Nkunku's goal, Neto's new role, Palmer's frustrations and punchy pre-match protests 41:52

4 วันที่แล้ว41:52

41:52

Back in the top four... for 24 hours at least! Matt Davies-Adams, Liam Twomey and Luke Bosher are back to reflect on the much-needed 4-0 victory over a sorry Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night. We focus on some of the key positives from a game Enzo Maresca's side simply couldn't lose - before turning our attention to Cole Palmer's visible frustration as his struggles in front of goal continued. Plus, the positives of another impressive cameo from Tyrique George and Pedro Neto's suitability up top. Liam was on hand in SW6 to witness the pre-match protests directed at the club's owners. We get a flavour of the assembled crowd and sentiment amongst the fans... There may be no game to preview after the Blues' FA Cup exit - but that won't stop Matt from conducting a (very random) quiz! So a CFC-free weekend, but we'll be back on Monday to reflect on how the women's team fared on their return to action in the WSL against Brighton AND a look ahead to Thursday night's trip to Denmark to face København.

Squandered leads, goalkeeping errors - what happens if Chelsea don't beat Southampton? 49:31

49:31

Two wins in 10 Premier League games, 15 points dropped from winning positions this season... Matt Davies-Adams, Liam Twomey and Luke Bosher are back to run the rule over the 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa. We begin with an epic Simon Johnson voice note live from Villa Park just moments after the final whistle - before taking a closer look at the ongoing goalkeeping conundrum, the dramatic drop-off of Cole Palmer's form and the growing sense of unease around this inexperienced squad. It means Tuesday night's visit of Southampton becomes even bigger, with defeat against the sorry Saints practically unthinkable. We discuss the wider state of the club with a pre-match protest planned before kick-off at Stamford Bridge, before focusing on what we want to see on the pitch from Enzo Maresca's side. We'll be back on Wednesday to look back on the visit of Southampton and surely (!?!) be reflecting on a much-needed and comfortable victory against the team rock bottom of the Premier League...

Trepidation ahead of trip to Villa, plus Glenn Hoddle gives his take on Maresca 51:01

10 วันที่แล้ว51:01

51:01

The only way is up after Friday night... Matt Davies-Adams is back with The Athletic's Luke Bosher and Liam Twomey alongside him to preview Saturday evening's Premier League clash at Aston Villa. It's fair to say expectations are pretty low as we consider the tactical tweaks that could make a difference against Unai Emery's side, the lack of confidence across the squad and the need for leaders in yet another crucial match if Chelsea are to have any hopes of finishing inside the top four. Then, a chance to hear from the former Chelsea player and manager Glenn Hoddle, who sat down with Simon Johnson to talk getting the best out of Cole Palmer, the need for his teammates to step up - and how he sympathises with the pressure that Enzo’s under now after recalling parallels between his own difficult time during his first season in charge at Stamford Bridge back in 1993... Plus - the quiz turns into more of an Alexandre Pato tribute! We'll be back on Monday to give our assessment of the trip to Villa Park AND look ahead to Tuesday night's visit of Southampton.

Chelsea's post-Christmas collapse continues in 3-0 Brighton horror show 59:48

We didn't think it was possible to get worse than last weekend... Matt Davies-Adams, Simon Johnson and Luke Bosher are back to run the rule over the shambolic 3-0 Premier League defeat at Brighton on Friday night. Sounding like a broken record comes to mind, but we try and get to the bottom of the complete lack of intensity or fight displayed by the side, the lack of leadership and quality on display - and why despite all this the ownership group still maintain their faith in Enzo Maresca and the project they've undertaken at Stamford Bridge. If we've said it once we'll say it a million times - thank goodness for the women's team! They left it late but Lauren James' stunning 93rd minute strike saw Chelsea come from behind to beat Everton 2-1 and further cement their domination in the WSL table. We'll be back on Thursday to look ahead to Saturday evening's slightly daunting trip to Villa Park.

Striker crisis hits with Jackson out until April ahead of Brighton rematch 51:32

False 9, anyone!? Matt Davies-Adams, Jessy Parker Humphreys and Liam Twomey are back for your second weekly dose of Chelsea chat. It's back to the seaside we go for the second game in a row as we preview the Premier League trip to the Amex. Our conversation is led by the big news that Nicholas Jackson has been ruled out for "around six to eight weeks" with a hamstring injury. Enzo Maresca says they will need to find 'different solutions' - but what are those solutions and how will Chelsea set up against Brighton and going forward?! We touch base with CFCW ahead of the visit of Everton in the WSL, having knocked them out of the FA Cup last weekend. Is the quadruple a serious possibility?! Plus - Sam Kerr has been found not guilty of causing racially aggravated harassment. And we bring you a quiz which features an inordinate amount of JFH chat... We'll be back on Monday to *hopefully* reflect on a happy Valentine's Day and weekend for all those of a Chelsea persuasion...

