Introduction to the Podcast
00:00:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome back to the Daily Southampton and today the Daily Chelsea part of the Global Sports Podcast Network. My name is Greg Elliott and I'm joined by my friend Oscar. How you doing Oscar?
00:00:22
Oscar
Yeah, not too bad, thanks.
00:00:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Good. And from the Daily Chelsea podcast, Yash. How you doing Yash?
00:00:26
Yashar Alizadeh
Hey, how you doing?
00:00:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Doing alright?
00:00:27
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, good. Good, excited to get into this one.
00:00:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah,
Chelsea's Current Struggles
00:00:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
good. So it's a midweek game, a clash at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night or tonight as you're listening. coming up as we we talk about it in preview. it And I guess let's start from the Chelsea side of things, not on the hottest streak at the moment, Yash. How are you feeling about it?
00:00:49
Yashar Alizadeh
No, I think we're on really, really bad form at the moment. Yeah, like, it's quite disheartening when you're talking about Chelsea when they're losing, but it's more of a thing of, I think we need three points and that could be with anyone.
00:01:01
Yashar Alizadeh
And I think this point is like, especially City lost now. we're like We are trying to go for the top four and it's at the same time I don't really believe we can, up with the form and the players we have, but I think we need three points and that's what we're to hopefully get bounce back at Stamford Bridge.
00:01:17
Yashar Alizadeh
So...
00:01:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's it. Well, I mean, from a Saints perspective, it's been a bit of a season where we tend to be the ones breaking people's poor form.
00:01:25
Yashar Alizadeh
motion
00:01:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've noticed that Cole Palmer's struggled a bit at the last few games, so he'll probably score a hat-trick against us.
00:01:30
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, yes. I
00:01:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
But but what's what do you see from your perspective that sort of caused this poor run? Is there anything that's changed that sort of like become the missing piece or is it just all of a sudden out of the blue?
00:01:44
Yashar Alizadeh
i think the reason why the reason why this happened is because we haven't changed. So...
00:01:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Thank you.
00:01:50
Yashar Alizadeh
think Bresca's tactical inexperience has really shown so at the beginning of the season he did a little something different where he would invert a fullback into the midfield so like it overloaded the midfield then progressed into the forwards but now teams are clicking on be like okay let's just put another man in the midfield and that's literally none of the whole Chelsea that's the problem where the reason why we've been so poised because we haven't changed. So like we have been the same and expecting teams just to be like, oh, no, it's like nothing's wrong. whichre going i walk through this team. And then you put a man on Cole Palmer and game's done. So it's that.
00:02:29
Yashar Alizadeh
There's a lot of inexperience and I'm not going to blame injuries because we haven't had that many injuries. so It's just like a tactical and awareness from Resca. And again, he's still inexperienced.
00:02:40
Yashar Alizadeh
His first job in the Premier League, which is again, which is that in itself for a team like Chelsea, you shouldn't be having managers like that. But sums it up.
00:02:48
Oscar
Essentially,
00:02:49
Yashar Alizadeh
I think yeah that's the biggest reason. Yeah, that is the biggest reason.
00:02:51
Oscar
It's interesting you mention that because I seem to recall, and haven't done research into this, so so don't quote me on it, but I seem to recall last season with Leicester, they had something similar where they were unbelievable for the first sort of half of the season.
00:02:57
Yashar Alizadeh
Hmm.
00:03:05
Oscar
Obviously, slightly different given the level of quality in the squad compared to the championship, but towards the end of the season, people started to work them out a little bit.
00:03:07
Yashar Alizadeh
Mm-hmm.
00:03:13
Oscar
And they, I wouldn't say stuttered over the line, but they were certainly not quite as convincing as they were at the beginning of the season.
Management and Tactical Issues at Chelsea
00:03:19
Oscar
So maybe...
00:03:20
Yashar Alizadeh
No, completely agree. i think the reason why they won the league was because everyone else was terrible. So like the reason why they won it is because Leeds are obviously not going to do it and no one else is going to step up to the plate for first. That's why you won it.
00:03:31
Yashar Alizadeh
And this is, I think, considering the stature of Chelsea, especially... though So we won the Champions League four years ago. People forget about that. And we hired a manager which is his first season in the Premier League. Well, first season, top flight, never mind, just Premier League, if you're anything.
00:03:44
Yashar Alizadeh
So, yeah, just lack of awareness, lack of ambition from the owners. And like It does stem there, unfortunately.
