Episode 118 - Flamengo 3-1 Chelsea – Maresca’s Tactical Misfire, Jackson’s Red & Must-Win vs ES Tunis
Description
Chelsea Against The World returns after a tough 3-1 defeat to Flamengo in the Club World Cup. Simon and Manny dissect what went wrong on the night, with a sharp focus on how Enzo Maresca’s tactical approach was outclassed, leaving the team exposed and disjointed.
The conversation turns to Nicolas Jackson, whose reckless red card cost Chelsea again. Is it time to question his future at the club? The hosts debate whether his raw talent is being overshadowed by poor decision-making and lack of composure when it matters most.
There’s also a wider discussion about the toxic negativity from certain Chelsea content creators, who seem more interested in clicks than constructive analysis. Simon and Manny call for a better standard of discourse around the club—especially in moments like this.
Finally, attention turns to the crucial final group stage game against ES Tunis (Esperance) on Tuesday in Philadelphia. It’s a must-win. What needs to change, and who can step up to save Chelsea’s tournament?
🎧 Real talk, sharp analysis, and a call for perspective—don’t miss this one.
