Welcome home Super Frank!
Chelsea Women went into the three-week long winter break with a bang. Will we return with at least some pep in our step? Today’s opposition will be the second-to-last team in the Women’s Super League table. However given what the team just below them were able to do against us a few months ago, it’s […]

The first game of the Liam Rosenior era is in the books, and it’s certainly off to a good start with Chelsea romping to a 5-1 win at The Valley over Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup third round. It was a dominant performance from the Blues, right from the off, though we were made […]

Liam Rosenior’s first ever game for Chelsea is a cup match where a bad game can mean you’re out of the competition. No pressure! Given it was his debut it’d be understandable if Rosenior picked a relatively strong lineup just to make sure we make through to the FA Cup’s fourth round. Instead the new […]

Welcome to Chelsea’s first match under head coach Liam Rosenior. He’s talked a lot of good talk but as always… can he walk the walk? For this purpose the new boss decided to make some adjustments. Jorrel Hato gets a start in the backline, and so does Andrey Santos in midfield. Upfront Jamie Gittens and […]

This may be Liam Rosenior’s first match in charge, but with Chelsea having played last Wednesday (and lost against Fulham, 2-1) and set to play the first leg of the League Cup semifinal against Arsenal next Wednesday, he surely will rotate the squad and give minutes to some of our less often used players. At […]

It’s a new competition, with a new head coach. Will we see a new Chelsea? Probably not. These things take time, sometimes more, sometimes less. Things may not go great at first. Then again, things may also suddenly become amazing. How about a Cup treble, Liam? We begin this season’s FA Cup journey away to […]

Liam Rosenior’s first few days as Chelsea manager head coach have been fairly impressive, with the new head coach saying all the right things in various interviews and showing plenty of passion and energy in the training ground videos. Step one for the new head coach bounce complete! There are of course plenty of questions […]

Chelsea have given Liam Rosenior as soft of a landing as possible, as his first game in charge will be an FA Cup match against lower-league opposition. Unfortunately for Liam, that lower league is only the Championship and Charlton aren’t the worst team in it, and did recently take points off league-leaders (Frank Lampard’s) Coventry […]

Liam Rosenior’s coaching staff has been confirmed by Chelsea, and among those joining the new head coach is now-former U21 head coach Calum McFarlane, who had acted as interim head coach over the last two games, following the departure of Enzo Maresca. Chelsea got just one point out of those two games, but McFarlane proved […]

1. LIAM DELAP (6.7) With new head coach Liam Rosenior in attendance, this game was a literal audition for many, and we certainly showcased some of our familiar habits, both good and bad. Delap of course already worked with Rosenior, a couple years ago when they were both at Hull City, so he’s not a […]

Interim head coach Calum McFarlane was hoping to build on Sunday’s rousing 1-1 draw at the Etihad and hand the team off to new full-time head coach Liam Rosenior (who was in attendance last night) with good momentum, but yet another red card consigned the Blues to yet another poor result, losing 2-1 at Craven […]

There was hope Calum McFarlane would go back to his U21 head coach duties from his short caretaker stint with Chelsea’s first team with a bang. Fulham however are a tough team to face since Marco Silva took helm, especially at Craven Cottage. The name of the first half was Harry Wilson. The Welsh attacker […]

Second and last match under caretaker head coach Calum McFarlane, at least for this season. We wanted him to cook up a simple but savoury meal for us like he did against Manchester City last weekend, and he did so to the best of his abilities. Reece James and Estêvão are bench options. In turn […]

Liam Delap had one of his better performances in Chelsea Blue on Sunday, making a real nuisance of himself against Manchester City’s defenders, and getting under the skin of Rúben Dias especially. Delap clearly enjoys a bit of argy-bargy, though so far that’s mostly been to our detriment. Last time out, it helped us get […]

Chelsea’s new head coach, Liam Rosenior is expected to be in attendance but will not leading the team just yet as the Blues make the short trip down the road to Craven Cottage, to take on friendly rivals Fulham. Instead of Rosenior, it will be interim head coach Calum McFarlane calling the shots, and hopefully […]

Liam Rosenior has been announced as the new Chelsea head coach, but taking training yesterday and today, and still taking the game tomorrow will be interim head coach Calum McFarlane. The Chelsea U21 head coach got an excellent result away to Manchester City on Sunday, making a key tactical change at half time; can he […]

Enzo Maresca’s replacement has arrived, nearly as swiftly as the previous coach had departed. Liam Rosenior is in, having signed a 6.5-year contract — not that these contract lengths ever really mean anything — and will be taking charge of the team after the Fulham match on Wednesday. Rosenior had been in charge of our […]

1. ENZO FERNÁNDEZ (8.0) First Man of the Match of the season for Enzo, which is a bit surprising considering that he leads that team in goals scored (both he and João Pedro have seven, six in the league). Enzo is on track for his best goalscoring season yet: certainly a useful factor to have […]

Calum McFarlane will put his 100 per cent unbeaten record as Chelsea interim head coach to the test on Wednesday, with the news that he’s set to remain in charge of the first-team (at least) until then. As per reports, Liam Rosenior, the expected replacement for Enzo Maresca, was already in London on Monday, but […]