00:03:51
Oscar
It's a tricky one, though, to be fair, because I obviously we we know all about Pochettino and I would have I would have thought that's a match made in heaven and that was going to work really well.
00:03:56
Yashar Alizadeh
e
00:04:00
Oscar
And, you know, that's OK. He's not necessarily won lots and lots, but a proven manager at the top level and it didn't really work out. So maybe that's why they've gone down the other route, you know.
00:04:12
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, there's a lot of reasons, I think. So, like, lot think the owners can't work with people who have their own opinions. I think the owners need a yes man. prime example of Moresco, who's his first season of Top Flight, and he's just excited to be there, what it seems like, to be honest. So, like, he'll just say yes to everything. It's like the board says. And it's like, I know a few coaches for the under-21s at Chelsea.
00:04:37
Yashar Alizadeh
Like, Todd is very clear with the idea, which is we want these young players to go in. But at the same time, you can't expect these young players to go in and then get top four, which we need.
00:04:47
Yashar Alizadeh
So it's just a downward spiral like as itself.
00:04:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it's it's interesting. But, yeah you know, you say you you're not so confident on top four, but, I mean, it's a pretty tight-knit group up there. it's You're only a couple of points away. is Is that a successful season, top four?
00:05:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
And, I mean, you've got the the Conference League as well. Do you feel like that's sort of in the bag, or is it not even a concern at this point?
00:05:09
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:05:13
Yashar Alizadeh
Well, I think, yeah yeah, I think Conference League, should be winning.
00:05:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:19
Yashar Alizadeh
And I reckon if Maresca does get knocked at the Conference I think there's a big, big question mark around him because those clubs, I think the only big club that is in the Conference League is Real Betis.
00:05:31
Yashar Alizadeh
I think the only person going to is Anthony, isn't it? So that's the whole thing of, he's the only player that's going to stop us. But it's, It comes down to just management of the whole club is just not in the right place.
00:05:42
Yashar Alizadeh
And it's top four, top four, and the conference league will be amazing, successful season, considering where we are. And for me, like, I think for Chelsea to get top four, we need teams like Bournemouth, Newcastle and City to actually drop off for us to win. It's not like it'd be a tight knit and everyone's winning.
00:06:03
Yashar Alizadeh
It's more of a, let's hope they lose and we get point here and the three points there or, Yeah. Hmm.
00:06:09
Oscar
It's interesting considering at the beginning of the season, I don't think many people looked it and thought Chelsea are going to do really well this year, given the whole situation with the amount players bought and the amount of money spent, but not necessarily on lots of players. It was a big squad I think people looked at it and weren't sure was going to work.
00:06:30
Oscar
Is Maresco almost a victim of his early success now because you did so well at the beginning and everyone was saying, are you title contenders and this, that the other? And now maybe it's sort of starting to equal out a little bit as to where we possibly thought.
00:06:44
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, I think it's more of a thing of, like, he's come in, he got fresh ideas, and he's the only manager that actually implemented that style of putting a full-back in the midfield that we have 3-5-2. So we have so many players flooding the midfield.
00:06:57
Yashar Alizadeh
And I think Lavia is a really big, I know la you know Lavia very well, and Lavia is a big part of how Chelsea play with Maresca. Unfortunately, he has glass knees. He's never fit, unfortunately.
00:07:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Thank you.
00:07:19
Yashar Alizadeh
like It's just... I can't imagine how he feels like playing in the midfield with that much pressure. But kind of again, i think he has been evicted by the same time. is is He needs to adapt.
00:07:31
Yashar Alizadeh
And like all these really good coaches. And then... like... so like as I understand he hasn't had the think the players to play.
00:07:40
Yashar Alizadeh
thing we always I think think it's like our boys at Chelsea, we always say, we can't contend for the league or even compete without three world-class position, which is a goalkeeper, centre-back and a number nine.
00:07:53
Yashar Alizadeh
Those three, you cannot compete for any trophy... maybe you can scrape an FA Cup or a Carabao Cup, but you can never compete for the big trophies, Premier League and Champions League, without those three being world-class. And this is why I say its we have a goalkeeper who miles our breadsticks in his hands and then we have centre-halves who haven't even finished GCSEs. And he's just like, it's just such a weird situation where we don't know where to go.
00:08:16
Yashar Alizadeh
So it will be success. And I think... he has to adapt. And if he doesn't adapt, he's going to be the first person on the chopping board because like the board's not afraid to switch. And we know this from Pochettino. So...
