Chelsea FanCast on Love Sport Radio 06/12/19 Dec 06, 2019

Show notes

Stamford Chidge, Jonathan Kydd and Clayton Beerman join Matt Beadle to talk about Chelsea's transfer ban being lifted today and a look back at the win against Aston Villa in midweek and ahead to the match against Everton.

With the news on Friday that Chelsea's Transfer Ban has been lifted, we ask should Chelsea buy players in January and if so who and for what positions? Should the club be looking to buy quality or quantity and how will this affect the youth development?

With a return to winning ways against Aston Villa in the midweek game, it had a feeling of 'Groundhog Day' with Chelsea creating chances, but not taking them; being careless at the back & conceding as a result. But it was a much needed win and very entertaining but why did it have to be so tense?

Tammy was back on the score sheet & a Mason Mount scored a worldy so are Chelsea better when they both start? And why do opposition ‘keepers turn into Gordon Banks when playing Chelsea? Plus Ben joins us on the phone to discuss whether we need to buy another 'keeper to give Kepa some competition?

Looking ahead to the Everton match we have Paul McParlan from These Football Times to discuss whether or not Duncan Ferguson will provide the lift Everton need to beat Chelsea, having sacked Marco Silva.

All this plus our predictions for the match on Saturday!

“Iron Curtain” Chelsea FanCast #483 Dec 03, 2019

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd & Tony Glover to look back at the 1-0 defeat to West Ham and ahead to the midweek match against Aston Villa.

On the show tonight we ask whether the team selection was flawed or whether the profligacy up front was more of an issue.

In part two, we look at some of the individual performances and ask why Chelsea can’t convert their chances; put in a tackle worthy of a foul or come back from behind and we discuss whether the defeat to West Ham was in fact the reality check we all needed. We also look at last weekends Who Knows Wins match prediction league and reveal who the somewhat surprising winner was.

In part three, we read out this week’s emails.

In part four we have a look ahead to Wednesday night’s home match against another claret and blue team; Aston Villa and the return of John Terry.

Chelsea FanCast on Love Sport Radio 29/11/19 Nov 29, 2019

Show notes

Jonathan Kydd, Clayton Beerman, Dan Silver join Matt Beadle to talk about Chelsea's defeat to Man City in the Premier League last weekend; the draw against Valencia in the Champions' League on Wednesday and look ahead to Saturday's match against West Ham.

Looking back at Chelsea's draw against Valencia we ask was the draw enough; is qualification secured? How do we address the fallibility at the back & be more ruthless up front? And with Kepa getting stick – is it justified or not?

In last weekend's defeat to Man City did Chelsea fail the big test or are they exceeding expectations? Was Chelsea’s inexperience and naivete exposed? When will we beat a big team and does it matter?

Looking ahead to Saturday's match against West Ha, with Tammy out, who starts Michy or Giroud? Do we expect many other changes to the starting XI? And with No love lost between Frank & West Ham; a 3 O’clock KO & a London Derby – it should be spicy!

We also talk to former West Ham Director of Youth Development Tony Carr, the man responsible for bringing the likes of Frank Lampard and Joe Cole through from the youth team, to get his take on West Ham.

We wrap up with our match predictions.

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd & Dean Mears to look back at Chelsea's defeat to Man City and ahead to Wednesday nights Champions' League match against Valencia.

On the show tonight we try and figure out whether we are downhearted or uplifted by Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to City.

In part two, we ask should Reece James command a regular place at right back with Azpi at left back? Should we be worried about Kepa and can it be fixed with a different goalkeeping coach? And what improvements do Chelsea need to compete with the likes of City and Liverpool. Is Frank right to say “we’re coming”?

In part three, we read out this week’s emails but reveal the winner of the Art of Football Frank Lampard t-shirt competition.

In part four we reveal the winners of the Who Knows Wins match predictions league this weekend and to wrap up we have a look ahead to Wednesday night’s crucial Champions’ league match against Valencia.

Show notes

Stamford Chidge and Jonathan Kydd join Matt Beadle to look ahead to Chelsea's match against Man City on Saturday and discuss Jose Mourinho's move to bitter rivals Spurs.

With Jose Mourinho moving to Spurs we discuss how we feel about him managing our rivals and does he owe Chelsea fans some respect & vice versa? Are we worried that Mourinho will revitalise Spurs and get them a trophy?

Looking ahead to Chelsea's match against Man City will Frank pick Azpi or James? Will it be Jorginho; Kovacic & Kante in midfield? How worried about Aguero should we be? Can we exploit City down the flanks like Liverpool did?

In the 'Opposition View' we ask are there concerns about City's defence? And is Pep prioritising the Champions' League ahead of the Premier League?

We wrap up with our match predictions.

Jonathan Kydd and Alex Churchill join Matt Beadle to talk all things Chelsea.

Chelsea FanCast on Love Sport Radio 08/11/19 Nov 08, 2019

Show notes

Jonathan Kydd and Clayton Beerman join Matt Beadle to talk all things Chelsea.

Looking back to Chelsea's unbelievable draw against Ajax in the Champions' League; we discuss the remarkable comeback but should Chelsea have won? Was a draw disappointing? Reece James galvanised the side but should he start now with Azpi on the left? 3 Ajax goals from 1 shot on target doesn’t tell the 1st half story or does it and are there worries about Kepa?

Chelsea have got their never say die spirit back; Zouma’s run; 2 sending’s off; Jorginho’s pens; Azpi’s fire; was this the most mental game we’ve seen? Famous Four Fours from the past - Liverpool, Villa, Spurs, Sheff Weds we take a look back.And how is CL progression looking? Will it be tight? Is Valencia a must win?

Looking ahead to the match against Crystal Palace at the weekend, is Mount’s injury a concern or is it convenient with Kante fit again? Mike Dean is the Ref; VAR is Andre Marriner – what could go wrong? Palace were second best to Leicester last weekend but doing well; are they a threat?
