Introduction & Greetings

officialgspn
Hello and welcome to the Daily Chelsea brought to you by the Global Sports Podcast Network. I'm at Blagdon and I'm joined today by my wonderful host, Jake Chandler.
Pre-Game Nerves & Big Match Discussion
00:00:21
officialgspn
Jake, how are you doing today?
00:00:22
Jake
Not too bad mate, but fearful of the weekend, but otherwise not too bad.
00:00:25
officialgspn
Oh no.
00:00:26
Jake
How are you?
00:00:27
officialgspn
yeah yeah very good thanks very excited actually ahead of the weekend it's a big game of course we're talking about west hound versus chelsea everyone the big game the first lunchtime game this weekend at 12 30 at the london stadium all eyes on there uh on tnt as well that's the best place to watch it Jake and I, we're gonna we're going to discuss a couple of things between Chelsea and West Ham, who's had the better transfer window, tactics, lineups, and also a little pop quiz to come at the end. So so if you're keen with quizzes guys, do play along with us as we go through the questions.
Summer Transfer Activities
00:01:05
officialgspn
But Jake, both West Ham and Chelsea, they both did a lot in the transfer market this summer with West Ham spending just under $150 million across their signings with Kilman, Somerville and much more.
00:01:21
officialgspn
And Chelsea, we signed many players like Neto, Jusbury Hall, Jorgensen, and even Xiao Felix, Jaden Sancho. We've even got Estevan William coming in next year. We spent just over 240 million. So lots of millions spent by both clubs. In your opinion, Jake, who had the better transfer, transfer summer for their squad?
00:01:50
Jake
In terms of for their squad, I think I'd say us. think it's closer than what a lot of people think though. just Just because you say in terms of their squad and like transfers as a whole ah in terms of their squad, I think we got rid of a few players that we probably needed to, especially by the time we got to the end of that window.
00:02:06
Jake
But West Ham did really, really well. like they It seemed they sort of had their targets set out to get their targets and and and did so. only one I'll maybe say wasn't really like that was Somerville. Somerville seemed to be a bit later and obviously there was rumors of even us going for him and stuff like that. It seemed he was being shopped around a little bit likely by Leeds.
00:02:26
Jake
but yeah, I think that's, that's the major one for me is Somerville. Somerville, I think is a really, really good talent. I was, I was actually going to be quite excited if, if we had managed to sign him, but, it's, he he's, he's got a lot of, you know, sort of creative
00:02:35
officialgspn
Hmm. Hmm.
00:02:42
Jake
he can play a lot of very good crosses, which is very good for someone for a team like West Ham who've just signed for quick. Obviously, you know, they're really good signings. Excuse me, and obviously Antonio, who's also really good at getting on the undercrosses.
West Ham's Top Four Potential
00:02:54
Jake
So, it's obviously... Excuse me.
00:02:58
officialgspn
Well, you bet all that, Drake.
00:03:00
Jake
I am a little bit...
00:03:01
officialgspn
know.
00:03:01
Jake
Yeah, I am. um Yeah, I think, otherwise, I think, I think they're quite, I think they've, they've had a very, very very good window in terms of signings. I think they probably, if they had done with a couple more, I think we could have been talking about them, you know, challenging for top four, I'd say.
00:03:17
officialgspn
Wow.
00:03:17
Jake
It's because the amount of signings that they've made in the amount of attacking talent they do have now. Plus, you know, the change of manager should hopefully see them, you know, a bit further up the table. then obviously when it comes to us, we also signed a lot of really good attacking talent as well. Um, and and then as I mentioned, like the outgoings for us sort of, I think tips in scale is to say, if you would say Chelsea West Ham's compare the windows, I'd say that Chelsea did better just based on the outgoings as well.
00:03:43
officialgspn
Yeah, I agree with that. Absolutely. I mean, in terms of, you know, balancing the books on the weight structure and everything like that, I did find West Ham letting James Ward Prowse go to, to forest a little bit strange because he seemed to be really key for them, but clearly not key for Lopategi. I guess, uh, with West Ham, you know, sort of like you mentioned Somerville and Falkirk being big signings for them.
