Morning Blues: Can Mike Penders Make the Number One Spot His Own?
Emi Martínez’s fractured jaw means Mike Penders finally gets his first real run as Chelsea’s number one, and it comes against Spurs, Liverpool and Man United. On today’s Morning Blues, I explain why this is the chance I’ve been saying he needs since the summer, what he has to do to make it a genuine contest when Martínez returns, and why Petrović under Pochettino is the example to follow. I also look at why the win at Everton could be a turning point under Xabi Alonso, Jorrel Hato’s growing threat in the final third, the weekend round-up, and tonight’s Spurs v Coventry before Saturday’s game at the Bridge.
