Liverpool vs Manchester United: The Thrilling Draw
00:00:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Liverpool Podcast brought to you by the Global Sports Podcast Network. It's the Monday review show and Liverpool remain at the top of the Premier League after Sunday's game against arch rivals Manchester United. It finished all square, a really thrilling 2-2 draw in a wet and icy Anfield.
Frustration Over Liverpool's Performance
00:00:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're going to go through all the action and analysis on this game in the company of Adash Ramchun. How are you doing, Adash?
00:00:39
Adarsh
Yeah, no, I'm doing good. i Just kind of frustrated with yesterday's performance. A lot of anticipation going into the game that we would win. But yeah, there's a lot to talk about about this game. So looking forward to talking about it.
00:00:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Carl Coppock, Carl, looking a bit down.
00:00:53
Karl
Well, Liverpool beat Man United, and Liverpool should beat Man United, and Liverpool decided not to put a plan together where they should beat Man United, and that's not good enough. And the captains used those words as well, that wasn't good enough, and he's absolutely right.
00:01:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
and And the captain did not look happy during that game.
League Standings and Missed Opportunities
00:01:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Louis, Louis is with us as well. How are you doing, Louis?
00:01:14
Louie Easton
Well, it's a pretty unfortunate thing to come back from holiday to. to. um But, you know, at least all I can say is Chelsea and Arsenal drop points as well.
00:01:26
Louie Easton
So we're not the we're not the only ones.
00:01:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. And we've got a full house. We've got Tom Goud as well. tom it sounds like we It sounds like everyone is really down. It sounds like it feels like a defeat.
00:01:36
Tom Goward
Yeah, it does feel like it's a defeat. It's a bit flat here. It was a bit flat in my household as well tonight, so not good. But apart from that, I'm alright and we've got many more games to look forward to.
00:01:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
We have, yeah. All right, let's so kick so kick things off. It was another big game for the Reds, a Sunday late afternoon kickoff, which meant they were able to watch on as two of our closest rivals, Chelsea and Arsenal, both dropped points. Really missed the chance to put some you know some real pressure on Liverpool before this game against United. Chelsea drew one all away at Crystal Palace. Arsenal drew one all away at Brighton.
00:02:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
think the Arsenal draw was, you know, very significant. A win for them would have meant just a gap of three points between us, ah you know, before the game against United, but they failed to take that opportunity. Arsenal have got to be kicking themselves yet again, Adarsh, you know, bearing in mind the points that we've dropped today as well.
00:02:36
Adarsh
Yeah, no, I think they would. They will be.
Discussion on Arsenal's Missed Chances
00:02:38
Adarsh
They have dropped points in quite a lot of games this season as well. So it's for them, they've had a lot of missed opportunities. And I think from a little point of view, were always there was always going to be points where we would drop points. We weren't always going to win every single game. So I think from an asked point of view, that was a missed opportunity for them. but But at least we can say they haven't gained points on us. And if anything, it's just been another game that's ticked off and everyone's kind of stayed at the same level on the same point. So from a little point of view, that's the only sort of positive I'm really taking.
00:03:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, Karl, is that going to be our saving grace, the fact that, you know, Arsenal, yeah particularly with Saka now being out for probably a couple of months now, look a bit, yeah, look a bit toothless up front, and they just don't seem to be able to take advantage of any kind of wobble that
00:03:15
Louie Easton
and Winery as well.
Analyzing League Competitiveness
00:03:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
we have.
00:03:23
Karl
I think the problem with this is we we're infected by Man City Itis where you you have to win every single game to win the league.
00:03:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:30
Karl
Arsenal are incapable of winning every single game. I don't think we are either based on what I saw today. So they're going to drop more points and they're going to find you know themselves a goal down a wet Portland road and struggle and contenders.
00:03:42
Karl
They're not strong enough. This is a league where I think it's a very imperfect league. I'm a made up of to be where we are within the league. But but Chelsea, Chelsea could have gone top the day we played Tottenham.
00:03:55
Karl
And now they're like 17 points behind us on something stupid like that. Ridiculous. And Arsenal will again, Arsenal, of all the teams, they're the most capable of getting some points back on them.
00:04:05
Karl
But Arsenal is still going to drop points bright in the ways as as we'd We've been bitten there more than once. it's it's not a difficult you know place to go.
Liverpool's Performance Critique
00:04:15
Karl
It is a difficult place to go and win the game, but it's it's frustrating today because, you know, it would have been another two points up on them. And I read some somewhere on social media today that someone said, but you've got a pity poor Jurgen Klopp, he's got to be perfect to win the league. And you can't do that. And now we're in the league where people are literally throwing points at us. So, you know, even when Liverpool are an imperfect side,
00:04:37
Karl
And, you know, people seem to go, have another two points. We'll draw this one. You go and we didn't do it today. So, I mean, the most important thing for the day-to-day thing without the emotion would be that we're exactly where we were on Saturday morning.
00:04:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
It would be nice.
00:04:49
Karl
And it's another game that Arsenal can't take back off us. We're another point but another game closer to the end of the season with Liverpool in the lead. And that's the main thing. but it's the app to today it was frustrating because of the application.
00:05:01
Karl
didn't look like a side capable who had genuinely astonished that the opposition had a go and we weren't prepared for that and that's genuinely not good enough for Liverpool. I don't think we were professional off the date.
00:05:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you really think that's the case? though part I always find that really, I just find that so surprising.
00:05:15
Karl
People were talking about 5-0s and 7-0s and things like that and 1-0 is good enough.
00:05:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, but professionalholders
Manchester United's Improved Form and Weather Impact
00:05:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
professional footballers, Arnie Slott surely would have, you know, driven that message into the players that look, this is Manchester United. Yes, they're not on on great form. But you know, this is probably their biggest game of the season. I don't care what anyone says about Manchester City. This is the one that they they will really want to win.
