Maresca Left Exposed, Mainoo Questioned & Festive Chaos

On this episode of The Bodega Babies Podcast, we break down a turbulent festive period in the Premier League — and ask the uncomfortable questions clubs don’t want to answer. We start at Chelsea, where Enzo Maresca’s tactical ideas are colliding with deeper institutional issues. Is the board and sporting structure failing the manager? And why does it feel like the fan base is paying the price for long-term confusion and short-term thinking? At Manchester United, the focus turns to Kobbie Mainoo — but with a new angle. We discuss how Amorim’s recent tactical and managerial adjustments have changed United’s approach, why those changes were made, and why they might finally be showing early signs of improvement. We also zoom out to assess the festive period itself — fixture congestion, player fatigue, squad depth, and whether the Premier League’s most traditional schedule is now doing more harm than good. Insight, frustration, context, and clarity — all in one episode. 🎧 Listen now.
