Chelsea’s winter surge can set up great second half of the season

The Christmas period is always busy for football fans, and it can make or break your season. Recent years have seen Chelsea really struggle in December, and we've seen consecutive years where promising starts fell apart as the festive period got into gear. This year, things have been going so badly in the buildup to […]

Opinion: Pochettino must unleash Palmer, Madueke, Mudryk and Nkunku

I know I’m writing this in vain because I do not think for one minute that Mauricio Pochettino will lineup this way on Saturday. But I honestly think that if he doesn’t even think about lining up this way then he will 100% be missing a trick. Nicolas Jackson for me isn’t a number 9. […]

Chelsea can turn season around with big win on way to January reinforcements

Chelsea are finally out of their hardest run of fixtures of the season, and they've come directly into the Christmas period, where even easy games can become challenging simply due to the volume of matches. The last 10 years or so have seen us come unstuck time and time again in this period, so we're […]

Opinion: The one key thing Pochettino must do vs Wolves

Chelsea face Wolves away on Sunday afternoon in the 1pm kick off, and it’s a game that is really there to be attacked from the off and for Chelsea to go on the front foot. We have absolutely bossed our last two games, with 78% possession against Newcastle, and the same percentage against Sheffield United. […]

Opinion: How Pochettino should setup vs Sheff Utd with Palmer pivotal

We’ve had a needed week of no Chelsea games, but it’s time to think once again about our next match. The Blues welcome Sheffield United to Stamford Bridge on Saturday for the 3pm kick off in the Premier League. United are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table right now and have only […]

Chelsea – Newcastle EFL Cup quarter final: team lineups, tickets, steams and a chance for a semi

Things have not been great for Chelsea this season, to put it mildly. We're not in Europe and we're rooted to mid table in the league. We're looking down at the relegation zone more than up to the European places at the moment, despite a billion spent. Our one chance of glory remains in the […]

Opinion: Pochettino asking for new players opens up the wider issue

The first thing Mauricio Pochettino did after losing to Everton on Sunday was ask for more transfers, even though the club have spent close to £1billion on new players since they arrived at the club. And herby lays one of the many problems we are facing right now. Are they even in-sync at all? I’ve […]

Chelsea ready to turn the corner and race for Europe – do you believe?

Plenty of people like to bet on football, but very few actually make any money. The bookies are just too smart, and too well informed. You're certainly not going to beat them betting on things they know more about than you do. But if you've got a speciality - like say, Chelsea, you might just […]

Opinion: Pochettino’s refreshing comments on winning culture

‘Chelsea have a winning culture’ is a very true statement from recent history. Under Roman Abramovich, we had exactly that, winning trophies every single season and enjoying consistent and constant success. But as I wrote about a couple of weeks back now, this football club is not the same football club now under the new […]

Opinion: Chelsea’s ill-discipline needs to be tamed, but it’s a good thing

Conor Gallagher became the second Chelsea captain to get sent off in a row this weekend after a silly challenge on Billy Gilmour saw him get his second booking of the game. Chelsea are leading the way for yellow and red cards in the Premier League this season. We have seen multiple games of our […]

Boehly and Pochettino: a combination that works for Chelsea?

After the recent epic Chelsea and Man City draw at Stamford Bridge, TV pundit Jamie Carragher said something that resonated. "The best thing about Chelsea right now is Pochettino. It is not the players or the owners. It is the manager they have got." The rapid change in players at Chelsea since Todd Boehly took […]

Christopher Nkunku will feel like a new signing when he returns

French striker Christopher Nkunku is nearing his return to full training for Chelsea, and when he is cleared to play again, he is going to feel like a new signing for Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino. It will be a boost to the attacking options in his team. Chelsea summer signing Christopher Nkunku underwent knee surgery […]

Opinion: Chelsea vs Brighton: Early team news and predictions

Chelsea go again this Sunday when we welcome Brighton to Stamford Bridge. Brighton are our new arch enemies in this league and they absolutely HATE us (at least their fans do). So it’s a real grudge match and I am sure their fans will be in full voice full of entertaining chants in the direction […]

Opinion: Enzo, Caicedo, and Palmer will shine brightly for Chelsea

Twitter/X has become so wild now that I rarely browse it anymore. I go there to post articles and other stuff, obviously, because it keeps my profile up. But I rarely sit on there and browse it anymore, I just can’t do it to myself. We all get emotional, we all get angry - I […]
