Chelsea must now head to the striker transfer market

Injury FC attacks again at Chelsea, and Armando Borja joins the long list of many top Chelsea players who have had the worst luck with 

momentous injuries in the last few summers.

I’m definitely demolished for Borja, who is anticipated to miss the whole rest of the season now at the very least after doing his ACL in a 

the cordial match against Aston Villa on Sunday.

I think we all knew

precisely what had occurred and 

dread the worst when he went down in pure agony screeching and clutching his knee after going in for a challenge. Absolutely eviscerated for him and wish him a fast improvement

The worst-case scenario means he could now be out for 12 months though, and that means Chelsea must react in January and sign a substitution. We are already short of true number 9-type strikers and options to play there even before Borja was injured, and Chelsea had already been linked with a number of new forwards. So this must precipitate those thoughts even more now and we must sign a new winger in January.

Who, might you ask? Well, that is for our scouting and recruiting

section to get to work on. But will need to have a 

mindful look around and join a new striker who can play as a 9, in my meek 

judgment.

It’s horrible news and luck for Borja, who had just signed a new long-term agreement at Chelsea and was battling for a 

constant starting spot. His continuation will now stall, but he still has youth on his side and will be back.

In the interim, Chelsea will need to put themselves first and 

enlist for the here and now in the January transfer market.

Ziyech has improved, but rebuild means he has to go

Hakim Ziyech to permit Chelsea this window, and for me, it should not even be a dispute. We have just signed three strikers in the shape of Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, and Noni Madueke. Our squad is now bloated, exceptionally in the attack. We cannot roster them all currently in our Champions League squad, a player or two needs to be immolated (not physically). We are also probably signing 1/2 more players this window. Until the World Cup, I think lovely much every Chelsea fan would have told yes to selling Ziyech, including the player himself (still believe he wants to leave now). But now, I’ve seen calm a few interrogating it off the back of a good World Cup and a few satisfactory games for Chelsea. He’s been great in spells, granted, but the inconsistencies are still clear to me. We cannot sell Christian Pulisic this month because he has a long-term scratch and no club will buy him. So it has to be Ziyech I’m nervous. As I’ve said, I totally  treasure what he does bring, and wh...

Erik ten Hag’s tactical genius brings Man United victory against Leeds United

Erik ten Hag masterminded an improbable Manchester United win at Elland Road this afternoon later a wound-ravaged side looked to be heading for a stalemate against a brave Yorkshire team buoyed by the combative crowd. United was without Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Antony, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, and Anthony Martial for the risky stumble over the Pennines. By the hour mark, Leeds looked the most probable to take the three points. With Jadon Sancho looking to be the star most probable to turn it around for United and center-onward Wout Weghorst looking lost, Ten Hag’s double change in the 61st minute changed the course of the sport. Sancho was replaced by juvenile Alejandro Garnacho, who has been disheartening in the last couple of games, while Tyrell Malacia was changed by Lisandro Martinez, pushing Luke Shaw back out to left back. To many fans’ astonishment, Weghorst stayed on. Garnacho replaced Marcus Rashford on the left pinion, who moved up front. Bruno Fernandes moved ...

Chelsea’s change of shape in-game is key

Chelsea beat Bournemouth 2-0 on Tuesday evening in their first game back later the World Cup interrupt. It was a much-needed win and a clean sheet after stumbling form and poor performances before the break. There was one key element for me that I noticed that really helped Chelsea get the edge over Bournemouth and make it a pretty straightforward game for them in the end, and that was the in-game exchange of shape. We are starting to see elements come into our play that has clearly been implemented by Graham Potter and his team, and the shape is one of them. I also incorporated about four moves in the first half that Chelsea made that were quick one-touch passing that set us up for a savage within seconds. We have rarely seen this at Chelsea in recent seasons, with our possession play often being too slow and too labored. It was  invigorating to see some quick fluctuation and players also taking on those hard and riskier passes; that is what we need to be seeing much more, worryin...