00:05:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I just can't, I can't get my wrap my head around Liverpool being complacent. But then again, Louis, we did seem like we were on the, you know, we we but didn't seem prepared, like Kyle said, for the fact that United were going to turn up. And to be fair to them in that first half, they just look like a completely different team to the one that we've seen in the last few weeks.
00:06:04
Louie Easton
I mean, you have to factor certain things in. you know Trent, for example, he had an awful, awful week. and And there are plenty of talks about him off the pitch. Secondly, there was the whole idea that there might have not even been a match on because of the snow. And then we saw it's quite a slippery pitch. The players weren't really prepared for that, ah ah having to shovel all the snow off the pitch. Then it was icy and the rain was coming down. so you know, for a lot of our players, maybe other than Andy Robertson, they are not used to these weather
00:06:39
Louie Easton
So maybe that could be a factor. we ought i I did see a bit of arrogance in some of the performances, but I don't think our players would have been completely complacent.
00:06:49
Louie Easton
I i don't think that's a factor.
00:06:51
Karl
The problem with that note is, though, United played in exactly the same conditions.
00:06:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:56
Karl
They've just been battered at home by Newcastle and they're on and they've been booing players off the pitch.
00:06:56
Adarsh
Yeah.
00:06:57
Louie Easton
Yeah, you make a good point.
00:07:01
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:07:01
Karl
And they just thought, you know what, we're not doing that anymore. We're going to stand up and be Man United at Anfield.
00:07:07
Louie Easton
Yeah, I understand that, but then that also made for a more chaotic match as well.
00:07:07
Karl
and liverpoolre where
00:07:11
Louie Easton
So, you know, tactics sort of went out of the window at times, especially in that last 15 minutes when it was just, you know, playing based on pure vibes and playing up to the Anfield crowd.
00:07:11
Karl
Yeah.
00:07:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Tom, this Manchester United team that we saw today, do you not think that this is a really kind of backhanded compliment to Manchester United?
00:07:23
Karl
Yeah.
00:07:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because I think this is the worst this is the worst thing about this Manchester United team is that this should be Manchester United week in week out. They have got players. They've got very, very good players. They've spent a lot of money. And this is the kind of performance that they should be putting in. If not week in, week out to make them title challenges, but certainly more consistently. And the fact that they just decide to turn up Anfield because it's probably the biggest game of the season for them just to derail Manchester, Liverpool's title bid.
00:08:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know, surely that's a backhanded compliment to them because likelihood is next week they're going to revert revert back to time.
00:08:16
Tom Goward
Yeah, I think a lot of Liverpool fans online, and I don't know about you guys, I think we got ahead and thought we we'd batter them today. I think, you know, there was players online making jokes like Patrice Everett and Gary Neville and stuff saying they hope the game got cancelled today because of the snow, because they were fearful. and I don't know if that maybe filtered down to the Liverpool players today and they got a bit too confident, a bit cocky and thought, OK, well, we've seen this United performances for the last few weeks. The Newcastle one last week, that first half an hour was worst that United fans have seen in a long, long time. And then sort of say you sort of arrive at Anfield, you know, the crowd at Anfield. And and yeah, I think it is a bit and
00:08:56
Tom Goward
But for credits in United, I thought they turned up for minute one and all the way to the end. And they probably deserve, they felt a win. They deserved a win. But I draw what they would take away to Anfield considering how they've played recently. But it's just disappointing, really, especially the magnitude of that game.
00:09:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Adash, first half, Liverpool seemed to find it hard to find space in midfield. You know, Agate, Maynu coming in for Ericsson and Casamira. God, I wish they those two were playing tonight. You know, it did seem to make a difference in that midfield for them.
00:09:31
Adarsh
Yeah. And I think with, uh, menu and a garter and then also I'm Adam Fernandez. I think that actually had a massive impact. it's, it's strange because Liverpool's midfield never gets sort of, I wouldn't say overrun or outworked, but it did feel like we were outnumbered at times in the midfield.
00:09:44
Adarsh
I thought from a little point of view, Curtis Jones was really poor, in that first half kind of taken a bit too long on the ball, um too many touches.
00:09:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:09:48
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:09:52
Adarsh
former Callisto on the other hand was exceptional. I mean, i've I've said it a number of times on this podcast, but the fact that he gets so under, not underappreciated, but not, I don't think he gets as much praise sang as other players in the team for his outstanding. and I felt he was the one that was sort of bringing the game to, to United in that first half. But yeah, I think tactically from United, they definitely set up to sort of stop the Opals midfield. I think we, we, we weren't really ready for that. And they probably, from that first half performance, I think
00:10:21
Adarsh
Whilst you United, I don't think in the first half we'll go for it. I think they kind of control the game much better than we would. So yeah, that kind of set the temper for the first half and then obviously the second half we don't really come out with all guns blazing. So yeah, it's very disappointing in general, but I midfield battle, United kind of edged it out there.
00:10:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Karl, why did they edge that battle? Did they edge that battle or or was it because because sometimes I was looking at it and it was it looked like a back six. It was like 10 men, it was Mourinho back again, 10 men behind the board.
00:10:46
Karl
Yeah,
00:10:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Best will in the world, is it isn't it difficult to to break down a team when they come 10 men against behind the board?
00:10:57
Karl
yeah it it is. and agree Curtis was poor. i think I think the United basically got ahead of us, they just just by sheer attitude. like We're going to have a go and there's that time where Holden goes down the wing and he can't can't find, I think it's made him in the middle. And then we go down the sides too often. I mean, if we didn't have McAllister in that game, we I think we're talking about having defeat because there was a minute in the first half, it was about four minutes in and we were getting pressed and pressed and pressed and harried all the time. And he had three lads on his back.
