The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Monday 8th April 2024!

Morning all,

I hope you all had a good weekend away from Chelsea ruining it?

The Blues could only manage a draw against bottom of the table Sheffield United on Sunday night, which is yet again another abysmal performance and result to add to the many we have already witnessed this season, yet the manager is still in charge…. I have my full review here.

I also had some articles written before the game, and we also had a deep dive tactical analysis on the Manchester United game from our in-house tactician, Seun. He has provided video and imagery in this one here, and I think as usual, he is completely spot on with his assessments in this.

I had the next article written before Seun’s, and we are basically saying exactly the same in this. I actually think many fans have noticed this as well in recent games, I mean it’s become hard not to. We are talking about the lack of control that Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea has on games. I don’t want to see 100 sideways passes in a game, but we do need much more control and to be less frantic. I dig into that here.

I’ve also got a positive reaction article from the Manchester United game, because as ever, I like to be balanced. And of course, we won the game and scored two late goals to do it, so of course we celebrate that! There is NOTHING like a last minute winner against United and also the scenes that followed. I’ve paid homage to that here.

I’ve rounded up all the rest of the general Chelsea news from Sunday in here. This will cover Pochettino’s post-match comments from the Sheffield United game, as well as other reactions, and anything else going around from yesterday.

I’ve got another exclusive article dropping later today around 1pm, and this time it is on interest being reignited in a former centre back target…. We also have Ben Jacobs’ latest exclusive inside Chelsea article out today!

Join me in the live blog from around 8.30am today!

Peace, Si.
