Chelsea Legend slams Graham Potter over treatment of Aubameyang and TWO senior players at the club.

 The three players have not been used regularly by Graham Potter.  Graham Potter has been heavily criticized  over his treatment of Chelsea trio: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Carney Chukwuemeka and David Fofana.  Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had been left out of the Chelsea Champions League Squad despite an impressive performance in the campaign and has since then only made the Chelsea lineup once, coming on as a substitute.  Another player Potter has been heavily criticized for lack of starts is Carney Chukwuemeka.  In the few games played, Carney had shown what he can offer when, according to Sofascore, he made six tackles, won as many ground duels and completed two interceptions during a defeat to Manchester City last month. Chelsea Legend Joe Cole had described the midfielder as 'one of the most talented players in England', further emphasising that he is highly-rated. With the Blues struggling for form - they are now closer to the Premier League's relegation zone than the t

Mykhailo Mudryk breaks silence on claims he is 'NOT happy ' at Chelsea

Darijo Srna But Mudryk has rubbished claims of unhappiness at Chelsea.  Under a post from Chelsea after the defeat to Tottenham, Instagram user @yugiizman commented: "Hello @mmudryk10 are you happy with Chelsea now?" The winger responded with a prompt reply, shutting down any discussions over his unrest by simply saying: "Yes." Meanwhile, while many Chelsea fans are worried about Mudryk's lacklustre performance, the Shakta

Reports have also emerged about alleged interest from Atletico Madrid, who would be attracted to the prospect of signing a player who has a contract that expires in June 2024. This situation is likely to force the London club to sell him at a lower price than the 41 millio

Two Managers now heavily linked with Chelsea as Graham Potter replacement.

 Two Managers have been heavily linked with the Managerial position at Chelsea.  Per reports, Zinedine Zidane and Mauricio Pochettino are the two names on Chelsea's list of potential managers to replace Graham Potter.  Graham Potter's performance at Chelsea is below expectations. The former Brighton man had performed excellently at Brighton, but is now a complete shadow of himself, winning only one in all games played since the start of this year, despite the Blues' heavy spending.  While reports suggest the Chelsea hierarchy are willing to support Potter and have no intention of sacking him yet, Zinedine Zidane and Mauricio Pochettino are the two names on the Blues' list as potential managers to replace him.  Earlier reports from 90Min suggested that Mauricio Pochettino had turned down an offer to replace Graham Potter. This makes Zidane the next candidate in line to replace Potter.  Recall, Zidane had said per Tribal football that he was ready to take up a coaching

 The Blues were tied to a 2-0 defeat by Spurs on Sunday afternoon.  Sport Pundit, Tim Sherwood reveals disturbing signs he noticed from Chelsea players in the second half playoff against Tottenham. An injury in the first half saw Thiago Silva come off to be replaced by Wesley Fofana. Skipp converted the first goal of the afternoon and pundit, Sherwood reveals he noticed Chelsea lacked desire to fight for the badge, hence conceding another from Harry Kane: "I thought the first ten minutes were very good, very confident,” the former Spurs boss told Premier League Productions (via Optus Sport). “I [thought] this could be a very difficult afternoon [for Spurs]. “As soon as they went behind in the second half, that’s when you need people to stand up and show that you’re performing for the shirt, but I never saw that. “I thought they lacked effort, they lacked a plan, and were just hoping that one of their world-class players [could] turn it around. “Tottenham had more game plan, more s

Chelsea Legend gives the Blues his blessings to land Serie A star in the summer

 The Chelsea Legend has given the Blues the go-ahead to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli.  Chelsea Legend, Gianfranco Zola has given the Blues the perfect go-ahead including reasons why they should sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli.  After a disappointing turnout from Romelu Lukaku who was signed to solve the Blues' striking problems, Chelsea opted for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabon International has also been a mere shadow of himself, netting thrice in 17 games.  Chelsea Legend, Zola believes Victor Osimhen is the right man to solve all of Chelsea's problems upfront.  “Chelsea would have a lot of competition [for Osimhen’s signature]." Zola said as quoted by Football.London “He’s a complete player. He’s a pest. I don’t know what is going to happen. We will see. I think the task in the Premier League would be different to the Italian league.” Since the resumption of the season after the World Cup, Chelsea have scored just six goals in 10 games in all competitions.

 The former Chelsea boss has already given his verdict in the past on Managers who struggled to win games, including titles at Chelsea.  Jose Mourinho has already given his verdict on Graham Potter's situation at Chelsea, and claims it is not difficult to 'win' and be successful at Chelsea.  Graham Potter's Chelsea situation is a complete opposite of Jose Mourinho's view as the Englishman has struggled in his very first season with the club, winning only two games out of fifteen.  While many may think Potter should be given time, Jose Mourinho believes Potter should be 'winning' as it is not hard to coach Chelsea. Mourinho had said ahead of Tottenham's meeting with Chelsea while still Tottenham coach: "I don't think it's very difficult to coach at Chelsea because I was champion three times, (Carlo) Ancelotti was champion, Antonio Conte was champion," he said. "It cannot be very, very difficult because we win titles there. "I b

Todd Boehly reveals FIVE reasons why he will not sack Graham Potter yet.

