Episode 184 - CHELSEA HUMILIATED 3-0 AT BRENTFORD - The Same Old Problems, a Defence That Cannot Think and Boehly Sells Up to Clearlake (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chelsea were taken apart 3-0 at Brentford in a defeat that laid bare every structural problem this squad still carries. Simon and Manny are furious, and this is one of the most pointed episodes of the season. When Chelsea's attack clicks, this team can beat anyone. When it does not — as at Brentford — they are alarmingly easy to beat, because there is nothing else holding the side together. Manny does not hold back on the defenders. The mistakes were not unlucky or unfortunate, they were basic,
Episode 183 - CHELSEA HELD AT HOME BY HULL - Familiar Weaknesses Return But Is This Still Progress Under Alonso? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chelsea were held to a frustrating draw at Stamford Bridge by a well organised Hull City side, and Simon and Manny break down a result that exposed all the familiar problems while still offering a glimpse of something better. Midfield issues. Defensive fragility. The same old story. But here is the thing — this is a game Chelsea would have lost last season. Is that progress? The hosts make a genuine case for patience with Xabi Alonso. The problems he inherited run deep, the squad still carries t
Episode 182 - CHELSEA HIT BACK TO BEAT LEEDS 6-3 IN THE CARABAO CUP - Palmer, Rogers, Welbeck and Barco Star in an Electric Second Half Turnaround (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chelsea produced one of the most extraordinary halves of football you will see all season, recovering from a diabolical opening 45 minutes to demolish Leeds 6-3 in the Carabao Cup. Simon and Manny break down a comeback that was as thrilling as it was necessary — a genuine shot in the arm for a fanbase still smarting from the weekend defeat at Arsenal. The praise flows freely. Cole Palmer was at the heart of everything good about the turnaround, pulling the strings and reminding everyone exactly
Episode 181 - DEADLINE DAY CHAOS - Enzo Fernandez Joins Man City for £125M as Monaco Torpedo the Lamine Camara Deal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Transfer deadline day delivered drama, money and a serious dose of frustration at Stamford Bridge. Enzo Fernandez has left Chelsea for Manchester City in a £125 million deal, and Simon and Manny do not hold back on a player they believe conducted himself appallingly on the way out the door. Good riddance is putting it politely. But the celebration of a huge fee is immediately soured by what came next. The Lamine Camara deal collapsed in the closing hours, with Monaco moving the goalposts at the
Episode 180 - CHELSEA SIGN EMI MARTINEZ FOR £7.5M - Sanchez Dropped, a New Number One Arrives and the Enzo Fernandez Exit Looms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chelsea beat Luton 2-0 in the Carabao Cup but nobody is talking about it, because Chelsea are signing Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa for £7.5m and it changes everything. Simon and Manny react to a deal that finally addresses the single biggest weakness in this squad — Robert Sanchez is no longer Chelsea's number one, and a World Cup winning goalkeeper with genuine elite pedigree is walking through the door for a fraction of his value. The hosts applaud the decision wholeheartedly. This is ex
