## Transcript

[0:00] Welcome back to the Boxer Box podcast.
[0:02] This is episode 32 and today we will be doing a defender bracket
[0:05] to see who has the best defense in the world.
[0:07] Will Real Madrid's injuries hold them back?
[0:08] You're gonna have to wait and see.
[0:10] And where will your team end up in this bracket?
[0:12] All that and more on the Boxer Box Podcast.
[0:15] Let's go. You ain't going home.
[0:17] Your Honor, I'm sorry. Your Honor, I'm sorry if we
[0:23] don't compete with City. This is a failure of a season.
[0:26] I can already. Tell you, I'll tell you in
[0:28] advance, you failed, no? I'm going to take central
[0:30] midfielder Federico Valverde. What?
[0:35] Yeah. No, that he has been the worst
[0:37] midfielder for Real Madrid this season.
[0:39] That's like, that's like saying Neymar was the worst player in
[0:42] MSN. Another week, gentlemen, another
[0:48] podcast this week. I don't think, I don't think
[0:51] media has been dominated by football.
[0:53] I think it's been dominated by some.
[0:54] This was fight weekend. This was fight weekend.
[0:56] Got got boxing, got UFC as well. No F1 unfortunately no one talks
[1:01] not. Probably better I know, if I was
[1:02] able to handle that much that much in one.
[1:04] Weekend. Is it bad to say as a podcast
[1:07] content creator that I didn't really watch any football this
[1:10] weekend and I just watched Fighting?
[1:12] What football was there? Not crazy, I don't play.
[1:14] Break bro. International break needs to be
[1:16] a ball of stuff. Just go out and say it bro
[1:18] because no one wants this. Especially Nations League.
[1:20] Nations League. Massive league No.
[1:21] One of the biggest leagues of all the leagues.
[1:23] One of the. Biggest leagues Arsenal fans
[1:25] would celebrate this. They would put that in their
[1:26] trophy cap. Bro Bellingham had a master
[1:28] class for performance. I didn't even know I.
[1:32] Was getting those. We do not care.
[1:33] I. Was watching.
[1:34] We do not care. Italy France Italy L look at
[1:36] telly starting bro Italy lost 31 Cambiasso Cambiasso scored.
[1:40] Notice. Look at telly starts.
[1:41] Italy loses. Where's the Where are the Milan
[1:44] players on the? There's no way they're noticing
[1:46] notice. Nudicing Italy top of the table,
[1:49] but yeah, this. Weekend great.
[1:51] Honestly, I don't know. We can.
[1:53] We can go into the Jake Paul one first.
[1:55] We got to see Mike Tyson's butt cheeks honestly and center.
[1:59] As as content creators, it's actually insane to see like the
[2:03] gravity that like someone like Jake Paul has because the
[2:07] ability to sell out Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
[2:10] That was insane that I can't and that roll out was ridiculous
[2:14] from the beginning with the performances to it was just a
[2:17] well done event, very well. Done.
[2:19] I was a marketing staff. Yeah, was like done to a tee.
[2:21] And I was watching, I was watching with my best friend,
[2:24] his dad. And even his dad was invested in
[2:26] watching Jake Paul lose. Like he never grew up, He never
[2:30] watches YouTube, never anything. But he still knows Jake Paul.
[2:34] And it's like, it's kind of crazy how these content
[2:36] creators, Youtubers have pulled into mainstream media now.
[2:39] Like people like Jake Paul, Logan Paul, KSI, Mr. Beast are
[2:43] now bigger than YouTube, if that makes sense.
[2:46] So I don't know. It's crazy.
[2:48] And that I think, listen, Jake Paul, it's, it's a tough case
[2:52] 'cause I think it's people wanting to see him fail it in
[2:56] the sense like you want him to get.
[2:57] It's the same as Mayweather. It's the same as Mayweather.
[2:59] People watch the. The best type of marketing is
[3:01] that. People watched Mayweather and
[3:03] bought all his pay per views in the hopes of being there when he
[3:07] lost. Yeah, like anyone 50.
[3:09] One yeah, exactly. So they kept buying his pay per
[3:11] views, kept being a success because why?
[3:13] You always watch, hoping he'll lose, but it never happens.
