S3E05: Classic Bit Of Barclays

Published: Oct. 5, 2020, 10 p.m.

The wild weekends of Premier League action just keep on coming and Rebecca & Alex have another bumper episode to try and break down yet more chaos in the Barclays. We start with Aston Villa's 7-2 win over Liverpool (no, we actually didn't all dream it). We chat about how good Villa's performance was, Liverpool's issues in the midfield and the defensive high line, what Klopp can learn from this defeat, whether Virgil van Dijk is truly a leader, and Adrian being made the scapegoat yet again. We got another crazy result as Tottenham destroyed Man Utd 6-1, with Jose Mourinho finally getting his revenge on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - condescending head pat and all. We chat about Spurs' improvements, Lamela's sh*thousery, Man Utd's shambolic defending, Solskjaer continuing to get an easy ride from the media, and Patrice Evra's epic meltdown on Sky. We also dig into a good weekend for Rebecca and Chelsea finally, a great debut for Ben Chilwell, goalkeeping improvements, and whether Chelsea's forwards quite fit. There's also chat about Pep vs Bielsa, why Man City keep dropping off after 20 minutes, unbeaten Everton, Pickford's issues, whether Brighton are clinical enough, Arsenal's fascinating transfer window, Burnley actually being relegation candidates, and the David Moyes work from home revolution continues. Plus, the backup keeper dilemma, 'Match of the Day Boo', Eric Dier and Jose Mourinho's toilet conversations, thirsting over Calvert-Lewin, Lucas Digne as Lee from Steps, posting season reviews to Barcelona fans, Ozil as Gunnersaurus, Man Utd fan fiction, Solskjaer's stinky bin, believing in the dress, the Jaffa Cake debate, 'fool of a Took', and Rebecca's pasta machine story. **Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts, as it makes it easier for other potential listeners to find us.
