Morning!
Hope you’ve had a decent start to your week as we enter the double digit days in November!
Plenty to chat about this week in the wake of our defeat to Sunderland on Sunday.
One thing I dislike seeing is Xabi Alonso insisting on a false 9. Why did we sign Danny Welbeck? Why do we have two 9s on the bench not being used? Both Pedro Neto and Morgan Rogers have been poor playing as a 9. I look into all of that here.
Levi Colwill was bullied so badly by Brian Brobbey that he got subbed off by Alonso and Moises Caicedo was moved to centre back to deal with the striker. That’s a real line in the sand moment in my view, and Colwill needs to step up. Words here.
Speaking of Colwill, he is the feature of one of two transfer rumour articles to finish things off for this newsletter. Colwill to Barcelona? Really? Well, it’s a new link, read about it here.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are being linked with Aston Villa midfielder Boubacar Kamara. What’s the story there then? Find out here.
And as we always do, I’ve rounded up all your latest general Chelsea news from the last 24 hours and put it all in the same place for your convenience here.
I also had the latest solo Podcast out yesterday, you can find that on YouTube here. Please do like the video and subscribe to our channel if you haven’t already!
See you all on the next Live Blog from around 8.45am today on the home page.
Peace, Si.
