Podcasts about Xabi Alonso

Chelsea were held to a frustrating draw at Stamford Bridge by a well organised Hull City side, and Simon and Manny break down a result that exposed all the familiar problems while still offering a glimpse of something better. Midfield issues. Defensive fragility. The same old story. But here is the thing — this is a game Chelsea would have lost last season. Is that progress?The hosts make a genuine case for patience with Xabi Alonso. The problems he inherited run deep, the squad still carries the mental scars and the bad habits of last season's collapse, and that kind of rot does not disappear in a matter of weeks. Alonso is building something and the hosts urge supporters to give him the runway to do it properly.There is real praise too. Morgan Rogers continues to be a revelation and is fast becoming the most important signing of the summer. Cole Palmer is back to his very best. Joao Pedro remains a constant threat. The attacking spine of this Chelsea side is genuinely exciting and the hosts cannot get enough of it.But Simon and Manny are blunt about the other end of the pitch. Malo Gusto and Wesley Fofana should not be starting games for a Chelsea side with ambitions of competing at the top. The hosts explain exactly why both need to be moved out of the first XI if Alonso is serious about closing the gap.Then attention turns to a tricky Friday night trip to Brentford before the international break — a game Chelsea simply cannot afford to slip up in.

Phil Neville (@philipneville18) joins Robbie Mustoe (@robbie_mustoe) at the desk to recap a spicy and fiery Manchester Derby which saw two highly controversial refereeing decisions and a winning goal from Erling Haaland. The guys also break down Mikel Arteta's strong comments following Arsenal's difficult away win at Sunderland, the long road ahead for Roberto De Zerbi at Spurs, and where the gaps in the squad are for Xabi Alonso's Chelsea.

Chelsea scored six against Leeds — but the final score hides a much more complicated performance.This week, we look back at the 6-3 Carabao Cup win and ask whether Xabi Alonso over-rotated, how much Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers changed the game, and whether Chelsea's control issues are still a concern.We also discuss the biggest talking points from Alonso's latest press conference before previewing Saturday's Premier League game against Hull City.Hull arrive at Stamford Bridge unbeaten in the league and yet to concede a goal, while Chelsea have an extraordinary historical record against the Tigers.Also discussed:Who earned more minutes against Leeds?Does Welbeck deserve to start?How important is Morgan Rogers becoming?Can Chelsea break down Hull's compact defence?And our score predictions for Saturday.From The Shed End — Chelsea discussion, analysis and reaction.

Chelsea produced one of the most extraordinary halves of football you will see all season, recovering from a diabolical opening 45 minutes to demolish Leeds 6-3 in the Carabao Cup. Simon and Manny break down a comeback that was as thrilling as it was necessary — a genuine shot in the arm for a fanbase still smarting from the weekend defeat at Arsenal.The praise flows freely. Cole Palmer was at the heart of everything good about the turnaround, pulling the strings and reminding everyone exactly what he brings when Chelsea click. Morgan Rogers continues to justify every penny of that record fee. Danny Welbeck brought exactly the quality and experience that made his signing so smart. And Valentin Barco announced himself with a performance that will have Chelsea fans demanding more minutes. This was the squad working precisely as intended.Xabi Alonso earns serious credit too. His ruthlessness at half time — the willingness to make bold changes rather than hope things improved — turned the game completely and offered a glimpse of a manager who will not tolerate the passivity that plagued Chelsea under his predecessors. That decisiveness matters.Simon and Manny also bring some much needed perspective on the Arsenal defeat. Yes it hurt. But Arsenal away with a patched-up midfield was always going to be a mountain to climb, and the absence of Moises Caicedo was a huge miss that exposed exactly the depth issue the failed Camara deal created. This is a team improving, in a project with clear direction, and the hosts see genuine reasons for optimism about where this is heading.

Kelly Somers, Paul Robinson, Charlie Adam and, Alistair Bruce-Ball react to the second night of the opening Champions League matches, including Liverpool's 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid and, Arsenal's narrow win in Italy against Napoli.

Arsenal showed the resilience of champions, coming from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 in a fiery London derby at the Emirates Stadium. Moh and the crew lock in to analyze how the Gunners maintained their 100% winning start to the season despite receiving an early shock. We dissect Morgan Rogers opening the scoring in just 77 seconds following his £117m summer move, Kai Havertz haunting his former supporters with a clinical equalizer, and Martin Ødegaard taking total control of the second half to notch the decisive winner. We evaluate Cole Palmer's subdued outing and debate whether Chelsea is anywhere near ready to compete for the Premier League crown under Xabi Alonso.