00:11:32
Karl
right on the touch line and he just did this little wriggle and just moved himself out and just gave a square ball and as if to say lads for Liverpool you can do things like that this is amazing and then there's a I thought it was interesting what Keen said before the game he said if found out if that's me I'm attacking Robertson and they disagree with that I thought we're attacking Trent don't think Trent got much help, to be honest, from the people in front of him in midfield in particular. That's not to excuse him, because I thought that's that's comfortably the worst game he's had since Old Trafford a few years ago, when they beat us 2-1. But I think that actually does a lot. And when you know but we go a goal down, we get back in again, we go ahead, and even then, you just, as Virgil said afterwards, you you just control the game and think, right. And I don't know if that is an issue, because you know we we led
00:12:20
Karl
at Newcastle when we didn't deserve to. And no we could have talked three points from that. We didn't. And the same again today. And United were the better teams. tonight They just were the better team.
00:12:31
Karl
And I thought their application was excellent. They pressed when they're in the right places to press. think I think I'm ad supplier. I really do. And they just they were filling the half spaces better than we were today.
00:12:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:12:43
Karl
I thought we just look we looked a bit tired. on And I'm probably going to come on to it, but I mean, I'm really, really disappointed with but the managers that I really, really desperately disappointed because they're allowed to stand on his arse out there and nothing he could hit. There's no, there's no run he could make. There was no ball he could hit. It ended going completely. And I don't know what you're leaving him on for another 20 minutes for when you've got Connor Bradley on the bench.
00:13:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, let's let's talk about that. Let's let's talk Trent. Worst game of the season, I think. We can all all agree. why why
00:13:18
Karl
but it's not It's not just that Jesse, it's his captain. His captain's attitude to him was, what are you doing?
00:13:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, he was raging at him.
00:13:24
Adarsh
Yeah.
00:13:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
He was raging at him throughout, particularly the second half.
00:13:25
Karl
Yeah.
00:13:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
But Adash, why does the manager not take him off? Is this where this whole contract situation, do you think that plays a part? ah ah Thinking, well, you know what, I can't take Trent Alexander on or off at 55, 60 minutes because this whole thing is going to blow up. Do you think that's any kind of consideration in his mind?
00:13:53
Adarsh
No, I think I agree with Carl. I think he just got it wrong. I think he should have come off as soon as that first goal went in. I think he wasn't having a good game in the first half in the second half. He was, he was just all over the place.
00:14:01
Karl
You're slow for everything.
00:14:03
Adarsh
I think the thing is what I'm surprised about. And I don't want to single out Curtis Jones as well, but the two academy players, the two local lads didn't turn up in a big local versus my United game.
00:14:14
Adarsh
And that's the thing that's concerned me. I know Trent's got all of the Roma did talk and contract situation over his head, but I just think that's not an excuse. but I don't think, I think he's, and when you've got like, when you've got Conor Bradley, who's now fit, who's he's he's obviously available, he's fit enough to be on the bench. I think you bring, you make that substitution. I think in general, actually slot I would have made the changes earlier, ah ah maybe at halftime as well.
00:14:38
Adarsh
I think just the first half was just a nothing. And I think as soon as Nunes came onto the pitch, there was some intensity. As soon as Jota came on, there was a bit of intensity as well. It was just like no one was bringing that intensity. And I expect more from Trent, regardless of the situation.
00:14:51
Adarsh
I think there's there's going to be a lot of critics towards him after this game. But I think if I'm going to be completely honest, he does he is deserved.
00:14:56
Louie Easton
for you.
00:14:58
Adarsh
He as a local player in a game of this magnitude against United should be doing He it wasn't even aggressive in any of his attacking or attack, attacking the ball, like de demanding the ball. He was just, he was just nothing performance.
00:15:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Louis, one of the things that I found so telling was as soon as Trent went off and Conor Bradley came on, you know, it's the first time I saw at the right back for Liverpool going but for a crunching tackle, and you know, a couple of minutes and came coming.
00:15:27
Louie Easton
Yeah, and i saw i saw a stat of sorry I saw a stat after the match. Trent won no duels at all during the match. Connor Bradley came off the bench at 87th minute, whatever it was, and won one. He also had a shot on target, which was an incredible moment.
00:15:46
Louie Easton
But just more on the sort of bringing off Trent thing, I think it's a risk to take because Trent is such a huge part of the going forward. I understand that he was dreadful off the ball and dreadful when we were defending, but bringing on someone like Connor Bradley, who's not played since the Real Madrid match,
00:16:07
Louie Easton
I know he's fully fit, but it's always a risk, especially in a game of this magnitude. I understand that he did so an incredible thing when he came on and really got involved, but I just think that's the hindsight of it.
00:16:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
When did Conor Bradley come on?
00:16:23
Louie Easton
when when you
00:16:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
What what minute did he?
00:16:25
Adarsh
Thank you.
00:16:26
Louie Easton
86th or 87th, something like that.
00:16:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
If he's being declared fit as a professional footballer for Liverpool Football Club, you are going to be fit enough to play the five, what, 10 minutes?
00:16:37
Louie Easton
I know, but you're bringing a player on against someone who's being ganged up on by Bruno Fernandez and... I've forgotten who the other player... Diogo Dallow. They were ganging up on him. If you're bringing someone on for their first match back in over a month and throwing them straight in the deep end, that's going to be a risk.
00:16:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've got a disagree. I think that the risk was keeping Trent on because it wasn't big that he was having a poor game. He was having his worst game by far of the season.
00:17:07
Louie Easton
i agree with that yeah
00:17:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
And it was just relentless on that side and fair play to United. they They sensed blood and they just kept on attacking down that left flank. and I've got to say that, you you know, the manager should have made, he should have made the change earlier. But Tom, I don't want to make this all about Trent Alexander-Arnold, but it is inevitable that if you put in a performance like that,
00:17:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
and it's Liverpool versus Manchester United. This is the one. How can you put in a performance like that? Curtis Jones, I could almost forgive give forgive Curtis Jones because it was more down to the quality of Curtis Jones. It was more that he wasn't quick enough in the tempo when he had the ball. But in terms of his applications, of his effort, I saw Trent, I think it was for the, was it for the first goal?
