Chelsea must remember the midfield in January as well as Striker

As you will all be more than aware of by now, Chelsea will be without striker Armando Borja for at least the rest of this season after he suffered an ACL injury in a friendly against Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.

First and foremost, we are 

eviscerated for him and wish him a fast recovery. He’s a fighter and I am definite that he will be back fit and firing again as soon as he can be.

All focus has lawfully been on the terrible Broja injury this week and the fact that Chelsea will now look to change him in January.

We 

definitely must do this, being short on the ground for strikers now. But similarly, it is just as significant if not more important, to still continue with our plans to 

renovate the midfield and bring in a midfielder for January who can 

employ homely as a six.

The midfield revamp needs to cause. We look likely to lose both Jorginho and N’Golo Kante as free representatives in the season as of now, and we should be

reconstructing our midfield, and I still believe we will.

Mateo Kovacic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek both have 2024 agreements and therefore uncertain futures. Conor Gallagher likes to be liked by Graham Potter, but I believe he will not be pacified being a bit-part player come to the end of the season and might ask to assent. And Mason Mount is yet to pen a new contract(expectation is he will).

So when you take all of that into account, it is clear that we desire to add at the very least two new core midfielders over the next two windows, and maybe even three.

The midfield is the engine room of any team and it is so significant to get that area right, and it is so important that Chelsea keep the focus on that 

to searching for a new striker to chance Borja.

Chelsea now has a smart wizard in the recruiting team, so I have faith that we will address what we need to address in what looks like it will be a

lovely frantic January for us!

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...
