Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dean Mears to look back at a great comeback against Forest and ahead to Brighton on Wednesday.In part one we discuss a great What a comeback - Poch’s subs; Reece James back; limbs fell when Jackson scored. Is the fact that Chelsea have come from behind to win 5 times this season show a growing mentality. On the negative side, Chelsea couldn’t deal with Forest's physicality (fouls), directness and crosses as we conceded two poor goals. Aina and CHO looked good - did we make a mistake letting them go? Plus a shout out to Palmers pass and Mudryks finish and a shout out to Moises continued improvement. All we need now is for Newcastle to drop points against utd or Brentford and Chelsea to win against Brighton and Bournemouth.In part two we preview Brighton v Chelsea starting with Chidge's team selection. Does Poch have a selection dilemma? There's talk of Winstanley and Stewart wanting De Zerbi to take over from Poch because he has a connection to Mudryk and lots of Brazilians whilst coaching at Shakhtar Donetsk. But he's been piss poor at Brighton so why should we take him at Chelsea.Chelsea need to be on it - snapping into tackles; concentrating defensively; not giving the ball away on Wednesday night but Brighton should be a very different prospect to Forest. We wrap up with discussing how we see it going and give our predictions before another round of 'They Played For Both'.To get the best discount off your NordVPN plan go to https://nordvpn.com/chelseafancast.

Will the returnees from injury make the team? Should they? Can we keep up the momentum? Forest are fighting relegation and Oi Oi Oi Hudson Odoi and Gibbs-White will be a threat with Forest being tough to beat and playing on the counter.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back at a 5-0 hammering of the Hammers.In part one we applaud another great team performance with the emphasis on team. Is this down to having so few players to choose from? What happens when the injured return? The inverted poodle is working wonders Poch has got Chelsea playing great one touch football, scoring goals and defending well. And while it was great to see Silva back, Chalobah has been the understated hero at the back recently.In part two  we discuss Moises and Gallagher again, Palmer again ole ole and Madueke who was superb and is maturing. We discuss Jackson - has he got what it takes to become a top striker for Chelsea? We reveal that Chelsea's form over the last 20 games - over half a season - has us in 4th place. And it looks like we have a very good chance of getting European football next season. With all that in mind, surely Poch must stay? We conclude by aslking are we ending the season in optimism or trepidation that Egbahli will fuck it up over the summer? To get the best discount off your NordVPN plan go to https://nordvpn.com/chelseafancast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Tony Glover to look back at a great win against bitter rivals Spurs and ahead to Chelsea v West Ham on Sunday.In part one we discuss a great win and team performance against Spurs on Thursday night. Lots of standout performances - Cucurella, Madueke, Trevoh, Jackson but was it the best performance of the season? Does this win ease the pressure on Poch - lose and he would have been curtains, but his post-match comments were worrying. And with the superb Conor banner displayed before the match the club simply must not sell the likes of Conor and Trevoh. They are good enough and they get it. Finally, with 4 matches yet to play, dare we dream about Euro conference league football next season?In part two we look ahead to the match against West Ham on Sunday kicking off with Chidge's team selection followed by JK's Presser Summary. Chelsea has a good record in London derbies this season with W6 D2 L3. Chelsea are now above West Ham - Moyes possibly off - out of Europe - will they be on the beach or try and be a thorn in our side as usual? The stats look good for Chelsea both recently and with our record of one defeat to them at home since 2002. How will it go - we give our predictions.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Marco Worrall, Gate 17's finest, to look back at the draw against Villa and ahead to Spurs on Thursday night. In part one we look back at the draw against Villa, arguably our best performance of the season, where we showed the fight, passion, and good football lacking against Arsenal. Poch’s half-time tweak moving the Poodle inside, worked well. And we shoudl have won it had VAR not intervened to deny Disasi a winning goal. We ask VAR what is it good for? Moises was a Kante like revelation but we still need a DM and it’s not Enzo. Reece James anyone? Gallagher steps up again – Clearlake’s folly if they sell him. Mudryk MIA again – should he be sold/loaned? Poch showing some fight at last. And finally Thiago Silva: Obrigado E Adeus.In part two, we look ahead to Thursday night's match against Spurs. Chidge gives his team selection and reveals we are down to the bare bones. Can we maintain the standard? Playing Villa on Saturday was not a bad warm up for Spurs. Spurs are more bonkers than us butare dangerous. Can we exploit their high line? Will they be out for revenge? Will the players and manager get the importance? At the end of the day, we