Dharmesh Sheth is joined by ESPN’s Mark Ogden, The Mail’s Craig Hope and The Mirror’s John Cross to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Man United’s chaotic home win against Chelsea. Craig believes United will always have enough quality to keep bad managers in good jobs. But will this win be a turning point in their season? Next we look at Graham Potter, who’s feeling the pressure as West Ham were booed off, after a loss at home to Crystal Palace. Mark believes Potter tries to play an attractive style of football, but is there any way back for him from here? We also look at the difficult situation at Wolves, and whilst Vitor Pereira is struggling, Craig argues that Wolves have the right man in the role, and losing Cunha and Ait-Nouri was always going to be tough. Elsewhere, we look at Arsenal v Man City; John thinks Liverpool are setting such a relentless standard, that already in the season we have must-win games for the teams looking to challenge. We then move to Liverpool’s Merseyside derby win. Mark highlights Liverpool’s fire power but there’s also a running theme of throwing away leads this season. Finally, The Athletic’s Charlotte Harpur comes on to the pod to talk of the sad news of Liverpool FC Women’s manager Matt Beard’s passing. Charlotte talks of Matt’s legacy both on and off the pitch, including consecutive WSL wins and Matt's empathetic character.

Savannah DeMelo's collapse on Lumen Field on Sunday quickly became the most important story in the NWSL. DeMelo was responsive and alert before she was stretchered off the field, and thankfully, the league tried to learn from their poor handling of the Savy King incident by suspending the match. The guys offer some quick thoughts on DeMelo as a player, and what has made her special throughout her career. After the whiparound, the guys dive into Gotham FC's decisive 2-0 road win over the San Diego Wave. Can Gotham continue this rich vein of form, now that most of the attack is healthy and Jaedyn Shaw is among their ranks? What can the Wave do to stop the bleeding, aside from another swing of luck?

Belz and Vince talk through the action, the contrast in minutes at striker, the problems we caused ourselves with our defensive shape, and our inability to adjust in-game, and whether a better list of call-ups solves anything (we think it does).

Jimbo's got Matt Davies-Adams, Michael Cox and Tom Williams alongside him to run the rule over a busy weekend of international qualifiers and WSL action.

There's a chance to reflect on the news that broke late on Thursday that Daniel Levy is to leave Tottenham after nearly 25 years as the league’s longest-serving executive chairman. And the brand new WSL season got underway in some style with Chelsea continuing their remarkable unbeaten run, Olivia Smith scoring a banger on her Emirates debut - and Ornella Vignola bagging a hat-trick on her debut at Anfield in the Merseyside derby!

Jonathan praises Anderson and Madueke but Jacqui questions whether England are on track, as fans need to believe they can win, ahead of the World Cup next year. Next to Daniel Levy’s Spurs exit. Jonathan talks of the ex-Tottenham Chairman’s longevity, but will Levy’s twenty-four-year stint in charge be seen as a success, with an ultimate failure to reach the glory of the bigger trophies? Then we’re joined by The Athletic’s Megan Feringa to talk WSL; £1m signing Alyssa Thompson joins an already-strong Chelsea side, favourites to become champions again. And Megan praises Arsenal’s display against London City, particularly Olivia Smith’s long-range goal to help Renee Slegers’ side make a winning start to the season Finally, back to England, and has Tuchel underestimated his job? Jonathan thinks Tuchel has learnt from his first few games in charge, understanding you can’t overcomplicate the tactical side of international football, with the lack of time to practice with his players.