00:04:06
officialgspn
I mean, they paid 27 million for full crook and he's 31. Is that where they, you know, sort of hard done by and did Dortmund get the better deal out of that one?
00:04:15
Jake
think... I think Dorman probably did get the better deal out of that one just because, you know, that player is only really going to be playing Premier League football for two or three years.
Impactful Signings for Chelsea
00:04:27
Jake
and And the interesting thing for West Ham is he he does still have, you know, you know, the the thing that will affect him in the until your three years time is losing that yard of pace. Like he's a bit of a bigger guy, but he does have, you know, a bit of speed about him as well. He's he's got quite a good agility as well, as we've seen.
00:04:43
Jake
And I think he, I think West Ham will do well out of that transfer, but not as well as what Dortmund have done, you know, getting that money. And I think that was probably, I'd say that West Ham probably overpaid there, but they needed a player for that position. So would you say you're overpaid from West Ham point of view? I don't know.
00:05:02
officialgspn
Hmm. Yeah, it's tricky. I mean, it's probably the best they were ever going to get in that position anyway, just because of that, where they are as a club ah and whatnot. so just ah a note on our signings, Jake, who do you think is going to be the most pivotal and I guess, uh, as in its it's hard to say what's the best signing because there's so so many ways you can interpret best, but who do you think is going to be the most impactful for us across the rest of the season for Chelsea?
00:05:28
Jake
I think Sancho.
00:05:30
officialgspn
Oh, really? Okay.
00:05:31
Jake
I think san Sancho was ah ah was a very good signing for us. I think i think you know did there's like there's a couple of things that add to it in terms of like the fact he was you know a Chelsea fan when he was was he was a boy and all that sort of stuff.
00:05:44
Jake
think he's really going to turn up for us. I think he's really going to play well on apparently some of the things that weren't like to United. And Ormond was that they, he turned up to training late and stuff like that.
00:05:56
Jake
so, but I think that's not really going to happen under Maresco. If that sort of happens once, not even twice, Maresco is sort of going to put his foot down and have you out of the squad. So I think, I don't think that's really anything for us to worry about.
00:06:07
Jake
I think all we need really need to do is just worry about his attacking talent. And, you know, I think that's all for us at all.
00:06:12
officialgspn
Hmm.
00:06:13
Jake
I think it's just something for us to be excited about. I think it's just the player we can just be excited about. because also if we don't really lose on the deal. Like it was 25 million pounds. we don't really, we're not going to, we're not really going to lose that much here.
00:06:22
officialgspn
Yeah.
00:06:25
officialgspn
Hmm.
00:06:26
Jake
You know, that's, that's, that's the same price we played to sack potter. Like that's not really that much money to us. Like if we're being honest, there's not much money to us. but I think you have, I think you have the biggest impact.
00:06:36
Jake
I think he'll, he'll really, I think the assists will really pop up and I think that we share between Palmer and Sancho. think Sancho himself is really capable of scoring some goals as well as Palmer. think one thing I think we'll probably talk about a little bit later on is in terms of our lineup, I'm a little bit less worried about the striker now because of the talent we have on the wings. Yeah, I think Sancho will be the most impactful. one
00:06:59
officialgspn
Interesting. Yeah. Imagine that everyone. Imagine being Chelsea Football Club and 25 millions being cheapest chips for you. Imagine finding that in the back of your sofa.
Tactics for Winning Against West Ham
00:07:07
officialgspn
Wouldn't that be amazing? Anyway, we'll talk more about our signings, tactics and lineups after this break.
00:08:02
officialgspn
Welcome back. This is Daily Chelsea. We're talking all things ahead of our game against West Ham this weekend. We're now going to turn our attention to the tactics of how Chelsea can win the game and what the potential lineup would be as we head out to them at the London Stadium. In the last 10 games between Chelsea and West Ham,
00:08:19
officialgspn
Chelsea have won five and West Ham have won four. So definitely a close affair between these two London clubs. And there's been a couple of wins of the 3-2 school line for West Ham recently. So there's definitely plenty of goals on offer this in this fixture. I mean the last result against West Ham was a 5-0 win for Chelsea.