simply can’t lose to them.We look back at some of our favourite Chelsea v Spurs matches at the Bridge and wrap up with our predictions. To get the best discount off your NordVPN plan go to https://nordvpn.com/chelseafancast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back at a horror show against Arsenal and ahead to Saturday night's match against Aston Villa.In part one we ask why oh why did he pick Bagofshite and Disaster? Why pick Enzo if he’s carrying an injury? But we actually did ok in the first half - hung on in there, created chances (which we couldn’t finish). The second half was a shambles as we fell apart; poor defending again and worse, we gave up and as Poch said were “so soft”.It’s unacceptable isn’t it. It’s also hurts because it’s Arsenal and our heaviest defeat to them. With a record conceding goals 57 in a PL season and counting is the Bielsa affect on Poch in evidence? And with Pochs comments on what is neededm correct and necessary - will Clearlake heed them or fire and replace him? Maybe they should follow Arsenals model not Brighton’s.In part two we welcome back Justin Hawthorne from Up The Villa in The Opposition View. With Villa last English team in Europe - is this the priority or top four?And while Villa are in pole position for a place in the Top 4 are they worried about Spurs? With Olympiakos next week will this impact how Emery approaches Saturday? Is Justin worried about Chelsea given the result in the FA Cup? What does he think Emery's team selection and approach will be and what's his prediction.In part three we preview Aston Villa v Chelsea starting with JK's Presser Summary and Chidge's Team Selection. Can we, must we, bounce back from Tuesday night? How do we do it? Our record against Villa is good, but you can’t trust Chelsea at the moment. We have tough fixtures coming up - Villa, Spurs playing for top 4, West Ham shit but hate us, Brighton and Bournemouth bogey teams, Forest fighting relegation - how many wins/points do we see us getting?If we get humped by Villa and Spurs will Pochs position be untenable Should Winstanley and Stewart’s positions be untenable?We wrap up with our predictions.To get the best discount off your NordVPN plan go to https://nordvpn.com/chelseafancast.

Stamford Chidge, Jonathan Kydd and Dan Silver look back at a frustrating FA Cup final against Man City and ahead to Tuesday night's match against Arsenal.In part one we reflect on a disappointing and frustrating FA Cup semi-final against Man City. City were leggy and there for the taking - we were the better side for much of the game, but we couldn’t finish a shit. Poch's tactics were good - we took it to them, went long and wide and were good in the transition. It was a good performance. Jackson's poor finishing and Oliver not giving the penalty for Grealish's hand ball meant it was all very frustrating. We were the better side in a final again, poor decisions going against us cost us again; poor finishing let us down again; massive, missed opportunity again. When will we next get an opportunity?In part two we preview Arsenal v Chelsea on Tuesdaynight kicking off with JK's Presser summary and Chidge's team selection - how will we cope without Palmer and Gusto? Arsenal will be bang up for it but is their form failing? How good will it be to ruin their party? Will we be up for it or on the beach? How will it go?

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Clayton Beerman to look back at the thrashing of Everton and ahead to the FA Cup semi-final against Man City on Saturday.In part one, we look back at a great night against Everton. Palmer Again, Ole, Ole. Alfie Gilchrist he’s one of our own. Chidge got the team spot on and so did Poch.Brilliant performance, great football. Moises put in a good performance aided by Conor in the two. Silva and Chalobah worked. Even Jackson scored a good goal.We also discuss the Penalty Petulance and ask can Chelsea they kick on - are we daft asking this?In Part two we look ahead to the FA Cup semi-final against Man City. We start with JK’s presser summary, followed by Chidge’s team selection - shoudl we stick or twist? What are the differences from when we met last year, Chelsea has done well against City this season, can they build from that? Will City suffer from Madrid fall out?Will Chelsea's confidence be high after Everton? Does Chelsea's Wembley hoodoos only apply to finals, given we've won won five consecutive semi-finals in this competition and it's our 27th appearance in the FA Cup semi-finals, the third most in the competition’s history.We wrap up by discussing how will it go and give our predictions. To get the best discount off your NordVPN plan go to https://nordvpn.com/chelseafancast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dayne Whittle to look back at a very disappointing draw away to relegation bound Sheffield United.In part one we discuss one step forward, two steps back again; same shit, different day! By snatching a draw from the jaws of victory against lowly Sheffield Utd Chelsea once again showed a lack of leadership; lack of intensity; lack of ability; lack of football intelligence and a lack of motivation finessed with zero game management. But at least Silva and Madueke's fine goal provided some positives. In part two we ask questions of Pochettino. Did the change of formation