Wolves 3-4 Chelsea, League Cup: Post-match reaction
Wolves are in a very bad place, one in which is very difficult to find a way out without a massive overhaul from top to bottom. Their entire model seems to have reared its ugly head, with the little talent they had at their hands now gone to seemingly greener pastures. It wouldn’t take long […]
Wolves vs. Chelsea, League Cup: Live blog, highlights
Welcome to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, with Chelsea taking on Premier League-strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. Domestic cups may be our best opportunity for silverware this season, so despite the expectation rotation, we should be fully focused on getting through to the next round. Enzo Maresca has made all the promised changes […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Wolves: Full rotation ahead
Enzo Maresca made it pretty clear in his pre-match press conference that he will be looking to rotate his squad for this League Cup fourth round clash against a struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers side, and the WAGNH Community are in full agreement with those intentions. In fact, it is a full rotation from the voters, with […]
Wolves vs. Chelsea, League Cup: Preview, team news, how to watch
Two of Chelsea’s next four games are against Wolverhampton Wanderers; first, in the League Cup and then, about ten days later, in the Premier League. First away, then at home. Given Wolves massive struggles so far this season — just two wins in all competitions, both in the League Cup — that should be two […]
The Daily Hilario: Wednesday
Referees betting on matches?! Lol Hmm
How should Chelsea rotate and line up against Wolves in the League Cup?
After the disappointment of the weekend, Chelsea switch gears and hit the road, traveling up to Noni Madueke’s favorite place for a Wednesday night Carabao Cup clash against the locals. Unfortunately, Noni’s no longer here to put three past them, so someone else will have to step up. Who that someone might be is a […]

Hmm Own goal lol Verge
Cole Palmer nominated for 2025 FIFPro Men’s World XI
The finalists for this year’s FIFPro Men’s World XI have been announced, and among the 26 nominees is our very own Cole Palmer, flying the blue flag high among all the other names from PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona … and even Inter Miami and Al-Nassr because Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo appear to be eternal. […]

First 17th?! Hmm
Chelsea 1-2 Sunderland, Player Ratings: Probably should’ve kept him on
1. JOSH ACHEAMPONG (6.9) I’ve never seen a manager make more unprompted substitutions of center backs than I have seen from Enzo Maresca this season. And sure, maybe I’m just too set in the old ways and not hip to the new football. Maybe with five substitutions available these days, it’s inevitable that we’ll see […]
Enzo Maresca admits Chelsea simply ‘not good enough’ against Sunderland
Just when it looked like Chelsea were starting to build some positive momentum, we proceeded to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory (or at the very worst, a draw), dropping all three points at home against upstart newcomers Sunderland. We brought back the script that pleased no one, from last month against Brighton, […]

Lol Record Game’s the game
Chelsea 1-2 Sunderland, Premier League: Post-match reaction
It was a dream start for the Blues as Alejandro Garnacho fired a low ball through the legs of an excellent Robin Roefs in the fourth minute to get Stamford Bridge rocking. But the visitors had already fired a couple warning shots by then, and responded well to the goal by increasing their threat levels […]
Chelsea vs. Sunderland, Premier League: Live blog; highlights
It’s fifth versus (a surprising) seventh as we start the day, with both teams on 14 points from the first eight games and looking to go second at least temporarily with a win here today. Chelsea have won four in a row, Sunderland have lost just one of their last six. It’s the second best […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Sunderland: João Pedro and Marc Guiu together
Unlike for our last game, against Ajax Amsterdam, there’s quite a bit of clarity from the WAGNH Community about the lineup preference for today’s game, with only one of the starting XI clocking in at under 70 per cent. Somewhat surprisingly, that one player is young Estêvão, collecting “just” 63 per cent of the vote. […]
The Daily Hilario: Saturday
In debt Hmm First
Chelsea vs. Sunderland, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
Sunderland joined Leeds United and Burnley in earning promotion from the Championship last season, returning to the Premier League after an eight-year absence (parts of which spell were chronicled in the most excellent “Sunderland ’Til I Die” series, which everyone should watch). Surprisingly, it’s the Black Cats who are doing the best of the three […]
How should Chelsea line up against Sunderland to keep momentum building?
Chelsea made it four wins on the spin with Wednesday’s 5-1 romp against a rather poor Ajax Amsterdam, and now take on a rather surprising Sunderland side on Saturday to try to make it five in a row. The Black Cats barely made it out of the Championship last season, finishing fourth well off the […]
Chelsea 5-1 Ajax, Player Ratings: First Man of the Match for Estêvão
1. ESTÊVÃO The first of what will hopefully be many, many, many WAGNH Man of the Match awards for young Estêvão, who got to score his first Champions League goal thanks to a solid leadership move from Enzo Fernández, who gave the penalty to the youngster to take (that he had won in the first […]
Enzo Maresca happy to continue building Chelsea momentum with Ajax win
Enzo Maresca tends not to get too up or too down after games, preferring to keep an even keel as much as possible even if that means playing down victories and sugar-coating defeats, focusing on the larger picture, the underlying play, the emergent patterns. I suppose that’s a requirement of the job in a way; […]

Leaving Hmm Wow
Chelsea 5-1 Ajax Amsterdam, Champions League: Post-match reaction, ratings
A high-tempo beginning to the match saw Chelsea quickly establish control and begin to threaten the Ajax goal at every opportunity. Despite the well rotated lineup, the Blues were producing effective patterns of play and exciting endeavor down both wings. And then Ajax decided to press the self-destruct button. Their captain was sent off on […]
Chelsea vs. Ajax Amsterdam, Champions League: Confirmed lineups; how to watch
Welcome back to the Champions League. It’s matchday three, of eight, in this league phase, and tonight’s entertainment will be provided by the legendary Dutch side, Ajax Amsterdam. Ajax are still looking for their first goal, let alone their first win of this stage; let’s not give it to them! Enzo Maresca has gone for […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Ajax: Guiu and Estevao to lead the way
It feels like injury issues have been a constant problem for us, and not just this year, but stretching back several seasons now. Perhaps that’s just the new normal, given the lengthy seasons and jam-packed fixture lists. It’s probably something that all teams have to deal with it on some level; it just feels more […]
Chelsea vs. Ajax Amsterdam, Champions League: Preview, team news, how to watch
The Champions League anthem will play for the 200th time over Chelsea Football Club on Wednesday night, as we take on Ajax Amsterdam, one of the legends of this competition, appropriately enough — even if their glory days of the early ‘70s and the mid ‘90s are long gone. This will be match number three […]
