Welcome home Super Frank!
1. JAMIE GITTENS (8.1) It’s been a quiet start to life for young Jamie Gittens at Chelsea following his big-money move from Borussia Dortmund. He’s been at, or near the bottom of the pecking order at winger for much of the season thus far, impressing sparingly and, as a result, not getting much consistent playing […]

Appointment Unbeaten Wow

Chelsea may have won 4-3 last night against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the fourth round of the League Cup, but Enzo Maresca was not particularly pleased by what he witnessed in that game. Personally, I was quite entertained in a relatively low-pressure situation: from the absolute cakewalk of a first half with our youngsters shining, to […]

Fresh off his recent appearance at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea Legends, we’re getting another delightfully heavy dose of Eden Hazard nostalgia as our legendary winger has been voted in as the newest member of the Premier League Hall of Fame. This was Hazard’s first year of eligibility, and he joins fellow Blues John Terry, Ashley […]

Chelsea booked a placed in the next round of the League Cup thanks to an entertaining 4-3 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers last night. And fortune would smile upon us a bit later as well, with the Blues getting a favorable in the quarterfinals. The Blues of London will be paying a visit to the Blue-birds […]

Wolves are in a very bad place, one in which is very difficult to find a way out without a massive overhaul from top to bottom. Their entire model seems to have reared its ugly head, with the little talent they had at their hands now gone to seemingly greener pastures. It wouldn’t take long […]

Welcome to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, with Chelsea taking on Premier League-strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. Domestic cups may be our best opportunity for silverware this season, so despite the expectation rotation, we should be fully focused on getting through to the next round. Enzo Maresca has made all the promised changes […]

Enzo Maresca made it pretty clear in his pre-match press conference that he will be looking to rotate his squad for this League Cup fourth round clash against a struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers side, and the WAGNH Community are in full agreement with those intentions. In fact, it is a full rotation from the voters, with […]

Two of Chelsea’s next four games are against Wolverhampton Wanderers; first, in the League Cup and then, about ten days later, in the Premier League. First away, then at home. Given Wolves massive struggles so far this season — just two wins in all competitions, both in the League Cup — that should be two […]

After the disappointment of the weekend, Chelsea switch gears and hit the road, traveling up to Noni Madueke’s favorite place for a Wednesday night Carabao Cup clash against the locals. Unfortunately, Noni’s no longer here to put three past them, so someone else will have to step up. Who that someone might be is a […]

The finalists for this year’s FIFPro Men’s World XI have been announced, and among the 26 nominees is our very own Cole Palmer, flying the blue flag high among all the other names from PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona … and even Inter Miami and Al-Nassr because Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo appear to be eternal.

1. JOSH ACHEAMPONG (6.9) I’ve never seen a manager make more unprompted substitutions of center backs than I have seen from Enzo Maresca this season. And sure, maybe I’m just too set in the old ways and not hip to the new football. Maybe with five substitutions available these days, it’s inevitable that we’ll see […]

Just when it looked like Chelsea were starting to build some positive momentum, we proceeded to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory (or at the very worst, a draw), dropping all three points at home against upstart newcomers Sunderland. We brought back the script that pleased no one, from last month against Brighton, […]

It was a dream start for the Blues as Alejandro Garnacho fired a low ball through the legs of an excellent Robin Roefs in the fourth minute to get Stamford Bridge rocking. But the visitors had already fired a couple warning shots by then, and responded well to the goal by increasing their threat levels […]

It’s fifth versus (a surprising) seventh as we start the day, with both teams on 14 points from the first eight games and looking to go second at least temporarily with a win here today. Chelsea have won four in a row, Sunderland have lost just one of their last six. It’s the second best […]

Unlike for our last game, against Ajax Amsterdam, there’s quite a bit of clarity from the WAGNH Community about the lineup preference for today’s game, with only one of the starting XI clocking in at under 70 per cent. Somewhat surprisingly, that one player is young Estêvão, collecting “just” 63 per cent of the vote. […]

Sunderland joined Leeds United and Burnley in earning promotion from the Championship last season, returning to the Premier League after an eight-year absence (parts of which spell were chronicled in the most excellent “Sunderland ’Til I Die” series, which everyone should watch). Surprisingly, it’s the Black Cats who are doing the best of the three […]

Chelsea made it four wins on the spin with Wednesday’s 5-1 romp against a rather poor Ajax Amsterdam, and now take on a rather surprising Sunderland side on Saturday to try to make it five in a row. The Black Cats barely made it out of the Championship last season, finishing fourth well off the […]

1. ESTÊVÃO The first of what will hopefully be many, many, many WAGNH Man of the Match awards for young Estêvão, who got to score his first Champions League goal thanks to a solid leadership move from Enzo Fernández, who gave the penalty to the youngster to take (that he had won in the first […]
