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

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 lef

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 ne

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

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

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 expect

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Alex Churchill to catch up on the Chelsea news and look ahead to Sunday's Carabao Cup Final against Liverpool.In part one we disuss Liam Twomey's article in The Athletic which asks the question "Can Chelsea afford to win the Carabao Cup?" and JK gives us his summary of today's Presser.In part two we preview Sunday's Carabao Cup Final against Liverpool kicking off with Chidge's team selection. 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?