00:08:39
officialgspn
where Jackson, Madawake, and Palmer were on the score sheet. Jackson was the man of the match. Would you believe that, everyone? everyone That's a Jackson hater. He got 9.5 rating that game. so And even Mudrick, he got 7.3. You'd never put that rating against him with the performance he's done so far. Jake, can we hope for a similar performance from those players this weekend? And where do you think we really need to attack to win the game?
00:09:07
Jake
I think really we have to be having a similar performance from those players. Me and Craig were talking about this earlier in the week on our podcast that if you don't have a good performance as one of the attacking players on our team at the moment, there is 100% a player of the same quality, if not more, ready to take your place.
00:09:30
Jake
So performances just have to be absolutely tipped up at the moment from any attacking player in our squad. I think in terms of where we can really hurt them, I don't think it's going to be in terms of height. I think West Ham are you know a pretty high high team. I don't really think we're going to be winning too many headers. I don't think we should be trying to aim too many crosses into the box.
00:09:48
Jake
that's why I think sort of in terms of tactics and stuff like that, we should be definitely trying to you know play the ball on the floor a lot more. noticed against Wolves and Bournemouth, when they sort of started to press our wide players, we'd then do a very long switch to the other wide player. We did that quite a few games few times in the game. So we really didn't we didn't really do it against City, and which I think is because they sort know those balls are coming and they're able to counter them pretty well.
00:10:14
Jake
whereas against Wolves and Bournemouth I think we can make those switches quite easily and they don't always come off is is the thing that I'm worried about and I think we will probably try the same sort of thing against West Ham because it's been the quickest way to disperse to our wingers when they've been higher up the pitch especially when we're at West Ham and it's a crowd who's very volatile and they're really going to get on Chelsea's backs.
00:10:36
officialgspn
it definitely will yeah
00:10:37
Jake
Yeah, I think we i think we'll we'll pick up the pace in our in our football quite a bit just because of how the crowd is and I think we'll want to try and play a lot quicker and also we're probably going to lose the ball quite a lot and the crowd will get on top of us quite a bit.
00:10:49
Jake
So I think we really need to be i think we need you know playing the ball on the floor. I think we need to be using players and starting players who are going to dribble a lot more wait until that final pass is very much just on pinpoint perfect until that pass is played i think is why i'd probably start in terms of you know the free starting i'd probably go with parma sancho and madawake as well i want our best dribblers probably on the pitch for that yeah i think we really need to we need to have them on the floor essentially
00:11:03
officialgspn
yeah.
00:11:14
officialgspn
Well,
00:11:18
officialgspn
yeah, interesting. I definitely agree in terms of the focus on possession. And i I think this is where we really need to see more riskable come full full fruition about keeping possession, really not giving it away and keeping it nice and tidy. Even when they're pressing up on on our center on half and when we've got the ball and we're but when we're playing out from the back, we need to keep possession as clean as possible. Just because like you say, West Ham have got the height.
00:11:44
officialgspn
West Ham they love a
Player Selection Debate
00:11:45
officialgspn
set piece and they're really strong from that. the last game where we lost 3-1 at the London Stadium they definitely scored from a corner and it was just a really soft goal we really don't want to be giving those sort of goals away. I do wonder as well from looking at some of the highlights against Fulham and the rest of their results this season that When they don't press that hard on the deep-lying midfielders, definitely against Fulham, Fulham were able to play a long ball over the top to their wingers and to their strikers for them to run onto and then eventually score.
00:12:14
Jake
I love the way it's called, excuse me, I will get into that.
00:12:20
officialgspn
mean, you could argue for that goal in particular, there was a bit of lax in terms of concentration with the West Ham defenders, but by the way, it's the same thing. So, I mean, yesterday with our crossover with the West Ham boys, I did say Enzo Fernandez was going to be the stand-up player. And I think that's why. I think he's going to be able to play a lot of those over the top balls to our to our wingers when we do get a chance to run in behind. But I mean, on top of that, like if Enzo is going to do that, who do you think he really needs to be playing the ball to most? Just because I don't think Mado Eike's got the best first touch.
00:12:53
officialgspn
And so I get what you're saying about dribbling, but I think he makes me a little bit nervous and I'd probably play Neto on the right and then even Sancho on the left just because I want our front three to have the best control possible.
