Episode Notes

Not pretty… but we’re in the semis.

Chelsea made it hard work at Cardiff with the B-Team out, looked shaky when they levelled, and for a moment it felt like last week all over again. Then Neto and Garnacho showed up and reminded everyone what actual quality looks like.

We get into the drop-off after the first 15/16 players, who’s just not at the level, and why the rotation is starting to feel like a risk rather than a strength. Plus props for Caicedo doing Caicedo things, and another good night for André Santos.

And yeah — Maresca’s pressers. What’s going on? Who’s he clashing with? And is any of this messing with team selection?

Voicenotes on all that and more.
