In part two we take comfort from another clean sheet and applaud Mendy, Silva and Kante, Kovacic and James in particular. We ask whether Werner needs a rest, discuss why and how Tammy needs to improve and with Pulisic and Havertz now fit again, wonder if Frank will change the TNT formula up front.

'T 'N' T: They're Dynamite!' Chelsea FanCast #770 Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Clayton Beerman and Dayne Whittle to look back at Saturday's 2-0 win against Newcastle.

On the show tonight, we look at a good 3 points won and the blossoming strike force that is TNT. We also praise the defence who are keeping more clean sheets than a monastery, but is the real reason for this the resurgence of N’Golo Kante?

In part two we praise another powerful performance from Reece James, and ask is complacency when Chelsea are so dominant an issue? We analyse the improvement Chelsea have made this season in terms of points won and ponder that the fixtures over the next 6 weeks could help to define the season.

In part three we look ahead to Tuesday night’s Champions’ League tie against Rennes. Should Frank go all out to win to put qualification to bed or look to rest some tired legs and minds?

We wrap up the show with some superb emails sent in by our loyal supporters for JK and Chidge to read out.
