On the final Clash of the Correspondents of the week James is joined by Liverpool fan Dan Lord and Nottingham Forest fan Mark Sutherns ahead of Saturday's meeting at Anfield. On the Podcast...

There's discussion on the recent tactical tweaks from both tactically that has seen Trent Alexander-Arnold move into a midfield position in possession and Forest's switch to a back three. There's of course coverage of the best Liverpool assets for Free Hitters this weekend and for those investing longer-term including one under the radar budget option, and is Mo Salah the right captaincy choice this weekend?

Liverpool are eased out of the Champions League by Real Madrid, ending their trophy hopes in the process.

Michael Bailey, Joe Bull, and JJ Mackenzie are here to talk about some football. Arsenal have a lovely day against Fulham on the banks of the Thames with a 3-0 win. But is Fulham’s sensational season so far starting to come unstuck? Most of us expected the west London side to be a relegation candidate this year, but they’re not. Instead West Ham, Leicester City, Crystal Palace, Wolves and Everton are some of the teams in trouble in a way that’s surprising. AFC Bournemouth were backed to be down in the depths when the season began, but after their 1-0 win over Liverpool and a strong performance against Arsenal; could the Cherries actually ripen in the top tier? Man Utd drew 0-0 with Southampton over the weekend but tried Jadon Sancho out at number 10, which was very interesting so we spoke about it. We comprehensively cast our eyes over the last 16 ties for the Champions and Europa Leagues. Plus, we discover how hard it actually is to read and write everything backwards.

7-0. It's still not getting old and we're not sure it ever will. Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool utterly demolished Man United at Anfield and while all the talk from certain pundits was how bad they were, Josh and Dan decide to focus on just how good Liverpool were tactically on the day, what changed in the system to allow us to play that way and what we can take from it moving into a tough period of game for the Reds! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of the Designated Players Podcast, we are back and we're finally delivering on our dedicated episode to MLS' newest franchise, STL City SC! We start off by recapping how the team has lined up thus far in their opening 2 games, and talk about the success of their tactics thus far. Next we'll talk a bit about how we think things will shape up for STL throughout the remainder of the season. Finally, we'll wrap things up by talking about the electric atmosphere at the home opener ...

Not for the first time in recent memory a big Liverpool victory against Manchester United meant it was an FPL Gameweek that none of us will forget and many Wildcarders were left flabbergasted with their returns... and that includes James. Suj & James review a weekend dominated by home teams and what is next for their FPL teams. Is James full of regret or does he feel unlucky? And Suj is still not sure what direction he will head in having not Wildcarded this week. Could Wildcard now or in GW28 be a solution to navigate what's to come? Plus insight into all the games, including tactical insight into Liverpool's 7-0 win, the GW27 doublers on our mind with focus on why Brighton are so difficult to overlook, if Erling Haaland is expendable, why on this occasion Tottenham were a little unfortunate but were outsmarted by Julien Lopetegui's switch of system in the 2nd half, Arsenal won late on again and Chelsea finally picked up a much needed 3 points...

And the LA Galaxy didn't really have an answer. Nor did they have any width or wingers. So why are significant changes expected over the first half of this season? On today's show, host Josh Guesman (Kevin Baxter is on Vacation) talks about the Galaxy's 3-1 loss to Dallas and why there's much to be desired outside of the Galaxy's midfield. Josh will start by breaking down the game into sections. He'll talk about Dejan Joveljic, who scored a goal but was mostly absent on the night, and the defense that looked like they didn't know how to play together. Why was Josh hyped about Jalen Neal and Preston Judd making their MLS debuts? And why could all back four positions be changed around? Could the Galaxy's backline feature three players under 22? And why would the Galaxy be wise to get that going as soon as possible? Plus, what do the current left-back rumors say about Greg Vanney's trust in Raheem Edwards? And could Edwards be the winger you've been waiting for? We've got a great little show for you today. And we've delighted you could join us!

Manchester United ended their five year trophy drought by beating Newcastle United in the League Cup final. We discuss if this is the symbolic start of something good for Erik Ten Hag and his team, and if the League Cup is a minor or major trophy… In Scotland, Celtic win another League Cup and we ponder if the dominance of Ange Postecoglou’s side will keep on going. Forever. Tottenham find themselves in the top four after beating a defensively and offensively lacklustre Chelsea 2-0. At this point, the redemption arc for Graham Potter at Chelsea is going to be quite epic if it does come… We talk for a bit about quite how drastic the collapse in standards at Liverpool has been, and Jon gets very excited about Javi Gracia’s first game, and victory; as Leeds United manager. Plus, we briefly look at how Paris St Germain will probably win Ligue Un again but probably not the Champions League. And, even more briefly, we cast our eyes over the last 16 draw for the Europa League, Europe’s second most major, or minor; cup competition.

Joe Devine, JJ Bull and Jon Mackenzie are here to talk about some football. Arsenal continued their best ever start to a top flight season with a 3-2 win over Manchester United. But are Mikel Arteta's touchline antics a marginal gain or a sign of the moral failure of the entire football club? Chelsea versus Liverpool was not that interesting. So instead we spoke about Chelsea's new lengthy contracts. Are they an unusual outlier or a presage of things to come? We move on to a win for West Ham in Frank Lampard's last game as Everton manager. Did we record before he was sacked? Of course we did. There was also an inexplicable amount of discussion about cows in this episode. The Tifo football podcast is presented by Joe Devine and produced by Steve Hankey. Hosted on Acast.

Adam Leventhal is joined by James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein & Jack Pitt-Brooke to debate and analyse the values and importance of a no.9 in international football. With the likes of Olivier Giroud, Richarlison and Harry Kane all playing prominent roles in their nations' hopes of winning the World Cup, yet playing the centre forward role in a differing way: what exactly are the hallmarks of a successful no.9? The role of a false nine, target man and wide forward converted into a striker are all evaluated as well as the evolution of the centre forward through football history along with the role academies have played in the 'decline' of no.9 production.
