Cardiff 1–3 Chelsea | The B-Team
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. — Support the Show — See more of the show on Instagram Get a Chelsea poster from Graficona And write us a 5 star podcast review — Meet the Hosts — Chris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.

Chelsea 2–0 Everton | London Buses
Not a game that’ll live long in the memory… but we’ll take it. Chelsea 2-0 Everton wasn't a classic but after the last few weeks it was exactly what the doctor ordered. Palmer’s back, Palmer’s scored, and for a brief moment everything felt normal again. We chat through the big bits: Gusto popping up with another one (London buses and all that), why the Fofana–Chalobah partnership is starting to feel like an actual foundation, and Maresca having a bit of a wobble in the post-match press conference. Then it’s on to Cardiff in the League Cup — the Kellyman subplot, the danger of a lower-league scrap if we start slow, and the expectation of a heavily rotated XI.

Atalanta 2–1 Chelsea | Passive
Four games, no wins, and you’re left wondering how we’ve managed to drain all the momentum out of our own season. Chris and Joe break down a night where Chelsea were passive, slow out the blocks again, and never once went for Atalanta’s throat — even at 1–0 up and seemingly in control. We get into the patterns creeping back in: sluggish starts, no punch after conceding, and a team that looks comfortable only when the wind’s blowing our way. Enzo’s legs, Pedro’s hold-up play, and Badiashile and Gittens showing exactly how big the quality drop-off is from the first XI. Then it’s Maresca. The subs, the constant reshuffling at centre-back, full-backs playing midfield, Tosin reappearing from nowhere, and that uncomfortable feeling of not quite knowing if he’s the guy — even after Barcelona. Plus a look ahead to Everton and a December run that could get ugly fast if this wobble isn’t snapped.

Leeds 3–1 Chelsea | FFS
From Arsenal pride to Elland Road humiliation in four days. Proper crash back down to earth. In this episode, we pick through that 3–1 defeat at Leeds — from Enzo Maresca’s team selection and the cursed centre-back pairing, to a side that looked like it couldn’t be bothered from minute one. The 'young team' excuse gets binned as we talk leaders, standards and why some of these lads are on their last warnings. We also get into Maresca’s blind spots, the obsession with “red zones”, the ridiculous drop-off from our best XI to the B-team, and what sort of reaction we have to see away at Bournemouth if we’re going to trust this project at all.

Chelsea 1–1 Arsenal | Big Balls
All square at The Bridge and Chelsea showed some real character. Proper balls. We talk Reece bossing midfield, Caicedo’s red and how 10-man Chelsea still went toe-to-toe with the league’s top side. Sanchez’s resurgence, Marseca’s tweaks, and why this can’t just be a one-off if we’re serious. Then we look ahead to a big midweek trip to Dirty Leeds...!

Chelsea 3–0 Barcelona | Dark Horses
One of those Bridge nights you don’t forget in a hurry. Chelsea didn’t just beat Barcelona — they bullied them. We get into Cucurella locking down Lamal, Caicedo and Enzo running the game, and Estevão announcing himself on the biggest stage like it’s nothing. Marseca’s big-game plan, the atmosphere, and what a win like this really says about where this young side is headed.

Burnley 0–2 Chelsea | Under the Radar
Wasn’t pretty, wasn’t thrilling, but it’s exactly the kind of win you want straight after an international break. We chat through the 2–0 at Burnley: slow start, odd-looking XI, then two real moments of quality to get it done. Santos running the game, Pedro Neto everywhere, Delap doing all the hard bits and none of the easy ones, and Tosin still giving everyone mild palpitations. There’s talk on three clean sheets in a row, Chelsea maybe – maybe – learning how to manage games, and Maresca’s 50th match in charge with the away end properly behind him. And then a look ahead to Barcelona under the lights and Arsenal at the Bridge, with Chelsea quietly putting a little run together while nobody’s really talking about us.
