Newcastle United poured cold water on Chelsea’s hopes of bouncing back from their 5-2 loss at the hands of PSG in the Champions League. Liam Rosenior’s side looked toothless and did not trouble the opposition much throughout the game. It was a tired display from a team that looked spent from their efforts in Paris […]

The day had started with a briefing that a Chelsea director was convinced that it was obvious we were building one of the best teams in the world. The day ended with the Blues suffering a 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge against Newcastle United. With that, they might have bid their chances of Champions League […]

It did not come as a surprise to me that Filip Jorgensen was not in the starting XI against Newcastle United. After his poor display against Paris Saint-Germain in mid-week, and some of his actions after the game, that was somewhat expected. Robert Sanchez was back between the posts. What did come out of the […]

Going into the final stretch of the season, Chelsea find themselves in a familiar position. Champions League qualification is not a certainty. And any form of silverware looks possible, but not exactly likely. The Blues’ form has been shaky at best. We have seen them pick it up in the latter phase of the previous […]

The dust has barely settled on Chelsea’s 5-2 loss at the hands of PSG in the Champions League. Liam Rosenior’s side do not have much time to dwell on that result though. The important games keep coming thick and fast. This week, they will be taking on Newcastle United in the Premier League. Newcastle United […]

Joao Pedro has been in top form since Liam Rosenior became manager of Chelsea. But the game against PSG showed that the Blues do need another quality option up front. Liam Delap does not look good enough to deliver at the top level. Nicolas Jackson’s future at Stamford Bridge is uncertain. And although Emmanuel Emegha […]

When Chelsea met Barcelona earlier in the season, it was a completely one-sided contest. The Blues won 3-0 and it could have easily been so much more. Nobody could have guessed back then how quickly their season would end up unraveling. A little over a month after that Barcelona match, Enzo Maresca was sacked. Differences […]

After the 5-2 defeat at the hands of PSG, Chelsea will be looking to get back on track this weekend. Of course, that is easier said than done. Their next opponents are Newcastle United. Eddie Howe’s side are coming off a decent result in the Champions League themselves, having drawn 1-1 against FC Barcelona. Domestically, […]

It has now been more than two months since Chelsea appointed Liam Rosenior as manager. The appointment was met with a lot of resistance from the supporters. Understandably so, as the Englishman did not have an impressive enough resume for a job of this magnitude. To be fair, Rosenior has exceeded expectations so far, at […]

There has not been much positivity around Chelsea over the past week. The performance against Wrexham was a warning sign. And although the Blues were not terrible against PSG, they still los 5-2. That is all that matters. It is hard to imagine that this team will be able to overturn a three-goal deficit in […]

Coming out of the game against PSG, Chelsea have a lot to worry about. To be very honest, they were not nearly as bad as the 5-2 scoreline suggests. The Blues were very much in the game for 75 minutes. But individual errors cost them dearly on the night. It is hard to imagine that […]

If you looked at Chelsea’s 5-2 defeat against PSG, the issues did not lie going forward for the Blues. They gave the European champions problems throughout the game. And even though Joao Pedro was not brilliant, he has been one of the club’s best performers since Liam Rosenior’s arrival. The problems clearly lie at the […]
