I'm happy to finally release an early version of a little database, free for all to use in analysis. I've added all Chelsea 25/26 match reports so far for all competitions.
I hope to add past seasons and more detailed stats too in the future.

Given we’ve signed like 100 players from 800 targets in the last like 3 years, we really are very stupid as a fanbase.

Every summer we’re linked to like 75 players. Stop taking everything so seriously.

[Max @MaxFSport]

Not every transfer rumour needs micro-analysis. *If* Chelsea are interested in Yohanna, then it would 99% be for Strasbourg, especially with Moreira being rumoured to go. It’s June 3rd. Long summer ahead.

[CFCAnalytic @CFCAnalytic]

ALONSOOOOOOOOO

[Pys @CFCPys]

🚨 🔐 BREAKING: Josh Acheampong will be STAYING at Chelsea. First decision made by Xabi Alonso and Chelsea together. Seen as UNTOUCHABLE. #CFC (@FabrizioRomano)

[Declan @declanstar1]

7 more league titles.
6 more FA Cups.

Yet people still argue Chelsea are the bigger club.

What am I missing? 👀🍿🔴⚪️

Are you getting Salah/Mane/Firmino to run up and down entire lengths of the pitch to defend deep in a 5-3-2/4-4-2 then all the way back up on transition, sustain some pressure, then all the way back down and do this x50 a season?

Probably not.

[CFCAnalytic @CFCAnalytic]

Because you can’t defend as well with elite forwards.

It’s impossible to defend *like that* and also have great attacking threat. Players would just die with the amount of running up and down they’d need to do.

[Johyan @JohyanCruyff]

Imagine even 2 of that PSG front 3 in Arsenal’s frontline, or Klopp’s L’Pool front 3, Arsenal have often lacked balance in attack (lack of runners or too many) yet alone quality

Saka’s great, Havertz is good, I don’t think the rest are up to standard though, not even close

[CFCAnalytic @CFCAnalytic]

Are you going to be able to convince *elite* attackers to run back and defend the way they do?
Mourinho is the only man who’s ever managed that. And he did so in less intense schedules and games.

[CFCAnalytic @CFCAnalytic]

Is this round 15 of Arteta just not learning this?

[CFCAnalytic @CFCAnalytic]

Back just to say that today another top example with the flaw of just sitting in and absorbing pressure in games like this. Useful a lot of the times, but in big games where margins are everything sometimes you HAVE to take the game to the opposition.

[CFCAnalytic @CFCAnalytic]

And this is why Arsenal are Arsenal.

Proud gimmick after losing a UCL.

[HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal]

Hand on heart, I dont feel sad at all. Im so fucking proud of this group. Won us a PL after 22 years and took us to a UCL final. Kings who will be remembered forever. 99% of Europe would want our season.

Thank you Mikel and Thank you Arsenal.

I recognise my football club again.

[CFCAnalytic @CFCAnalytic]

Genuinely don’t think the final miss for Arsenal could’ve happened to a more deserving player than Gabriel.

[CFCAnalytic @CFCAnalytic]

Gabriel missing it
I’m speechless I’m so happy this feels like number 3

[CFCAnalytic @CFCAnalytic]

I don’t think that’s a penalty solely because Madueke instigates the arm contact.
Madueke has more dragged himself and Mendes down together.

[CFCAnalytic @CFCAnalytic]

PSG need to be clinical ASAP.

They’ll get more leggy as the game goes on, and they’re already struggling with second balls.
Runners of Noni + Gyokeres with Eze in the pockets to lay them off is dangerous in the game state.

[CFCAnalytic @CFCAnalytic]

The only thing I can muster is it’s a genuine attempt to play the ball.

Realistically though, it should be a red card.

[Johyan @JohyanCruyff]

Would love to hear the reasoning behind Mosquera not getting a second yellow there

[CFCAnalytic @CFCAnalytic]

HOW. IS. THIS. NOT. A. SECOND. YELLOW?