Is pressure mounting on Maresca after meek FA Cup exit? 52:10

20 วันที่แล้ว52:10

52:10

Well, that didn't go very well... Matt Davies-Adams has got Liam Twomey and Simon Johnson alongside him to look back on the pretty abject 2-1 defeat by Brighton on Saturday night which saw Chelsea dumped out of the FA Cup. We take a deep dive into the lacklustre performance, the absence of any fight or desire from the players - and the growing feeling of discontent around the job that Enzo Maresca is doing following his post-match comments that they could now 'focus on the Premier League and Conference League' - which it's fair to save haven't gone down particularly well with the fanbase. No such problems for CFCW - who fought back from a goal down to beat Everton 4-1 and book their place in the quarterfinals of the Women's FA Cup. We'll be back on Friday to look ahead to the trip to... oh no, Brighton! HOST: Matt Davies-Adams WITH: Liam Twomey and Simon Johnson PRODUCER: Lucy Oliva Learn more about your ad choices.

Nothing says magic of the FA Cup like a trip to the seaside at 8pm on a Saturday night... Matt Davies-Adams has got Simon Johnson and Luke Bosher alongside him to look ahead to the first of two visits to take on Brighton in the space of less than a week. We're joined by The Athletic's football tactics writer - and Brighton fan - Liam Tharme to get an insight into the Seagulls AND a word on some of the standout tactical intricacies he's noticed from Chelsea so far this season. We give some final reflections now that transfer window is *finally* closed - including what it means for potential game time for Christopher Nkunku now that speculation about his future is on hold - and a sure improvement in Enzo Maresca's mood after a month of distraction. There's all the Blues news elsewhere, and a quiz! We'll be back on Monday to reflect on events at The Amex and find out how CFCW fare against Everton in the 5th round of the Women's FA Cup.

A win's a win against West Ham amid a flurry of deadline day (loan) departures 1:00:25

We don't want your shorts, Enzo... Matt Davies-Adams has got Jessy Parker Humphreys and Liam Twomey alongside him run the rule over the *slamming shut* of the transfer window AND the crucial three points against the Hammers. We begin with events on the field, as Chelsea came from behind to win a Premier League game at Stamford Bridge in which they’ve trailed at half time for the first time since December 2013 (no, seriously!). We reflect on the 2-1 win over West Ham - with the help of Simon at the ground - which certainly wasn't pretty but was mightily important for Enzo Maresca. Then - we attempt to round up all the deadline day deals, including the loan departures of Disasi, Felix, Chilwell and Chukwuemeka - as well as a host of academy products. What does it all mean?! With Jessy in tow it would be rude not to check in with the latest news surrounding CFCW - still unbeaten after a scrappy 1-0 win at Aston Villa courtesy of a fortunate late own goal but with Keira Walsh already looking like she could be a key difference maker with the quadruple still on... We'll be back on Thursday to preview Saturday night's trip to the seaside to take on Brighton in the 4th round of the FA Cup!

We're in for a very busy Monday... Matt Davies-Adams has got Luke Bosher and Liam Twomey in tow to look ahead to the impending Graham Potter reunion. But we begin with everyone's favourite transfer window rumour mill chat - including the ongoing interest in Mathys Tel, potential late approaches for a striker, the sorry Ben Chilwell situation, the peculiar case of Deivid Washington AND an audacious deadline day swoop for Keira Walsh! Then, we turn our attention to matters on the pitch and the visit of West Ham to Stamford Bridge under the lights on Monday night. We try and imagine a life at Stamford Bridge had Graham Potter not been sacked after just 31 games in charge... We've of course got all your other Blues news covered - and a quiz! We'll be back on Tuesday to reflect on the West Ham game and tell you how CFCW got on against Aston Villa...

Therapy's in session, buckle up... Matt Davies-Adams is joined by The Athletic's Liam Twomey and Simon Johnson to take a look back on the fairly disastrous 3-1 defeat at Manchester City. There's no hanging about as we dissect the tactical ineptitude, lack of accountability on the pitch and failings from the manager through to the sporting directors... One thing we can ALWAYS count on though are the mighty CFCW - who took an even firmer grip on the WSL title race thanks to the 1-0 win over Arsenal at a raucous Stamford Bridge. Jessy Parker Humphreys sent us their thoughts after another statement victory for Sonia Bompastor's side. Plus, Renato Veiga's in Turin, Kepa's not coming back - but are we expecting any last minute transfer business from the Blues? We'll be back on Thursday to preview the now even more significant Monday night meeting with Graham Potter's West Ham.