00:18:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
He just gave up. He gave up the run.
00:18:05
Karl
He did that whole draft a few years ago as well, he just ran behind his winger.
00:18:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. He he just gave up. And I'm just thinking, Tom, it's surely, surely the contract situation has got to play into that in some way.
00:18:10
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:18:18
Tom Goward
it can't yeah it can't be a coincidence that to to all the talk this week and then we've offered him a contract they've bid on him and then suddenly the end of that week he's putting his worst performance in a Liverpool shirt for years and the disappointing thing was that he was up against a right footed right back like in Dallow. That's the disappointing thing. If he's got a winger, a quick winger, like Andy Gordon's caused him problems before we know that then you sort of go okay he's got done by a better player but he's he's against the right footed right back who's playing left wing back and Dallow's got the better of him every time and that's that's what I was disappointed about and then you put on the lack of effort like you said for the first goal and and just sort of like Liverpool fans will just be like well he's clearly off to Madrid then like that's it now he's done but
00:19:02
Tom Goward
yeah I would expect better for someone that's been there their whole life at the club and to be as professional as he's been before and just sort of, you know, if he is off, fine, but just don't play like that. And yeah, like like I said at the start, it's it's not a coincidence that all the talk this week might have got to him and ultimately showed in his performance today.
00:19:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Karl, it's got to be disappointing that the first goal that United scored was their centre back.
00:19:28
Karl
Or both?
00:19:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, the shot, I don't think you can blame Allyson, but the fact that the centre back gets into the penalty area and scores the first goal with a shot, that's got to be a bit concerning.
00:19:33
Karl
No. no
00:19:45
Karl
Yeah, I mean, I mean, there's one of those where you might think it's the goalkeeper. Well, he's either going to put it across the box or it's going to go over the bar because he's ah ah he's a centre back for a reason.
00:19:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:19:53
Karl
And he absolutely smacks it in off top of the bar to hell with the finish. ah and ah and but And no challenge. No challenge on him from anyone. I thought Canale was great today. I thought Virgil did quite well. And and ah ah you you look at Trent there. He's just the most disappointing thing for me was like Dallow just thought, had the ball in front of him and just thought, I'm just going to take you.
00:20:17
Karl
So there's a thing about last week about one of the reasons that Virgil van Dijk is so good is because all the teams would tend to have a go at the other centre-back because what's the point of having a go at Virgil van Dijk?
00:20:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:20:28
Karl
You're not going to get anything out of him. And Dallow just said, I've got you today. I think you're going to let me go. And he did. And he went past in time and again. Again, that comes the second goal trends It comes down the left again or trail you know where Trent is and Trent's practically on the penalty spot letting him go. what What are you doing there? You can't do that. This is Liverpool. You can't.
00:20:50
Karl
And, you know, you said before, like, you know, why is that? What's the reason why slot left him on? And the reason is Lewis Diaz is going into Tottenham where he gets the ball. Why do you think I can put this ball in one place and we've scored and no one in the world can put the ball exactly where that's going to be? And it's literally that that's one of the most amazing goals I've ever seen. It's like, okay, I'm just going to put it just there and you can't miss. And he wanted him to do that again. but,
00:21:15
Karl
I mean, both fallbacks are bad today, but Trent absolutely, and I, you know, I, I stand up for, vote for, for other all the time, but he got them. That man did them all day today. And, but at least Robbo has a go.
00:21:27
Karl
and there's other silly things, there's always no one's mentioned actually is the second goal came from Virgil van Dijk just stabbing the ball out of play when no one's on him. He just rolled the ball up for throwing.
00:21:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, no, I thought i think he i think he ah he managed to get the ball
00:21:38
Karl
And then he sort of half of it ran after it again.
00:21:39
Louie Easton
Yeah,
00:21:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who was it?
00:21:42
Tom Goward
The aloe slipped, the aloe slipped and then he just picked the ball up but and it just went straight out of play.
00:21:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's right.
00:21:45
Karl
Yeah, he takes it past him and then if i have you too and he just goes on up the backhoe.
00:21:45
Adarsh
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's right.
00:21:48
Louie Easton
yeah what happened there?
00:21:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it was a bit of shambles. But I mean, look, Liverpool respond just what six or seven minutes later. Gackpo, lovely finish to level things. And you think surely now is the moment to kick on a dash.
00:21:59
Karl
Without standing that goal.
00:22:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
You think, right, that's it. We're kicking towards a cop end. Gackpo, who You know, I've got to take my hat off to this guy because last season I did not see this player. I did not see this player Liverpool. I just thought he he wasn't right for Liverpool, but clearly, you know, he is. And what a finish. What a finish from Gatbo. And you just think that's it. We're going to kick on now.
00:22:28
Adarsh
Yeah, no, I think it was a brilliantly worked goal. Again, we're going to talk about McAllister. I mean, the way of pass, his ability to to drive into that space in the first place and then play Gackpo in. And in terms of Gackpo, I think not just his finishing, but his the the sheer shot power he has is is incredible. I think he's definitely In that front three, obviously we talk about Salah, we talk about Diaz, but I think in terms of finishing, Gagpro is probably after Jotun Salah, our next best finisher, I think he's ruthless when it comes to those sorts of situations. Him cutting in, just smashing it top-ins was yeah brilliant, brilliant to see. And yeah, I thought we were going to go on and just win the game, and when it got to 2-1 as well, I thought we would just see out the game. But yeah, the the the chaotic nature of the game just didn't really
00:23:08
Adarsh
help Liverpool and I think actually I was surprised he came off I don't know when he came off exactly was it was did he come off for Elliot I think it was during the game but I feel like I don't I don't see why he came off I thought he was one of our bigger threats going forward then sort of other players but it happens and yeah
00:23:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
I thought he came in. i think godto the knee can you came
00:23:17
Louie Easton
Yeah, I think.