00:08:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes, it's definitely interesting. and And sort of looking into the game tonight, are you seeing it as three guaranteed points or is it just another potential banana skin based
Southampton's Chances Against Chelsea
00:08:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
off of how you're playing at the moment?
00:08:41
Yashar Alizadeh
I think another banana skin, it's like, think going to your ground, we were, again, full confidence. We were really going in there. That's why we won 5-1. And then, and like, it's controversial red card, obviously, but I think we were really, were, like, were really on good form.
00:08:57
Yashar Alizadeh
I think now it's more of a thing of, like we've lost the last two or three games against you a lot. So it's like, I think for us, it's more of a thing of, we shouldn't get complacent because you're part of the league, doesn't matter. It's like, these are the games where Southampton are looking at, it like it's like saying, you know what, we can grab a point from here. 100%. lot are confidence on the floor. We can easily grab a point from here.
00:09:17
Yashar Alizadeh
And they have nothing to lose. They're going to go all out, especially the new manager, which his style is good. It shows we can't play against a physical number nine, like, the striker you have up top now, absolute monster up front.
00:09:29
Yashar Alizadeh
We can't compete against strikers like that. We shot against Harlem. We shot against loads of teams. Like, for example, it's the Isaac. We can't play against physical number nines.
00:09:40
Yashar Alizadeh
So having him is just, can't name three or four players in there that we can't compete against. So...
00:09:47
Oscar
I think Onuacu will be delighted to compar be compared to Harland and Isaac. I wouldn't worry a huge amount.
00:09:51
Yashar Alizadeh
On...
00:09:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
but
00:09:53
Yashar Alizadeh
No, the thing. It's always because like we're not worried about... It's like so the midfield's great, but it's like is the last phase of play, which is our two centre-backs who are not confident.
00:10:05
Yashar Alizadeh
We've got Trevor Chalabar. so like He went out in the Aston Villa game, so he was injured. So we've got Tosin and Lival Kowa, who again, Tosin was playing full and not even getting a game in. And he comes to Chelsea he's playing every other game. And then we've got Levi Koh who's only 21 against good striker who, again, he might not be the most technical gifted, but he can hold the ball up.
00:10:24
Yashar Alizadeh
And you've got really, really fast wingers. Again, who can hurt us? Because we only have Kukurela and Malakusto who not the fastest players. So comes down to that.
00:10:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, well that's maybe a tad more positive than I think either Oscar or I are feeling about Saints chances, but we will loop back round and touch on that after a break, but first a message from our partners at Bionique.
00:10:37
Yashar Alizadeh
so
00:11:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, so we're back. Oscar, are you feeling feel like there's a chance that we sort of catch Chelsea sleeping and and put out problems for them?
00:11:32
Oscar
I mean, to it's not the worst time to be playing against Chelsea off the back of two bad, two pretty poor results. But at the same time, it's always a good time to play Southampton this season, it seems.
00:11:47
Oscar
Maybe it's it's an omen. that It's almost two years to the day that last time we got relegated, we managed to get one of our few wins against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, which essentially got Ruben Sellers the job till the end of the season.
00:12:01
Oscar
So maybe there's an omen in there, but I'm, yeah, I just think it depends on what he's... if Juric backs up what he said, if he's going to change something, but that could go completely one way or the other. So it sounds like if he's going to change something, it might be experimental and completely go, go wrong. And, and we end up on the back of another hiding. I we we've, I was, I've seen some stats recently. We've conceded 14 goals.
00:12:29
Oscar
Uh, sorry. We've conceded three goals or more in 14 out of our 26 games this season. So, I think there's every possibility we add to that significantly.
00:12:42
Oscar
But who knows, maybe he finds a formula that actually works and get something out of it. And then our season jets on from here and we stay up. I think it's unlikely, but, you know, stranger things have happened.
00:12:51
Yashar Alizadeh
Okay.
00:12:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
but don't know I don't know at this point if stranger things have happened. I think that might genuinely be the most incredible footballing thing I'd ever seen. so really think that if we, at this point of the season, put on a run and stay up, it's probably more odds-defying than Leicester winning the league.
00:13:15
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, probably.
00:13:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Surely.
00:13:16
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, around that.
00:13:16
Oscar
Yeah, I think certainly with the mentality that's around the club at the moment, like I think an article I read today was saying that the the players look like they're on the beach. this They look like they're a mid-table, they're set, they can't go up, they can't go down and they're just chilled.
