Enzo Maresca challenged his Chelsea second-string players to show 'we are men' before their 5-0 Carabao Cup win over Barrow in which he made 11 changes to his starting XI.
The Italian, who saw his team win for the third game in a row to ease through to the fourth round and continue the fine start they have made under his leadership, brushed off the significance of changing his entire line-up from Saturday's win over West Ham.
He also targeted a consistent playing approach from his team regardless of which side he chooses to field.
