Summary
We've missed you, Reece (and Trevoh...)...
The Athletic's Chelsea writers Liam Twomey and Simon Johnson are alongside Matt Davies-Adams to look back on the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth. We lament yet another second half collapse, weigh up the positives and negatives of Nicholas Jackson - and revisit the accusations of tactical naivety levelled at Enzo Maresca.
So, a response is needed on Monday night against a Wolves side who sit inside the relegation zone but have form when it comes to picking up three points and springing a surprise at Stamford Bridge..
We also touch base with the latest January transfer window activity - including the recall of Trevoh Chalobah from Crystal Palace and the rumoured departures of Christopher Nkunku and Axel Disasi - and the news that the club have been found PSR compliant.
Plus - have we seen the greatest performance in the history of the quiz?
We'll be back on Tuesday to reflect on the visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers and find out how Chelsea Women get on back in WSL action against West Ham on Sunday afternoon.
HOST: Matt Davies-Adams
WITH: Liam Twomey and Simon Johnson
