Juan Mata: Chelsea's main man | Stats compared to last season
Juan Mata has been an integral part of Chelsea’s play since he joined under Andre Villas Boas in the summer of 2011. His influence last season was instant, scoring on his debut against Norwich. He played a vital role in providing much needed creativity in a side which relied on defence towards the latter parts of the season. After the Euro’s and Olympics, Mata started the season looking jaded, but after a break from international duty and a rest from …

Chelsea: What's going wrong at home? Stats & Tactical Analysis
Chelsea under Rafa Benitez at home and away are two completely different propositions at this current moment in time.

What to do with a problem like Ramires? Stats Analysis
Ever since Ramires has come to the English game, I’ve been a big fan. Although slight in frame, he is someone who has energy in abundance and can change a game, Barcelona away sticks in the memory. However, with new signings coming in, his place in the team is in question, not only is his place in question, his role in the side is in doubt.
Last season, AvB started the season with a 4-3-3 formation and Ramires was in …

Chelsea shouldn't forget John Obi Mikel
With Chelsea winning the Champions League and the big spending that has come from it, you may forget one of Chelsea's best performers at the back-end of last season.