00:23:20
Karl
Also, yeah.
00:23:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Any doubt so fellas over well won the penalty it looked like kip a clear penalty is it's going towards goal but so I'm always nervous about Mo taking penalties.
00:23:38
Louie Easton
I'm the same. I'm the same.
00:23:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm always nervous because I just I don't think that technically he's a good penalty taker.
00:23:39
Tom Goward
Yeah.
00:23:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
He scores But he's not James Milner, Steven Gerrard in that kind of side netting. And even and this one, Onana got close to it, Tom. He got close to the penalty. But, you know, he scores, right? And you just think 2-1. Surely that's it now. As Karl said, just get your foot on the ball now and control the the rest of the game.
00:24:09
Tom Goward
Yeah, i am it was going it was one of those games where I just didn't think that penalty was going to go in. like I just thought everything's going to go against us. And like you said, I always get a bit nervous. But yeah, when we go 2-1 up then, you've just got to think, right, United have been on us most of the game. We've got the lead now. We've done the hard work and just sort of defend. And then, yeah, you know the stupid mistake with like Van Dyke bringing the ball out of play, the players spending too long on a ball. given like I thought we gave away the ball cheaply at a load of times today from everyone of across the pitch. I can't single out a single ah ah certain player, but just just those little mistakes that we haven't done this season, which is why we've won games. so And then we just do those things today against a team who have suddenly just started to play well all of a sudden from nowhere at Anfield. And that's what costs us today, those stupid little areas that that we haven't done this season.
00:25:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Uh, there was seven minutes of stoppage time and then United could have won it right at the death. I mean, luckily the ball fell to Harry Maguire. you know, what, why, why'd you say that?
00:25:10
Karl
and You know, he's a little bit unlucky if they get a bubble right in front of him. He shouldn't do it completely.
00:25:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Huh?
00:25:16
Karl
If they get a bubble right in front of him, he shouldn't do it.
00:25:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. But even if it didn't, Harry Maguire would make a bubble.
00:25:23
Karl
That's true.
00:25:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
He would make a bubble, but, um,
00:25:25
Tom Goward
I think Xerxes was offside as well, wasn't he?
00:25:27
Adarsh
Let's
00:25:28
Tom Goward
I saw on...
00:25:28
Karl
It did not tell you that, I thought.
00:25:30
Louie Easton
Ooh, I think it was close.
00:25:30
Tom Goward
I saw on Instagram... It was close, but it looked like...
00:25:32
Adarsh
click, yeah.
00:25:34
Tom Goward
that Anyway, it could have been offside, so maybe that would have been the saving grace, but...
00:25:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
So what are we taking away, gents, from from this from this performance? We've taken a point. We are now six points clear of Arsenal. We've got a game in hand.
00:25:48
Karl
And we still are.
00:25:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:25:50
Karl
Nothing has changed.
00:25:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
But nothing has changed.
00:25:51
Karl
A game has gone, and nothing has changed.
00:25:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah I mean, are we going through our blip, Karl? Is this the blip that everyone says?
00:26:01
Karl
Yeah, possibly.
00:26:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because look, we've we've had a couple of draws.
00:26:02
Karl
I think we've already had it to be honest. I thought, follow my Newcastle with a blip.
00:26:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:26:06
Karl
But know we have still gone to London and got 11 goals in two games. And you know and I do take the point about the weather, because You know, there's that fantastic moment in the first half where the United lads ran into the stand and then fell over on the snow that was on them.
00:26:19
Karl
That was genuinely the highlight of the first half of me. That was quite a main, I think it was.
00:26:27
Karl
It's a game out the way. We won't play that bad again. We go to Forest and we owe them most often.
00:26:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Forest is next.
00:26:34
Karl
And the other highlight is Alexis McAllister, who was phenomenal today.
00:26:38
Adarsh
Hmm.
00:26:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I tell you what, we're we're going to go to a very quick break.
00:26:39
Adarsh
No, no.
00:26:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then when we come back, we'll do some player ratings.
00:27:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, let's so get into some player ratings then. I'm not going to start with Trent. Let's start with the goalkeeper, Alison. I don't think he could have done anything really for either of the goals.
00:27:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm i'm giving Alison just a standard seven. He did make a a really important save from, I think, Hoyland. Against Hoyland, I think when he was one on one.
00:27:44
Tom Goward
Yeah.
00:27:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
any Any objections to seven, Adash?
00:27:50
Adarsh
In my head, I had six, but I mean, yeah, he couldn't really do anything about the two goals made a really good save.
00:27:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay.
00:27:56
Adarsh
I think that corners as well, we did really well to deal with some of those corners that, you know, i were sort of putting a lot of bodies around him. So I'll say six or seven.
00:28:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, Karl, that kind of corner that everyone's kind of piling into the ah ah ah ah goalkeeper, that it's it's very retro.
00:28:10
Karl
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the old Billy Whitehurst dates in the 80s. Excellent. Just kicked the hell out of the goalkeeper. You might get something. of
00:28:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Are you happy with the seven? Are you going to go four or six like a dash?
00:28:21
Karl
I'd go for eight because he's honest and then he came out in the first half and took that player out at the same time. Sorry, he took the ball out at the same time.
00:28:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
And he's got his beard back, he's got his kind of longish hair back, so...
00:28:27
Louie Easton
Yeah Yeah
00:28:29
Karl
Also, in the rain his hair looked great.
00:28:31
Adarsh
yeah
00:28:33
Karl
Oh, important.
00:28:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
A nine out of ten for Alison then.
00:28:35
Karl
Yeah.
00:28:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Louis, what are we going for in for our keeper?
