@mattdaviesadams.bsky.social, @sjohnsonsport.bsky.social & @lukebosher.bsky.social hashing out the latest defeat on Monday’s pod - and looking ahead to the visit to Brighton on Tuesday 🫣

What’s your main takeaway from tonight’s game? #CFC

Not exactly a revenge game from Garnacho, this

Nothing screams ‘Chelsea can’t have nice things’ more than Estevao tearing his hamstring as he runs through on goal

Chelsea hoping he’ll be fit for Brighton apparently

Joao Pedro’s injury has created a very big opportunity for Liam Delap against the club who thought they were signing him last summer. Can quieten a lot of critics if he takes it

Enzo Fernandez’s Chelsea return comes amid a clear Moises Caicedo contract message Enzo Fernandez will return to Chelsea's squad for the game against Manchester United — just after Moises Caicedo agreed a new contract

Back in 2023, a phone call from Fernandez helped persuade Caicedo to join Chelsea over Liverpool.

Three years on, Caicedo’s place at the heart of BlueCo’s project looks far more assured.

Behdad Eghbali’s message to Chelsea fans: ‘We care … we’re committed’ A number of Chelsea fans are set to protest against the club's ownership before Saturday's Premier League game against Manchester United.

Behdad Eghbali spoke at CAA's World Congress of Sports conference.

Here's what he had to say on Maresca, Rosenior, learning from mistakes, Chelsea's shifting recruitment focus, and his message to supporters 👇

I can’t believe there are people on this Earth who watched Arsenal 0-0 Sporting

Is Liam Rosenior under any pressure at Chelsea – and should he be? Chelsea are sixth in the Premier League but within reach of the teams in mid-table

Chelsea are backing Liam Rosenior. Most outside the club are not. What are the reasons for concern, and are there reasons not to worry?

Piece with @sjohnsonsport.bsky.social and @reallycerys.bsky.social.

Andoni Iraola has worked wonders at Bournemouth. He should and will immediately become one of the most attractive names in the summer coaching market

RIP Colin Hutchinson, Chelsea's original sporting director (though that was never his job title).

He did remarkable work building Chelsea's first truly international team, and I'll always be grateful to him for talking to me for this piece

Chelsea handed another crushing reminder of how far they are off the elite BlueCo-era Chelsea have consciously tried to mould themselves on Manchester City, but have overlooked the key ingredients

Man City are now 13 games unbeaten against Chelsea since Porto. Arsenal haven’t lost to them in the last 11 meetings.

In the fourth season of this BlueCo project, Chelsea too often fail to beat or even compete against the best.

13 fouls vs 10 shot attempts in that first half...

SOC recorded! With @lukebosher.bsky.social & @liamtwomey.bsky.social together in the studio! And @mattdaviesadams.bsky.social on the big screen! Coming to a podcast feed near you soon 🎙️🔵

Who should captain Chelsea for the rest of the season? Several candidates may want the responsibility for the rest of this season and beyond if Fernandez is deemed unworthy of the armband

Who should captain Chelsea on the pitch for the rest of the season (or until James gets back)?

Fernandez feels like an awkward choice now, so here are some (not entirely serious) alternatives

Watching Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk train alone at Uxbridge FC Whenever and wherever the Ukrainian can play professional football again, he looks determined to make sure he is ready

How does a footballer stay ready when they’re not allowed to play football?

I watched Mykhailo Mudryk train at Uxbridge FC this week.

Marc Cucurella’s Chelsea concerns will resonate with fans. Will the club act on them? Cucurella is one of the most popular players at Stamford Bridge — and that status lends authority to his opinions

Cucurella is the second member of this Chelsea squad's leadership group to publicly lament Maresca's departure. He has also questioned the club's recruitment policy.

Concerns raised from within are much harder to dismiss. How will Chelsea respond?

Bit of a mad one for @acjimbo.bsky.social, @cdeccleshare.bsky.social, @jaydmharris.bsky.social & @liamtwomey.bsky.social to get stuck into tomorrow morning. Which bits should they be getting stuck into? 🎙️

Most importantly, I hope Chalobah is ok. Awful to watch him stretchered off in the closing minutes

So…. Not the best 🫣

It’s good to talk these things through though, so @mattdaviesadams.bsky.social, @liamtwomey.bsky.social & @reallycerys.bsky.social are gathering tomorrow to do just that…

We’re taking your contributions/ complaints/ despair as well 💬 #CFC

Exiting the Champions League in that manner is bad enough. But on this trajectory of performances and results, when will Chelsea be back in it?

Mamadou Sarr coming off at HT: “Oh well, at least my night can’t get any worse”

…

Can only assume the Chelsea fans still in their seats are staying to avoid the rush to Fulham Broadway

Rosenior didn’t walk into a good situation (it’s increasingly clear why Maresca was so keen to leave in January), but some of his tactical and personnel decisions have been pretty hard to understand, let alone justify.

Chelsea conceding this many easy goals isn’t remotely tenable

This would be quite the week to hear Roman Abramovich chants, but we might be only one or two PSG goals away at this stage
