Chelsea ‘want to win so much’, but sabotage own efforts once again

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 […]

Fulham 2-1 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction

There was hope Calum McFarlane would go back to his U21 head coach duties from his short caretaker stint with Chelsea’s first team with a bang. Fulham however are a tough team to face since Marco Silva took helm, especially at Craven Cottage. The name of the first half was Harry Wilson. The Welsh attacker […]

Fulham vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread

Second and last match under caretaker head coach Calum McFarlane, at least for this season. We wanted him to cook up a simple but savoury meal for us like he did against Manchester City last weekend, and he did so to the best of his abilities. Reece James and Estêvão are bench options. In turn […]

Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Fulham: Delap wins the crowd

Liam Delap had one of his better performances in Chelsea Blue on Sunday, making a real nuisance of himself against Manchester City’s defenders, and getting under the skin of Rúben Dias especially. Delap clearly enjoys a bit of argy-bargy, though so far that’s mostly been to our detriment. Last time out, it helped us get […]

How should still-interim Chelsea line up against Fulham?

Liam Rosenior has been announced as the new Chelsea head coach, but taking training yesterday and today, and still taking the game tomorrow will be interim head coach Calum McFarlane. The Chelsea U21 head coach got an excellent result away to Manchester City on Sunday, making a key tactical change at half time; can he […]

Official: Chelsea appoint Liam Rosenior as new head coach

Enzo Maresca’s replacement has arrived, nearly as swiftly as the previous coach had departed. Liam Rosenior is in, having signed a 6.5-year contract — not that these contract lengths ever really mean anything — and will be taking charge of the team after the Fulham match on Wednesday. Rosenior had been in charge of our […]

Manchester City 1-1 Chelsea, Player Ratings: The Enzo we need

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 to remain in charge of Chelsea against Fulham as well — report

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 […]

Calum McFarlane ‘very proud’ of Chelsea players’ character in Manchester City draw

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 […]

Manchester City 1-1 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction

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 […]

Manchester City vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread

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 […]

Manchester City vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch

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 […]

Liam Rosenior plays down speculation, but Chelsea move reportedly ‘imminent’

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 […]

How should interim Chelsea line up against Manchester City?

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 […]

Calum McFarlane just happy to be here, at this ‘brilliant’ and ‘amazing’ club

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 […]
