The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Wednesday 19th March 2025!
Morning all,
Hope you are having a good week so far as we hit hump day.
Seeing Thomas Tuchel take his first England training session this week filled me with excitement I can’t lie! Looking forward to seeing what he can do with this quality crop of players. I actually even love the Dan Burn inclusion to be honest, what a colossal beast he is! We’ll not mention a former Liverpool midfielder though….
Anyway, to the Chelsea content as that will still be coming in on this site regardless of the current international break.
First of all, round up all of your latest and general Chelsea news from across the last 24 hours in yesterday’s live blog here. This covers literally everything whether news, stats, opinion, or interviews!
Some more reactions are out in the aftermath of the Arsenal defeat. And we can start with Paul Merson, who is not buying Mikel Arteta’s comments about Chelsea being the best attacking team in the league! I do love Merse, and you can read his latest here.
Another dude I love is Jody Morris. Loved watching him as a player and loved having him as a coach at Chelsea. Morris put out a short and simple review of our last couple of games and it’s refreshing because it’s factual and to the point and not trying to dress anything up or make excuses. More words on that and what Morris said here.
Meanwhile, the captain, leader, and legend has spoken and I do hope he has sent a subtle message to the current players with his latest Instagram post here. Every player needs to read this and realise this is the attitude you need to show to get unconditional support from the fans.
Finally, a comment piece from me now. Some fans wanted to highlight the missing players we have with injuries lately. And of course having these players back will make a positive difference. But let’s not pretend these guys are our almighty saviours and let’s not use this as THE excuse. I explain why in here as well as provide the stats and facts to back up my view.
See you all on the next live blog from around 8.30am today.
Peace, Si.