[3:16] The thing with Mayweather though, is he actually beat
[3:18] everybody he bought versus Jake Paul is either, I'm not going to
[3:23] say rigging, but he's either tactically choosing his
[3:25] opponents or fighting people that just aren't boxers.
[3:27] Like it's not a traditional boxing match. 28 rounds of two
[3:30] minutes. Like it's.
[3:32] Well bro, if Mike Tyson had lasted one more minute in each
[3:36] round, I think he would have collapsed.
[3:37] I think, I think by the second round I'm, I was like grinding
[3:40] my teeth. I'm like, Oh no.
[3:41] That was frustrating to watch. Jake Paul, one thing I will say
[3:44] that about that is class act because he could have, he could
[3:47] have done a lot more to to Mike Tyson.
[3:49] Yeah, but at that point it was just a vanity fight.
[3:52] I was hoping it was going to to be a bit more of a slugfest.
[3:55] Like I wasn't expecting anyone to get knocked out.
[3:57] I wasn't expecting Jake A. Closer matchup, you're saying?
[3:59] Yeah. Just more like like punches
[4:02] thrown a lot of contact. We're all lying to ourselves
[4:05] bro. At the end of the day, Mike
[4:06] Tyson is still a 5258 year old man so.
[4:10] That went through a lot too like this.
[4:11] Now me as a boxing enthusiast, I consider myself a boxing
[4:14] enthusiast. I love watching boxing.
[4:16] I've actually, I've gone back. I I wouldn't say I'm a super
[4:20] fan. Like obviously football and
[4:22] boxing, there's levels, but like combat sports are some, I would
[4:26] argue second or third favorite sports to watch so many.
[4:29] Federations are there in boxing. Three.
[4:31] Well, three major ones. Are you watching Bare Knuckles
[4:33] as well? WECI mean I've gone back IBF but
[4:38] supposedly Saudis looking into buying all three major boxes.
[4:42] Only way, that's the only way the sports is getting like.
[4:45] UFC for boxing, which I agree, it's the only way, the way that
[4:48] boxing set up all the best. It's like if there was no
[4:53] Champions League in football. So you're kind of the Bay, who's
[4:55] the best team in the world, but you don't know there's no Real
[4:58] Madrid. Man City and Bayern Munich never
[5:00] play each other. Yeah, it's needed.
[5:01] It's like comparing IAX. It's like don't even take out
[5:04] the Prem cause the Prem is too competitive.
[5:05] There's too many good teams. It's like just ERE Devise IAX
[5:08] but Germany with Bayern like you're comparing.
[5:12] If there was no Champions League you would probably say PSG are
[5:15] like one of the best teams in the.
[5:16] World oh and also you're going to have rankings different in
[5:18] every different league yeah IX is going to be 6th in the air
[5:21] division the. Champions League of the
[5:23] coefficients under a certain amount.
[5:25] It's horrible. You know, it's horrible, it's
[5:26] holding back to sports so much. But let's say let's say Saudi
[5:29] buys it brother, if all the if all the fights are in Saudi,
[5:32] you're you. I think the offer.
[5:34] I think the offer. No, I disagree.
[5:36] Brother 3:00 fights and you watch Tyson?
[5:39] No, but. Even even when boxing fights.
[5:41] But it depends. Fury, Fury.
[5:43] Wild fury. Where was It was like a 3:00 in
[5:46] the afternoon on a Saturday? But did you, Francis Inganu goes
[5:49] to the goes to Riyadh. I haven't watched an Inganu
[5:53] fight. He's only fought a couple times.
[5:55] Yeah, but even at that, because he was he was the hottest ticket
[5:58] in UFC when he when he ended up signing his contract.
[6:00] And I'm I'm watching his fights on TikTok and I'm watching his
[6:04] fights on Twitter. You know, at the end of the day,
[6:05] like, I'm not really tuning. But that's because, look, this
[6:08] is what Jake Paul did amazingly. That's because the fight's not
[6:12] easily accessible because you have to go out of your way and
[6:14] buy a pay-per-view for 50 bucks. I've never bought a pay per.
[6:16] $100 but exactly Pirate stream probably.
