Chelsea FCW 1-0 FK Austria Wien, UEFA Women’s Champions League: Post-match reaction

When Chelsea Women faced an Austrian team last season, they had little to no difficulties dispatching them even though they were playing away. We had more than 43 shots against their goal and if it wasn’t for a whopping 14 saves from St. Pölten goalkeeper Carina Schlüter, this match would have hit the history books. […]

Estêvão responds to playing time concerns at Chelsea

Brazilian football media have not taken kindly to starboy Estêvão finding himself down the pecking order a bit at the moment, behind both Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers at the forward positions and behind Pedro Neto in the makeshift right wing-back position as well. In fairness, neither of those are roles we really associate with […]

Cole Palmer withdraws from England squad due to ‘injury issues’

Cole Palmer has been withdrawn from the England squad, with the Chelsea star one of five players to opt out of international duty for the current international break. As confirmed by the team, Tino Livramento, Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford, Declan Rice, and Palmer have all been “ruled out […] due to respective injury issues”. That […]

Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli becomes Chelsea’s youngest ever Premier League player

There wasn’t much to celebrate from Chelsea’s last game before the international break, a 3-0 defeat at Brentford on Friday night, but we did get a professional debut late on for young Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli, who became our youngest ever Premier League player in the process. Congrats, Mahdi! Jody Morris had held this specific record since […]

Brentford 3-0 Chelsea, Player Ratings: A midfield, of sorts

1. VALENTÍN BARCO (5.4) At the end of the day, no one played well in this game, certainly in the second half, but earlier in the game, we did seem to finally have at least a semblance of a midfield, and that was largely thanks to the energetic Barco, making his first Premier League start […]

The Daily Hilario: The 3-week break

I made the following absolutely horrifying discovery earlier today: the international break is not two weeks long like normal, but three! Yes, three whole weeks. Three. One, two, three. Three! Apparently I missed the announcement where FIFA combined what were traditionally the September and October international breaks of two weeks each into just one big […]

Chelsea FCW 2-0 Birmingham City WFC, Women’s Super League: Post-match reaction

Hard hit by injuries just like the men’s side, head coach Sonia Bompastor’s options for picking up Chelsea Women starting lineups have been very limited. The striker-less scheme worked against Manchester United but the often conservative boss in her tactical approach doesn’t seem like she wants to reinvent the wheel by doing it so twice. […]

Chelsea FCW vs. Birmingham City WFC, Women’s Super League: Preview, team news, how to watch

An astonishing 5-0 win away against Manchester United was exactly what Chelsea Women needed after a Women’s Super League season debut that left a bad impression on everybody. To show this wasn’t mere happenstance the Blues host recently promoted outfit Birmingham City at Stamford Bridge, hoping they don’t fall into the trappings that caught them […]

Brentford 3-0 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction

The ever increasing amount of injuries Chelsea have had to endure in this season start isn’t helping manager Xabi Alonso. With at least five of his first-choice players out of contention, rotation was forced upon us on what had all the indications to be a difficult time at Brentford’s home turf. We did the best […]

Brentford vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Confirmed lineups; how to watch

Chelsea look to enter the international break with all three points from tonight’s visit to Brentford, who have yet to lose a game this season with one win and three draws in the first four weeks. Our last three visits to this stadium have also ended in draws, so I suppose that might be a […]

England call up Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers; confirm Reece James injury

Xabi Alonso wasn’t too pleased with Brazil revealing João Pedro’s injury (which may or may not be trivial in length and significance), and now the Chelsea manager’s efforts to keep everyone in the dark about injuries have taken another big hit, with England confirming an injury to Reece James. Thomas Tuchel has called on both […]

Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Brentford: Welbeck and Barco to the rescue

Chelsea have been hit by a couple key new injuries, with João Pedro and Reece James joining Moisés Caicedo, Marco Palestra, and Jordan Henderson on the unavailable list. We’re not yet sure of the severity of either JP’s or Reecey’s injuries, but they (most likely) will be missing in action tonight (and over the international […]

Brentford vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch

Chelsea’s last game before the international break will be played under the Friday Night Lights at Brentford, with the Blues hoping to enter the break on a good note and the Bees looking to put a sting in those plans. Brentford have only won one game so far in this year’s Premier League, drawing their […]

How should Chelsea line up against Brentford amid rising number of injury concerns?

We have one more game before the international break, and it’s tomorrow night at nearby Brentford, which technically makes this yet another West London Derby. But our main concern right now are injuries, which appear to be piling up a bit. While Xabi Alonso specifically didn’t rule anybody out in his press conference earlier today, […]

Official: Clearlake acquire ‘full control’ of Chelsea

After four years of a complicated and increasingly awkward co-ownership, the “Boehly-Clearlake Consortium” (which would be renamed BlueCo to make things easier) are now comprised of “just” Clearlake Capital (and also Hansjörg Wyss with his small stake). As announced today officially by the club, Clearlake have bought out Todd Boehly and Mark Walter to acquire […]
