Not seen a performance better than this across this campaign. Yes we had our faults but this season grows in appreciation the worse we get. This was the new Chelsea that was meant to be the beginning of something. Instead it got flushed away within 18 months.

Episode 035: How Palmer Has Become One Of The Best Young Players In Europe! 👀

This week on The Breakdown, I took a close look at the tactics & data behind Palmer’s outstanding season so far for the Blues and why he's one of the best young talents in Europe! 🔥

Watch below 👇

Chelsea’s financial accounts up to June 30th 2023 will be released in the next 10 days.

I'd say that is a fairly balanced TOTS. Palmer deserves recognition for carrying us this season.

Malo Gusto even if he doesn't make the cut deserves a mention. What changes would you make to this team? #Ad #CFC

Interesting on the transaction list published by The FA. It states that Mudryk had an 'updated contract' at some point in the past year. Also confirms that Lewis Hall also had an 'updated contract' #cfc

Chelsea spent £75.14m. Whilst Man City paid just over £60.5m, Man Utd with £34m & Arsenal £24.76m. [FA]

Genuinely crazy....

🚨Chelsea paid the most in intermediary/agent fees between 1st Feb 2023 - 1st Feb 2024. The club spent £75.14m. [FA] #CFC

Update:

Pochettino says this current Chelsea team “lack maturity” but will get over it in time. #CFC

Pochettino says it’s not fair to judge players whilst we don’t have a fit squad. Adds it’s not an excuse. #cfc

Pochettino says Ugochukwu could be back in the next few weeks.

Pochettino agrees that Chelsea have one of the best in terms of Academy. #CFC

Pochettino believes Enzo’s & Disasi’s injuries aren’t massive issues. Not sure if he will be available on Monday. #CFC

Pochettino says Chilwell is in partial team training. Hoping to at least be on the bench on Monday. #cfc

Interesting Enzo has now picked up his 2nd injury for Chelsea (both this season) but seemed to go through a winter World Cup and 6 months with Potter/Lampard without getting injured.

Disasi now under medical assessment for his first ever injury in senior club football.

Chelsea’s only fit centre backs:

Thiago Silva, Chalobah, Badiashile, Gilchrist.

Enzo and Disasi being added onto the injury list between games. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. You can’t ignore what people have said about Pochettino’s training methods at this point.

Chilwell in team training.

Disasi, Enzo, Sterling, Sanchez, Colwill, Fofana, James, Lavia, Nkunku and Ugochukwu all on injury report. [chelseafc] #cfc chelseafc.com/en/news/articl…
