Welcome home Super Frank!
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 […]
Chelsea interim head coach Calum McFarlane was taking his first ever game in senior professional football last night at the Etihad. Opposite him, Pep Guardiola, arguably the greatest working manager, was taking his 1011th. But by the end of the night, they were shaking hands as equals, with Chelsea taking a rather unlikely point back […]
Tension Resilient First
For all intents and purposes, Pep Guardiola’s tenure at Manchester City looks to be in its final stage. A strange spell where despite winning 14 trophies including six Premier League titles and a Champions League (and counting!) in ten seasons (and maybe counting), it feels as if more could be done by him and his […]
First (and only?) match under caretaker head coach Calum McFarlane. Let’s see how far we can go in this one! We wanted to have some fun, and the young boss decided to go along with it. Young Josh Acheampong is in the mix, and so is Estêvão upfront. Robert Sánchez however is not involved, likely […]
There’s now a better than 50 per cent chance that we’re going to have snow during tonight’s match, so if nothing else, we get to have some fun, right? It’s a free hit for the Blues, with no manager and no expectations of a result against title contenders Manchester City. The remit for interim head […]
First time Most Wow
Chelsea seem intent on blowing up not just our own season, but the season of our sister club, RC Strasbourg as well, as we seem set to appoint Liam Rosenior as our new head coach, replacing Enzo Maresca, who had had enough of this sideshow and rang in the new year as a free man. […]
New month, new year, new head coach … new Chelsea? Enzo Maresca’s out, Liam Rosenior’s (soon) in. For now, U21s boss Calum McFarlane and his staff are in temporary charge, but that’s just for this weekend. It looks like Rosenior will be making the move from RC Strasbourg soon after. But changing managers is always […]
Hmm Set What
RC Strasbourg head coach Liam Rosenior was the immediate frontrunner to replace Enzo Maresca, making the jump up from our BlueCo sister club, and it sounds like the expected outcome will be reached sooner than later … perhaps quite a lot sooner than later. This of course always seemed like it might be the long-term […]
As if we didn’t have enough drama going on off the pitch, this weekend we also travel up north to the cold and the wind and maybe the snow, to take on a Manchester City team trying to keep Arsenal and a title fight within their sights. To further complicate matters, we will be doing […]
Enzo Maresca has disappeared in a cloud of smoke like Houdini, and in his stead, with (almost) his entire staff gone as well, we’ve got U21 head coach Calum McFarlane and his crew taking charge this weekend. (The one confirmed holdover is, of course, set piece coach Bernardo Cueva. Most be because of our tremendous […]
Here we go Keen First
Enzo Maresca’s swift exit has left Chelsea managerless for the trip to Manchester City this weekend, and even before we figure out who will be the next man in the firing line charge, we need to figure out who takes over in the interim until then. While unconfirmed right now, it looks like the person […]
1. ESTÊVÃO (8.1) There was a bright spark to this game at times, certainly in the first half, and that spark was mostly thanks to young Estêvão, who started for the first time in nearly a month. He was instrumental in getting us back to level terms, winning the penalty that Cole Palmer converted, and […]
The start of a brand new calendar year is the time of new resolutions and new beginnings, but often those are just performative, symbolic gestures. Nothing empty about this decision however! Enzo Maresca has decided to leave Chelsea Football Club with immediate effect. His position at the club may have been under increasing pressure, but […]
It’s a new year and, apparently, soon a brand new era at Chelsea, with manager Enzo Maresca ‘expected’ to be leaving the club today. Maresca is still officially in charge as we speak, but the relationship between him and the higher-ups has evidently reached its breaking point. That he’s leaving on his own terms is […]
Hmm Second Sad days ahead
The one thing we needed Chelsea to avoid today was their Robin Hood syndrome. Yet it looked like we were an out of sync Santa Claus out there with Bournemouth finding some gifts under the Bridge in the early minutes of tonight’s game. Soon our worries turned into reality. David Brooks broke away from marking […]
Bad form has struck both Chelsea and Bournemouth, with the latter not even knowing what a good result is for a while longer than the Blues. Both are looking to close out 2025 with a win to set a good tune once we turn to the next year. It’s an interesting setup for us with […]
Chelsea head into tonight’s game against AFC Bournemouth low on vibes and even lower on the number of fit left backs in the squad. As thing stand, we have exactly zero fit players of the left back persuasion, which means that someone less ideal for the task will have to fill in. Malo Gusto did […]
December is the month where things either make or break for Premier League teams. This year, we might as well ask if Chelsea have been broken beyond repair. A single league win in five matches burned out all the “fat” that made us dream of seeing the gap finally closing between ourselves and the top […]