work? Did he get the subs right? And what about his post match comments? Are the players really tired? Should they be? And why do they seem allergic to European qualification? Chelsea right now are reminiscent of the early '90's team poor against teams they should beat and great against teams they are not expected to beat. But should we be more patient? Right now it’s difficult isn't it?As we all know, it’s the hope that kills you.To get the best discount off your NordVPN plan go to https://nordvpn.com/chelseafancast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back at a crazy win against Man Utd and ahead to Sundays match against Sheffield Utd.In part one we look back at a crazy win against Man Utd in a euphoric Stamford Bridge. We discuss the great start but we knew it wouldn’t last.Stupid, stupid mistakes again by Moises and Badiashile – is there a case for Silva? The booing Mount and the Enzo v Mount clash. Palmer being superb and Madueke making an impact. And the old adage of never leaving early being proved again. Have Chelsea turned a corner? Nah, let’s just enjoy the joy!In part two, we welcome back Ben, the Travelling Blade in the Opposition View. We ask Ben has Chris Wilder made a difference? After conceding 80 goals this season, is teh Utd defence the issue? With Utd 10 points off 17th are they down with 8 games left? We wrap up asking Ben how he sees it going & what his prediction is.In part three, we preview Sheffield Utd v Chelsea. Kicking off with JK's Press Summary followed by Chidge's team selection. Should we stick or twist? Is their a case for Silva? Should Casadei start for Moises?The big question is will Chelsea a) not be up for it against a struggling team; b) fail to break down a team with a low block; c) shoot ourselves in the foot? Is Europe still within our grasp or should we stop talking about it? We wrap up by discussing how we see it going and give our predictions.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dan Silver to look back at Chelsea v Burnley and ahead to Chelsea v Man Utd.In part one we look at the inept finishing and faiing to break down a team in 19th position who were playing with 10 men for 55 minutes and the indefensible - ot defending the first goal; failing to defend another set piece goal and there should have been a third winning goal. Is the conclusion that some of our players are simply not good enough and likely never will be? We also discuss Neil Barnett's point to Pochettino about the possibility that players aged between 21 and 24 might not make it at a club.We wrap up part one comparing Chelsea's current midfield to various Chelsea midfield combinations between 1991 and 2024. Is our failure to dominate midfield the root of problem?In part two we salute Cole Palmer, the exceptional exception and Malo Gusto - two Clearlake signings who are definitely good enough. Frank LeBeouf seems to be channeling his inner JK and is not happy, but where is Poch in all this - is his position now indefensible? And with no European football next season is a storm brewing? Anyway, bollocks to the football, we had a great day off the pitch on Saturday and Chelsea for us is all about the people we go with and meet throughout the day.The worse it gets on the pitch the better it seems to be off it.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Marco Worrall to look back at the FA Cup quarter final win against Leicester City.In part one, Raheem Sterling discuss! Should Poch have picked him in the first place? Is it a lack of confidence? Is it selfishness. The pen and free kick miss were very, but was it also poor captaincy in letting him take them in the first place? Either way we should never boo a Blue.We say well done to the Super poodle and Ice Cold Palmer, but we should have been 4-0 up at half time and it should have been all over at 2-0 but…We discuss the Disasi honorary Frank Sinclair own goal. Could Sanchez have done anything with the equaliser? He was skittish again - why does Poch pick him when Petrovic is clearly better. In part two we discuss Poch's subs - too late or spot on? Mudryk deserved to stay on; Chuk; Madueke with two superb goals and Chilwell made a difference but how much difference did the red card make? Chelsea showed character to come back and win 4:2 even if they left it late? And with Gusto, Palmer, Jackson, Mudryk, Gallagher, Moises all getting better - are we turning a corner…slowly.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd look ahead to Sunday's FA Cup quarter final clash against Leicester City.In part one JK gives us his summary of today's press conference. He watches them so we don't have to!In part two we welcome Chris from Leicester Til I Die for The Opposition View. We ask Chris how has life been back in the Championship? How have Leicester dealt with key players being sold? Does it piss him off when Chelsea buy Leicester players such as Chilwell, Kante, Drinkwater & Fofana. Is returning to the PL more important than winning the FA Cup? How will Leicester approach it and what's his score prediction.In part three Chidge & JK preview the match kicking off with Chidge's team selection. We discuss why the FA Cup is massive for Chelsea and our good record in the Cup against Leicester. Will it boil down to who wants it more? We discuss how we think it will go and give our predictions.

