What's up blues fans Brendan London here and I want to welcome you all to another episode of Chelsea Mike

of the official Chelsea FC podcast. We were the shield again. I'm Brendan London coming to you from New York City and I got my friends along with me again. I'm Emily here in Chicago and I'm Andre here in the DMV and I'm Lee here. I'm in London. So as we kick this thing off, it was a disappointing and frustrating draw for our men against Burnley, but it's a good frustration because the expectations are high this season, y'all. We still got one point out of it. So bringing back all

Pat Nevin theme mixed with French Montana song. Don't panic. We're still at the top of the table and this international break comes at the perfect time for us to restart. We're also going to be talking about how the Chelsea women took down Aston Villa 1-0, but they also had their work cut out for them as well. And on today's episode, we'll chat through our performance against Burnley with the international break. We'll bring us and we've got some huge news coming out of the US. We're

evolving the women's super league and we're bringing back Andre's opinion. A.O. for that. Plus, Emily takes us into her NHL world by sitting down with Toronto Maple Leafs, Goldtender and Chelsea supporter Peter Murasic. Let's go blues.

We're bringing back L.O.L. but it's the remix. It's not London on London. It's Leon London. So Leon, I'm handed over to you. Kick this thing off, my man.

Oh, I'm not sure I can deal with the pressure. What an intro. Thanks, Brandon. Wow, what a weekend. I think you touched on it there. It was on face value, disappointing and frustrating draw with Burnley, but we'll get into the performance because there weren't too many disappointing elements to the performance aside from maybe a couple more goals. But before we do, let's hear what boss Thomas Tuchel had to say to us shortly after the full time whistle.

It's a very frustrating result, but it's the opposite of a performance. It's a very strong performance from the first to the very last minute.

Two minutes, we lost control of the match and they were lucky to get this goal. This can happen in football. It was on us to take one of our chances. We created so many chances.

I liked how we played today, like the intensity, the quality, the commitment from the whole group. We had big chances to win this game by two or three goals.

It can happen in football. We don't want it to happen, but it can happen when it happens. It's very disappointing, of course, because we are all very competitive.

But yeah, it's no other way than accepting it and pick the positive. There's a lot of positive to take.

Pretty happy with the performance and rightly so. I was going through my notes and I'm not going to bore you with all of them because it will take a while.

But I was going through like the first half and it was something like this. Four minutes, hugs to the door, a double chance.

Six minutes, James shot deflected over. Seven minutes, Christianson had a wide, nine, sure-world shot, and he goes on and you get the drift.

But the amount of possession they had, again, similar to Malmo, 70% roughly possession, the amount of chances they created, the attacking, flowing football was second to none.

And it was just missing a couple of goals. And then you put it into contact. You think, you're missing Romelu Lukapi, you're missing Timo Verna, great.

And then you look at some of the other results across the Premier League again this weekend. And you think, not a bad point. And in previous seasons, I'm not going to draw too many comparisons.

But let's just say in previous seasons, we may have drawn with Burnley and we may have then gone on to win the Premier League title.

So it might be an omen. I'm not getting carried away, am I, Andre?

I don't think you're getting carried away at all. And actually, you know what I really love. I really love Thomas Tuchel. He didn't seem like he was getting too upset either.

I think one thing that you often get with managers who really like crave a lot of control is these kind of matches can really frustrate them.

Like they can be really angry about that. You know, they can be upset about the little momentary laps where you just kind of had one thing happen and it happened to lead to an equalizer and you end up dropping two points.
