Chelsea back line in need of desperate reshuffle... Its not the first time this season Chelsea's back four has been up for criticism, It's been a problem for Frank Lampard ever since he arrived. First move Lampard made with his defence was showing Chelsea legend, David Luiz, the door after just a month in charge. Now as this season draws to a close, it's time for Lampard to hit some more home truths, as mistakes are mounting up. So let's start from each position... Goalkeeper Chelsea signed Spanish goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, for a world record transfer goalkeeper fee of £71.6m. The hope was that he was going to be the next David De Gea, a young goalkeeper to be the backbone of this Chelsea squad for the next 7 years.  Admittedly, I feel as though Kepa had a good first season for Chelsea. He had won us two penalty shoot outs, one coming in the Europa League Semi-Final against Eintracht Frankfurt and another coming in the League Cup Semi-Final VS ...

Why Batshuayi MUST start against Norwich this Saturday Batshuayi playing against Liverpool U23's on Monday Nigh t 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 v...

IS TIME UP FOR AZPILICUETA? For the last 7 seasons Cesar Azpilicueta has probably been Chelsea's most consistent, most reliable and most flexible defender at the club. But with a poor start to the 2019/20 season and youth possibly catching up behind him - but is his Chelsea career coming to an end?   Career at Chelsea Azpilicueta joined the then Champions of Europe for a fee of £6.5 million from Marseille and won the Europa League in his opening season being a key player in the competition and starting right back in the final.  He then went on to overtake the recent retiring Chelsea legend Ashley Cole in the pecking order at left back which left lots of Chelsea fans not too pleased with Cole then subsequently losing his England place too. Mourinho in the past had been known to take important club players out of the starting XI before they demised previously doing the same at Real Madrid with goalkeeper Iker Casillas. But despite this, Azpilicueta soon sho...

CHELSEA 1 - 1 LEICESTER CITY  REVIEW   It was not the result Frank Lampard would of wanted on his return to The Bridge with a disappointing 1-1 draw against a fellow top 6 competitor. There was still a shining light in the game with Mason Mount getting on the scoresheet for his first ever professional Chelsea goal but Lampard's Chelsea still remain without a win...  Match Review... Right from the whistle Chelsea looked on top. We were pressing quickly, our passing was slick, we were competing and winning every ball in the air and were finally rewarded with a fantastic Mason Mount solo goal in the opening 7th minutes when Mount tackled holding midfielder N'didi to go on and finish the ball whilst appearing to trip over.  It was a good start... up until the 35th minute. Chelsea seemed to of left the door ajar and allowed pressure to rise leaving Leicester with lots of possession in the last 15 minutes of the first half and were causing some alarmin...

SUPER CUP REVIEW  LIVERPOOL 2 - 2 CHELSEA (5-4 PENS) It was a heartbreaking night for Chelsea fans everywhere. After such a disappointing display at Old Trafford on the weekend, a win against Liverpool would of lifted hope for the upcoming season and taken off pressure from Lampard with an early trophy but unfortunately and unfairly , lost 5-4 on penalties due to a Tammy Abraham missed penalty. My Thoughts On The Game... From start to finish (120th minute) Chelsea were by far the better side. I thought the line up was a much better improvement compared to the side against United on Sunday with more experience coming from Giroud and Kante but of course any team with Kante in it is always going to improve! It was hard luck, we played some excellent football and competed with the best side in Europe and outplaying them too! There were elements of #SarriBall in last nights game going to a 4-3-3 with Kante playing in a similar a role to last season...but it seemed as...
