Is Enzo Maresca Happy? | Fernandes’ Explosive Interview | Howe on Guimarães
Tom White and Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony discuss Enzo Maresca’s comments this week following a turbulent weekend. The Chelsea boss insists he is “happy” at the club and is “falling more in love with the players,” just days after saying he had experienced “the worst 48 hours” of his time at Chelsea. Darragh describes Maresca as a “serial trophy hunter” and “one of the better managers this season,” while Chelsea fan Charlie, who was at the game, joins us to share the mood among supporters after the 3–1 Carabao Cup win over League One side Cardiff.Next, we turn to an explosive interview with Bruno Fernandes, who admitted it “hurt” to realise the club “wanted me to leave” after Saudi side Al-Hilal proposed a £100m fee for the 31-year-old. Manchester United fan Joe praises Bruno’s numbers since joining the club, even comparing the United captain to Kevin De Bruyne.Finally, we discuss Eddie Howe’s response to Bruno Guimarães’ comments from the weekend, after the midfielder branded Newcastle’s performance against Sunderland “embarrassing” and “a mess.” Howe pushed back, saying, “We weren’t a mess — I think Bruno’s very emotional.” Craig Hope suggests the manager was sending a message to the dressing room that talk is cheap and performances must improve on the pitch. Newcastle fan Matthew joins us, criticising Howe’s team selection for the derby and arguing the club have lost some of their identity this season and need to get back to basics.Watch us live, Monday to Friday, 10am until Midday on Sky Sports News or listen to the podcast as soon as we come off air.

Charlie highlights the defensive vulnerability of Amorim’s side.We’re joined by Manchester United content creator KG to discuss just how clutch Bruno Fernandes has been, as well as the situation surrounding Kobbie Mainoo, after his half-brother Jordan was photographed wearing a “Free Kobbie Mainoo” T-shirt.Next, we turn to Enzo Maresca’s situation at Chelsea following a surprise cryptic statement at the weekend, when he said it had been “the worst 48 hours” since he took charge. Charlie feels the comments were directed at the owners, not the players — but does Maresca still have enough credit in the bank, or is the pressure already building for him at Chelsea? Darren from the Chelsea view says he’s won two trophies and has a young side, which is improving all the time.Finally, we ask whether Aston Villa deserve to be third, examining Unai Emery’s side and their remarkable overperformance of xG. Charlie labels xG a “nonsense stat,” while Villa fan Justin joins us to argue that Villa can sustain this form consistently, despite the numbers suggesting they should be lower in the table.
