Atalanta vs. Chelsea, Champions League: Preview, team news, how to watch
It’s back to Champions League action for the Blues, where last time we recorded a delightful 3-0 win over Barcelona. Since then, things have taken a turn for the worse; in fact, we haven’t won since (though the 1-1 draw against Arsenal with just ten players felt like a win). This is match six of […]
Chelsea drawn against Charlton Athletic in FA Cup third round
Championship opposition await Chelsea in the third round of the FA Cup, on the second weekend of the new year (weekend of January 10), as The Blues were drawn against Charlton Athletic for our first match in this year’s edition of football’s oldest knockout competition. The draw was held last night, with our good pal […]

Fired? Only Lol
How should Moisés Caicedo and ten others line up against Atalanta for Chelsea?
Twenty three Chelsea players traveled to Bergamo on Monday, and eleven of them will be selected to start the match against Atalanta tomorrow night in the league phase of the Champions League. But actually, only ten of the eleven need to be decided. Moisés Caicedo is sure to start since he’s missed our last two […]

Lol Well What
AFC Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Bob saves a point
1. ROBERT SÁNCHEZ (7.6) This wasn’t quite the response, overall, that we were looking for after the defeat against Leeds United, but at least the defending wasn’t completely shambolic and we even managed to keep a clean sheet. Some of that was down to luck, and some of it was down to Bournemouth’s own failings, […]
Chelsea FCW 0-1 Everton FCW, Women’s Super League: Post-match reaction
You couldn’t complain about the way Chelsea Women started their match today against Everton at Kingsmeadow. From kick-off the hosts looked to get the game in a good pace, resulting in a Catarina Macario chance that nearly got us the lead six minutes into the encounter versus the Toffees. Unfortunately for us football is a […]
Chelsea FCW vs. Everton FCW, Women’s Super League: Lineups & Game Thread
A few slips in the Women’s Super League means Chelsea Women are in the unusual position of chasing after a league leader instead of leading the charge themselves. This means further pressure to not just keep our perfect record this season, but also win more matches like today’s against Everton at Kingsmeadow. Chelsea starting lineup:Peng […]
Chelsea FCW vs. Everton FCW, Women’s Super League: Preview, team news, how to watch
Chelsea Women return to Kingsmeadow this weekend looking to steady themselves after back-to-back 1–1 draws. Unbeaten they remain, but the rhythm has dipped, and with the league table tightening above and below, this is the kind of match where control and composure matter more than spectacle. Everton arrive in a difficult moment, sitting near the […]

Another one Highest Lol
AFC Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
It was a very messy start for the Blues, and Bournemouth had the ball in the back of the net in short order. Thankfully, Evanilson was leaning offside and thus Semenyo’s goal was ruled out. Chelsea didn’t settle right away and the home side continued to threaten. Eventually, we grew into the game and started […]
AFC Bournemouth vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to cold and stormy Dean Court, where Chelsea hope to bounce back from Wednesday’s poor defeat against Leeds United. Enzo Maresca’s expecting an equally tough game here, so we’re going to have to do a lot better than last time out. The head coach has made a few changes to help us achieve those […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Bournemouth: No striker needed?
After the disappointment of midweek, we’re going to need a lot better effort today against Bournemouth, if want to take all three points back with us to the Bridge. Presumably, that will involve as much of a first-choice starting lineup as possible given our busy fixture list, and it might even involve a start for […]

AFC Bournemouth vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
Bouncebackability is a made-up word — “all words are made up!” — often credited to Shakespeare Iain Dowie, who used it some twenty years ago when he was the manager at Crystal Palace. Of course, he didn’t actually invent it; he only made it popular. In any case, bouncebackability is the … ability to … […]
How should Chelsea line up against Bournemouth to avoid another ‘bad day’?
Enzo Maresca is expecting another tough challenge this weekend, away to Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon. We failed the tough challenge midweek thanks to a “bad day” against Leeds United at Elland Road. Can we avoid a similar fate tomorrow? It would be easy to blame rotation or tactical choices, but no one played well in […]
Reece James, Enzo Maresca nominated for Premier League Player, Manager of the Month
December may have begun in disastrous fashion — not for the first time in our history! — but that shouldn’t detract from how good November was for the Blues. We started with a win at New Three Point Lane against Spurs on the first, beat Wolves then Burnley on either side of the international break, […]
Leeds United 3-1 Chelsea, Player Ratings: No Moi, no Reece, all problems
1. PEDRO NETO (6.5, sub) Neto came on at half-time and immediately changed the game. On a better day, his goal starts an epic comeback from two goals down, with perhaps a winner arriving in the final 5-10 minutes to truly stick it to the locals. Alas, this was not one of our better days. […]

Maresca: ‘Nothing’ positive to take from ‘bad night’ against Leeds United
The danger of a letdown was always going to be high. After two highs, the low is almost inevitable. And sure enough, despite the warnings, despite the awareness, despite the rotation and fresh legs, we were indeed let down … and let down quite badly. It’s probably fair to say that no one played well […]

Combination First WHAT?!
Leeds United 3-1 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
The fear was always that this would be a massive letdown after the Barcelona and Arsenal games last week, and unfortunately that’s precisely how things panned out at Elland Road, an unhappy hunting grounds even in the best of times. Chelsea were off the pace from the opening whistle, and none of Enzo Maresca’s rotational […]
Leeds United vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to Elland Road, a place where we’ve not had much success historically. But Chelsea are in pretty good form, with some pretty good momentum, so perhaps we can change that today. Speaking of changes, Enzo Maresca has made a few after the exertions and dramatics of last week, with a very different-looking back four(?) […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Leeds United: Just a bit of rotation
After two high-effort, high-drama, high-emotion games, there’s every chance that today’s visit to Elland Road will result in a comedown and a letdown. It’s tough to keep up those levels, especially when the occasion is not nearly as grand. One way to combat this problem is through rotation, to keep legs and motivations fresh. Rotation […]