00:28:39
Louie Easton
i'm I'm going to say a 7 as well. I did miss his distribution. I always thought, well, with Kelleher, you don't get the ball out as quickly, but ah ah he does he does scare me sometimes, Alison, when he keeps the ball at his feet for a long time when a player's pressing him, but no mistakes today.
00:28:57
Louie Easton
I'll give him a 7.
00:28:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think he's got his competition with with Virgil as to, you know, who can be the calmest when he's got the ball at his feet.
00:29:03
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:29:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Tom, any debates over seven out of ten for...
00:29:07
Tom Goward
No, I'll stick with a standard seven. buck I was going to say he dealt with a corner as well. They they really did try and pile him on top of him, but he was getting above them and punching them away. And punching them away well, because sometimes keepers punch them back into dangerous areas.
00:29:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:29:20
Tom Goward
And he was getting them caught you know almost out to the sides and away from the danger. So, yeah, seven's fine.
00:29:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, let's do it then. Trent Alexander Arnold. Carl is chewing his thumb off, so we're going to start with Carl.
00:29:38
Karl
to just I don't think he did anything. I don't think he did anything in the game. I think you thought it was a liability. I'm alright criticising him because he's the best right-back in the game and he's redefined the right-back role and he's been an amazing for Liverpool.
00:29:50
Karl
But that was a game. i i'm One, I'm giving something out to his manager as well for keeping him on the pitch because you can just tell when someone's just not there at all and think, this is I'm not ready for this.
00:30:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:30:02
Karl
This is gone. and you know the whole contract thing and and I can't say that on on the podcast but the the reports that some bloke said about him getting this ma amount of money and when you know lot live from this bloke's mother's box room ah is in his head but just just poor but um I'd be a bit more worried about him if he thought he did okay and he clearly didn't think he did okay nothing went right for him today
00:30:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, Adash.
00:30:31
Karl
Get off the pitch, get off the pitch, go to the beach, go and play the arcades.
00:30:33
Adarsh
man
00:30:36
Karl
Go and sit with your mum for a bit and be ready for the forest.
00:30:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Adash, what you giving Trent?
00:30:41
Adarsh
Yeah, I mean in my head I had three, but I mean I can't disagree with the one. It's just nothing. There was nothing that there was, it's so harsh to be because, cause like Carl said, he is the about best, best right back in the world. He's been unbelievable this season and a majority of games going forward and defensively, but this was just a nothing performance. There was no, I can't remember him doing anything of value for the game today. I don't remember him making an excellent pass. Don't remember him making a great tackle. There was just nothing. And that's, that's why I think, yeah, but one, two, three, any of those low ratings would suffice.
00:31:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Louis, surely we should have known when Roy Keane at halftime says that he's more likely to end up with Tranmere Rovers as opposed to Real Madrid.
00:31:20
Adarsh
Okay.
00:31:23
Karl
Yeah. poet
00:31:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Surely you know then that he's he's having an absolute stinker.
00:31:26
Louie Easton
i I was hoping he jinx it in the second half. I've just i've just looked up the stats but behind Trent to see if he did actually do anything. He made four interceptions and did one block and one clearance, but I'm just looking at it. He lost possession 25 times across the 90 minutes. I don't understand how that's possible. I didn't even remember him having the ball that many times, but yeah, no, it's it's a two for Trent, and that's a generous two.
00:31:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Tom, any, any arguments there? I suppose it can be one, one or two or three, isn't it?
00:31:59
Tom Goward
Yeah, any of them, I think they're all poor ratings. Maybe you two just so can stay on these nice side and you might still sign that contract. But no, I think, yeah, if the fact that he's just given away the ball 25 times against the team that should have been beating today and felt confident.
00:32:07
Louie Easton
and Yeah.
00:32:14
Tom Goward
Yeah, I'll i'll give him a one.
00:32:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's go to the other fullback. Robertson, Karl mentioned, he's always stuck up for him. I've always loved Robbo. He's having a tough season. And I thought he had a tough night tonight as well.
00:32:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
And even even towards the end of that game, when I think he gave a ah ah free kick away on the left,
00:32:36
Karl
I'll note ya.
00:32:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
it just thoughtless, like holding on to his arm in the 95th minute, when you know that United are just looking for any excuse to get a set piece to slow the game.
00:32:38
Louie Easton
Ugh, stupid.
00:32:39
Adarsh
Hmm.
00:32:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
And, you know, we almost conceded, but I just think that left back spot, I think, has got to be strengthened. I think if not this much month, certainly Carl in the summer.
00:33:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
But so I gave him a five.
00:33:07
Karl
I think I probably do about the same, yeah. I don't think it was he was that bad, be but yeah, that that was the bit that frustrated me the most. and He did occasionally drive forward with the ball as well, which is quite nice to see. There was a bit where we were under the cost of about 15 minutes and he got a bit sick of it and just sort of sprinted into the, just went on a bit of a run, which was nice to see.
00:33:25
Karl
But yeah, he really struggled against that a lot today, and I'm fine with that. I mean, I wouldn't have put semi-capital on, to be honest, because that was a blood and guts game, that one, which I don't think is the game, but yeah.
00:33:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:33:39
Karl
I'll tell you, it was the third worst fallback on the page.
00:33:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Adarsh Centerbacks.
00:33:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Adarsh Centerbacks, kind oft let's say, Carnate and Van Dyke. I thought they both were very good. I thought Van Dyke was, I thought he was outstanding and he was not happy in this game.
00:33:58
Adarsh
Yeah. no Van Dyke was exceptional. I think he sets the standard in that team. And yeah, I just i just have that image of him staring down Trent in my head, like etched in. I think it's, he definitely like, there was a couple of blocks he made, a couple of like interceptions being sort of the last man as well before he was outstanding.
