In this week's episode, we discuss some of the interesting moments at AFCON. Algeria and Senegal, considered as favorites, are struggling to win games (actually Algeria hasn't won a game yet!). Cameroon, Nigeria, and Morocco have been the most convincing teams so far.

Tough time for the blues. With the loss to City, where does the problem lie? Is there a performance issue (...Lukaku?) or is it more due to tactical decisions? Or is it a combination of both? Gerrard vs United! Villa making big moves on the transfer window and it seems to be working with Digne and Coutinho having an instant impact. Maybe this is the move needed for Coutinho to rejuvenate his career. On the other hand, United are still in shambles. Rangnick's hasn't delivered results yet. Somebody is being dishonest in the Martial situation and Ronaldo's critics of his teammate is one of the issues that United has to deal with right now. Everton has sacked Benitez but were they ever a good match in the first place?

Lastly, we'll talk transfers with a focus on 3 french internationals: Martial, Ndombele, and Dembele (where are they going?)
