Maurizio Sarri is living on borrowed time at Stamford Bridge following his side’s dismal departure from the FA Cup on Monday. Anything but a comprehensive victory over Swedish champions Malmo will act as just another nail in the coffin for the Italian, who theoretically now has three games to save his job and his footballing […]
Maurizio Sarri’s nine-day ultimatum got off to the worst possible start, as Paul Pogba came to the fore and dominated Chelsea’s feeble midfield. The result throws Sarri’s regime into further doubt, with the Blues faithful outwardly venting their frustrations at the Italian manager hurling chants of ‘you’re getting sacked in the morning’ in the way […]
Tonight sees the start of what could prove to make or break Maurizio Sarri’s contentious reign at the helm of Chelsea, as his side take on an in-form Manchester United team in the 5th round of the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge. Goals from Ross Barkley and Olivier Giroud delivered some much-needed rest bite for […]
A late goal from Anders Christiansen ensured Chelsea travel back to London with just a slender one-goal advantage, as the Blues recorded a 2-1 victory against Malmo in Sweden. Ross Barkley showed quick feet to shuffle the ball and poke Chelsea ahead in the 30th minute. The game, on the whole, was still, however, an […]
Chelsea have some form of respite from their torrid Premier League campaign this Thursday, as they look to continue their unbeaten start in the Europa League, taking on Swedish champions Malmo away from home. Malmo scraped through to the knockout rounds on the final match day with a dramatic 1-0 win against Besiktas, eventually finishing […]
Chelsea’s catastrophic away record against the ‘big six’ sides continued embarrassingly, as Sergio Aguero netted a record-equalling 11th hat-trick of his Premier League career in Manchester City’s 6-0 win. The cataclysmic nature of the Blues emerged within just four minutes of kick-off. The quick feet and slaloming dribbles of Bernardo Silva saw him lay the ball […]
Maurizio Sarri rang the changes to great effect, as Gonzalo Higuain opened his Chelsea account in a 5-0 win against lowly Huddersfield. Still hurting from their shameful performance, as Antonio Rudiger put it, in midweek, the Blues made a host of changes which included the aforementioned German dropping out in favour of Andreas Christensen, as […]
Under fire Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has come out in defence of his possession based tactic nicknamed ‘Sarriball’ following his sides worst Premier League defeat in over 20 years at the hands of Bournemouth.

Chelsea suffered one of their worst defeats in recent history, as a second-half salvo from Bournemouth handed the Cherries a 4-0 victory over Maurizio Sarri’s shoddy outfit. The first half was controlled and as is always the case Chelsea had a huge majority of possession without making the opposition, even with the addition of veteran […]
On potentially his last appearance for the club, Callum Hudson-Odoi scored just his second Chelsea goal either side of two Willian strikes to ensure a comfortable victory for the Blues against Sheffield Wednesday. In a side that showed eight changes from Thursday night’s dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Tottenham, on-loan forward Gonzalo Higuain got his […]
Chelsea responded resoundingly to Maurizio Sarri’s comments at the weekend, beating fierce London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on penalties in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Stamford Bridge. Having trailed 1-0 from the reverse fixture two weeks ago, the Blues were buoyed by the absences of the attacking trio so pivotal to Spurs’ two victories […]
Chelsea’s struggles in front of goal continued as they were comprehensively brushed aside by Arsenal, who now stand just three points behind The Blues in the hunt for Champions League football.
