Show notes

Chelsea FanCast on Love Sport Radio – the only 100% Chelsea show on the radio! Matt Beadle, Jonathan Kydd and Mark Worrall.

With the International Break upon us, we look back to last weekend's draw against Sheffield United where Tammy was on target again; Tomori & Gilmour debuted and Lampard possibly made some naive subs. But, should we be worried yet or it is just growing pains?

We discuss Chidge's 'half-term report' where Gold Stars are awarded to Mount; Abraham; Emerson; Jorginho and Kovacic. Kepa; Pulisic and Christensen could do better and Azpi; Zouma and Barkley find themselves in detention.

With the international break affording some time to reflect we ask whether the following should be on Lampard's to do list:

Get Kante, Rudiger, RLC, CHO, Kovacic & James fit.
Get the centre back partnership right.
Sort out the lack of leadership – Rudiger as Captain?
Get a tune out of Berkley.
Get the balance between attack & defence right

With Mason Mount lined up to be Chelsea's 48th England international, we look at Chelsea's England players now and then; discuss Chelsea fans history with England and how its changed and take a look at Chelsea players on international duty this week.

“Front foot? Back foot? Get on the good foot!” Chelsea FanCast #470 Sep 02, 2019

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Clayton Beerman to look back on a frustrating draw against Sheffield United and dissect the Champions' League draw from last week.

On the show tonight we discuss the positives of Chelsea getting on the front foot with Tammy Abraham impressing up front and Tomori at the back.

In part two, we look at Chelsea’s vulnerabilities when on the back foot, switching off again; ask is Azpi on the decline? Should we be worried about Barkley? Did the subs reveal Frank’s lack of managerial experience and why there are promising signs that Chelsea will eventually get on the good foot, not least with some talented youngsters at last getting a chance.

Show notes

Chelsea FanCast on Love Sport Radio – the only 100% Chelsea show on the radio! Matt Beadle, Jonathan Kydd and Dan Silver.

The lads look back at Chelsea's 3-2 win away at Norwich where Frank Lampard and Tammy Abraham got off the mark and discuss this week's Champions' league draw and Chelsea's home match against Sheffield United on Saturday.

With Chelsea getting their first win of the season against Norwich, how important was it for Frank to get off the mark last weekend? How important was it for Tammy to get off the mark with 2 goals? Mason Mount continues to impress & gets England call up and Kovacic impresses too but is the defence still a concern?

With the Champions' League draw pitting us against Ajax, Valencia and Lille; what do we think? Can we get out of the group? Who are the biggest threats? What would be a successful Champions League campaign?

In this week's 'Opposition View' we ask James Shield from the Sheffield Star, Chris Wilder – good manager & tactician and not be underestimated? With United playing on the front foot, tactically flexible with overlapping centre-back, how much of a threat will they be? With 24 goals last season, Billy Sharp is the main goal threat but United gave the ball away a lot in their defeat to Leicester last weekend; is that promoted sides Achilles heel?

Chelsea still have injury issues with Kante, Pedro and Rudiger all non-starters. Will Willian to feature in the Starting XI? Can Abraham and Mount do it again? What are out match predictions?