00:13:08
Jake
Yeah, do I do still agree with you though, I think... It's going to be quite key. The reason I i didn't really choose Neto is because I think his performance against Bournemouth was just really not that good and also he was taken off, I think just half-time or half-time.
00:13:19
officialgspn
Hmm.
00:13:22
officialgspn
It was at halftime, yeah.
00:13:23
Jake
Yeah.
00:13:23
officialgspn
Yeah.
00:13:24
Jake
And I think he, like I said, like I think the way that, you know, Neto is playing left wing, I think Madaway did well enough against Bournemouth to keep his place and has done well enough this season to keep his place.
00:13:37
Jake
But on the left wing, I think that's the places up for grabs at most at the moment and i think the way the centro came on took netto's place and then obviously provided an assist and and got man in a match as well i think just for that's that's why i'd go with centro on the left wing and keep him only on the right but i do definitely see an advantage to play netto parma and centro in the same front three
00:13:59
officialgspn
Yeah. Interesting. Okay. So that's the, the front three, I guess behind the striker. I guess that's the next big debate. Really that we're, we're noticing a lot more as in Jackson's been the main man so far and in Cuckoo's come off the bench or in Cuckoo's played a lot more in the Europa conference so far.
00:14:17
officialgspn
But when Nkuku scored against Bournemouth, he seemed to be pointing to him a lot and almost a bit of aggression and frustrations coming out there. Almost saying, you know, I want to be the main man, I want to be the one starting all the time. Do you think there's a bit of a selection dilemma there for Enzo? Because Jackson's great at pressing, but Nkuku is probably the better finisher. Who's the best fit for this game?
00:14:40
Jake
i think if to be honest if you're going probably with like i suppose the tactics that i suggested i think you're probably being cuckoo because obviously he's a bit better on the floor but then i think you know i think we probably do need someone in that sort of attacking front four who's going to be quite physical and quite quite attacking And I think that probably is that that's Jackson.
00:15:00
Jake
That's what Jackson does. He pesters, you know, he's he's quite strong. He's quite good on the ball at keeping the ball. I think obviously if we go with any suggestions that we've made for the other three who form the attack, I think most of those players are not really that strong on the ball as in they'll get they'll lose the ball probably quite quickly if if they get pressed.
00:15:09
officialgspn
Mm hmm.
00:15:19
Jake
The only one he sometimes doesn't really do that is Palmer, but he does that more with skill rather than strength. so I think maybe as much as I would like to see in Google, and I think it could probably deserves a start.
00:15:23
officialgspn
Yep.
00:15:31
Jake
I think just for this West Ham game in particular, I think Jackson's probably the better option.
00:15:37
officialgspn
Decisions. Decisions will look more at the rest of the lineup after this break.
00:16:15
officialgspn
Welcome back to Daily Chelsea. We're talking all things ahead of the West Ham game. And Jake, I do agree with you in terms of the front striker, Jackson's the better fit for this game, just to hustle and bustle really with the West Ham defence. And I think if West Ham are going to beat us in any way, it is going to be very physical and basically just trying to get those subtle knocks in and and beat our players off the ball quite literally.
00:16:40
officialgspn
And also, I do think Nkunku is brilliant as an impact sub from the bench when the defense is is quite tired. He's able to use his pace and use his clinical touch to to get that goal like we saw against Bournemouth. So for your front four, it would be Sancho, Palmer, Madaweke and Jackson. What about the rest of the field from the goalie up?
00:17:05
Jake
And so from the goalie up, I think Sanchez is obviously sort of our our Premier League keeper. I wouldn't change that at the moment.
00:17:11
officialgspn
Yeah.
00:17:13
Jake
I think they've actually excuse me. I think he's done really well. So I got very much all friendly. And think he's actually done really well so far. obviously, he did really well against Bournemouth, penalty save and all.
00:17:25
Jake
I think he is obviously our starting keeper. um Right um Right back, obviously, I think we need to wait for the press conference from Mariska just to confirm everything, but I think we don't have a starting right back again this week. I think Disazi did quite well, and you know he's not he's not a right back. you know I wasn't expecting some sort of incredible right back performance out of Disazi, but I think he filled in the slot pretty reasonably. Plus, as we've mentioned, West Ham are sort of like a bigger side.