00:34:15
Adarsh
Canate given that it was his first game back from injury. I'm surprised actually, I'm not surprised given the way the game went, but if you know things had gone our way, I would have expected him to come off maybe 70, 80 minutes. But because of the nature of the game, he was never going to come off for Kwanzaa especially. So I think I would give i mean Van Dyken 8 and Canate 7.
00:34:35
Tom Goward
ah oh
00:34:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. tom
00:35:00
Karl
uh
00:35:00
Tom Goward
I'll give them both eights.
00:35:02
Karl
Where's his fallback? Where's his vice-captain? That was quite nice to see. I don't care who you are, you're getting this.
00:35:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Tom, you're you're going for both A's. It does actually, know that these are all rumours, right? You know, the contract demands that Trent wants to be captain, but it does it does it does make a mockery of that, doesn't it? When when the current captain is so outstanding and he's absolutely laying into you when you've just had an absolute mare, he's not captain in material. when When Virgil van Dijk is in the team, certainly.
00:35:35
Tom Goward
no No, I think i think you know the the thing wanting to be captain is because he's a local lad, and and rightly so. like that That's understandable, but they he's nowhere near the captain that Van Dyke is, and I know Van Dyke's older and a bit more wiser, but he he I couldn't see Trent staring down players like that like Van Dyke did to him today.
00:35:55
Tom Goward
and all right we don't they They don't do it often, but that's sort of what you want. You want that sort of, okay, I've messed up sort of thing.
00:36:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:36:01
Tom Goward
so Yeah, i like you say, it's all rumours and who knows what he wants. i I think he wants to be in Madrid really, but who knows.
00:36:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Eight's all round, Louis, in terms of the two centre backs.
00:36:13
Louie Easton
i think uh seven for van dyke and eight for konate and the only reason i'm giving konate another point is because it's his first match back and he's been put straight into the starting 11 and i think he dealt with the like the pace of the match very well again so yeah
00:36:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it's good to have him back though. Midfield, I thought Graven Burke was, you know, I think he was good in patches. I'm giving him a seven. McAllister I thought was outstanding. Absolutely outstanding.
00:36:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm giving him an eight. Could have been nine actually. if he'd scored that goal where Mo, yeah, what a beautiful ball and he does everything right.
00:36:49
Karl
Oh, what a chance that was.
00:36:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
He hits it on the half volley.
00:36:53
Karl
Yeah.
00:36:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
And really it's just, I mean, no, none of us has really know anything about it. It just hits him, but it would just would have been such a great goal.
00:36:59
Karl
it's a
00:37:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
I capped off a really, really good performance for McAllister. And then I think Jones lets the side down in terms of that midfield.
00:37:09
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:37:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
I just think that he's. I know that he likes playing under Slott because Slott tends to like a more patient build up, but I just think that sometimes he just takes it too far and he just holds on to the ball at that much too long. But Carl, those midfield three, I've gone for, like I said, seven for Graven Burke, five for Jones and McAllister, I'm giving him an eight.
00:37:32
Karl
I'll go five for Jones, I'll go seven for Graven Burt. If you annoy me a bit in the first half occasionally because he's been somewhere. But by the way, his ball into McAllister for the GAC Pro goal is it just a believable technique to do that.
00:37:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:37:47
Karl
Absolutely pelted that and we just cushioned it back off that for And for Alexa McAllister, I'll go for 279 out of 10.
00:37:56
Louie Easton
ah
00:37:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah ah dashsh what we going for but what What are you saying about the midfielder, Dash?
00:37:58
Karl
with thought that's how you play that role. Absolutely incredible.
00:38:03
Adarsh
Nah, I thought Macalester... Yeah. and ah not Nine will turn off. um It's... It's so rare that you see a player just play the game at whatever tempo. He just dictates the tempo, whatever.
00:38:15
Adarsh
He can do what he wants on the pitch. I think in that first four or five minutes, he played the ball into midfield, like just one touch.
00:38:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:38:21
Adarsh
I like such a ah led the perfect pace. I think what he does is really well is that he can play he can pass the ball to whoever he wants at whatever pace he wants it to. And they like he he can speed up the play, slow down the play.
00:38:33
Adarsh
He just has such an all-round midfielder. And yeah, the pass for the assist for Gackpo was brilliant. Yeah, I think 9 for McAllister. Gravenberg I thought was okay. Not his best game, but wasn't his worst game either. So 7. And Jones, yeah, i I'd have to agree with the 5.
00:38:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Louis, let's talk about the front line then.
00:38:53
Louie Easton
Ah,
00:38:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Salah Diaz, Gackpo, obviously Salah gets his as usual goal. Gackpo scored as well. what What's your ratings for for the three that started?
00:39:04
Louie Easton
Well, I think Salah has become a sort of victim of his own standards the terms that he's just been scoring and assisting every single match. I know he did get a goal today. Granted, it was a bit lucky because Anana guessed right and did get a touch on it.
00:39:20
Louie Easton
And relating to your earlier point, I still never feel confident when he steps up to the penalty spot. But I do think that he did cause some problems to Manchester United.
00:39:31
Louie Easton
It's just the fact that they had literally everyone back. You know, six at the back and he was trying to do it all on his own.
00:39:39
Karl
I think their fallbacks are really good as well.
00:39:41
Karl
That side.
00:39:42
Louie Easton
Yeah, Masraui and Dallow were both
00:39:46
Karl
I think both their fallbacks are excellent.
00:39:48
Louie Easton
Yeah, Masraui especially. I thought before the match he was good, but he was on the ball.
00:39:49
Karl
It's really good.
00:39:54
Louie Easton
His touches, his nutmegs that he's trying in his own third, mental.
00:39:56
Karl
No.
00:40:00
Louie Easton
But yeah, Salah, I'm probably going to give a six by his standards. I know he got the goal, but and I know he was trying really hard, but he just couldn't unlock the defence.
