, it will all be dependent if his paperwork is put through in time as to whether Enzo Fernandez makes his Chelsea debut tomorrow evening against Fulham. But I don't personally foresee any problems with that. We’ve had a short break, and it’s been ideal really as the end […]