Stamford Chidge, Jonathan Kydd & Clayton Beerman look back at Monday night's win against Newcastle United.In part one, it was great to get an early goal with Jackson scoring his 9th of the season. Is there is hope we've found a goalscorer? Talking of which, Palmer is fantastic and scored his 11th of the season. Gusto is growing into a top player and Mudryk scored a wonder goal - maybe there is a footballer there after all? In Cucurella and Sterling we saw the good, the bad and the ugly with Cucurella having a decent game, bar his involvement in both Newcastle goals and Sterling wastful and disinterested - and that's being kind. ? It seems Chelsea are now both scoring and leaking goals. Are we attacking more and leaving the defence open? Is Silva’s wise head is missed? In part two Chelsea were better all night than Toon but left the door open. Poch’s subs worked and it was good to see Chuk back and Casadei looks good. We are still 11th but closing the gap - can we scrape into a European place. They need to stop being consistently inconsistent. Will returning players help? What would be acceptable this season? Top 7 and an FA Cup trophy? And will it be enough to keep Poch in a job? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan to look back at another Jekyll and Hyde performance by Chelsea, against Brentford.In part one we discuss Pochettino playing 3 at the back and no Sterling. Was it to protect the space around Enzo and Moises and if they’re knackered, why not play someone else, like Casadei for example? We discuss the two sides of Jackson as he misses a sitter laughably, scores a great goal, and then rounds it off with ego nonsense with the shushing but...he never gives up!! It was a poor second half as Chelsea conceded twice. Is it a lack of concentration? taking the foot off the gas? Poor mentality? The statistics bear out how poor we are in the second half - first half top six; second half relegation zone!But we did claw it back, well done Disasi but we should never have had to against a poor Brentford side. Same old Chelsea this season Jekyll and Hyde...Caviar and Turds.In part two we ask has Poch lost the away support? There were audible chants against Boehly and Poch and for Abramovich and Mourinho. Is Poch a goner - does he have himself to blame - he’s not endeared himself to the fans or made much effort to engage with them? If he was to go would it be the right decision? Would it take us back to square one? He hasn’t lost the dressing room so shoudl he go? And whose fault is it really - Putin? Boris Johnson's Tory Govt? Sunak and Dorries? Boehly and Clearwater? Fundamentally, this all changes if we were winning doesn’t it - a chant for Roman and Jose is a cry for the return to a winning Chelsea. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back at the win against Leeds in the FA Cup and ahead to Brentford v Chelsea on Saturday.In part one we look back at the FA Cup win against Leeds. A great last gasp win and winning against hated rivals is what it’s all about but…was it really a shocking performance? Chelsea are confusing for any fan at the moment - on occasion the most brainless Chelsea team we’ve ever seen with unforced errors, poor touch and passing and conceding criminal goals, but capable of the three great goals they scored. Mudryk at 10 was interesting to see; Sterling on the other hand looks like he doesn't want to be there. Thankfully Conor Gallagher came to the rescue in the last few minutes with a cracking goal to send Chelsea to the quarter finals against Leicester. In part two, we welcome back Greville Waterman, Brentford author, for The Opposition View. We ask Greville where has it all gone wrong for Brentford this season - 13 defeats in the last 17 matches - is it simply injuries? With Brentford 5 points from the relegation zone is there pressure on Frank? Brentford unbeaten in last 4 v Chelsea and have kept clean sheet in last 3 - do they have a hoodoo against us? What difference does Toney make - is he off in the summer - where to? How will the match go and what is Greville's prediction.In part three we preview Brentford v Chelsea with JK's presser summary and Chidge’s team selection. Is it time to give one of Enzo, Moises and Conor a rest? What do we do about Sterling? Our poor recent record v Brentford needs to change, and they have their 1st choice back 5 out and awful recent form so surely Chelsea can put a decent win and performance together? We wrap up discussing how the match will go and what is our prediction. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge, Jonathan Kydd & Dean Mears look back at a miserable Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool.In part one we discuss massive frustration and massive disappointment as Chelsea have now lost 6 of their last 6 Wembley finals – a horrid record, but it pre-dates Clearlake. A nervy start didn’t help and too many players making basic errors. Was Sterling’s goal offiside? Should Van Dijk’s goal have been disallowed? But Chelsea had more than enough chances to win it. Was it a case of poor finishing or good goalkeeping? Chelsea were the better side in the second half but what happened in Extra Time? Was it the subs? The players settling for pens or a lack of belief?In part two we ask how much of this is on Poch and how much on the players? Will Poch win us a trophy? Does Poch have a future at Chelsea? Was it really a horrible atmosphere? And we discuss the fallacious Scouse Youth argument and Liverpool love in and Gary Neville’s Blue Bottle Jobs remark. And whilst it was a good day out, with no expectationa, is that really enough?In part three we preview Chelsea v Leeds in wednesday's FA Cup match. We kick off with JK’s Presser Summary and Chidge’s team selection. But it's Dirty Leeds, History. The atmosphere will be febrile. The Bamford factor, Georginio and Piroe are decent and Leeds recent form is decent.Strangely the last FA Cup match between the two sides was the infamous 1970 FA Cup final.  If we lose our season is over. Can they pick themselves up? We wrap up by discussing how’s it going to go and our predictions.

