Game of the Season

     I was at Chelsea's most recent game - a 3-3 draw at home to Everton and what a game it was. After a boring first half which ended 0-0, both teams sprung to life in the second half. Everton were 2-0 up just ten minutes into the second half, but Chelsea showed amazing character and motivation to get themselves back into the game. Two goals in three minutes made it 2-2. My seat in the Matthew Harding Stand meant that all the Chelsea goals were right in front of me. All the momentum was with us until Everton's Costa Rican right back Bryan Oviedo, went down injured for around six minutes. Reports suggest that Oviedo's injury was not as bad as he made it out to be and he did it to waste time and to stop Chelsea's momentum. After that it was anyone's game. There were chances at both ends, but it was Everton's substitute, Ramiro Funes Mori, from Argentina, who scored in the 90th minute! I was extremely disappointed and just wanted the game to end at that stage. Seven minutes were added on for the numerous stoppages, including Oviedo's injury. At this point Chelsea had everyone forward and were just lumping the ball forward and hoping for the best. I knew it was not going to be our day... With the added seven minutes up, Azpilcueta hit it up towards the Everton box, Zouma won the initial header, Ivanovic won the second and the Oscar who only stands 5'9" vitally flicked the ball on to the CAPTAIN JOHN TERRY WHO BACKHEELED THE BALL INTO THE GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! An unbelievable finish from a 35 year old centerback! The atmosphere was electric and Terry ensured that we remain unbeaten under Guus Hiddink.

Chelsea vs Everton Pre-match

As of the time of writing this, I will be travelling to Stamford Bridge tomorrow, which is the 16th January. Chelsea are playing Everton. It'll be a tough game for Chelsea with Lukaku, Everton's Belgian striker, coming back to play against his old team. At only 23 years old, Lukaku is the highest ever scoring Belgian striker to play in the Premier League.
My seat in the stadium is in the Upper Matthew Harding Stand which is in the opposite end of the Birdge to the famous Shed End. Chelsea's defense has been solid in recent weeks but could still do with another centreback, perhaps John Stones or Raphael Varane, who play for Everton and Real Madrid respectively. Chelsea may be without the Premier League's 2014/15 season Player of the Season as he may be injured. Although Hazard has not had the same form as he did last season, he still is a key player for us. I reckon it will definitely be a close game with Everton scoring freely and Chelsea with their solid defense. I predict Chelsea to win 2-1.

First Chelsea Blog

Hello my name is Zach Doran. I will be blogging about Chelsea FC and the events happening at the club. Recently Chelsea's manager José Mourinho was sacked. This was his second spell at the Bridge. He has been succeeded by Guus Hiddink, who took charge around 4 weeks ago. This is also Hiddink's second time as interim manager of Chelsea. This means that he will only be at the club until the end of the 2015/16 season. Six games after Hiddink has taken charge, Chelsea remain undefeated, with 3 wins and 3 draws, although some may feel that Chelsea should've gotten three points against Watford and West Brom.
