Morning all,
It’s the big one this evening - the fourth round of the FA Cup away at Liverpool! A chance of getting closer to wining some silverware, but how will both teams approach this one? Much rotation? Liverpool got many injuries? Find out all of that here.
You can get more Chelsea team news after Xabi Alonso’s press conference and quotes on that in here on yesterday’s Live Blog. This covers all your latest general Chelsea news as well.
Alonso has been under fire this week from some Chelsea fans (not all of them of course). What can we expect from Alonso’s Chelsea moving forward though? It took him time to change the style of play at Bayer Leverkusen but he got there - can he do it at Chelsea and what is the plan? Also in this sourced article here, how both Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho made themselves available for a Chelsea return recently!
Someone has also been talking some sense on Alonso here. Former Scout Mick Brown makes some very good points in this one. Refreshing to read.
Away from Chelsea, as an England fan, I was very happy for Harry Kane to win Ballon d’Or earlier this week. It’s much deserved, and it’s just nice to see a humble footballer win the award rather than one with a massive ego or a ‘stan’ favourite. Words here.
There will be NO Live Blog today I’m afraid. It’s half term and I’m taking my boy to go on Thomas The Tank Engine - we’re both buzzing! So no laptop and no time to do updates today. I will do a Blues News Report round up like I do on Sunday’s, later this evening ahead of the big game tonight! I will also obviously be covering the game too on the website.
Peace, Si.
