  • Is pressure mounting on Maresca after meek FA Cup exit?

    Is pressure mounting on Maresca after meek FA Cup exit?
    Feb 10 2025
    Well, that didn't go very well... Matt Davies-Adams has got Liam Twomey and Simon Johnson alongside him to look back on the pretty abject 2-1 defeat by Brighton on Saturday night which saw Chelsea dumped out of the FA Cup. We take a deep dive into the lacklustre performance, the absence of any fight or desire from the players - and the growing feeling of discontent around the job that Enzo Maresca is doing following his post-match comments that they could now 'focus on the Premier League and Conference League' - which it's fair to save haven't gone down particularly well with the fanbase. No such problems for CFCW - who fought back from a goal down to beat Everton 4-1 and book their place in the quarterfinals of the Women's FA Cup. We'll be back on Friday to look ahead to the trip to... oh no, Brighton! HOST: Matt Davies-Adams WITH: Liam Twomey and Simon Johnson PRODUCER: Lucy Oliva Learn more about your ad choices.

  • FA Cup 4th round clash kicks off Brighton double-header

    FA Cup 4th round clash kicks off Brighton double-header
    Feb 6 2025
    Nothing says magic of the FA Cup like a trip to the seaside at 8pm on a Saturday night... Matt Davies-Adams has got Simon Johnson and Luke Bosher alongside him to look ahead to the first of two visits to take on Brighton in the space of less than a week. We're joined by The Athletic's football tactics writer - and Brighton fan - Liam Tharme to get an insight into the Seagulls AND a word on some of the standout tactical intricacies he's noticed from Chelsea so far this season. We give some final reflections now that transfer window is *finally* closed - including what it means for potential game time for Christopher Nkunku now that speculation about his future is on hold - and a sure improvement in Enzo Maresca's mood after a month of distraction. There's all the Blues news elsewhere, and a quiz! We'll be back on Monday to reflect on events at The Amex and find out how CFCW fare against Everton in the 5th round of the Women's FA Cup.

  • A win's a win against West Ham amid a flurry of deadline day (loan) departures

    A win's a win against West Ham amid a flurry of deadline day (loan) departures
    Feb 4 2025
    We don't want your shorts, Enzo... Matt Davies-Adams has got Jessy Parker Humphreys and Liam Twomey alongside him run the rule over the *slamming shut* of the transfer window AND the crucial three points against the Hammers. We begin with events on the field, as Chelsea came from behind to win a Premier League game at Stamford Bridge in which they’ve trailed at half time for the first time since December 2013 (no, seriously!). We reflect on the 2-1 win over West Ham - with the help of Simon at the ground - which certainly wasn't pretty but was mightily important for Enzo Maresca. Then - we attempt to round up all the deadline day deals, including the loan departures of Disasi, Felix, Chilwell and Chukwuemeka - as well as a host of academy products. What does it all mean?! With Jessy in tow it would be rude not to check in with the latest news surrounding CFCW - still unbeaten after a scrappy 1-0 win at Aston Villa courtesy of a fortunate late own goal but with Keira Walsh already looking like she could be a key difference maker with the quadruple still on... We'll be back on Thursday to preview Saturday night's trip to the seaside to take on Brighton in the 4th round of the FA Cup!