[6:20] But, well, no, I don't. We are not announcing that we do
[6:22] that. I don't.
[6:23] But but I'll watch by by putting the fight on somewhere like
[6:27] Netflix, you're making sure that eyeballs are on your product and
[6:31] Netflix, yes, your. Product It's smart for Jake, but
[6:34] not for Netflix. For Netflix it's insanely smart
[6:36] because they get people to sign up for nobody $12.00 a month.
[6:39] Nobody signed up for this fight. I I disagree.
[6:41] I don't know everybody. Has Netflix to be in with?
[6:44] No, because they're probably like if, if let's say you didn't
[6:47] have Netflix. A lot of people actually don't
[6:49] have Netflix, but pushes you over because because Netflix
[6:52] they included a new like anti sharing policy where now you you
[6:57] it's not easy to share from household to household.
[7:00] But let's say you didn't have Netflix.
[7:02] You probably tell yourself, bro, it only cost $10.00 for me to
[7:05] watch the fight without any interruptions or whatever.
[7:07] I'm just gonna do it shows. Yeah, most people have Netflix.
[7:10] I think that's why they put commercials 'cause they need to
[7:11] get some money. A lot of people, you would be
[7:13] surprised, but. It's cool, though.
[7:14] There's gonna be NFL on that. There's NFL on.
[7:16] That I think, I think it was, it was like almost like an
[7:19] exposition of what Netflix has to offer now, 'cause I didn't
[7:21] know Netflix was gonna be showing NFL, They're gonna be
[7:24] showing the Christmas games. Yeah, for the NFL.
[7:26] This is here. Yeah, this is this is
[7:28] traditionally mainstream. CBS, Fox Sports, any mainstream
[7:34] news network has these Christmas games and Netflix has them
[7:37] Amazons in the game too. So it's like it's a whole new
[7:40] way of watching sports now. And unfortunately I don't think
[7:43] it's going down the right path with the subscriptions, but I
[7:46] mean each their own. Like the thing about, I think if
[7:50] you go through the entirety, I think Amazon's gonna end up
[7:52] taking over because now with their whole Prime package, you
[7:54] literally can't defeat Prime because.
[7:57] I don't even know. Amazon Prime.
[7:59] But there's the show I've had. I've been paying for Prime for
[8:01] years and I don't even buy anything.
[8:02] But yeah, but you're not even watching the shows.
[8:04] But that's part of the value of. That I want to watch Jack
[8:06] Reacher bro. No, but forget, forget Amazon.
[8:09] Like forget the streaming. You get the streaming part of
[8:11] your, you get your packages quickly in a day by paying for
[8:14] Amazon Prime, but you also get the Netflix effect of we're
[8:17] getting to watch shows and live sporting events and stuff like
[8:20] that. So I don't know, I think I think
[8:22] pay-per-view as a format is going to be dead, especially
[8:25] after you think so. All fights bro 125 million
[8:27] people watch the fight on Netflix. 125 million.
[8:30] But how many money did? How much money did they make?
[8:32] We'll see those thoughts too, because but you?
[8:34] You also can't account it's not a one time payment because the
[8:37] people who signed up for Netflix and paid that $10 to watch the
[8:40] fight. The legacy Netflix of users.
[8:42] But think no. But the people who signed up for
[8:44] the fight, they're probably. Going to stay, you're saying?
[8:46] They might how many how many times do we have payments on our
[8:49] credit card that you just forget that you're paying every single.
[8:51] Bro today I check I got a 25 charge $25 charge from Apple.
[8:54] I looked at it and I'm like, that's probably something.
[8:56] Exactly. So you're gonna get the $10
[8:58] monthly fee from Netflix. She'd be like, bro, just keep
[9:00] it. Whatever.
[9:01] Yeah, like, like, but those add up.
[9:03] But you don't realize in the moment that you're like, oh,
[9:06] I've been paying for Netflix for a year.
[9:07] So instead of that $60.00 one time payment, they're gonna get
[9:10] a bunch of users that are gonna pay $10 every single month for
[9:14] indefinite amount of. Pay-per-view is, it's not for
[9:16] the solo watcher. The subscriptions benefit the
[9:21] solo watcher. But I guess we become more and
[9:23] more antisocial as the time goes on.
