The Scouser in our team S5 E17

It’s November 26th and proper football is back. Welcome to the latest edition of our show. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz and Sean. We’ll talk about the solid away performance at the home of the team with 115 charges, we will look ahead to LASK and Fulham (and maybe Sheffield United away). And maybe cast an eye elsewhere…. 

Part One - highlights and regrets

• Team selection 

  
  



• Jet lagged performances? Ali - ‘he needs to be stronger’, 4 missed passes

  
  



• Overall reflections on the Reds

  
  





• City goal - 1.3 xG is some defensive performance 

  
  



• Trent (with his new boots), observations and performance - midfield excitement. 9 possessions recovered.

  
  



• Our second half performance with Diaz and Gravenberch

  
  





• A few words about the cheats - League One? The crowd?

  
  

Part Two - looking ahead

• No Jota or Alisson for the next few?

  
  



• Doak against LASK? Chambers? Jones at right back? Endo to start a couple.

  
  



• Less than 72 hours to Fulham, just over 72 till Sheffield United

  
  



• Fulham and Sheffield United - the threat? 

  
  





• Fulham did draw at Brighton but have looked a bit toothless overall. They play the Wolves tomorrow.

  
  



• Sheffield United will be up for it. Did draw at Brighton, lucky to beat Wolves, but if we score early, they have shown that they will wilt. Face Burnley next.

  
  





• Formations and predictions

  
  

Part Three - elsewhere

• Everton’s punishment

  
  



• Chelsea sequence 4-1, 4-4, 1-4. Reece James record.

  
  



• We can contend for this, can’t we? Kyle Walker - ‘not even close’

  
  



• Arsenal and Villa win, United and Newcastle also, Spurs 3 loses in a row. 

  
  

We will be back after the Sheffield United game. Thanks to Sean and Daz. And thank you dear listener for joining us.
