This Liam Rosenior guy,

He does not merely speak—he places words.

Each sentence arrives trained, disciplined, aware of its weight.

Intention is his first lesson, again intention the second.

When he speaks, words do not wander; they strike, defend and heal.

Right words, carefully chosen.

It's hard not to like him.

May his football mesmerize us as his mouth.

Strasbourg's shots taken this season are 16th in Ligue 1. What's more alarming is they were 16th for shot quantity last season too. How does Rosenior get the shot & goal count up? That's going to be the big challenge for him at Chelsea.

Former Chelsea academy player Miles Leaburn has revealed Rayan Cherki had a secret trial at Chelsea in 2015 when he was 12-years-old.

🗣️ “He came over from France and was rainbow flicking guys in training. I was thinking ‘Oh my God, this is incredible’. He honestly rejected playing for Chelsea because he probably found it too easy!

He was miles better than anyone else - absolute quality. That was one of the standout moments of the eight years or so I spent at Chelsea.”

This guy is the dream guy for Blue Co

This is a blatant lie, everyone knows Strasbourg is our B team. Pretending he had a say in getting all our outcasts is ridiculous.

In position! 👋

#INGAME

So far, still nothing new.

No third man run combinations I was really hoping to see.

Maybe because we have no outright Wingback in to offer those wide width to help stretch the mid.

Marco Alonso Esque shot

Who thought Hato would score for Chelsea before Cucurella this season?

No-one has more FA Cup goals in the 21st Century than Frank Lampard 🏆💪

Five goals.

Five different scorers.

30 shots (THIRTY).

16 on target.

Chelsea have done a really, really good job there.

#AfterThought

One of Rosenior’s greatest achievements in player development would be helping Estevao evolve into a stronger team player, complementing his individual brilliance.

Sharpening his decision-making—when to pass and when to take the game by the scruff of the neck—would be the final step toward becoming truly indispensable.

📊 Gittens provided arguably Chelsea’s biggest threat of the first half [against Charlton] and ended with the joint-highest successful dribbles, but also contributed to our press, with only Santos managing more than his five ball recoveries for the Blues.

Jorrel Hato also played a crucial role in Chelsea taking control of the game early on [against Charlton].

At that 15 minute mark when we were dominating possession, his four duels won was twice the number any other player had managed to that point.