00:17:53
Jake
will be looking to get the ball off us as much as possible with as much with with strength. That's what West Ham do, and I think Dzazzi's quite a strong player, probably a decent player to have for this game. And just on that, just wanted to mention a stat from West Ham this season as they offered highest in terms of fouls in the Premier League.
00:18:11
Jake
Which just sounds a little bit West Ham, doesn't it? but So we want players who are going to be strong, essentially.
00:18:13
officialgspn
Yeah.
00:18:16
Jake
we work theyre They are going to try and get into us a bit.
00:18:18
officialgspn
Yeah.
00:18:19
officialgspn
Yeah.
00:18:20
Jake
In terms of centre backs, for far Nicole Will, again, think they've done really well so far. Still a little bit of chemistry needs to be sort of, the chemistry together needs to get a little bit better, but I think they've done okay so far and I don't see any reason to change our partnership. Kukarela again at left back. think he's doing well. I don't think he had the best game against Bournemouth, but I think for a game like this, the London Derby, especially Kukarela really likes to wind up some opponents and stuff like that. I think he's going to be essential for this game.
00:18:47
Jake
casado as well in midfield and then i as much as i agree with you in terms of what enzo can do for us on saturday i would actually go with aga again in midfield
00:18:56
officialgspn
Oh wow okay.
00:19:00
Jake
I think he did really well against Bournemouth. And the thing I quite liked is he he has he's obviously a bigger player, which is what i'm something I'm a bit wary of against West Ham. I think he's actually got pretty good passing quality. And the way that he sort of seems to sit back a little bit more, and I think obviously the the other reason I'm thinking this is I want a bit of cover for Dzazzi as well, we're right back.
00:19:20
Jake
whereas ba Vega very much seems to be... I don't want to compare him to Makalaeli but he seems to be doing that bit more of that role of like cleaning up getting the ball back into an attacking player's feet and so we progress forward.
00:19:29
officialgspn
Sure. Yeah.
00:19:34
Jake
I think that would be probably quite key for us on Saturday but he would probably be the first player I'd sub off if we needed to get someone like Enzo on, for example, depending on if you know the game's a bit of a standstill, we're not not attacking enough, but we're you know defending okay, that sort of thing.
00:19:42
officialgspn
Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I get that.
00:19:51
Jake
Yeah, so that'd be keep a rumba to me. And then then, yeah, obviously, as you mentioned, Madaway, K. Palmer, Sancho, and Jackson for me.
00:19:58
officialgspn
Interesting. Yeah, my back my back six is a little bit different would keep Sanchez the sassy Colwell and for final like you say I just hope and I think it's a positive and Almost a negative with Colwell that he's so passionate like he's definitely I think future captain for us in turn of that leadership but I just hope that the crowd and West Ham players don't get into his head and he doesn't get too riled up and Just because he can be a little bit short with his views and I slides what's up Yeah, see that's the yeah Yeah, that's that's that's all my always my little worry with him just cuz it's almost too much passion hopefully, you know, he is still very young and hopefully he'll be able to you know learn to manage that and just control that
00:20:28
Jake
I was just going to say, he's already on three yellow cards this season, I think. Not all in the league, but but if they are, it could be two yellow cards away from getting a ban. It's just like, yeah. sorry
00:20:50
officialgspn
But for left-back, instead of Kukarella, I put Viega there, like you say, because of the the physicality and because I do think there will be times where we we do dominate on the ball and he'll be able to invert and be able to play that way and then that will then free up Enzo to to do what he does best, playing those balls over the top and and switching play and whatnot. so So yeah, slightly different. That's the only difference. Obviously have Kaiseido in there with the midfield as well, just to break up play and and do everything with that. But yeah, I actually, in some ways, I don't think it's an issue having James and Gusto out for this because Dassasi, he is going to be that, bring a lot more strength to the back line. And, you know, when we do do the inversion, when we're in control, if we've effectively just got three center backs right at the back. And so that suits Dassasi really, really well.
