Chelsea are through to the Carabao Cup Semi Final after a 3-1 win over Cardiff City, but it wasn’t straightforward. Manny and Simon review a poor first half from a heavily rotated side, before Enzo Maresca’s substitutions turned the game around and ultimately won it for the Blues.

The hosts dive into a growing concern — Chelsea’s backup players simply aren’t good enough right now, leaving Maresca in an almost impossible situation when rotation is required. They also revisit Maresca’s post-Everton press conference, where his comments appeared to be aimed directly at the club hierarchy, raising bigger questions about squad planning and support.

Finally, attention turns to a huge Premier League test away at Newcastle on Saturday. Can Chelsea take this momentum into one of the toughest away grounds in the league?

🎧 Progress in the cup, problems in the squad, and a massive weekend ahead.
