Why Batshuayi MUST start against Norwich this Saturday

There is no doubt in my mind, after watching the first three games of Chelsea's season, that we need a striker with fresh ideas and someone to make a name for himself. I believe that Michy Batshuayi is by far the perfect candidate to lead the line for Chelsea and here's the reasons why. 

Why does he deserves his chance?

Since Michy joined, he has been involved in some pretty big moments of games for Chelsea that maybe you don't quite remember. 

Let's start from the beginning- In his debut for Chelsea, he already had a major impact by assisting Diego Costa's last minute winner against West Ham with a powerful headed flick on. 5 days later, Chelsea go 1 - 0 down to Watford away with 23 minuets left on the clock. Batshuayi is brought on and not only does he equalise the scoreline in the 80th minute but inspires Chelsea to a  2 - 1 victory whilst also grabbing himself Man of The Match in just 20 minutes. 

Michy's Title Winning Goal VS West Brom 
And if you Chelsea fans can remember, Michy is already engraved in a big part of our history. On May 12th 2017, Chelsea needed 3 more points to win the title with 10 minutes of the game remaining. But who is the player to step up and clinch us our FIFTH Premier League title? Michy Batshuayi. This man has literally won us a Premier League title and yet he still hasn't been given the run of matches he deserves. Batshuayi finished the season with 5 Premier League goals in just 236 minutes of play. That's a goal every 47 minutes if you didn't know.

Why should he get ahead of Abraham or Giroud?

As much as I adore Tammy Abraham and how I want him to do well for Chelsea, he's clearly not ready. I think this chance has come way to early for him and another year on loan at Villa would of been best for his development. I love that he had the confidence to take that final penalty against Liverpool in the shoot-out where lots of players could easily of hid away! But I think the games he's featured in shows maybe he is still a Championship tier player.

For Giroud, I don't think he quite fit's Lampard's style of play. Lampard prefer's a team with energy that can close the ball down quickly and keep pressure on the opposing team. I don't think Giroud's stamina can last the majority of the match, I don't think he is quick enough to make those runs between the lines and is overall pretty heavy. But undeniably his hold up and link up play with other players around him is special, which is why I feel he would be more suitable as a super-sub rather than a starter.

Will he succeed if given the chance?

In my opinion, yes I do. He's shown for Chelsea that he can be a impact sub off the bench and he has also shown that he can score when starting. In his first ever start for Chelsea, he netted two goals and scored a hatrick against Nottingham Forest in 2017.

I feel that if you put faith into Michy, he will deliver. When he was at Borussia Dortmund, he played 10 straight games (playing the full 90 in all of them) and scored 7 times with 1 assist before missing the final four games through injury. 


I think that Batshuayi and Pulisic previously playing together at Dortmund can work into Chelsea's favour seeming as they both know how one another want's to play and I feel like it will help Pulisic settle into the Premier League easier.

Will Batshuayi be confident enough?

I think this recent Tweet tells you all you need to know about how The Batsman is feeling!

He silenced rumours about leaving Chelsea this summer with reports understanding he is confident enough to stay and fight for his place!

He played in the Premier League for the last part of the season at Crystal Palace, netting 6 goals in 13 appearances which at Palace's level is pretty decent.

My personal opinion is that he is ready to lead the way. I just sure hope Frank gives him the opportunity of a good run of games to allow him to express himself.

Fernando Torres- Is he one of Chelsea's most important EVER players? With legendary striker, Fernando Torres, preparing to retire from football after 18 glorious years, I will be telling you why I think he is up there with some of Chelsea's most important EVER players. European Nights When it comes to Fernando Torres and European goals, they pretty much go hand in hand, especially with his time at Chelsea...                                                         2011/12 Torres hopping over Victor Valdes  It was the 24th of April 2012, Chelsea played Barcelona away in the Semi Finals of the Champions League with the tie currently at 2-1 to Barcelona but Chelsea were still going through due to away goals. The then interim manager, Roberto Di Matteo, turned to Torres for some fresh legs in the dying moments of the game. And what a iconic substitute it turned out to be. After an Ashley Cole clearance, the ball landed straight to the feet of Fernando Torres

Is Frank Lampard getting the credit he truly deserves?

Is Frank Lampard getting the credit he truly deserves? Chelsea fans everywhere knew what a tough season ahead it would be. With the loss of their greatest ever player, Eden Hazard, a transfer ban and losing manager, Maurizio Sarri, to Juventus. It's fair to say morale was low at Stamford Bridge. Frank Lampard becomes Chelsea manager The Chelsea board knew they had to restore the passion in the club. Fans were split about Chelsea's style of play, with half the fans calling Sarri out and the rest wanting him to stay.  The appointment of Frank Lampard changed everything. A promise of academy players to be injected into the squad, something the previous Chelsea manager lacked at doing. Callum Hudson - Odoi and Ruben Loftus -Cheek were stand out players for Chelsea last season but due to their age, Sarri favoured a more experienced line up.  It has taken the perfect storm for Chelsea to finally accept their youth products with Lampard introducing 12 new academ

Chelsea fans must look at the bigger picture when it come to Tariq Lamptey

Chelsea fans must look at the bigger picture when it comes to Tariq Lamptey Tariq Lamptey was Frank Lampard's eighth academy graduate to make their professional debut alongside Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori, Reece James, Billy Gilmour, Marc Guehi, Ian Maatsen, and Tino Anjorin. Willing to commit their future to Chelsea, Tariq Lamptey had other plans to further his career. Chelsea celebrating their 2-1 win over Arsenal at the Emirates  Lamptey made his debut, coming off the bench at the Emirates, to help inspire a 2-1 win over Arsenal in late December. Frank Lampard and Jody Morris had hoped by parachuting him into such a huge fixture, it would convince the teenager to agree on his future with the London Club. But Lamptey could see through that.  We don't know but it's clear Lamptey demanded first-team football but with the likes of Captain, Cesar Azpilicueta, and fellow graduate, Reece James, ahead in the pecking order. It was obvious the chances of getting a
