    Lampard Leaves, Tuchel Turns Up - Extra Length Episode

    Jack Rathborn, Will Dubey and Grant James are back to pick apart Chelsea's decision to sack Frank Lampard halfway through the season and replace him with Thomas Tuchel. The trio looks at the coach's mistakes, the best moments of his reign and his legacy. Questions are asked of the size and balance of the squad built by the board and whether a mutiny was always likely. The possible tactics that Tuchel will implement are also debated - could Kai Havertz be set for a false nine role? Will Rudiger, Jorginho and Christensen be back in the starting XI going forward?

    Chelsea 1-3 Man City: Match Review

    After a fourth defeat in six Premier League matches for Frank Lampard and Chelsea, is time running out for the coach? Jack Rathborn, Will Dubey and Grant James sit down straight after the 3-1 defeat to Man City to voice their exasperation with the performance and some key decisions made by Lampard. The coach had a full week to prepare to face Pep Guardiola but a 6-0 loss would not have been unfair on a team who spent more than 200 million in the offseason. What is going wrong?

Great podcast!

Probably the best Chelsea podcast around as it's 45-60 minutes of solid analysis without distractions or fluff.

Top shelf

Concise, to the point, analytical without the fanboy emotion you hear on most of the other Chelsea podcasts. I’m a newcomer to the fanbase, so I don’t need to be fed a bunch of hopes and dreams; I just want to know what’s going on on the field, and these guys give it to me. Plus a killer intro.

Best Chelsea podcast I’ve heard

All three of the hosts have been around the game and the club, amazingly in depth coverage of the games and of goings on in and around the bridge. A must for any true Chelsea fan wanting to stay informed.