We discuss if this final will be déjà vu from the 2005 Carling Cup Final? Will Chelsea be repeating History, not Wallowing in it? How important would winning it be? Our luck has to change having lost 6 out of our last 7 Wembley finals. We also discuss the Liverpool Love in; can Poch shake the loser mentality? Who are the bigger underdogs?

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Marco Worrall to look back at a great Chelsea performance against Man City.In part one we applaud a great Chelsea performance, redolent of Chelsea v Barcelona from days gone by; tactically disciplined, counter attacking brilliantly and defending like demons. Did this young team come of age on Saturday? Massive shout outs to the defence - Disasi a rock; Colwill assured; Gusto superb; Chilly back to his best; should this be the defence going forward? Can or should Gusto keep James out when he's fit? The midfield were superb; Moises was tenacious and did well not to get a 2nd yellow; Enzo was here, there and every fucking where; Gallagher was imperious and snuffed out Rodri. In attack Palmer was ice cold as per; fair play to Sterling with a great goal and Jackson with a great assist and good work all match.In part two we ask are we better as a counterattack team, getting the ball forward quickly, mixed with long balls makes us more threatening but it doesn’t work against low block teams? But we still struggle to finish and need a striker. Nkunku was poor when he came on, struggling to adjust to the pace of the game, perhaps not match sharp but he didn’t help with the defence. Chelsea fought like a team and it looks like a bond and understanding is growing. The fight and spirit was good to see and is something to build on. But did Poch do the right thing - should we have gone for the win? 5 at the back made sense as City were getting round the back. Jackson and Palmer on yellow cards was perhaps an issue, but was it negative or sensible?When all is said and done, Poch got the tactics and selection right while Pep is salty and still bald. Does this performance give us hope if not expectation against Liverpool next weekend? Most thought we’d get hammered v City so this performance should give us confidence.   Don't forget to sign up to our EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/chelseafancast Try it risk-free Hosted on Acast.

We ask David what he thought of the 4:4 in November? Is he surprised by how well Palmer has done and does he have any regrets? With Haaland & De Bruyne back is it full steam ahead for a treble? Is he worried about FFP infractions, points deduction, relegations? Are there any weaknesses Chelsea can exploit? And how does he see the match going?In part three we preview Man City v Chelsea. We kick off with JK’s Presser Summary - JK watches the presser so we don't have to! Chidge gives his team selection. Will Sanchez return? Wil Sterling start? Will Poch stick with 4:2:3:1? Will Casadei get some minutes? Will the real Chelsea stand up ir are we still a Jeckyll & Hyde side? Will Chelsea be brave – should they be? Should the 4:4 give us hope? The recent stats are very much against us. We discuss how we see it going and wrap up with 'They Played for Both'. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Clayton Beerman to look back at a great turnaround away to Crystal Palace on Monday night.In part one, we discuss a horrible first half, but was it all down to Silva starting? With Enzo all over the place, Caicedo hapless, Madueke consistently inconsistent and only Gusto showing up, Chelsea found themselves 1-0 down at half-time. Thanks to Palace playing Bob Marley's 'Three Little Birds' while waiting for referee Michael Oliver to come out after the break, Chelsea supporters gave a full throated rendition of it for much of the second half - reminiscent perhaps of Chelsea v Napoli back in 2012. But did this give the players the lift they needed? Conor Gallagher scored two great goals at the beginning and end of the second half and Enzo's goal was the cream on top of the cake in a 3-1 win. A shout out to Petrovic too for some great saves that kept Chelsea in it but perhaps the biggest shout out should go to the away fans, for some great vocal support epitomised by Disasi leaping in to the Chelsea away section and getting mobbed. Shame JK got trampled under foot in the process!In part two we welcome back old friends Ceri Levy and Garry Hayes, from the Blueprint podcast to talk about the forthcoming release of more epsiodes of their superb series on Chelsea, including the full interviewswith Glenn Hoddle, Colin Hutchinson, Roberto Di Matteo, John Terry and Joe Cole.The series is part of a new platform called The Sideline, bringing fans, players and journalists together.