Mikel Arteta got one over his old pal Xabi Alonso as Arsenal beat Chelsea. Today, Marcus, Luke and Pete reflect on that and wonder whether there could be some romance in the title race this season.Elsewhere, we discuss a beautiful goal from Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Fulham's woes and Jamie Vardy's return to England. Plus, speaking of old friends, Marcus' pal Adam Clery has uncovered more info relating to the Mike Dean controversy.Get your Football Ramble x Admiral kit here.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

With the European seasons well underway, it was a weekend where many contenders suffered dropped points or upsets.Musa and Ryan begin with a quick dart around some of these games, including Real Madrid's defeat to Betis, Atleti losing at Athletic Club, Bayern dropping points and PSG's winless start continuing. They then turn to Arsenal and Chelsea, who played out a hugely entertaining headline fixture at the Emirates, which the Gunners came through victorious (11:13). After analysing the game itself, some changes to Mikel Arteta's side this season and the way they've evolved, they then move on to some chat about Chelsea (28:13). Despite the defeat, they were plenty of things for Xabi Alonso, as well as Chelsea fans, to feel encouraged about, especially missing a key part of their midfield in Moisés Caicedo.There's a big shout out for Hull City (40:44), who continued their unbeaten start, and some other results, including Everton's late equaliser against Manchester United and more late drama in Serie A.The Champions League is back this week, so it's a perfect time to sign up as a member at https://www.patreon.com/stadio.You'll get two extra episodes this week, plus access to every single episode, ad-free and in full.For more podcasts, ad-free and in full, plus access to the Stadio Social Club and much more, you can become a Stadio member by signing up at patreon.com/stadio.

Estêvão chose Chelsea partly because they saw him as a No.10. So why is a possible wing-back role now part of the conversation?Tim Vickery and Henry Winter discuss where Brazil's exceptional young talent fits under Xabi Alonso, the competition from Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers, and why Michael Owen's injury history is a reminder to be patient.Elsewhere, who is setting football's agenda: people who understand the game, or whoever shouts loudest online? From fake quotes to a young Corinthians supporter needing a police escort after receiving Neymar's shirt, Tim and Henry explore what happens when rivalry turns into hostility.They also debate how an opposition candidate could beat Gianni Infantino, why the Club World Cup matters so much in Brazil, whether Flamengo can challenge Europe's best, and why Martin Ødegaard might be Arsenal's best “new signing”.This is Futebol & Football with Tim Vickery & Henry Winter on FC Camisa.

Það eru fjögur lið með fullt hús stiga eftir tvo leiki í ensku úrvalsdeildinni. Það eru Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City og.. Hull City. Það er óhætt að segja að Hull sé í draumalandi eftir fyrstu tvo leikina en fyrir tímabil var þeim spáð 20. sæti í flestöllum spám. Guðmundur Aðalsteinn fékk því Friðleif Friðleifsson, mikinn Hull stuðningsmann, í heimsókn í Coke stúdíóið í kvöld. Haraldur Örn Haraldsson fór einnig yfir sterka byrjun Xabi Alonso hjá Chelsea.

Two exceptionally strange opening matches for Chelsea, two back and forth high scoring matches where Chelsea mostly conceded possession with a lead, but both deserved wins, and both featuring a new thing under the sun in a "box and one" buildup structure. We walk through what we've seen so far, whether it is anything or not, how it fits within Xabi Alonso's career and ideas, and talk about how Morgan Rogers' new role may work and whether there was ever room for Enzo Fernandez here. Support the show

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Óscar Portugal para analizar toda la acción del fin de semana en la Premier League...Comenzando por la nuevamente precocupante derrota del Tottenham a manos del nuevo Newcastle de Matthias Jaissle; continuando por el empate de sinsabores del Liverpool de Iraola en la visita del correoso Nottingham Forest; la amplia victoria del Manchester City de Cherki y Haaland en casa del Crystal Palace; antes de sumergirnos en la deslumbrante segunda victoria liguera del Chelsea de Xabi Alonso ante el Brighton; el igualmente bombástico triunfo del Manchester United ante el Ipswich en un duelo repleto también de polémica y surrealistas vacíos legales en las reglas del fútbol; mientras que para el Sunderland mucho más ajustado pero seguramente también más justa la forma en la que ganó al Fulham; cosa que ni Leeds ni Brentford fue capaz de hacer contra el otro, ganar, en un entretenido empate; como también lo fue, con muchas ocasiones para unos y otros, el Bournemouth vs Everton; mientras que el Hull City fue capaz de evitar un empate y conseguir una segunda victoria en su choque contra el Coventry para afianzarse como una amenaza al Arsenal por el título; antes de bajarnos al repaso de la jornada de Championship y a relatar la experiencia de Ander y Óscar viendo juntos en directo el Racing de Santander vs Elche del pasado Viernes en La Liga.