00:40:12
Louie Easton
So maybe the six is a bit harsh, but you know, for his standards, I think that's fair. Diaz, I really didn't, I didn't see much of him. ah ah I mean, he had that miss in the first half where he had a lot of time to think about it on the edge of the box where he had that instep and he put it over the bar. and I know the conditions don't favor him, but but you know, if you're a striker for Liverpool, you have to be at least sort of getting the target. And Gackpo, I thought before his goal,
00:40:44
Louie Easton
I was average but then he got the goal and he changed slots mind of subbing him off and that goal really got us properly back into the game and really made it into a contest.
00:40:56
Karl
Great celebration as well.
00:40:58
Louie Easton
Sorry.
00:40:59
Karl
Fantastic celebration.
00:41:02
Louie Easton
He loves just standing still when he scores.
00:41:03
Karl
Staring now at the people, yeah. I just did that.
00:41:08
Louie Easton
But yeah, I'd probably go for a 7 for Gakpo, and maybe a harsh bit of 5 for Diaz.
00:41:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
special ah ah Tom, that front three.
00:41:18
Tom Goward
Yeah, I'll give Diaz a five as well. There was a few times where he just sort of picked the ball out on the left and just sort of like walks towards the defenders, doesn't run at them. I think I mentioned it with a dash on a few podcasts ago about how he was good at just picking up the ball and just running at defenders. And like Salah did today, he just runs it like Dallow or Martinez. And we you saw it a few seasons ago where he turns Martinez inside out. but Yeah, it just sort of picks up the ball and just and just goes back and just lays it back off and just want to see him getting in that box. So I'll give him a five. I'll give Salah a seven because, yeah, again, Louis said it was tough today playing almost against like six of the back at times. But he got the penalty and I'll give Gackpo an eight because the finish was unbelievable. He got us back into the game and and Carl said the celebration was good as well. So I'll give him an eight.
00:42:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right. Well, we're, we're into January's fixtures then. Cole mentioned now say again, did you not, did you not do a rating for the four dine?
00:42:08
Karl
Hang on, can't I have mine? Can't I have mine?
00:42:14
Karl
No!
00:42:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
I do apologize.
00:42:15
Karl
I'm going for 8 for Salah, 7 for Gatipo, 5 for Diaz, and minus 45 for Nunez's yellow card, which is the stupidest thing I've ever seen on a football pitch, for a man who's going to be banned in the next game.
00:42:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Come on, Carl.
00:42:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
How many times, how many times have you seen Darwin Nunes? That is not the stupidest thing that he's seen.
00:42:28
Adarsh
Yeah, that was...
00:42:32
Karl
But not knowing full well he's going to miss the Forest Game, a game where he scored the winner last season, and he gives away the stupidest foul apart from Andy Robertson tonight. And I and just thought, surely you know you you you know one more when you've done it, and you and you think you're going to run into Delect, who's already is having a bad game as it is. And you think that's all right. Good Lord, man.
00:42:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I really don't think Darwin Nunes thinks, though. I don't think he thinks.
00:43:00
Adarsh
cut can i Can I just say though, I thought, I know he was a stupid yellow card, but i he was, at least when he came on, he was putting in a tackle and putting some something in.
00:43:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:43:07
Adarsh
I know it's stupid that he missed the next game, but it's just, you know, yeah, they're not like it was great as well.
00:43:08
Karl
Oh, that little note magnet there was gorgeous.
00:43:10
Louie Easton
Oh, the nutmeg, yeah.
00:43:12
Karl
Yeah.
00:43:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's what you get for £70 million these days, isn't it?
00:43:17
Karl
Yeah, it's just as far as the way.
00:43:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
A nutmeg.
00:43:20
Louie Easton
Don't bring up that price tag.
00:43:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
But we've got we've got Forest, this is Premier League, Forest on the 14th of January. We are then away at Brentford. yeah you know it's no I said Premier League.
00:43:33
Louie Easton
Why don't you skip two games there? We've got the mighty Accrington Stanley next weekend.
00:43:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
I said Premier League.
00:43:40
Louie Easton
Oh, Premier League, my mistake, I apologise.
00:43:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Apology accepted. Not even Forrest away. Brentford away. And then Ipswich at home. Are we looking at maximum points there? Forrest is going to be tough. Brentford is going to be tough away from home. Adash?
00:44:00
Adarsh
It's a hard one. I think obviously we want maximum points. I think we're capable of getting maximum points, but I think just defending it
00:44:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
okay it with seven points?
00:44:08
Adarsh
to Defensively at the moment, I'm not as confident as I was. Forest have been excellent this season and the way they've set up defensively to counter-attack, I think if United can cause us problems, then Forest will definitely cause us problems.
00:44:19
Adarsh
That's the game I'm looking at where I'm a bit hesitant, but I think Brentford, we can can deal with them and Ipswich at home.
00:44:26
Louie Easton
Yeah.
00:44:26
Adarsh
I think I'll be happy with 7.1.9, but anything less than 7, I'll be disappointed.
00:44:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Go.
00:44:33
Karl
i think uh we are the back five for aggregates and standing um um with arches in goal um i think we pound forest into the ground and accept no mercy from anybody whatsoever that's the least i expect after um i love the fact that our other title rivals because it's 1978 all over again and and it's still 1978 in my mind that i will not sit down on what happened that season
00:44:43
Adarsh
I can
00:44:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
I was just so merciless.
00:44:58
Tom Goward
Haha.
00:45:03
Louie Easton
Just got a bit sinister.
00:45:03
Karl
Brentford's going to be tricky.
00:45:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
That game started. That game started, OK?
00:45:12
Karl
I think will be really tricky. I like the manager a lot and you know they' but they're capable of a good run. and The mighty ups which are back and are going to relegate wolves.
00:45:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Tractor boys.
00:45:22
Karl
That's going to be tricky.
00:45:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Tractor boys are back.
00:45:24
Karl
Might even get a ticket for that one, you never know.
00:45:25
