West Ham game is a must-win if Chelsea wants UCL

I believe most Chelsea fans have received that we will not be ending in the top four now this season. But there is still a tiny trust there from some.

For Chelsea to do so though, they easily have to beat West Ham on Saturday, because these are the sports they easily have to victory.

Chelsea would have had an eight-day relaxation by the time we face West Ham on Saturday, later sketching with Fulham last Friday.

We all thought the small break we had last time around would have a pragmatic crash, but it didn’t make a lot of divergences. It does give a prospect for the reoccurring injured players to get fitter, and the latest joinings to train more and learn more about what Graham Potter desire from them. So there are certainly positives from that.

Chelsea makes the short trip to West Ham on Saturday for the lunchtime kick-off in the Premier League, and it’s another big chance to restart our season and make a push back up the league table.

West Ham is in a relegation battle right now, and on paper, Chelsea is superior. But as I told you before Fulham if we desire to stand any chance at all of ascending back up the league and getting top six or top four even, then we easily HAVE to victory sports like Fulham and sports like this. There are no two ways about it. We can’t keep dropping points here.

West Ham has done a little better in their last couple of games as well. They got a draw as opposed to Newcastle, and before that, they beat Everton. So their belief levels are assuredly distant from rock bottom.

Chelsea has a new team and is trying to gel and build that rapport, as well as get the returning injured players back to match fitness.

In terms of results, I’m still relatively confident that we can get the three points. I got my belief thrown back in my mug by Chelsea last weekend, but I am keeping some wish that with the new signings and the returning wounded players getting back to fitness and having another week of training in them, we can do something here. But my main belief comes from Felix being back in. A player who truly takes shots and can make things cause.

Chelsea still has a slight chance of making the top four at this point, but no win on Saturday drastically reduces it.

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...
