Welcome home Super Frank!
Aarón Anselmino made a flying start to life at Borussia Dortmund, earning a standing ovation on his debut, just days after joining on loan from Chelsea at the end of the summer transfer window, and he’s continued to impress ever since with his “crusader spirit”, as his head coach, Niko Kovać put it recently. Unfortunately […]

1. REECE JAMES (8.1) Reecey started the comeback in the opening minutes of the second half, scoring with a most wonderful free kick to underline what was yet another excellent performance from the captain in both midfield and at right back (he switched to the latter position after Enzo replaced Malo Gusto). It’s the 10th […]

Liverpool have been devastated by injuries this season. Something that made their 1-1 draw to Chelsea Women a month ago even more surprising given the extreme lack of options that Gareth Taylor has at hand in challenges like a Blues side in title defence mode. Often criticised for conservative tactics, Sonia Bompastor took a great […]

Chelsea Women managed to get the League Cup back in their hands last season after three consecutive years of failure in the very last stage of the competition. Today they begin their title defence against Liverpool, a very annoying side despite their lack of form as shown by their 1-1 draw only a month ago […]

Over the past couple years, Chelsea have often embraced the “Game of Two Halves” cliché to a rather unhealthy degree, almost as a team identity. Whether under Mauricio Pochettino or Enzo Maresca, performance levels would swing wildly not only from game to game, but from half to half. Of course, this may be endemic to […]

Chelsea Women make their League Cup debut this season, taking on Liverpool away in the quarter-finals this Sunday. We finally got it back in our hands last term after three consecutive finals’ defeats, and there’s no room for complacency as the holders begin their defence against a side stretched thin but still dangerous on home […]

Well, this game started badly, and almost immediately it got much, much worse. Newcastle needed a response after their derby defeat last weekend against Sunderland, and respond they did. With the stadium rocking, they came out of the blocks at a million miles an hour and we just stood there doe-eyed waiting for the bright […]

Welcome to the weekend. The next few hours will determine whether it’s going to be a good one, or a not-so-good one. Come on you Blues! Enzo Maresca, as expected, has rotated back to a first-choice lineup after the midweek Cup game, and surprisingly, Enzo Fernandez does not get the start. Instead, it’s Reecey again […]

In what may be the most one-sided vote in the history of this exercise, the WAGNH Community have spoken almost literally as one in picking the lineup for today’s trip to St James’ Park. All eleven starters are well into the 80s for voting percentage, with seven reaching over 95 per cent consensus. If last […]

It’s an early kickoff on Tyneside today, which means that this game is going to start in just a few short hours! So let’s get to it. It’s fourth against twelfth, but Newcastle away is never not a daunting proposition. And it’s just the first of many daunting propositions awaiting us this holiday season, with […]

It’s the last fixture before the holiday rush as Chelsea travel north to the faraway lands of Newcastle upon Tyne, for a lunchtime joust against the local black and white stripes. Yes, it’s another Saturday lunchtime affair. Feels like we’ve had more than our fair share of these. We will arrive on the sails of […]

1. ALEJANDRO GARNACHO (8.0, sub) Second Man of the Match of the season for Garna, and like the first, it’s come in a League Cup match. Two goals in 45 minutes of work, doubling his tally for the season and his Chelsea career, and helping us reach the semifinals of this competition once again. It […]

It’s been an easy path for us so far in the League Cup, as we’ve reached the final four by playing two games against third division clubs (Lincoln City and Cardiff City) and one against the worst team in the Premier League (Wolverhampton Wanderers). However, things are about to get significantly more difficult now. In […]

Even with deep changes in their squad this summer Wolfsburg remain a very strong team, especially when playing at home. Chelsea Women are well aware of such a challenge even if the squad that once beat them at home in the UEFA Women’s Champions League nearly six years ago is also long gone. As expected […]

There’s only one way for Chelsea Women to leave their UEFA Women’s Champions League fate in their hands, which is beating Wolfsburg at the German side’s turf. We’ve done this once several years ago when the Wolves were the team to beat in Europe. While they haven’t been as powerful in current times, gone are […]

It’s the final group stage round of the 2025-26 season in the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Another situation in which a draw for Chelsea Women won’t suffice. The Blues must win this match if they want “smooth sailing” into the competition’s knockout rounds as they sit third in the league table, but with few points […]

Chelsea advanced to the League Cup semifinals with last night’s perfunctory 3-1 win over third-division Cardiff City, showing just enough bits of requisite quality in the second half to dispatch the opposition. It wasn’t pretty, and it was hardly entertaining, but it got the job done while giving some much needed rest to many. Enzo […]

A well rotated Chelsea lineup came out of the blocks as if they had never seen each other, let alone ever played together, making for a frustrating first 45 minutes of football. And at no point in the first half would we do anything to dissuade that notion, playing with no cohesion, zero quality, and […]

Welcome to the quarterfinals of the League Cup. Though we’re away, Chelsea got a favorable draw in facing the last lower-league side left in this competition. Cardiff sit atop the third division, but we are the firm favorites. This is an obvious opportunity to rotate, and Enzo Maresca has done just that — choosing (almost!) […]