00:13:31
Oscar
And I'm sure that's not the case, but yeah, you're right. A mentality shift like that is going to be tricky, but... you know, maybe, it's just something to build on. And even if it just ends up that we break target number one, break the Derby records, target number two, maybe try and catch Leicester or Ipswich and just make it look, at least from the outside, like we had a bit of a go.
00:13:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it's an interesting one. There's obviously concerns about the physical presence of Tall Paul or the pace of Suda Mina catching you on the wing. But what you were saying about your midfield, that's really where my concern from our team would be because it's somewhere we've really struggled pretty consistently across the board. And I don't see, unless we see a combination of Flynn Downs and Ugo Chugwu,
00:14:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Although, I presume, can he not play because it's his parent club?
00:14:23
Yashar Alizadeh
No, he can't play. Yeah, he can't play.
00:14:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, yeah, that's, yeah, that's, it's got to be Flynn coming in then.
00:14:25
Oscar
Oh, I forgot about that. That is killer.
00:14:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
And that's, that's a concern as well. So the chance we just get overrun in the middle and don't even get it far enough forward to cause a problem.
00:14:40
Oscar
I think, yeah I'm sure we'll come into this if we talk about predicted line-ups and things, but I think for me, we have to go into a midfield three now. I'm not a fan of having two, especially when one of them is Will Smallbone.
00:14:52
Oscar
Again, I'm not dissing him as a player, but just in a two, he's not, he's not, he's too lightweight. we I think we've got to go in with the three, otherwise you're you're right, we're just going to get completely overrun, especially without Uga Chukwu.
00:15:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. And with no natural centre-backs, are we seeing Belicochap play two games in four days after not playing any for 500? Or...
00:15:18
Oscar
I don't think he's got a choice at this point.
00:15:18
Yashar Alizadeh
you
00:15:22
Oscar
Stephens maybe, but is he going to risk chucking him straight in, especially against Chelsea? We know what happened the last time he played against Chelsea. ah' A re-boat back there. but Maybe we'll need a re-boat midfield now if we could check his out.
00:15:37
Oscar
I personally, again, i think I think a back four, but is that going to be completely against his principles? and he's going to stick with that. I don't know whether Nathan Wood is, is he fit again? I'm not 100% sure.
00:15:47
Oscar
But Harbaugh Bellis, I think, out.
00:15:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he was fit, but dragged off for poor performance the last time he played at half-time. So, fit, but whether that's a case of Abel, I'm not sure.
00:16:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, there were there are some serious points of concern, that's for sure.
00:16:06
Oscar
Yeah, I think so.
00:16:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think that's us trying to be positive, to be honest.
Chelsea's Squad and Injury Challenges
00:16:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
LAUGHTER
00:16:13
Yashar Alizadeh
You're making me feel better.
00:16:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Could be one of those strange midweek games where both teams just try their hardest not to lose.
00:16:23
Yashar Alizadeh
a
00:16:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
really could be the way it ends up going.
00:16:26
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, we have no number nine, so I don't know where our goals are going to come from. It's like we can't just rely on Cole Palmer because someone's going to be on him. So like we know that someone's going to on him at all times.
00:16:37
Yashar Alizadeh
We have no goal for it. So...
00:16:40
Oscar
I'm a little bit with the attackers that you have. Is Madiweke available?
00:16:46
Yashar Alizadeh
No, he's out.
00:16:47
Oscar
He's out.
00:16:47
Yashar Alizadeh
No, he's out.
00:16:48
Oscar
Yeah, we have this this man for man system. And again, he said that he's going to change things up. So whether they'll do it again or or not, I'm not too sure. So our centre backs like to come out and and come roaming.
00:16:57
Yashar Alizadeh
mind games.
00:17:00
Oscar
and and come looking for the ball. So that does open up that space behind, which someone like Maduweke would have been a concern for, maybe in Kunku. And even Palmer to an extent, even if they're tracking him and leave that space in behind, you know, could be a way
00:17:12
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, we have probably Neto is your biggest threat. He's unbelievably fast. And I think having someone like him is is we're going to need someone like him. think he he hasn't provided as much as I think us Chelsea fans would have provided, but he I think he's our only source of goals. And Kunku's might as well play with the under 14 up front. He does nothing.
