Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back at a frustrating draw against Everton at the Bridge.In part one we ask why did Potter shut up shop at 1-0? Was it Brightonesque or an attempt at game management? We look at the substitutions. Gallagher for Pulisic? Why not Mudryk? Cheek for Kovacic and Chalobah for Fofana - understandable but Chukwuemeka for Felix? In part two we look at the poor defending by Koulibaly and Kepa's errors for Everton's 2nd goal. The result was frustrating and felt like a defeat and it seems like when Chelsea don't win the negativity starts. However, Chelsea looked fluid for much of the match, although still profligate and the defence was immense bar the two errors for the goals. So, are we getting in a stew about nothing? In part three we give a very warm welcome to Garry Hayes and Ceri Levy from The Chels podcast to talk about their new project: The Blueprint: How Chelsea FC Changed Football, a brand-new narrative podcast series covering the rise of

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Worrall to look back at Chelsea's 3-1 defeat of Leicester City.In part one with 3 goals and 3 wins on the trot we ask crisis, what crisis? Are Chelsea beginning to gel? Are key players returning making a difference? And are Kovacic and Fernandes becoming the glue that holds it together and if so how does Kante fit in?In part two we discuss the new arrivals getting better. We bemoan VAR the 'Karma Killer' with no-one celebrating Havert's superb goal. Also, VAR letting us down with the terrible foul on Felix going unpunished. We praise a rejuvenated Havertz and ask are Mount & Gallagher too good to let go?We sum up by looking at the apparent upturn in Chelsea's performances and ask have we and Graham Potter turned a corner and has this come about by playing the right system for the players.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Alex Churchill and Football.London Chelsea Correspondent Adam Newson to look back at a superb European night at Stamford Bridge against Borussia Dortmund and ahead to the Premier League match against Leicester City.In part one we look back at Chelsea's superb win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions' League. Apparently BVB are good, and we done good! Where did that performance come from? Stand out performances across the board especially from Chilwell, James, Havertz and Cucurella. Chelsea showed some much needed fight and we are pleased for Potter. Who next and can we win it?In part two we look ahead to Saturday's match against Leicester. We discuss Potter’s Presser and Chidge gives his team selection – will it be the same as it was for the Leeds match? We discuss Chelsea's defensive consistency and Capt. Kova. Leicester are mercurial at best but can Chelsea build on the last two wins? Is this another 6 pointer? We wrap up with our predictions. Hos

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan, Chair of the Chelsea Supporters' Trust, prolific Chelsea author and all round great bloke to look back at that rarest of things...A CHELSEA WIN!!!In part one we look back at a better performance in the 1-0 defeat of Leeds, bar the usual profligacy and a resort to Championship team tactics to hold on to the 1-0 lead. Talking of 'championship', why the lack of humour about a good old fashioned bit of gallows humour, something Chelsea supporters have been doing for years. And Chidge has found some shocking analysis of Chelsea's rubbish corners.In part two we applaud the performances of many of the players and ask if consistency of performance can be found in consistency of selection. Has a 1-0 win against Leeds given Potter a reprieve and it's remarkable what a win can do to cheer us all up and help the local economy judging by the busy Chelsea pubs after the game. JK and Chidge also report back on a fantastic afternoon spent with Paul 'Canners' Cano

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Clayton Beerman and Football.London Chelsea Correspondent Adam Newson to preview Chelsea v Leeds.In part one we discuss 'Potter's Presser', rue the latest injuries to Chelsea players and wonder why more pertinent questions are not asked in the pressers. We also discuss the announcement of the Fans Advisory Board and the latest on the redevelopment of Stamford Bridge.In part two we preview the Chelsea v Leeds match. Chidge's team selection has a 'make do and mend' feel about it but he suggests a change in formation. Is this another must win match and another relegation 6 pointer? Do we fear a new manager bounce from Leeds? And Javi Gracia has form against Chelsea. We wrap the show up with our predictions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to review another Chelsea match and another defeat, but this one, to Spurs, is indefensible. In part one, we look at Potter's team selection and bemoan Chelsea being incapabale of scoring. It seems an air of resignation has set in with the supporters. When we concede it's game over. Why are Chelsea so poor in adversity? No goals, no fight, no clue, it's a case of wash, rinse, repeat with nothing changing and we ask what’s the point?In part two, we ask why not play James and Chilwell at wing back, now we have 5 centre backs available? We discuss the strange rescinding of Ziyech's red card. Applaud Mount for being the only player who seems to get it and for showing some fight. We face up to the fact that 'it’s relegation form folks isn’t it' and why should we accept the process if the process is the wrong process? And for that matter, why should the owners?Happy days, not!

