Welcome home Super Frank!
It’s fair to say that neither Liam Delap nor young Estêvão Willian have been first-choice players this season, in part due to injuries, but Delap seems to be finding his feet finally and we all want to see Estêvão play more, so it’s perhaps not surprising that the WAGNH Community have chosen both of them […]

Liam Rosenior became the first new Chelsea head coach in a decade, since Antonio Conte, to win his first competitive match in charge, as we beat second division Charlton Athletic, 5-1 in the FA Cup last weekendTos. A remarkable statistic, that, strength of opposition aside, accomplishing something that Maurizio Sarri, Frank Lampard, Thomas Tuchel, Graham […]

In his pre-match press conference, Liam Rosenior was not able to categorically confirm or deny whether Cole Palmer, Reece James, or Malo Gusto would be fit for this game, but considering that they only missed the weekend’s FA Cup match because of precautionary, load-management concerns, it’s probably safe to assume that they will be available […]

Liam Rosenior has made it pretty clear that he intends to be not just a(nother) head coach at Chelsea, but a winning head coach at Chelsea, and ahead of one of the biggest games of the season, he’s re-emphasized that notion. Make no mistake about it! “I’d love to be here for six years or […]

Chelsea made light work of Charlton Athletic in the third round of the FA Cup — certainly in the second half — and thus were in the hat for the fourth draw that was conducted earlier tonight. And wouldn’t you know it, the mischievous football gods gifted us a matchup with some extra narrative delights, […]

1. JORREL HATO (7.7) It’s been a rough first few months in Chelsea blue for young Jorrel Hato, but this could be the turning point for him. It’s safe to say that this game was his best for us yet, and not just because he scored the goal that broke the dam. And what a […]

Chelsea Women’s opposition today, West Ham, are not in a good place this season. Sitting second-to-last in the Women’s Super League with five points recorded in 11 matches, they used the winter break to shake things up by hiring former Juventus and Inter Milan head coach, Rita Guarino. A new manager can help bring that […]

Chelsea Women remain some points and several goals away from Manchester City in the Women’s Super League title race. It’s a lot of ground to make up in 11 matches. But nothing is impossible for this Blues team. On the opposite side we have a West Ham struggling for results under a new head coach […]

Chelsea Women went into the three-week long winter break with a bang. Will we return with at least some pep in our step? Today’s opposition will be the second-to-last team in the Women’s Super League table. However given what the team just below them were able to do against us a few months ago, it’s […]

The first game of the Liam Rosenior era is in the books, and it’s certainly off to a good start with Chelsea romping to a 5-1 win at The Valley over Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup third round. It was a dominant performance from the Blues, right from the off, though we were made […]

Liam Rosenior’s first ever game for Chelsea is a cup match where a bad game can mean you’re out of the competition. No pressure! Given it was his debut it’d be understandable if Rosenior picked a relatively strong lineup just to make sure we make through to the FA Cup’s fourth round. Instead the new […]

Welcome to Chelsea’s first match under head coach Liam Rosenior. He’s talked a lot of good talk but as always… can he walk the walk? For this purpose the new boss decided to make some adjustments. Jorrel Hato gets a start in the backline, and so does Andrey Santos in midfield. Upfront Jamie Gittens and […]

This may be Liam Rosenior’s first match in charge, but with Chelsea having played last Wednesday (and lost against Fulham, 2-1) and set to play the first leg of the League Cup semifinal against Arsenal next Wednesday, he surely will rotate the squad and give minutes to some of our less often used players. At […]

It’s a new competition, with a new head coach. Will we see a new Chelsea? Probably not. These things take time, sometimes more, sometimes less. Things may not go great at first. Then again, things may also suddenly become amazing. How about a Cup treble, Liam? We begin this season’s FA Cup journey away to […]

Liam Rosenior’s first few days as Chelsea manager head coach have been fairly impressive, with the new head coach saying all the right things in various interviews and showing plenty of passion and energy in the training ground videos. Step one for the new head coach bounce complete! There are of course plenty of questions […]

Chelsea have given Liam Rosenior as soft of a landing as possible, as his first game in charge will be an FA Cup match against lower-league opposition. Unfortunately for Liam, that lower league is only the Championship and Charlton aren’t the worst team in it, and did recently take points off league-leaders (Frank Lampard’s) Coventry […]

Liam Rosenior’s coaching staff has been confirmed by Chelsea, and among those joining the new head coach is now-former U21 head coach Calum McFarlane, who had acted as interim head coach over the last two games, following the departure of Enzo Maresca. Chelsea got just one point out of those two games, but McFarlane proved […]

1. LIAM DELAP (6.7) With new head coach Liam Rosenior in attendance, this game was a literal audition for many, and we certainly showcased some of our familiar habits, both good and bad. Delap of course already worked with Rosenior, a couple years ago when they were both at Hull City, so he’s not a […]

Interim head coach Calum McFarlane was hoping to build on Sunday’s rousing 1-1 draw at the Etihad and hand the team off to new full-time head coach Liam Rosenior (who was in attendance last night) with good momentum, but yet another red card consigned the Blues to yet another poor result, losing 2-1 at Craven […]
