“We Have Assumed Control” Chelsea FanCast #802 Mar 09, 2021

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Mark Worrall and Mark Meehan to look back at the 2-0 win against Everton.

On the show tonight, we discuss Tommy Tuchel rolling the bones and getting his selection spot on; we ask how much credit does he deserve; what’s he got right and what’s he got wrong and can he take us higher than top four?

In part two we delight in Kai Havertz finding his feet and despair in Werner having two left feet. And with Callum Hudson-Odoi impressing as one the two 10’s is he a better option there or as a wing back?

In part three JK and Chidge answer your Discord questions and read out the emails sent in by our faithful listeners this week.

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Mark Worrall to discuss a superb win against Liverpool and look ahead to Monday's match against Everton.

Adam Newson from Football.London joins us report back on Chelsea's 1-0 win away to Liverpool. Unbeaten since his arrival is it time to take Tuchel seriously? We also discuss the re-emergence of Andreas Christensen; ask whether balls over the top to Werner is the key to scoring more goals and bemoan VAR ruining football.

Everton's Official Statistician, Gavin Buckland, joins us for the 'Opposition View' to discuss Chelsea v Everton from the Toffee's perspective. What does Gavin think about Everton's abysmal record at Stamford Bridge? How is Everton's form compared to Chelsea? Is this another 6 pointer with a top place at stake? How does Gavin see the match going?

Finally, we have our own preview of Chelsea v Everton. Is this another must win match for Tommy Tuchel? Will it be more of the same or will Everton present a different tactical challenge? How do we find our goal scoring boots and how do we see the match going?

“Uncomfortably Numb” Chelsea FanCast #799 Mar 01, 2021

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Clayton Beerman and Dan Silver to look back at frustrating 0-0 draw against a tetchy Man Utd and ahead to this week's big match against Liverpool.

On the show tonight, we discuss Tuchel’s risk free football and ask whether we are currently watching a hybrid of possession based Sarri-ball and Mourinho-eque dare not lose football? We also ask is the lack of creativity due more to a loss of form of Chelsea’s creative players or is it systemic?

In part two we applaud the improvements in Rudiger and Christensen in making Chelsea more defensively solid as well as praising Kante and Kovacic for tigerish displays in midfield. We ask could Mount be the solution to the midfield problem and with a run of tough matches coming up how much pressure is on Tuchel to start winning and winning well.

In part three we preview Thursday night’s big Premier League match where Chelsea goes to Anfield to play a wounded Liverpool.

BBC Match Day reporter and Man Utd fan, Aaron Paul joins us for 'The Opposition View' on Man Utd, our next opponents. Has sticking with OGS been vindicated? Has Fernandes been the difference for Utd? Is De Gea a liability and how does Maguire keep getting away with it? Aaron discusses how he sees Sunday's match going.

Finally, we have our own preview of Chelsea v Man Utd. Given Utd's attacking nature, does Tuchel start Jorginho? How do Chelsea stop Utd's counter-attacks and nullify Fernandes? With Chelsea's recent wastefulness up front, does Tuchel start Giroud or Tammy up front? We wrap up by explaining how we see the match going and give our predictions.

On the show tonight, we give sainthood to Mount and Kante for their high-quality performances and debate whether Callum Hudson-Odoi was the sinner or the sinned against.

Steve Grant from the Total Saints podcast joins us to give 'The Opposition View' on Southampton, our next opponents. With 6 defeats in their last 6 Premier League matches, what has happened to Saints after a good start this season? With injuries to Walker-Peters, Walcott and Diallo how does Steve see Saints overturning Chelsea's record of 5 matches unbeaten at St Mary's?

Finally, we have our own preview of Southampton v Chelsea. Should we be worried by Southampton's high press? With a massive improvement in goals conceded since Tuchel's arrival how do we increase the goals scored. Would staring Kai Havertz up-front be a solution?