A winning start to life as Chelsea manager for Xabi Alonso has got John Obi Mikel excited. Here, him and Chris McHardy assess their 3-2 win at Fulham on the opening week, and explain why, in Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro, they might just have the league's most devastating forward line.It's not all good news though as Mikel says ‘enough is enough' with Robert Sanchez. Is Emi Martinez the answer, what of young Nigerian-Italian Honest Anahor and is Alex Scott the right man to replace wantaway Enzo Fernandez.Mikel also can't resist a pop at Manchester United (look away now, Harry Maguire), has a warning for Ayyoub Bouaddi and explains why he DOESN'T have a problem with Ollie Watkins' antics at Aston Villa.Oh, is Cole Palmer the player to watch in the Premier League this season…

Chelsea beat Luton 2-0 in the Carabao Cup but nobody is talking about it, because Chelsea are signing Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa for £7.5m and it changes everything. Simon and Manny react to a deal that finally addresses the single biggest weakness in this squad — Robert Sanchez is no longer Chelsea's number one, and a World Cup winning goalkeeper with genuine elite pedigree is walking through the door for a fraction of his value.The hosts applaud the decision wholeheartedly. This is exactly the kind of decisive, targeted business Chelsea have failed to do for years. But it comes with an obvious and slightly infuriating question — why on earth did it take this long? The Sanchez conversation has been going on for seasons, the evidence has been overwhelming, and the fact that it took until now to act says as much about the club's decision-making as the signing itself does about their ambition.Simon and Manny also give their full assessment of the impending Enzo Fernandez departure. After a saga that has dragged on all summer, the hosts are in agreement — he should go. A player who does not want to be at Chelsea has no business being at Chelsea, and with the window closing, both hosts explain why cutting the cord is the right move for the player, the manager, and the dressing room Xabi Alonso is trying to build.Add in a routine cup win over Luton and Chelsea suddenly look like a club making grown-up decisions.

Ander Iturralde de la bienvenida a Óscar Portugal y Bruno Alemany para analizar toda la actualidad de la Premier League y el fútbol inglés... Comenzando por el triunfo del Chelsea sobre el Fulham en el que quizás fue el mejor partido de la primera jornada y también el inconfundible, extravagante, duelo de los más recientes exentrenadores del Real Madrid, Álvaro Arbeloa y Xabi Alonso; continuando por toda la variopinta acción de la Carabao Cup con todas victorias esperadas, una paliza del Brentford sobre el Birmingham City; otra del Tottenham sobre el Charlton; una tanda de penaltis vencida por el Hull City en Stoke; el Ipswich hundindo todavía más en la miseria al Leicester; el Newcastle ganando al West Brom apuradamente; el Leeds volviendo a ganar en Nottingham, por segunda vez en cuatro días; antes de continuar con el repaso a la ronda final de clasificación a la Champions League, incluyendo la humillante eliminación del Celtic de Glasgow; la impresionante victoria del Fenerbahçe para clasificarse a la primera fase final de la competición desde el Pleistoceno; los fichajes de los últimos días; rumores y mucho más.Escucha la versión completa de este episodio PREMIUM de 1:27:09 de duración, apoya a que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 5.50$/5.50€ en: Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/alineacionindebida/posts/el-esplendido-de-167795495Vídeo: https://www.patreon.com/alineacionindebida/posts/video-el-debut-y-167800035Además...

Le Barça de Flick peut-il entrer dans l'histoire en remportant une troisième Liga consécutive… et en regagnant la LDC, douze ans après la MSN de 2015 ? On s'attarde aussi sur Rodri, et sur la place qu'il pourrait prendre dans l'histoire du football s'il ramenait la C1 à Barcelone. Deuxième partie : Chelsea, ses ambitions en Premier League et le projet qui se dessine autour de Palmer et Morgan Rogers. Deux équipes très ambitieuses, beaucoup de talent… et une saison qui pourrait définir leur place dans l'histoire.

The vibes are officially back at Chelsea. A 3-2 opening day win over Fulham delivered everything a season opener should — Joao Pedro on the scoresheet after just 32 seconds, Cole Palmer looking like the player everyone fell in love with, and Morgan Rogers marking his Chelsea debut with a goal that immediately justified the record fee. Simon and Manny are buzzing, and rightly so.The hosts break down a hugely encouraging first look at Xabi Alonso's Chelsea, singling out Maxence Lacroix for particular praise after a superb debut that delivered both a brilliant assist and the kind of composed, no-nonsense defending this back line has been crying out for. If that is the standard, Chelsea have found something special.But it was not all perfect. Three points cannot paper over a shaky display from Robert Sanchez, and Simon and Manny ask the question that will not go away — do Chelsea need a new goalkeeper? Is Sanchez the single biggest obstacle standing between this squad and a genuine title challenge? It is an honest and uncomfortable conversation that needs to be had before the window closes.Speaking of which, the Enzo Fernandez saga rumbles into its final week with no resolution in sight. Will he still be a Chelsea player when the window slams shut? Simon and Manny give their verdict, before looking ahead to Luton in the Carabao Cup and a chance for Alonso to build momentum early.
