Back with a bang

Hey guys

Hope you're doing well
Sorry for being AWOL for so long.Had a lot of things to take of but now I'm back

So far Chelsea have been up and down this season. Losing to Man City was one thing but losing to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park is another.And this is the same team that couldn't score goals at all. Really unacceptable from the Blues on Saturday. At this rate Chelsea can forget about the title and fight for 3rd and 4th along with Liverpool,Arsenal and Spurs.

Reason I say that is because there is no depth in the squad.Without Morata and Kanté,Chelsea are toothless,thankfully Morata will be back for the AS Roma game tomorrow night.Kanté its early November if I'm correct and that will be against Man Utd at Stamford Bridge (reunion with our former manager Jose Mourinho and ex players Juan Mata & Nemanja Matic). We'll need all the help we can get if we want to get any points against a high flying and so far undefeated Man Utd.

Another reason is Antonio Conte's tactical naivety. Usually Italian coaches are the best in the world tactically,like Ancelotti,Sacchi in the 80s and 90s,Lippi,Spalletti etc but really Mr Conte needs to use other players in the Chelsea squad.Willian is good but lately he's been poor.Why not start Charly Musonda instead?He looks hungry and able to play against the big boys. Also why arent Rudiger and Christiansen in the starting XI? They're an upgrade on often susceptible duo of Cahill and David Luiz.

Hopefully tomorrow, the coach will ring the changes, with Watford to come on Saturday (who actually beat Arsenal and are playing quite good football so it won't be a walk in the park. Chelsea do have on paper winnable games but if they arent won then we'll fall behind in the title race.Already 9 points behind Man City.

So please Chelsea,start playing better football, otherwise Mr Conte could be sacked by Christmas

Yours sincerely

A concerned Chelsea fan

Chelsea v Everton:Kai Havertz impresses in crucial win for the Blues

Image
 Good evening everyone I hope you are well and having a good start to the week. Sorry for the radio silence. It has been a busy couple of weeks, but I'm back now. After winning at Anfield against Liverpool on Thursday night, Chelsea earned a much needed win against Merseyside team Everton on Monday night. The victory puts the Blues in touching distance of Leicester City (3 points) and Manchester United (4 points). So thats 9 games unbeaten in the league for Thomas Tuchel, who has definitely turned things around at Stamford Bridge since his arrival in January.  One  of the positive elements on Monday night was the performance of Kai Havertz. The big money signing from Bayer Leverkusen has flattered to deceive this season but the arrival of the German tactician has definitely improved his performances. Despite not scoring (well his goal was awarded as a Ben Godfrey own goal), he played really well as a false 9 along with fellow countryman Werner, who could have scored a hat...

Champions League: What a week of drama

Image
  Copyright fr.uefa.com Good afternoon everyone I hope you are all well and enjoying the last few weeks of the summer holidays,albeit in difficult circumstances. So the UEFA Champions League made its return 2 weeks ago with 2nd leg ties that still  needed to be played like Chelsea v Bayern Munich, Lyon v Juventus and Manchester City v Real Madrid and boy were there surprises with Lyon making it past the Italian Champions despite a 2-1 defeat and of course the end of Maurizio Sarri's tenure as head coach. Bayern Munich and Man City qualifying werent really shocks as the damage was done in the 1st leg, at least for Chelsea but thats not the exciting part.So for the first time ever 2 French teams in the semis and PSG's first semi final appearance since 1995.  Last Wednesday saw PSG come from behind to defeat Atlanta 2-1 with Marquinhos and Choupo-Moting gettting the goals. Credit to the French champions for digging in deep and not giving up. Now they have a semi final date w...

Chelsea v Southampton: 2 points dropped by the Blues

Image
 Good afternoon everyone  I hope you're well and had a good weekend. So what a dramatic weekend of football we had starting with the Merseyside derby and it continued with Chelsea-Southampton which finished 3-3 after the Saints managed to grab a point at the death thanks to Vestergaard. Once again Chelsea fail to kill off a match and this will cost them dearly come end of the season. Where do I begin? oh yes the defence. With Mendy injured, Kepa was put in the starting XI to prove his worth to the coach and he failed the test. With Thiago Silva being left out with Sevilla to come in midweek it was the duo Zouma-Christiansen and I wasnt convinced one bit. Thankfully Lamaprd will be able to call on him for tomorrow's match and with Man United to come at the weekeend,it'll be interesting to see which team he sends out tomorrow night at the Bridge.Glad that Werner got a double and Havertz scored as well. Hopefully this is the beginning of great things to come. Sevilla will also...