[9:25] So then we need more of those individual memberships.
[9:27] But like I go, I usually go to a friends house that has multiple
[9:30] like 10 people there and we split it and ends up being like
[9:32] $6 a person. So it's like real cheap and it's
[9:34] like cool event and you don't have to go through like like the
[9:38] zone nowadays has has ads and stuff like that.
[9:40] I think slowly the last thing on this, I think slowly streaming
[9:43] will become television. Then something new is going to
[9:45] take its place and then streaming is going to get phased
[9:47] out because like they just become greedy and they realize
[9:50] like wow, I can make so much money by showing a 5 second ad.
[9:52] Like a look at YouTube. YouTube started off ad free,
[9:55] then started with a little bit of ads, then polls and ads, and
[9:58] now every two minutes I'm watching a 15 second unskippable
[10:02] ad. And they have a premium service.
[10:04] Yeah, like they, they, they're, they still end up trying to.
[10:06] Recycle it's gonna it's gonna get so bad that some a new
[10:09] service is gonna come in. That's that's what I think is
[10:11] out the old one like. Streaming, streaming, the whole
[10:13] bit with streaming, Was that like ad free?
[10:15] Yeah, you can watch whenever you want ad free now it's like now I
[10:19] still now you gotta pay for the zone.
[10:21] You gotta pay for fubo gotta pay for Netflix now bro get on.
[10:23] I gotta pay for Amazon brother. Either either you put everything
[10:27] on one specific app. Like, I know what was it the
[10:30] Premier League at a certain point they were thinking about?
[10:32] Making making their own, but like making.
[10:34] Their own. That's why Amazon is not.
[10:36] That's the next step, yeah, but you don't.
[10:37] You don't think about Amazon payment because you're already
[10:39] gonna pay that to get your, your packages and stuff, yes.
[10:42] So it doesn't like you're, you're not paying for the
[10:44] streaming really. That's just part of the package.
[10:46] So if they increase a price, honestly, if Amazon Prime
[10:49] increased $10, I don't think any $10 a month.
[10:51] You wouldn't buy. You, I don't think you there's
[10:54] too much value in Amazon Prime, but.
[10:56] If Amazon had the rights to all the NFL games no problem, I'd do
[10:59] it. It's too much value in Amazon
[11:01] Prime. But but now it's like it's
[11:03] cookie cutter. It's like you want to watch
[11:04] games from week 1 to week 12? That's going to be on Amazon.
[11:07] You want to watch games from week 13 to Week 16?
[11:10] Yeah, that's going to be on Netflix.
[11:12] And then it's like Peacock, Peacock TV.
[11:14] They have their own. It's NBC, you know?
[11:16] Yeah. Yeah, like it.
[11:17] It's way too diverse. Now it's you end up paying
[11:20] hundreds if not thousands of dollars for all these streaming
[11:22] services at the end of the year because you just want to watch
[11:24] sport. And I don't know if they guys
[11:25] saw it also, like NBA viewership is at an all time low.
[11:29] Well, not all time low. It's significant decrease from
[11:32] last season right now. Yeah.
[11:34] And the owners are freaking out because when it comes to the
[11:36] next, the television contract's up.
[11:37] I think next year, the next. CBA next next so TV rights deal
[11:41] it's. It's NBA is getting a bit
[11:45] cooked. You might not see the increases
[11:46] in salaries that people are expecting.
[11:48] People are saying that the next $100 million a year athletes is
[11:50] going to be an NBA player from salary, but right now they're
[11:53] making 60 or 70. I think some NBA players and.
[11:56] They they scrubs. Bro, it's based on TV rights,
[11:58] yeah. Yeah.
[11:59] Proportionate. Yeah, but we didn't even talk
[12:01] about the fight. I mean, the fight itself,
[12:03] there's, there isn't much to talk.
[12:04] About we didn't even, we didn't even mention Jon Jones's name,
[12:06] by the way, which, oh. No, that's next.
[12:08] That's next. That's what I was closing this.
[12:09] When I was opening that one, I we don't really talk about Mike
[12:11] Tyson. The guy didn't put up a fight.
