Since the last 12 months have been a bit crazy, here’s a thread of some of my favourite work and I hope to keep on adding to it 🧵.

We now have the responsibility of finding a good loan for Anselmino…let’s see how that goes.

small steps after to get a shot with his right foot off so it doesn’t get blocked…impressive

I’ve seen him do this a few times with both feet over the last few years, and I have no idea how he even does it. almost like a chip but since it’s straight to the corner it doesn’t need as much power.

Looking for people (even better if mutuals) to join the podcast team to discuss Chelsea’s first team and everything else. Please gimme a DM or reply.

Same old finish yesterday, absolute rocket. 5 mins later he dances around the edge of the box, is practically perpendicular to the goal and with his weak foot somehow gets a good shot off. The subs warming up were trying to work out how he regularly does these sort of things.

this is about to be an extreme struggle what do I do for the next 72 hours ffs.

Heard about this move on Friday.

Notable people missing from today’s 21s squad include: Merrick, Olise, Hughes, Kaiden, Dyer, Dujuan, Kellyman, Rak-Sakyi, Ampah.

And maybeeeee a third…worth keeping an eye on. One’s been leaked, one’s not been leaked, and another has been correctly reported that he’s set to leave his club. All to come out in due course. 21s will continue to experiment and have trialists like they did with Osagie today.

Had it confirmed today that as of a week ago everyone, especially on camp’s side, thought Tyrese would be joining Chelsea. A late and smart move IMO to be going to Strasbourg instead - I hope he can adapt to a new place well. 2 *more* Eng U16 scholars set to sign wirh Chelsea.

AKB 👏👏.

Very much been aware of Salmon for a while now, but I watched him in the PL Cup Final against Chelsea last season and he had everything to his game. You could hear everything he was saying from the back row of Kingsmeadow and that sort of leadership doesn’t come naturally. Top.

A very small review of the game here:

Chelsea lose 2-1 but a good shift all round with some good minutes for everyone and some good football. Kavuma-McQueen starting the new season with a bang, Antwi continuing to be up there with the best I’ve watched at what he does. Lots to be happy about and work on!.

every single summer a 6’6 CB scores from a set piece and you just have to move on ffs.

Lovely backheel from Walsh to get out of 2-3 players, McMahon drives and plays in Ryan who does his typical far post finish in fashion.

Here to watch some football. Nice squad!

updates to follow as always.intrigued by the squad.Bromley smacked a spurs academy team the other day so should be interesting.

(pls stop raining 🙏).
