Liam Rosenior plays down speculation, but Chelsea move reportedly ‘imminent’
RC Strasbourg head coach Liam Rosenior was the immediate frontrunner to replace Enzo Maresca, making the jump up from our BlueCo sister club, and it sounds like the expected outcome will be reached sooner than later … perhaps quite a lot sooner than later. This of course always seemed like it might be the long-term […]
How should interim Chelsea line up against Manchester City?
As if we didn’t have enough drama going on off the pitch, this weekend we also travel up north to the cold and the wind and maybe the snow, to take on a Manchester City team trying to keep Arsenal and a title fight within their sights. To further complicate matters, we will be doing […]
Calum McFarlane just happy to be here, at this ‘brilliant’ and ‘amazing’ club
Enzo Maresca has disappeared in a cloud of smoke like Houdini, and in his stead, with (almost) his entire staff gone as well, we’ve got U21 head coach Calum McFarlane and his crew taking charge this weekend. (The one confirmed holdover is, of course, set piece coach Bernardo Cueva. Most be because of our tremendous […]

Here we go Keen First
Liam Rosenior the ‘leading candidate’ to replace Enzo Maresca; Calum McFarlane to take interim charge — reports
Enzo Maresca’s swift exit has left Chelsea managerless for the trip to Manchester City this weekend, and even before we figure out who will be the next man in the firing line charge, we need to figure out who takes over in the interim until then. While unconfirmed right now, it looks like the person […]
Chelsea 2-2 AFC Bournemouth, Player Ratings: End of year Blues
1. ESTÊVÃO (8.1) There was a bright spark to this game at times, certainly in the first half, and that spark was mostly thanks to young Estêvão, who started for the first time in nearly a month. He was instrumental in getting us back to level terms, winning the penalty that Cole Palmer converted, and […]
Official: Enzo Maresca has left Chelsea
The start of a brand new calendar year is the time of new resolutions and new beginnings, but often those are just performative, symbolic gestures. Nothing empty about this decision however! Enzo Maresca has decided to leave Chelsea Football Club with immediate effect. His position at the club may have been under increasing pressure, but […]
Enzo Maresca ‘expected’ to leave Chelsea today — report
It’s a new year and, apparently, soon a brand new era at Chelsea, with manager Enzo Maresca ‘expected’ to be leaving the club today. Maresca is still officially in charge as we speak, but the relationship between him and the higher-ups has evidently reached its breaking point. That he’s leaving on his own terms is […]
The Daily Hilario: Happy New Year!
Hmm Second Sad days ahead
Chelsea 2-2 AFC Bournemouth, Premier League: Post-match reaction
The one thing we needed Chelsea to avoid today was their Robin Hood syndrome. Yet it looked like we were an out of sync Santa Claus out there with Bournemouth finding some gifts under the Bridge in the early minutes of tonight’s game. Soon our worries turned into reality. David Brooks broke away from marking […]
Chelsea vs. AFC Bournemouth, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
Bad form has struck both Chelsea and Bournemouth, with the latter not even knowing what a good result is for a while longer than the Blues. Both are looking to close out 2025 with a win to set a good tune once we turn to the next year. It’s an interesting setup for us with […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Bournemouth: Anyone for left back?
Chelsea head into tonight’s game against AFC Bournemouth low on vibes and even lower on the number of fit left backs in the squad. As thing stand, we have exactly zero fit players of the left back persuasion, which means that someone less ideal for the task will have to fill in. Malo Gusto did […]
Chelsea vs. AFC Bournemouth, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
December is the month where things either make or break for Premier League teams. This year, we might as well ask if Chelsea have been broken beyond repair. A single league win in five matches burned out all the “fat” that made us dream of seeing the gap finally closing between ourselves and the top […]
The Daily Hilario: Tuesday
Involved Competing Highest
How should Chelsea line up against AFC Bournemouth?
Chelsea’s final match of the calendar year is a home game against AFC Bournemouth. The Cherries jut got smacked to the tune of 4-1 in West London, against Brentford; can we administer a similar fate onto them at the Bridge on Tuesday night? Inexplicably, Enzo Maresca was not asked about Marc Cucurella’s hamstring in today’s […]

Consecutive Hmm Only
Chelsea 1-2 Aston Villa, Player Ratings: Reece James alone not enough
1. REECE JAMES (7.1) Back-to-back Man of the Match awards for Reecey, though unlike against Newcastle the weekend prior, this time he alone was not enough to get us at least a point. With better finishing we of course would be looking at three points easily (probably), but that’s a story for another day. That […]
Jorrel Hato ‘number one’ on Ajax Amsterdam’s January wishlist — report
It’s expected to be a quiet January transfer window at Chelsea Football Club, though that doesn’t mean we’re not going to see any player movement whatsoever. Could Jorrel Hato be among those possibly looking for minutes elsewhere in the second half of the season? That is surely highly unlikely, but rumors in the Netherlands claim […]
Enzo Maresca rues missed chances as Chelsea drop more points from winning positions
There was a sense of inevitability about it all. From domination to disappointment; we don’t do 1-0 wins around here after all. At least not very often (we have just two this season, against Benfica and Spurs, away). Chelsea were much the better side in the first half, in just about every phase, but managed […]
The Daily Hilario: Sunday
Hmm First Waiting
Chelsea 1-2 Aston Villa, Premier League: Post-match reaction
The Villans have been on incredible form this season, with only three losses in 17 Premier League matches — two of which way back in August. However they haven’t been really solid in recent away matches, which included narrow wins against Brighton and West Ham this month. Their gameplan against Chelsea which amounted to letting […]
Chelsea vs. Aston Villa, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
It’s the day after Boxing Day match for Chelsea in the Premier League, with the Blues hosting Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge. Can we get a late Christmas gift to boot? With Moisés Caicedo and Enzo Fernández in the mix we might see captain Reece James dominating the right side of the pitch. Up until […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Aston Villa: The usual suspects
After a week’s rest, Chelsea face a gauntlet of three matches in quick succession, starting with a top-four clash against Aston Villa and ending with a top-four clash against Manchester City: sandwiching a must-win against Bournemouth at home. Three wins probably shouldn’t be expected, but winning the two home games probably (certainly?) should be. We’re […]
The Daily Hilario: Saturday
Highest Talks Going strong
Chelsea vs. Aston Villa, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
Instead of traditional Boxing Day fixtures, this year we get games on the day after. But they may be worth the wait — or at least we had one extra stress-free day to enjoy the holiday season — as Chelsea take on high-flying Aston Villa on Saturday night at Stamford Bridge. Yours truly will be […]
