Summary
Daryl is joined by Andres Eduardo of the Roman's Empire podcast to preview Chelsea's 2019-20 season.
We cover the entire team from front to back, get into the details of Lampard's playing style, explain where Christian Pulisic fits into the system and why he might succeed, get excited about Ross Barkley running at defenders, and try to figure out which of the three available strikers Chelsea will field.
Andres also makes a compelling case for why the transfer ban may result in a change of approach at Chelsea which could see the club finally play the kids, and transform CFC from Premier League villains to heroes.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the total soccer show. |
| 0:20.0 | My name is Daryl Grove and I'm still not joined by Taylor Rockwell here in studio because he is still on vacation at the beach, a well-earned vacation for Taylor Rockwa. |
| 0:31.1 | Today's guest is Andres Eduardo. Andres is one of the co-hosts of Romans Empire, a Chelsea podcast. And I wanted to get |
| 0:39.9 | Andres on the show, not just because I love puns. And Romans Empire is a great pun, but because |
| 0:44.8 | Andres is someone who has a really good understanding of what's going on at Chelsea right now. |
| 0:50.1 | And there's a lot going on. It's a really odd situation at Chelsea. also has a good read on the new style of play under Frank Lampard. |
| 0:58.8 | So listen in to this interview with Andres and you're here all about Sorry Ball and why despite finishing third in the Premier League and winning in the Europa League, Sari kind of had to go. |
| 1:09.1 | And what things are going to look like under Frank Lampard Jr., how the team is going to play, which young players will benefit, and crucially, what Christian Pulistic's role is going to be. Okay, we have more of these Premier League previews coming throughout the week. We'll be previewing all of the big six and maybe wolves as well. |
| 1:29.5 | Enough from me. Here's my interview with Andreas Eduardo, all about Chelsea Football Club. |
| 1:34.9 | Andreas Eduardo, welcome to The Total Soccer Show. How you doing? |
| 1:38.6 | Doing all right, Daryl. I appreciate you reaching out, man. Love to talk Chelsea. |
| 1:42.9 | All right. Great. Yeah, you are a member of |
| 1:44.4 | the Romans Empire podcast, which I've got to say is a magnificently named Chelsea podcast. Oh, man, |
| 1:50.1 | I can't take credit for the title. I got to join Zach and Somm during their second full or |
| 1:56.0 | third full season. Now I'm a full-time member, but it is quite clever. We're just crossing our fingers that |
| 2:01.7 | Roman doesn't sell the club anytime soon because we are fresh out of ideas for a new podcast title. |
| 2:07.4 | So yeah, let's start there. The danger for you is that Roman leaves. And right now, as I understand |
| 2:13.0 | it, he's still in trouble with the UK government and can't enter the UK. Is that still the situation? |
| 2:18.5 | That is definitely still the situation. So it all started with the fact that he was or he is a Russian |
| 2:24.5 | oligarch. So he thought, okay, so to avoid this, I just need to become a citizen of a country |
| 2:30.6 | that's not Russia. So everyone's like, okay, no big deal. He'll do that. |
