Straight Outta Cobham: The Athletic FC's Chelsea show

Is pressure mounting on Maresca after meek FA Cup exit?

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
