Chelsea take charge of WSL title race - plus a tactical deep-dive and returning legends
Straight Outta Cobham: The Athletic FC's Chelsea show11/18/24 • 45 min
Chelsea Women are *literally* perfect...
Matt Davies-Adams and Liam Twomey are with you for your Monday dose of Straight Outta Cobham.
Jessy Parker Humphreys drops in to reflect on the huge 2-0 victory for CFCW over title rivals Manchester City at Stamford Bridge - which leaves Sonia Bompastor's side with seven wins from seven and a hugely significant three points against their closest challengers.
Then, The Athletic's football data writer Thom Harris stops by to give us an insight into some of the tactical intricacies of Enzo Maresca's Blues - including whether there's any fitting Christopher Nkunku into the current system, Cole Palmer's best role, and whether the omission of Enzo Fernandez is actually costing Chelsea from an attacking perspective...
There's a brief whistle-stop tour around some of the international action, plus a word on the latest FFP implications - and we revisit the 'which former player would you bring back and put in the current team?' debate!
We'll be back on Thursday to look ahead to Saturday's trip to Leicester - and bring you the result from Wednesday's visit of Celtic in the Women's Champions League.
HOST: Matt Davies-Adams
WITH: Liam Twomey, Jessy Parker Humphries and Thom Harris
PRODUCER: Lucy Oliva
