The Athletic.

This is straight out to Cobham, the Chelsea FC podcast from The Athletic.

Once a week we get together to discuss all the big news and notes from Stanford Bridge,

and it being Chelsea, we're rarely short of content. On this episode, we'll talk Thomas Tuchel as the new Blues boss settles into life as Chelsea head coach. There are wins and clean sheets to reflect on two, as well as two games to preview. We'll doff our metaphorical caps to the women's team after they became record breakers and answer your questions. Available for free, wherever you get your podcasts and ad free on The Athletic, this is Straight Out of Cobham.

Hello, listener, hope you're well. Matt Davis Adams here once again, joined by the Athletics

Front Three. Simon Johnson is with us. Hi there. So to Dominic Fifeield. Hello, Matt.

And of course, Liam, to me. Liam, it was a delight to see you live and in living colour at the bridge on Sunday. And then you went viral with a tweet, this tweet about Robbie Brady and Sean Dyshe's Exchange. If anybody missed it, this is how it went. Dyshe to Brady after that last Hudson-Adoi overlap. Robbie, tune in.

Brady, I know where he effing is.

I just can't stop him.

What do you want me to do? This must be a rare treat, Liam, this kind of thing in these days of support of the stadiums. We were kind of hoping there'd be a bit more of it, I think, but it was worth the weight in this case. Yeah, no one was hoping, I think, more so than Don Fyfield, who was tasked with writing a long read earlier in the season about the things that players said on the pitch.

And I think we quickly found that interesting comments were quite few and far between.

But that one, as soon as I saw it, I mean, it cracked me up in the moment. But it stuck in

my mind just because it was such a funny, honest exchange. You don't usually hear that kind

of refreshing honesty on the football pitch. Having seen the sequence of play that kind of led to

it, I sympathise with Brady as well because he did know where

Hudson Adoy was. Hudson Adoy gave him about a two or three yard head start in a chase for a

pass from Mason Mount and just beat him easily because he's faster. So I could understand Deich's

frustration in the moment, but I could also understand Brady's sense of helplessness.

And I think it was quite an interesting exchange, just because it was indicative of the kind of

broader helplessness that Burnley felt during that game as Chelsea just passed the ball around them.

Yeah, absolutely.

So, Dom, did you mainly find that the things that you hear are shoulders, space, seconds?
