Career Reflections

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE. We’re delighted to be joined by Liverpool legend and one of our most requested guests, Steven Gerrard, as he sits down with the panel to reflect on his incredible career in the game. The conversation begins with the current situation at Liverpool. With Arne Slot under pressure and Mo Salah announcing his exit, Gerrard shares his thoughts on the club and explains why he has found it difficult to watch at times this season. We then move into his journey in management, starting with his time at Rangers, where he led the club to a memorable title-winning season. He also reflects on his spells at Aston Villa and in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Ettifaq. Looking back on his playing days, Gerrard opens up on the moments that defined his career at Liverpool, from the biggest highs to the toughest challenges, including the times he came close to leaving before choosing to stay. International football also comes into focus, as Gerrard gives his view on England’s golden generation, what went wrong, and why that team fell short of expectations. To finish, Gerrard and Carragher go head-to-head in a game, but who comes out on top? Gerrard, Lampard or Scholes, who are you taking?

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE. After last week’s blockbuster episode, Ange Postecoglou returns to join Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright for a deeper look at his life in and out of football. Ange reflects on his upbringing in Australia after his family moved from Greece, how that shaped him, and where his love for the game truly began. The conversation then turns to his coaching journey, from developing his bold tactical identity at Tottenham to his short spell at Nottingham Forest. Does he regret taking the job at the City Ground, and would he make the same decision again? We also revisit his time at Spurs, including winning the Europa League against Manchester United, managing top players like Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, and how he views both the highs and the setbacks. Celtic, VAR and what comes next in his career are all up for discussion, as well as his view that the Manchester United job is “the hardest in football”. What club would you like to see Ange manage next? Let us know in the comments and don’t forget to like and subscribe so you never miss an episode of The Overlap. This episode is sponsored by Huel.

Mateo Kovacic is the latest guest in the hot seat on the Official Man City Podcast… The Croatian midfielder joins hosts Sam Cox and FG as he returns for his second appearance on the podcast. Kovacic starts with a look back at his arrival in the summer of 2023 and what it was like joining a City team that had just landed the Treble. And he explains what it is like walking into a dressing room full of superstars having also done so at former clubs Inter, Real Madrid and Chelsea. In an incredible career, the 30-year-old has won the Champions League four times, La Liga and the Premier League as well as playing in a World Cup. But he also explains that he often focuses on the negatives of his game rather than looking back at his phenomenal achievements. And in another fascinating and wide-ranging chat, Mateo also talks about how the dynamic in the changing rooms has evolved over the years, scoring spectacular goals and some of the great players he’s shared the pitch with.