[12:12] It was really sad. The fights underneath them were
[12:14] actually entertaining, like Serrano barrios were were very
[12:17] the low key. Serrano should've won that
[12:19] fight. I don't understand how Taylor
[12:20] ended up winning that fight. That was a bit of a rigged
[12:22] decision, yeah. Well I didn't like that our
[12:23] coach was so butt hurt to at the end, like you, you still lost.
[12:26] Boxing takes one step forward and then in the same night it
[12:28] takes a step backwards because a decision like that it's but.
[12:31] Forget the decision, it's just the main wait.
[12:33] What's the step forward? Jake Paul beating up.
[12:35] Bro Netflix you being able to watch a boxing fight without
[12:38] really having to pay an extra amount and it being such a
[12:41] massive mainstream success by the way Mike Tyson cover up
[12:46] those ass cheeks brought the amount to aura that you lost in
[12:48] that one singular hammer shot. He doesn't care.
[12:51] Bro the aura that lost in my well I've watched every.
[12:54] Single the amount of aura I lost anyways, let me see 20 no. 25
[12:57] the. Amount he lost barbers or a or a
[12:59] calculator? Bro Mike Tyson is the greatest
[13:02] boxer of all time, bro. Yes, OK, you said you were a
[13:05] boxing enthusiast. That just took you completely
[13:08] off the charts of the even three bro George Foreman.
[13:12] Bro. Oh my God, Oh my God, prime.
[13:15] Okay, God. Barber.
[13:16] Prime Mike. Tyson is the best boxer of all
[13:18] time. That's something, Mohammed.
[13:20] Mohammed are. So cooked Mohammed.
[13:22] Said in their prime Tyson would beat him Yes, that's what he.
[13:25] Said he was humble. Mike Tyson.
[13:27] Ali also be prime George Foreman who is like one of the scariest
[13:31] boxers of all time so yes. I'm saying Mike Tyson, to call
[13:34] him the best of all time. He's acting like it's egregious.
[13:37] It's not egregious. Absolutely.
[13:38] I went back and I watched. I actually went and watched Mike
[13:41] Tyson's fight. Oh, yeah, Yeah.
[13:42] I swear to God. I'm my mom.
[13:44] Good for you, bro. I'm my mom.
[13:45] I've watched every single Mike Tyson fight.
[13:47] Almost. Did you watch this guy?
[13:48] This one different gravy. Did you watch the Buster
[13:50] Douglas? One, no, because obviously he
[13:52] lost. But that's that's, that's like
[13:54] basing Neymar's career and your opinion on Neymar and what he's
[13:58] doing right now. Did you watch the two after that
[13:59] too? You didn't see you didn't watch
[14:01] the Doctor. You're you're exactly.
[14:04] In my personal opinion, Joe Rogan agrees on this also, and
[14:07] he's a the If you're going to speak about mixed martial arts,
[14:10] Joe Rogan, someone you definitely go and look towards
[14:12] to. He agrees that people put too
[14:14] much emphasis on the let's say tail end of careers or when
[14:18] boxers started losing. You should take them at face
[14:21] value of their prime. When the man was the scariest of
[14:24] his career and Mike Tyson was the scariest man, probably the.
[14:28] Scary tax is crazy, but Floyd Mayweather is much better boxing
[14:32] than Mike Tyson. Ever.
[14:33] That that's that's debatable. OK, I agree.
[14:36] Floyd Mayweather. Is not the scare factor.
[14:37] He doesn't have the aura. Floyd Mayweather ran a lot
[14:40] during his career. He did not fight the best of the
[14:42] best at the time, Manny Pacquiao.
[14:43] When he fought Manny Pacquiao, he was not at his best.
[14:46] When he fought Canelo, was at the beginning of his career at
[14:48] Canelo, and then he ducked Canelo the rest of his career
[14:50] because Canelo, Canelo, Canelo. Becoming one of the best.
[14:53] For most of Canelo's career was a better boxer than Floyd
[14:56] Mayweather, but in the time where they did fight, he wasn't
[14:59] a better. Than that bro, he fought him, he
[15:00] beat him when he was young. Golovkin to Triple G.
[15:03] Whatever the Bees people didn't sign up for boxing anyway.
