Chelsea 3-0 Wolves, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings

The game settled into its expected pattern almost from the first second, with Chelsea dominating possession and Wolves sitting back and absorbing pressure. And perhaps if we had managed to make some of our excellent movement and combinations count in the first 10-15 minutes, that would’ve turned into a less frustrating watch. Unfortunately, a couple […]

Chelsea vs. Wolves, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread

Chelsea can move up to at least third, and possibly second, with victory tonight, against bottom side Wolves, who are under interim management after the sacking of Vitor Pereira earlier this week. Watch out for the new manager bounce! Enzo Maresca has given the start to Liam Delap with João Pedro dropping to the No.10 […]

Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Wolves: Delap to start

Enzo Maresca’s rotation has been a focus of discussion over the past few days, but he’s expected to start the strongest available lineup today and that’s precisely what The WAGNH Community have voted to do as well. And there’s a strong consensus in today’s voting, with all eleven starters clocking in at 70% or higher, […]

Arsenal WFC 1-1 Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Post-match reaction

Unfortunately for us London now have another Champions League-winning team. By playing to their strength and not cowering in front of Barcelona’s might, as we often do when we face them, Arsenal Women snatched the trophy right in front of the Catalan juggernauts at the end of last season. The cost might have been a […]

Arsenal host Chelsea Women at the Emirates tomorrow in one of the biggest fixtures of the Women’s Super League calendar, a meeting that always carries the weight of more than just three points. The champions arrive unbeaten and already setting the pace at the top, while the Gunners are still searching for consistency in a […]

Chelsea vs. Wolves, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch

Chelsea’s search for consistent excellence took another stumble this week as we managed just a draw away to Qarabag in the Champions League, but we have an excellent opportunity to get back on track this weekend, as Wolerhampton wander into town. Wolves remain the only winless team in the league, sitting bottom with just two […]

How should Chelsea line up against Wolves, again?

It’s back to Premier League action this weekend, with Chelsea hosting Wolverhampton Wanderers for a bit of Saturday Night Football under the lights at Stamford Bridge. We just played Wolves in the League Cup, putting four past them, so hopefully we can do that once again even if they’re now under interim management following the […]

Cole Palmer, Enzo Maresca nominated for FIFA’s The Best awards

End of year awards season continues with the announcements of the nominees for FIFA’s “The Best” awards, now in their tenth edition and still as awkwardly named as ever. Since Chelsea did find success in both the UEFA Conference League and, more notably, the very first edition of the revamped FIFA Club World Cup, we […]

Qarabag 2-2 Chelsea, Champions League: Retro ratings

Since I got distracted and forgot to include a player ratings form on our post-match reaction thread, here’s one now. So it’s not quite on-the-whistle as usual, but hopefully the 36 hours of reflection haven’t changed your ratings too much (since the whole point is to gauge the immediate reactions). Vote away!

It ‘doesn’t look good’ for Roméo Lavia after latest injury

The best ability is availability, as they often say. Of course, they say a lot of things and just because they say it loud and they say it often, it doesn’t always make it true. But in this case, they are not completely wrong. Roméo Lavia’s time at Chelsea has been injury-hit, to say the […]

Qarabag 2-2 Chelsea, Champions League: Post-match reaction, ratings

Things began in somewhat inauspicious fashion, with Romeo Lavia picking up an(other) injury inside the first five minutes and having to make way for Moises Caicedo, whose day off was thus rudely interrupted. However, when Estevao opened the scoring not long after, with barely 15 minutes on the clock, at least it looked like the […]

Qarabag vs. Chelsea, Champions League: Game thread

Welcome to matchday four (of eight) in the league phase of the Champions League. Both teams come in with two wins from the first three games, though Chelsea should be favored in this matchup. Enzo Maresca was expected to rotate, and indeed, that’s what we’ve got — though it’s Robert Sánchez in goal and the […]

Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Qarabag: Rotation situation

I forgot to put Liam Delap on the voting form — his suspension was only the one game for domestic competitions — though it’s unclear how much he would’ve affected the outcome. He did collect a fair few write-in votes, but Marc Guiu dominated votes at the center forward easily. The rest of the lineup […]

Qarabag vs. Chelsea, Champions League: Preview, team news, how to watch

It’s a 5000-mile round trip, to go to Azerbaijan in search of our next three points in the Champions League, so we better make sure we do in fact return with all three. This Qarabag side, winners of two of their first three league phase matches, are not the Qarabag whom we beat 10-0 combined […]

How should Chelsea line up against Qarabag, away?

Last time Chelsea had to travel to play away in the farthest reaches of “Europe” (i.e. somewhere in the middle of Eurasia in Kazakhstan), we took not only the “B-team” but also a bunch of kids from the Academy, leaving most of the first-team back in London. But that was essentially a meaningless game in […]

Cole Palmer named in 2024-25 FIFPRO World XI

In a somewhat surprising development, Cole Palmer has been voted in to the FIFPRO World XI by his fellow professionals. It’s surprising a bit not because Palmer wasn’t and isn’t amazing, or deserving, but last season wasn’t even his best season for Chelsea! His first year, 2023-24 was better in just about every respect! But […]

Spurs 0-1 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Moisés Caicedo the ‘top best’

1. MOISÉS CAICEDO (9.2) Not only is Moisés Caicedo excellent and impactful just about every time we play, he tends to save his very best performances for the biggest games. That’s a most wonderful habit among all the other wonderful habits he has. Keep this up, and he will be mentioned in the same breath […]
