Episode 165 - CHELSEA BEAT WREXHAM 4-2 BUT SIMON IS NOT IMPRESSED - A Tosin and Badiashile Defensive Horror Show Ahead of PSG

Chelsea stumbled past Wrexham 4-2 in an FA Cup display that was far more uncomfortable than the scoreline suggests, with a heavily rotated side looking disjointed, leaky at the back, and nowhere near the clinical edge of the Villa performance. Four goals should mean smiles. It does not.

Simon is back solo and in full rant mode, tearing into a defensive performance that had no business being that sloppy against Championship opposition. Tosin and Benoit Badiashile were the particular targets of Simon's fury — two players who had every opportunity to make a case for selection and instead raised serious questions about the depth of this squad when the first team is rested.

The silver lining? Port Vale await in the next round, and with a kind draw presenting Chelsea with arguably their best route to silverware this season, Simon asks whether this squad has the focus and consistency to take that opportunity seriously. A trophy is there for the taking — if Chelsea can be bothered to show up properly.

But the FA Cup conversation quickly takes a backseat to the biggest game on the horizon — Chelsea vs PSG in the Champions League. Simon previews what promises to be an electric European night and asks the question every Blue is thinking: can Chelsea channel the spirit of the Club World Cup final and deliver a performance to remember against the French giants?

🎧 Wrexham scraped past, Port Vale up next, and PSG on the horizon. Simon holds nothing back.