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Tony Glover and Football.London's Chelsea Correspondent Adam Newson to catch up on the Chelsea news and preview Spurs v Chelsea.In part one we give an appreciation of legendary football commentator, John Motson, who for many of us was the voice of football when we were growing up. Adam and JK report on Potter’s Presser and we ask what does Potter need to do to turn it round; what happens if he wins or loses next 3 matches and how much are Boehly and Co culpable for the current mess?In part two, Chidge reveals his team selection for the Spurs match. Should Potter go back to his Dortmund selection? Should Mount and James play as they get the himportance of the fixture. Will Conte's absence be agood or bad thing for Chelsea? Will beating Spurs help Potter in getting the fans on side and will he be able to get the players at it and up for it? We wrap up with out predictions for the match. Hosted on Acast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dean Mears to look back at a dreadful defeat at home to bottom of the league Southampton.In part one we discuss an indefensible performance, devoid of inspiration. Did Potter make too many changes? Is no consistency of selection hampering progress and has Potter been hamstrung by the need to protect players coming back from injury. There was no pattern, no organisation, no finishing and no clue and all this against a Southampton team bottom of the league, with an awful record and no manager. Simply unacceptable. Arguably of more concern was the injury to Cesar Azpilicueta who recieved a terrible kick in the head thanks to a badly directed overhead kick. .Our best wishes go to 'Dave' for a speedy recovery.And Chidge & JK have come up with a couple of songs to cheer you up or depress you further...In part two we ask is Potters out of his depth; not elite level and not the leader or personality Chelsea needs? Is he wasting players? I.e., making them worse? H

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan and from The Athletic, Liam Twomey to look back at Chelsea's defeat to Borussia Dortmund and ahead to the atch against Southampton on Saturday.In part one we discuss a horrible result, but a good performance and Mark’s experience of the Signal Iduna Park and the 'Yellow Wall'. Nine, nein, nein, as Chelsea just cannot put their chances away and the new boys and returnees beginning to make a difference and our hopes for the second leg. And Liam provides great insight with the media's view of Potter and his press conferences.In part two we discuss Chidge's team selection versus Potter's team selection. Saints are bottom, relegation bound, and have no manager – stop me if you’ve heard this before...We ask how do Chelsea solve their goal drought and we wrap up with our predictions. Hosted on Acast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dayne Whittle to look back at the 1-1 draw against West Ham and ahead to Wednesday's Champions' League match away to Borussia Dortmund.In part one we discuss a promising start fading and dying; Felix looking the real deal; did Cheek and Fernandes work and why didn't Cucurella and Mudryk not work? And should we be worried by James not yet looking back to his best.In part two VAR screws us again and should Potter have reacted more aggressivley to it? Joe Cole thought so. With Chelsea's form still not good enough, there are signs of improvement but are we being unrealistically impatient with Ponderous Platitudinous Potter?And in Part three we preview the match against Borussia Dortmund, talking to Ben McFadyean who runs the Borussia Dortmund London Supporters Club. We discuss BVB likely team selection, form and what the experience of Dortmund is like?We wrap up with Chidge’s team selection and how we see the match going. Hosted on Acast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dan Silver to catch up with the Chelsea news this week and look ahead to Saturday's match against West Ham.In part one we discuss the Mason Mount crowd surfer and toxic twitter; the ESL rears its ugly head again; is Chelsea membership a con and Potter's Presser.In part two we preview the Match against West Ham on saturday. We start with Chidge's Team selection and look at West Ham who have been in relegation form but are now improving just in time for the visit of Chelsea. Will Moyes' terrible record against Chelsea be a factor? What about Chelsea's awful away form this season? Chelsea's recent clean sheets show a sign of improvement with Potter perhaps building from the back but who can score the goals? If Chelsea win will we still be in the mix for Europe? And finally we give our predictions for the match. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
