#947 | Ed and Dan react to a breathless, chaotic 4–4 draw that managed to be both exhilarating and deeply exposing. They break down United's aggressive pressing, fluid attacking movement, and how the side functioned without a recognised striker, while also confronting the defensive fragility that turned control into volatility. The discussion moves through tactical trade-offs, shape-shifting between a back three and a back four, and the consequences of those choices under pressure. Individual performances are assessed in detail, including Amad's influence, Bruno Fernandes' authority, and Casemiro's role. There's also scrutiny of managerial decisions, the impact of Afcon, and what this match says about the limits of flexibility versus structure. The episode closes by looking ahead to Aston Villa, weighing likely selections, priorities, and how much adjustment this squad can realistically absorb. 00:00 First impressions from a chaotic 4–4 04:03 Defensive vulnerabilities and systemic flaws 07:49 Back three vs back four – what worked, what didn't 12:33 Goals and individual performances 25:29 Bruno Fernandes – quality, responsibility, future 34:45 Amorim on youth and squad trust 39:29 Looking ahead to Aston Villa – selection dilemmas 45:04 Final reflections If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Het Marokkaanse Elftal floreert op alle vlakken, maar dat was niet altijd het geval. Ali Boussaboun, Nourdin Boukhari en Noureddine Alterch maakten ook de dieptepunten mee van de Atlas Leeuwen. Voorheen stond het, volgens de heren aan tafel, vooral bekend om macht, amateurisme en privileges. Een trip down memory lane met de oud-Feyenoord en -Ajax spelers.

Will Perry is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Sam Dean and Jack Pitt-Brooke to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We begin with Mo Salah, asking whether his twenty-minute appearance against Brighton marked a Liverpool farewell before his departure for AFCON. Next, we turn to Arsenal's late home win over Wolves, with Jack asking whether their recent habit of conceding late goals reveals a vulnerability we didn't see earlier in the season.We then move to the Ashes, with Adam Collins joining us to discuss how England's performances have been perceived in Australia. Adam considers the tough conditions in the Adelaide heat for the third Test, and we ask whether England will make changes to the team.Finally, we look at Enzo Maresca's dramatic comments after the win over Everton, describing it as his worst 48 hours since joining Chelsea. Jack felt the remarks came out of the blue and were notably vague, and while they didn't appear to be aimed at the fans, we ask whether they reflected a deeper discontent with the club itself.

#946 | Ed and Dharnish reflect on United's recent run, using the games against West Ham and Wolves as a lens to assess where Ruben Amorim's side is making progress and where problems persist. They dig into tactical patterns, selection decisions, and how absences for AFCON are exposing the limits of the squad. The conversation broadens into the issues shaping United's season – financial constraints, January options that look more theoretical than realistic, and the ongoing tension between short-term fixes and long-term planning. There's also a discussion on the club's relationship with its academy, why pathway matters culturally as well as competitively, and what it says about United when young players are trusted – or overlooked. The episode also covers the women's team's recent struggles, a positive note from the Youth Cup win over Peterborough, and the emergence of JJ Gabriel as a player to watch. The show closes with a look ahead to Bournemouth and growing concerns about depth as the calendar tightens. 00:00 Introduction 02:03 Looking back on West Ham and Wolves 07:21 Assessing Amorim's Progress 12:22 United's Financial Situation 17:36 January Transfer Window 27:51 Women's Team Update 30:57 Youth Cup and JJ Gabriel 36:16 Bournemouth Preview 46:18 World Cup Ticket Prices 53:30 Wrap Up If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Manchester United fan Alex Trembath and Bournemouth fan Neil Grover to discuss the latest at their clubs ahead of the Gameweek 16 Monday Night Football at Old Trafford. There's discussion on form, with United comfortable winners at Wolves on Monday but they haven't won their last two at Old Trafford and opponents Bournemouth have won 3-0 on their last two visits. But they themselves have only won two out of eleven. FPL Talismen Bruno Fernandes and Antoine Semenyo are discussed, the impact of AFCON - particularly on United, differentials such as Marcus Tavernier and Matheus Cunha, whether Patrick Dorgu and Diogo Dalot are worth consideration and whether owers of Marcos Senesi should continue to keep faith despite The Cherries conceding the second highest total of away goals this season.

We'll wrap with a quick Refill of headlines from Liga MX, Brazil, Europe's title races, and the college game to get you ready for another massive week in the world's game.

After Manchester United became the first team in 8 months to beat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to analyse that victory along with Arsenal's draw at 10-man Chelsea.There's detailed analysis on the personnel utilised in the wing-back roles after Ruben Amorim admitted that two of those players are currently playing “far from their best”.After Bruno Fernandes overtook Paul Scholes on the list of record Premier League assists, Rio admits that nobody could be expected to replace the output of the captain - even when he's playing in a deeper role.Rio also compares the challenge for Joshua Zirkzee to the one that former team mate Diego Forlan faced and questioned whether the Dutchman has the self-belief to command a regular starting spot.Zirkzee may be given more opportunities during AFCON where Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbuemo will miss up to seven league matches during the most congested part of the season - something that worries Ste and Rio. They believe the depth of Amorim's squad is not sufficient without further reinforcements.Joel is happy with Arsenal's point at Stamford Bridge and Rio compares the mentality of the Arsenal players to that of his title-winning squads in terms of playing rivals away from home.
