Chelsea FanCast Preview Show #989
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Marco Worrall, Martin Wickham and Mark Meehan for a special show to celebrate the 15th birthday of the Chelsea Fancast, oh and review Chelsea v Brentford and preview Arsenal v Chelsea...
In part one we look back at another dismal defeat and no goals scored. This time at home to Brentford. Oh the humiliation. Another poor team selection by Frank saw the same old problems first half. Sterling what an overpaid xxxx. A typical own goal shooting us in the foot but does a proper keeper clean the corners out? The changes at half time worked - Auba and Mudryk and 4:3:3 - but Frank should have taken Sterling off too, but there was more energy and purpose and we looked better with a centre forward on and we coped well defensively. But the second goal killed it. At the moment Chelsea are statistically horrific with one point and one goal in 5 games and bottom of the table on form. This is on Boehly AND the players.
In part two we celebrate 15 years of the Chelsea FanCast with some of our listeners favourite memories from 1035 shows and 15 years.
In part three we preview the Arsenal v Chelsea match kicking off with Chidge's team selection.Can we dare to dream of ruining Arsenal’s season? Will Arsenal want to bounce back after the loss to City or will this affect them? We Can’t blame Frank for the mess but we do feel sorry for him and his future, after all you can’t polish a turd, but should Pochetino come in now? Everyone says we can't get relegated, but is this true? We wrap up with our predictions.