FIVE reasons why Chelsea will NOT sack Graham Potter yet.  While many Chelsea fans have called for Graham Potter's sack following the club's recent performances, the Chelsea board are believed to be seriously backing Potter. The Blues lost to bottom-place Southampton on Saturday. This follows a current run of consecutive losses despite the club's heavy summer spending. The Southampton loss meant that Chelsea have won just twice in their past 14 Premier League games, which would have been terminal for just about every manager under the previous owner Roman Abramovich. They currently sit tenth place in the Premier League — way lower than how Thomas Tuchel had left it!  Per the Telegraph, Todd Boehly will not sack Graham Potter despite the current run of games for the following reasons:  1. Behind the scenes Boehly and Eghbali are privy to what Potter has been working on and facing behind the scenes. While Chelsea fans understandably bemoaned the team selection for the Southam

CONFIRMED: Four Managers who could replace Graham Potter at Chelsea following poor run of form.

 Graham Potter has come under fire following the club's recent performances.  The Blues have recorded just one win in ten games in 2023, and two wins in their last 15 games losing nine; a development which has not been well received by the fans. Chelsea currently sit at 10th position in the League- very awful stats. At halftime against Southampton over the weekend, he was booed off by the fans.  Reliable sources from the club believe that the board are backing Potter, and their stance has not changed. However, a four-man list has emerged of potential managers to replace Graham Potter.  According to Fichajes, Zinedine Zidane is one name that tops the list of potential managers that could replace Graham Potter at Chelsea. Per the report, Todd Boehly is pleased with his excellent work during his time at the Bernabeu. Second is Luis Enrique, who is famous for winning the treble with the Blaugrana in 2015.  Diego Simeone and Mauricio Pochettino complete the third and fourth names of pot

PSG name N'Golo Kanté and two other players Chelsea must bring in order to seal Neymar transfer.

 Chelsea have been linked with a potential transfer for Neymar Jr. in the last few days.  Co-owner Todd Boehly met with Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser al Khelaifi on Tuesday in Paris to discuss a potential transfer for Brazilian superstar Neymar, according to a report from ESPN. Neymar, 31, is still producing at a high level for the Ligue 1 leaders with 17 goals and 16 assists in all competitions this season, but his weekly wages — reported to be $730,000 per week — and injury problems have made him less valuable to the club, especially now that its attack features both Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi. Chelsea would undoubtedly benefit from having a player of Neymar's quality. However, PSG's asking price for the star player seems to be an obstacle for a deal to happen between both clubs.  Per multiple reports, PSG demand N'Golo Kanté and Hakim Ziyech for a deal to come through between both clubs. Recall Hakim Ziyech had been linked with a move to the French outfit, a d

A goal from Karim Adeyemi saw the Blues lose to the German outfit. This, of course numbers Chelsea's wins to be just two, in fourteen games and an endless run of losses and draws.  Chelsea fans are bearing the brunt of these losses and at some point, have called for Graham Potter's sack. Chelsea Legend, Gianfranco Zola believes Potter should be given time: ‘Graham is a very qualified coach,’ Zola said as quoted by Metro.  ‘He’s done well in different leagues so hopefully he can do well at Chelsea.  ‘It’s a different scenario for him and he will have to adapt. But it’s worth having faith and giving him time I think. ‘I can understand it’s difficult

"Be serious!" —Thiago Silva slams Brazilian media outlet for trolling Chelsea star after Dortmund loss.

"Be more serious with your work" – Thiago Silva slams Brazilian publication for trolling Chelsea star after UEFA Champions League loss. Chelsea star Thiago Silva has lambasted TNT Sports for trolling Enzo Fernandez after his team's 1-0 UEFA Champions League last-16 loss at Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday (February 15).The Blues slumped to a dispiriting defeat during their trip to Signal Iduna Park as Karim Adeyemi scored the decisive goal of the clash in the 63rd minute. Despite threatening BVB's goal numerous times, Graham Potter's side failed to make the most of their opportunities. From a visitors' corner, Raphael Guerreiro released Adeyemi on a sharp counter-attack. The 21-year-old forward picked up the ball in his own half, carried the ball past Fernandez, and ultimately rounded a rushing Kepa Arrizabalaga to place his effort into an empty net.  After the end of the encounter, TNT Sports Brasil took to Instagram to post a snide comment about Fernandez'

Chelsea set to reward attacker after stunning transfer decision.

 The Blues are set to reward the attacker with a new, improved contract.  Per Daily Mail, Chelsea are set to reward Conor Gallagher with a new improved contract following his decision to remain at Chelsea in the just concluded summer transfer window. The midfielder had attracted interest from Everton, including former loan side, Crystal Palace. Gallagher is believed to currently be earning £50,000 per week at Stamford Bridge, and that could be as much as doubled on a new deal. He is currently tied down until 2025, with an extension on that also expected. However – amid the speculation – Former Liverpool star Stan Collymore claimed that Gallagher will be leaving the club soon, Speaking to CaughtOffside, Collymore said: “In terms of players leaving, they’ll want to keep a large chunk of their homegrown British players but Conor Gallagher is one I can see being moved on. “If it were up to me, I’d let him go, either out on loan or permanently. He’s a player they could get a really good fee