00:21:39
officialgspn
So I mean we'll see how that works just because he does have a mistake in him as we saw against Lester last season Which was pretty phenomenal But we're hoping for not a similar one
Pop Quiz Time
00:21:50
Jake
Yeah.
00:21:51
officialgspn
this This this this weekend.
00:21:52
officialgspn
Yeah, not not a a wonder kick from you know the touch line Anyway, that's our lineups and tactics everyone we're now gonna in the final segment of today's podcast We're gonna go to a pop quiz okay okay so do you get your pens and papers ready or your mobile phone if you're of that age and we've got 10 questions coming up. Jake are you ready?
00:22:20
Jake
No, let's do. yeah
00:22:23
officialgspn
and Okay. They're all multiple choice. so that always makes it a little bit easier. And yeah, we'll go for it. So question one, which Chelsea striker scored a hat trick in a four nil win over West Ham in March, 2010? Was it Fernando Torres, Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, or Nicholas Anelka?
00:22:47
Jake
Is it an Elka?
00:22:49
officialgspn
Are you locking in an Elka?
00:22:52
Jake
It wasn't All-Res, I don't think, and I don't think it was Didier in 2010. I think it was an Elka. I think it was an Elka. and
00:23:00
officialgspn
Okay, he's locking in an Elka. Jake, you are on zero out of one, I'm afraid. It is incorrect. Are you a Chelsea fan?
00:23:10
officialgspn
Like, Drug Book got Golden Boot that season. You know, it was Didier.
00:23:14
Jake
me me oh I don't remember that game at all.
00:23:14
officialgspn
It was Didier.
00:23:17
Jake
Was I home or away?
00:23:19
officialgspn
It was at home, yep.
00:23:21
Jake
I was probably there as well. Oh, Christ. All right, anyway, moving on.
00:23:25
officialgspn
Could we just have a fan, you know, exactly.
00:23:27
Jake
All right.
00:23:29

Okay, number two, which Chelsea manager has the most wins against West Ham? Is it Mourinho? Sarri, Tuchel or Ranieri?
00:23:41
Jake
i I think it's either Jose or Too Cool. I think Too Cool used to be really well against West Ham, but I can't remember if I don't think he would have had enough games against West Ham in those seasons. I'm going to say Jose.
00:23:53
officialgspn
Oh, he's looking in Jose and you'd be right.
00:23:57
Jake
Yeah.
00:23:57
officialgspn
It was Jose. He obviously had two spells. So the most games against West Ham and the most wins. Okay. Question number three. In what year did West Ham defeat Chelsea 3-1? And this was in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge, which caused them to break Chelsea's long unbeaten home run. Was it 2000, 2002, 2015 or 2019?
00:24:28
Jake
2015 yeah, I think so.
00:24:30
officialgspn
He's looking in 2015.
00:24:32
Jake
I'm pretty sure oh what Was it was it was it 2019 under who?
00:24:33
officialgspn
He's looking in 2015 and he's incorrect, everyone. It's 2019.
00:24:41
officialgspn

00:24:43

Jake
Yeah, no.
00:24:57
officialgspn
It's all coming back. The clocks are turning now.
00:25:00
Jake
I thought I thought like do a while I was thinking of there was a game I can't remember and I think I can't remember if West Ham won or they drew but Sam Anadise came. Sam Anadise was the manager and I think it's 2015 and he was so full of himself and that's what I remember.
00:25:09
officialgspn
Hmm.
00:25:12
officialgspn
Oh, yeah.
00:25:13
Jake
I thought he was full of himself because he had beaten some record or something like that. I can't remember exactly.
00:25:16
officialgspn
Yeah.
00:25:17
Jake
So I went 2015. i will
00:25:19

No, it's a solid guess, but 2019 nonetheless. So, Jake's on one out of three, everyone. I hope you're doing better than him. Number four, which player has played for both West Ham and Chelsea, Joe Cole, Frank Lampard, Colton Cole, or all of the above?

00:28:47
Jake
a
00:28:48

I'm going to say 2002. I think West Ham were really not that good for 2002. And I think...
00:28:54
officialgspn
It would be great if it was that soon But it was 1966 the year we won the World Cup, so it's a good year for Charles that year I Know I know crazy, isn't it?
