Welcome home Super Frank!
Chelsea have won five of the six games under Liam Rosenior, including the last four in a row, with the last two of those coming away from home. That matches our longest winning streak of the season. Now we have a great chance to extend that winning run as we return to the Bridge, where […]

1. JOÃO PEDRO (9.1) It’s been a bit of an inconsistent season for JP, who made a big splash in the summer when he signed during the Club World Cup (3 goals in 3 games), carried that form into the start of the season (two goals and three assists in his first four league games), […]

It’s been a quiet January at Chelsea for the past 29 days, and it’s likely that it will be a quiet January for a couple more days, until the transfer window slams shut on Monday night … which actually will be the second day of February! So technically we could have a very quiet January, […]

Since coming in, Liam Rosenior made it a point to not try to change too many things tactically from what Enzo Maresca had been doing with Chelsea. The new head coach spoke in reverence of Maresca’s setup, which aligned with the BlueCo principles that Rosenior himself had been aligning to at RC Strasbourg. And seeing […]

Chelsea’s experimental lineup made a positive enough start to the game, and we would get our reward with an early goal. Juan Jesus blocked a free kick with his arm, and though the commentary painted it as an unfortunate incident, the defender literally moved his arm towards the ball to block it. Since he was […]

Welcome to the match 8 of 8 in the league phase of this year’s Champions League. Chelsea are assured of a top-24 finish and thus a place in the knockout rounds, but if we win today (and other results go in our favor as well), we can still finish in the top-8 and get to […]

Raheem Sterling’s Chelsea exile is over. And so is his time at Chelsea. The club have agreed a buyout of the 31-year-old’s contract, which had 18 months still left on it. This is similar to the deal we struck with Ross Barkley a few years ago. Terms of the buyout are confidential, but according to […]

There’s a potential spot in the top-eight up for grabs in tonight’s showdown against Antonio Conte’s Napoli, a game that Liam Rosenior called “huge” the other day. Chelsea’s spot in the knockout rounds is already assured, but we can skip the Round of 32 by finishing among the eight best and thus immediately advancing to […]

After seven rounds in the “league phase” (née “group stage”) of the Champions League, only two teams are guaranteed to finish in the top eight and automatically advance to the Round of 16, Arsenal and Bayern Munich. That means six spots are still up for grabs to get to skip the first knockout round. Chelsea […]

Despite a couple disappointing results, Chelsea still have a chance of finishing in the top eight of the Champions League “league-phase” table, which would earn us a bye, and take us straight into the Round of 16. We’re already assured of a playoff spot after last week’s win over Pafos, but we can skip two […]

Last week, Chelsea were linked with Douglas Luiz, currently on loan from Juventus at Nottingham Forest, but it looks like the 27-year-old midfielder will be heading back to Aston Villa instead (also on loan, with an option to make it permanent). And that’s perfectly fine. Since leaving Villa a couple years ago, Luiz has struggled […]

1. ESTÊVÃO (8.4) Estêvão has five (5) Man of the Match awards in his last ten (10) starts. Maybe he should start more often! 2. JOÃO PEDRO (7.7) Team-leading ninth goal of the season for JP, which means he’s now just one away from a fourth successive season with double-digits goals in all competitions. Is […]

Axel Disasi’s six-month paid (yet involuntary) vacation may soon be over, with the 27-year-old defender hoping to find a club that will let him go back to work in the second half of the season. That club won’t be Chelsea, despite his recent reintegration into first-team training, but it could be West Ham United. According […]

Chelsea have beaten several other top-tier teams to the signing of Yisa Alao, a 17-year-old left back from Sheffield Wednesday. Alao has signed just a two-year contract, which is quite short given the usual contract lengths of other signings, but is limited by his age (players under the age of 18 are not allowed to […]

Chelsea put together one of our best and most complete overall performances Sunday afternoon at Selhurst Park, dispatching Crystal Palace by a score of 3-1 and climbing back up into the top-five European spots in the table. Granted, Palace are in an absolute tailspin at the moment and have become one of the worst teams […]

Chelsea look set to possibly reinforce our center back options with the recall of Aarón Anselmino from Borussia Dortmund, as per an exclusive this evening from The Athletic. The report stops short of claiming that Anselmino’s about to join the first-team, with Chelsea still “evaluating the centre-back market”, but surely we would not be bringing […]

It was a fairly high tempo yet ultimately quite low quality first half at Selhurst Park, with very few chances at either end, but with Chelsea taking a 1-0 lead into the break thanks to an individual effort from Estêvão, who seized upon an errant backpass to run at goal from the halfway line, hold […]

Welcome to Selhurst Park where a struggling Crystal Palace lie in wait. Chelsea have had great success against Palace in recent years, so hopefully that continues today. Unfortunately, it looks like Cole Palmer was not passed fit for the game. Estêvão does start, and that’s fun. Interestingly (mildly), it’s Teddy Sharman-Lowe serving as backup goalkeeper, […]

Chelsea have a huge game coming up midweek, away against Napoli in the Champions League, but that’s no reason to overlook the more immediate task at hand. Three points are an absolute must today against Crystal Palace (and perhaps even more so than on Wednesday) as we look to remain in the thick of the […]