00:17:33
Yashar Alizadeh
And is like we have Neto and Cole Palmer who are only threats and can't rely on those. We need a number nine and was in January we didn't get number nine like most clubs didn't kind they I get that but I think we needed one and I my thought process is is if we don't have a number nine why don't we just play one of the under 21s in there it's as we might as well we have nothing to lose and Kunku's not going to do anything special we haven't seen him do anything special since we over the of the season since last season actually because it's the second season with us so for us I'd like not sure if Menchuk
00:18:11
Yashar Alizadeh
like Chelsea fans will agree with me but we might as well play with the under 21 up front might as well give them a chance who knows so
00:18:18
Oscar
And what about Jackson? Because he's sort of, I think he initially flattered to the sea a little bit and people weren't particularly impressed. Went on a bit of run, aran did really well and seems to have sort of faded away recently. Is he is he injured or...?
00:18:31
Yashar Alizadeh
well like yeah so he's injured maybe till probably end of March that's what they say at the same time, it's like even before you got injured, he hasn't scored in seven games.
00:18:41
Yashar Alizadeh
So people forget about that. People forget. i get it. We need a number nine. And he has scored. But at the same time, he gets roughly three or four chances a game. Only he scores one or two. Can say only?
00:18:50
Oscar
Thank you.
00:18:50
Yashar Alizadeh
But at the same time, you need a striker with maybe two or three chances. Scores a couple. Scores a goal in there. And it's... Unfortunately, we don't have that. We won't have that because that's our ball bias for the future.
00:19:02
Yashar Alizadeh
And... not immediate success, which is very silly for a club like Chelsea, but that's for another, another day of me ranting.
00:19:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, so, I mean, both seat sides, I guess, are feeling very cautious. sir It could at least make for an entertaining game.
00:19:15
Yashar Alizadeh
Hmm.
00:19:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're going to come back with some predictions on how we think we're going to get on. But first, a message from our partners at Zencaster.

well i think my predictions have been fairly mixed bag this season when i've gone with my head i think actually most of them have been pretty close i went i went with my heart a little bit last week and uh yeah that wasn't a good idea i was i was pretty far off that one so i think and it's a bit of a depressing statement to say but heart i'm gonna go with a one one draw and i would 100 take that a cautious nervy both teams struggling to score That would be a positive for me, a real positive, to be fair. I'd snap your hand off for that right now.
00:20:30
Oscar
But Head, I think, 3-1. I think a 3-1 loss. I think just I just can't see improvement over the last couple of weeks.
00:20:40
Oscar
and I think Chelsea, all right, they might not be able to score, but to be honest, we make it pretty easy for teams to score. So you don't need a good number nine. I think someone will pop up with a goal somewhere.
00:20:51
Oscar
And then, yeah, I think a 3-1 loss and maybe a Suleiman a consolation.

Okay, and Yash, how are you feeling about the game? What what do you think is going to happen?
00:21:01
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, I think we need three points. and I think the manager knows that as well. He is getting question marks now a lot from the fan base. I think he needs this just to kick on now. We have yes lo we have a few games.
00:21:14
Yashar Alizadeh
Like next two free games are in favor for us. We're at home for the next two. So... we are going to try to use that to our advantage. And I think a 2-1 win is like we, I don't think it's goingnna be a battering. And i think going to be a close game. I think it'll like Southampton had nothing to lose and really going at Chelsea, especially our goalkeeper problems.
00:21:33
Yashar Alizadeh
At the same time, I think we will have, I think the players will want it enough and we hope so because if it doesn't, then a lot of question marks, not only for the manager, but for the players as well.
00:21:44
Yashar Alizadeh
So, 2-1 win. two one
00:21:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
but Nice. Honestly, not getting battered might be the biggest positive we can look for. If we can test your goalkeeper, great. Maybe there's a chance. But actually, at the weekend, we only managed, i think, 0.13 xG, which I think is the lowest I've ever seen in any football ever.
00:22:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
think I think our only shot on target was an accidental cross. Look, i haven't predicted a Saints loss yet this season.
00:22:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
and I don't think i can bring myself for it to be the first today. I've got to go into the game feeling positive to bring myself to watch it, I think. I think that maybe we sneak away with a 1-0 win.
00:22:32

Miraculously, it will accidentally bounce off of Taupel's head into the net or something, and then we'll just stick all 11 players on the line and see it out.
00:22:32
Yashar Alizadeh
Thank you.
00:22:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's... And, you know, that would be a marked improvement as well. The ability to defend and and get behind a result would would probably be one of the best things we've seen this season. So that's how I'm going to fall.
00:22:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
So fingers crossed. Anyway, it promises to be an entertaining game at least and to see who who puts the more fight in to improve back to the ways of the expectations.
