Chelsea 2-0 Everton, Player Ratings: Muy Bueno Gusto
1. MALO GUSTO (8.5) Not only was this Gusto’s first player ratings podium finish of the season, it is his first Man of the Match under Enzo Maresca. That’s a bit surprising, given Maresca’s propensity for shoehorning Gusto into the lineup at just about any position other than goalkeeper, but the (still very) young right […]
Brighton & Hove Albion WFC 0-3 Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Post-match reaction
There wasn’t complexity in Brighton’s approach to the match at Broadfield Stadium today, as they hosted Chelsea Women in a Women’s Super League clash. It all boiled down to hunkering down and enduring as much pressure as possible, looking for a loose ball that could be within their reach in midfield so they can try […]
Brighton & Hove Albion WFC vs. Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Lineups & Game Thread
Chelsea Women have gone beyond proving their real mettle since that bitter loss to Everton at Kingsmeadow last weekend, sending AS Roma packing at Stamford Bridge with ease in an UEFA Women’s Champions League match. But clearly this season the Women’s Super League is an entirely different beast. One with matches like today’s against Brighton […]
Enzo Maresca strikes back with ‘very important’ win against Everton
Enzo Maresca must have been feeling the heat a bit, after going without a win in four straight, matching his longest winless streak as Chelsea manager. Maybe not from his superiors, at least not directly, or even from the fans. And certainly not from his players … which would leave the media at large. You’re […]

Broken Unpaid Confirmed
Brighton & Hove Albion WFC vs. Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Preview, team news, how to watch
Time to go back to domestic action, with Chelsea Women taking on Brighton away in the Women’s Super League. We desperately need a victory to get back within grasping range of current league leaders Manchester City, and the Seagulls will be eager to try to double our trouble in the competition. Date / Time: Sunday, December […]
Chelsea 2-0 Everton, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
If we were looking for Chelsea to respond to Tuesday’s defeat, and the four-match unbeaten run, we would not have been too happy with the opening exchanges of this game. Neither side were putting a strong foot forward, though perhaps the visitors were posing a bit more danger, through the twinkling feet of Iliman Ndiaye […]
Chelsea vs. Everton, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
It’s fifth versus seventh, with out of form Chelsea taking on in-form Everton. The visitors have won four out of five. Chelsea have failed to win any of our last four in all competitions. Everton have not won at the Bridge for 30 years. Enzo Maresca has made a couple changes from midweek, as Cole […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Everton: Palmer and Estêvão together
Enzo Maresca has played down the idea of playing both Cole Palmer and Estêvão together, at least from the start of a game, but with Palmer having been injured most of the season, that’s not really a decision that has had to be even made thus far. (They’ve started just one game together, our 2-1 […]

Hmm Keen Involved
Chelsea vs. Everton, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
“Let’s make things right, together,” says Cole Palmer in his Instagram story the night before Chelsea take on Everton, back at Stamford Bridge after three straight away, two of which we lost in quite disappointing fashion. In fact, it is now four without a win, matching the longest streak of Enzo Maresca’s tenure as Blues […]
How should Chelsea line up against Evertont to get back on the winning track?
With Tuesday’s 2-1 defeat to Atalanta in the Champions League, Enzo Maresca has equaled his longest winless streak as Chelsea manager. Though one of these four games felt like a win — getting a draw against Arsenal despite playing a man down for over an hour — it’s now two draws and two defeats since […]

Too easy Highest Hmm
Atalanta 2-1 Chelsea, Player Ratings: More minutes for Acheampong please
1. JOSH ACHEAMPONG (6.9) As with all our recent games during this four-game slide, only one or two players have managed to emerge with any credit from this performance, and this time that distinction belongs to young Josh Acheampong, who was finally given some proper minutes … and wouldn’t you know it, he again responded […]

Liam Delap to be out ‘no longer than four weeks’ with shoulder injury — report
Liam Delap was Chelsea’s first signing of the summer transfer window as the club moved quickly to address what was seen as a primary area of weakness last season, striker. João Pedro soon followed, with Nicolas Jackson hitting the old dusty trail on (at least for now). But things have not gone quite as we […]
Chelsea FCW 6-0 AS Roma Femminile, UEFA Women’s Champions League: Post-match reaction
After their first ever defeat of the season, you would expect Chelsea Women to come all guns blazing into a match like today’s. But they didn’t really need it. Soon they were dominating possession and taking chances at goal, with Roma rarely ever threatening Livia Peng’s dominion. No wonder what should have happened against Everton […]
Chelsea FCW vs. AS Roma Femminile, UEFA Women’s Champions League: Confirmed lineups; how to watch
Rarely do Chelsea Women face situations in which they must win a match because winning is ingrained in them. Today is one of those rare occasions where a win is a must. We are relatively safe in the UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage table but we can’t say the same about our morale. We […]
Chelsea FCW vs. AS Roma Femminile, UEFA Women’s Champions League: Preview, team news, how to watch
With their loss to Everton in the Women’s Super League last weekend, the dream of a truly unbeaten season for Chelsea Women has come to an end. It might be the “punch” we need to get back on the winning track as we host Italian outfit AS Roma at Stamford Bridge on a night of […]
Maresca: ‘We lost a little bit the control of the game’
Chelsea made it four on the spin without a win, losing 2-1 in the Champions League to midtable Serie A side Atalanta last night. The Blues took the lead in the first half but were unable to make that count, making it just one win in our last five away games in all competitions. All […]

Highest Hardest? Hmm
Atalanta 2-1 Chelsea, Champions League: Post-match reaction, ratings
The home side started the game with great purpose and intent, buoyed by the constant din of the drums and chanting from the stands, and they almost took the lead inside of the first 5-6 minutes, with Ademola Looman especially looking dangerous. We survived that initial salvo and the following 10-15 minutes as well — […]
Atalanta vs. Chelsea, Champions League: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to matchday six of eight in the league phase of the Champions League. Chelsea currently sit seventh in the table; the top eight advance directly to the Round of 16. But the big question is which Chelsea will show up tonight? The one who dominated Chelsea and went toe-to-toe with Arsenal despite being a […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Atalanta: Caicedo plus ten
About 2.5 (two and a half) per cent of voters did not pick Moisés Caicedo to start this game, which is a weird choice considering that Moi has been sitting on his thumbs for well over a week now, since his sending off against Arsenal. He’s still suspended for one more game in the Premier […]
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 […]