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back at a much needed win and performance to knock Aston Villa out of the FA Cup and look ahead to Monday night's match against Crystal Palace.In part one we look back at a great night at Villa Park. Was it the best performance of the season and where did that come from? It was like Chelsea from the past: intensity, strong, aggressive, desire, team effort, compact and tactically superb. Much credit should go to under pressure Pochettino. Disasi and Gusto were superb and Enzo and Moises ran the match. And the away support was fantastic.But is it a coincidence that we played better without the dropped Sterling and Silva? Chelsea played higher up the pitch; the defence, midfield and attack were closer together which made the defence less exposed and the passing forward quicker and easier and without Sterling we looked more direct without running in to blind alleys, falling over or giving the ball away. Bring on Dirty Leeds, but we need consistency now!In part two we welcome back Hambo from Back of the Nest for the Opposition View. We ask him on a scale of 1-10 how angry are Palace fans at the moment? Is it all Hodgsons fault? What’s his experience of the American owners? What are his thoughts on Conor Gallagher? How big a miss will Marc Guéhi, Michael Olise & Eberechi Eze be, all out injured?While recent history is on Chelsea’s side, given our inconsistency does he fancy Palace's chances and how does he see it going and what's his prediction?In part three we preview Crystal Palace v Chelsea kicking off with JK’s summary of today's Presser, followed by Chidge’s team selection. With Chelsea being consistently inconsistent how can we get the consistency we need? While Chelsea have a nasty habit this season of following up a good result with a poor one, we do have history on our side with this fixture and Palace have lost Guehi, Eze and Olise which will be a big problem for them.We wrap up with how we see it going and our predictions, and another round of 'They Played For Both'Don't forget to sign up to our EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/chelseafancast Try it risk-free Hosted on Acast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan to look back at a shambolic defeat at home to Wolves and ahead to Wednesday night's FA Cup replay away to Aston Villa.In part one, another great day out ruined by the football. Caice-doh evens the score. No fight; no intelligence; no identity; no style; no clue; no hope - it really is this bad isn’t it? Will they sack Pochettino? Would he deserve it? Jose not the answer. What’s going on behind the scenes? Winstanley & Stewart need to go, but the finger of blame points to Begdhad Egbahli – how do we hold him to account?In part two we welcome back Justin Hawthorne from Up the Villa for the Opposition View. How confident is Justin after the 5-0 win at Sheffield? It was much closer at the Bridge than we all predicted; we couldn’t score of course, but thought Villa were too cautious until we tired. Chelsea have been terrible since – what’s Justin's thoughts? History is on Chelsea’s side but...Justin tells us how he thinks it will go and gives us his prediction. In part three Chidge gives us his team selection and he has a plan! How do we bounce back from last week – can we? Chelsea have terrible away form and Villa are virtually impregnable at Villa Park and it does not bode well.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Clayton Beerman to look back at an infuriating defeat away to Liverpool and ahead to a chance to redeem themselves against Wolves on Sunday.In part one we look back at the horrible defeat to Liverpool in midweek. How crucial was the denial of two stone cold penalties to the outcome of the match? That said we were basically awful - outclassed, out thought and out fought and didn’t compete for more than about 15 minutes. The only bright spots were Petrovic again and Nkunku’s goal.We are so far off it. The recruitment, ownership and players are simply not good enough but Poch is also culpable, but if we get rid of Poch who would we get now? So far has the club fallen, under Clearlake, from the standards at Chelsea we are accustomed to, most probably average English young managers or unknown European managers but no one of the elite level we are used to. In part two we look ahead to Sunday's match against Wolves kicking off with JK's summary of the presser and Chidge's team selection. But with Broja sent out on loan to Fulham who do we play up front and is it a good decision to reduce our striking options even further?With Wolves 2 points behind us in 11th, this IS a mid table clash, but we are only 6 points off 6th place - can we begin to make up ground on Brighton, Newcastle, Man Utd and West Ham? After all they are as flakey as Chelsea.Wolves are in good form but not in London or away from home; Chelsea hava a great track record against Wolves and are unbeaten at home since 1979. As ever it will no doubt depend on which Chelsea turns up? Will we get it right tactically? Will we be up for it?