Be more PSG, Chelsea... Matt Davies-Adams has got two of The Athletic's finest, Luke Bosher and Simon Johnson alongside him for your second weekly dose of Blues chat. We begin with a look at the latest transfer news - including the record-breaking arrival of USA defender Naomi Girma. We pushed the emergency voice note klaxon so Jessy Parker Humphreys could tell us all about the 24-year-old and what she'll bring to the club. On the men's side - we console Luke over news that Renato Veiga is set to spend the rest of the campaign and Juventus, and check in on the rumours of Garnacho coming in... Then, it's all eyes on Manchester City on Saturday evening, with Enzo Marseca's side travelling to face a City side two points behind them in the table and reeling from their 4-2 defeat by PSG in the Champions League. We look ahead to that game and ponder the midfield options and approach to taking on the uncharacteristically poor Citizens. Plus, can Simon build upon his remarkable performance in last week's quiz and get another big win? We'll be back on Monday to reflect on the the trip to Manchester City, that huge WSL clash with Arsenal coming to Stamford Bridge - and bring you up to speed with all the other Blues news!

Welcome back, Trevoh... Matt Davies-Adams has got Liam Twomey and Jessy Parker Humphrey's alongside him to look back on the much-needed 3-1 victory over Wolves on Monday night. We highlight Chalobah's triumphant return to Stamford Bridge, the ongoing concerns around Robert Sanchez which just aren't going away - and worry about the lack of midfield options following the latest potentially long-term injuries to Enzo and Lavia. There's a closer look at the transfer window, including rumours of an approach for Alejandro Garnacho, the possibility of yet more loan recalls due to the midfield injury woes - and news of another youthful signing. Plus, Chelsea Women returned to WSL action in emphatic style with a 5-0 victory over West Ham. Next up, the small matter of a London derby with Arsenal - where a win would probably all but seal a sixth straight title... We'll be back on Thursday to preview the trip to the Etihad to take on a Manchester City side who unfortunately seemed to have remembered how to play football again...

We've missed you, Reece (and Trevoh...)... The Athletic's Chelsea writers Liam Twomey and Simon Johnson are alongside Matt Davies-Adams to look back on the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth. We lament yet another second half collapse, weigh up the positives and negatives of Nicholas Jackson - and revisit the accusations of tactical naivety levelled at Enzo Maresca. So, a response is needed on Monday night against a Wolves side who sit inside the relegation zone but have form when it comes to picking up three points and springing a surprise at Stamford Bridge.. We also touch base with the latest January transfer window activity - including the recall of Trevoh Chalobah from Crystal Palace and the rumoured departures of Christopher Nkunku and Axel Disasi - and the news that the club have been found PSR compliant. Plus - have we seen the greatest performance in the history of the quiz? We'll be back on Tuesday to reflect on the visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers and find out how Chelsea Women get on back in WSL action against West Ham on Sunday afternoon.

Say it ain't so, Renato... Matt Davies-Adams has got The Athletic's Chelsea experts Liam Twomey and Simon Johnson alongside him to analyse the 5-0 victory over Morecambe in the FA Cup to set up a trip to Brighton in the fourth round. We talk missed opportunities for Nkunku, Tosin's goals and leadership - and the surprising news that a certain muse of Luke's could be on his way out the door... Then, a far more serious challenge presents itself - with high-flying Bournemouth visiting Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night in the Premier League. Just how important is it for the Blues to bag all three points if they're to maintain their hopes of a top four finish? Elsewhere, Chelsea Women returned to action after the winter break with a comfortable 4-0 win over Charlton in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Jessy Parker Humphrey's sends in their full-time thoughts after the final whistle at Kingsmeadow!

No 'cupsets' welcome round here... The Athletic's Simon Johnson and Luke Bosher are alongside Matt Davies-Adams to preview Saturday's FA Cup third round tie with lowly League Two outfit Morecambe at Stamford Bridge. We look ahead to that game, ponder team selection and the wider importance of the competition to the club. As transfer rumours continue to swirl we take a look at some of latest news to come out - including a potential approach for Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo, interest in Cobham graduate Marc Guehi - and a Bundesliga move for Carney Chukwuemeka? Plus, can our quizzers regain some dignity after last week's underwhelming start to 2025?!
