Why Chelsea’s break can also push the reset button

One week today and we will be getting prepared for Chelsea to take on Bournemouth back in the Premier League! Club football is back!

I actually do have mixed emotions about club football being back. I’m 

thrilled about it in about half of my brain, the half that has loved Chelsea Football Club since the day I could kick a ball, the half that loves football more than life oneself, and the half that draws me back to 

observing every single minute of Chelsea playing football through rain, 

glow, good times, bad times, and even in the old second dissection, albeit very hazy memories of that.

My point is, I’ll continue watching Chelsea even if we got downgraded to the non-league and become just another local club trying to get into the competitive league. They’d still have my support. Chelsea is a lifestyle, and I’ll endure Chelsea until the day I die.

But the other half of my

intellect is filled with 

terror, dread, and unreliability. Of course, I can fully 

appreciate that we are in a transition period under new ownership, ownership that has big and 

progressive plans to get Chelsea back to the very top again. And I can

recognize that we will need elements of 

restraint this season at least as Graham Potter still finds his feet with a whole bunch of new players.

I’m also calm with the fact that my personal 

assumptions whilst watching Chelsea play have now lowered to a point where I see it to be much more pragmatic right now, and that should help my emotions too, at least a bit.

Chelsea loves to send us through the 

response, and we have grown used to the ups and downs. As a fan of any club, you need to secure

 that there will never be

instability. But with Chelsea soon to be back and fronting Bournemouth in the Premier League on December 27th, all these responses are coming

dashing back together. I’m excited but fearful.

I have some 

the reliance that this break would have done us all good and that we will start to fire more than we did before the break. And I am 

assertive that our new owners will have a good January transport window and get it to spot on, exceptionally with our newly added experts within the advertize department.

So I am conclusive overall, for now at least. That might exchange after 90 minutes on the 27th! But for now, I am going to just look onward to having our Chelsea back and look forward to showing Chelsea play football.

We’ve all had a reboot and I just hope that many of you, like me, have also reset your 

supposition for this season. certainly, we are Chelsea, and we 

command the best, we desire the best, and we need 

a sequel.

We truly do need results. But we have to look at the bigger picture here as well right now, and we, myself comprised, just need to try and show some form of patience as we

arrange the second half of the summer after Christmas.

Things are not rosy 

correct now, we know this. We need to be much better. The players, the board, the staff, and Graham Potter, will all know that they desire to be much better going into the rest of the season. So I will keep some

I believe here, for sure.

I’m excited about Chelsea being back. Please, Chelsea, do not crush that 

exhilaration in an instant next Tuesday!

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...
