Roger Gatsinzi Unplugged

 Good afternoon I hope you're well and had a restful weekend. So saturday evening produced a bonkers match at The Hawthorns between West Bromwich Albion and Chelsea. After 3 cheaply given away goals in the first half,the Blues fought back with goals from academy players Mount,Abraham and Hudson-Odoi to claim a draw and avoid a second defeat of the season. So as I've been writing in most of my articles throughout the year, Chelsea have been poor defensively and saturday was no surprise with errors from Alonso and Thiago Silva led to a quick double for Robinson. The third goal was a lapse in concentration. Goodness me will this defence improve this year? Difficult to say at the moment. Despite having spent over £200 million on forwards,a goalkeeper and defenders ,the defence is still suspect so this could be a long season for Chelsea. Overall I'm happy that Chelsea avoided defeat but am still concerned by the defence. Cant wait to have all our players back and see what theyt ...

 Good afternoon everyone Happy Monday!I hope you had a restful weekend and are ready for a brand new week. Its hard to believe that the year is ending in less than 100 days. How time flies! Anyway lets get into business. Yesterday's blockbuster match turned out to be one to forget after falling to a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. Lets be honest from kick off the strategy was to keep it tight at the back for as long as possible (a page from Jose Mourinho's book) and counter attack, which is very unlike Frank Lampard. All was going well until the 44th minute when Andreas Christiansen did the unthinkable and fouled Mané outside the box. At first he received a yellow card but after a VAR review it was changed to red and thats where it all fell apart for the Blues. Lack of experience? Naivity? Its hard to say but he'll miss the game in midweek in the Carabao Cup against Barnsley. Looks like Rudiger will be recalled and hopefully Thiago Silva will play as well. This ...

 Hello everyone I hope you are all well and had a restful summer break. The good news is the Premier League is back and Chelsea kicked off their campaign with a 3-1 win at Brighton on Monday night. I'll be honest the Seagulls took the game to the Blues who were far from convincing defensively especially when Tossard scored the esquisite equalizer in the second half after a Jorginho penalty before half time. After shipping in 54 goals last season,one would think that the defenders would have learnt from their mistakes. Clearly they didnt. In this game I can only fault Kepa who should have done way better in my opinion. But lets focus on the positives. Timo Werner looked sharp for his debut and with his pace gave the Brighton defence a hard time. Kai Havertz didnt look too great after a long season participating in the Europa League with Leverkusen and Germany in the Nations League so its too early to judge him. The beautiful goal by Reece James was just incredible. I could watch it ...