[15:06] By the way, Jon Jones, if you don't fight Aspinall.
[15:09] That duck. Duck.
[15:10] That's a duck, right? Brother he would destroy
[15:13] Aspinall, no? I don't think.
[15:14] The way the way he kind of dismantled Steve Bay.
[15:16] Yeah, but Steve, it was at a slow pace.
[15:18] It's like it was an extremely slow pace.
[15:20] Aspinall is a fast fighter, bro. Every single one of his fights
[15:23] ends in one minute. I don't know if Jon Jones would
[15:25] be able to keep up the pace. John Jones has proven his whole
[15:28] entire career that. Oh, I don't doubt it.
[15:30] He's the best MMA fighter of all time, without a shadow of a
[15:32] doubt. Fight of the Night Oliviera,
[15:34] that's my GOAT, bro yeah, my favorite.
[15:35] That's my favorite UFC fighter. But the.
[15:37] Undercard, I'm pretty. Right bro, seeing seeing Jon
[15:39] Jones trying to control Miocic on the floor made it made me
[15:43] realize how crazy Oliviera's like wrestling the grappling
[15:47] game is bro. How he was able to control.
[15:49] Girls also were an insane fight. Bro I have to bring it.
[15:52] While the girls were fighting, this is me.
[15:54] No bro, the girls Loki had the best fight of the night.
[15:56] But there's not it was like it's just such a lower bar of of
[16:00] tactical fighting brother. It was entertaining, but like
[16:05] brothers, no weight behind. I don't want to watch 60 LB Men.
[16:08] Dana White. Wants 5 of the girl fights.
[16:11] In terms of entertainment, that's what he was.
[16:13] It a belt? Was it a belt?
[16:14] No bro, I'm watching if it's a belt.
[16:16] But it was an undefeated young youngster coming up against a
[16:19] seasoned vet in that division, and the seasoned vet actually
[16:21] beat the undefeated youngster so.
[16:23] What? What are her names?
[16:24] At AHO and well, now she's not an undefeated youngster so I
[16:28] don't care about her name anymore to be honest.
[16:30] Next. Next.
[16:32] So now we can get into why you actually clicked on the video.
[16:35] Wait. What are we talking about here?
[16:37] So now we're gonna go do go through a bracket of the top
[16:40] back fours in Europe and we are doing a back four.
[16:43] So Millie, I know before you get into your Millie, I don't know,
[16:45] interaction plan, that's fine. Surgeries for like just
[16:50] injuries, injuries are taken into account.
[16:52] So we're not adding Eder Milital because we.
[16:54] Are not going to be doing. Not.
[16:56] But if they're coming back from injury.
[16:58] Yeah, like like David Alba will be included for Madrid will
[17:01] include David Alba. He's he's training right now by.
[17:03] The way quick preface because I'm thinking about defenders,
[17:06] how is Scamaka and Scalvini already back in training?
[17:11] What is Gaspedini injecting into?
[17:13] The. Back.
[17:13] Supposedly that's fake news. Well, he's not back, but I was
[17:16] posted as a joke. No, but.
[17:17] He's not training just with No, yeah, he's not training.
[17:19] Hitting no, but that's what we were talking about.
[17:21] We saw the same photo too and and we're like, there's no way
[17:23] Scamaka's back after three months.
[17:25] No, it's not possible. But Scamaka is back training
[17:28] after what's? I I I need to.
[17:30] I'm not. Sure.
[17:31] Not back. Brother he's there's pictures of
[17:34] him with an incision on his knee training.
[17:36] You got you got to look at this up.
[17:38] We did see the exact same one. He's just picture of him just
[17:41] not training. No, no, he's, he's.
[17:43] That brothers, I mean he's got got flops on so like he's
[17:46] really. Just at training.
[17:48] Yeah, but this brother ain't in the cast or any.
[17:49] It's like if Eddie Miller Tao showed up to Real Madrid
[17:51] training next week and said he might not look at MACA, but he's
[17:55] training. That's so crazy In six months.
[17:57] Yes agreed. That's a full tear on these bro.
[17:59] I'm telling you, it's OK, Atlanta, like get back on the
[18:02] field, play for the rest of the scene and we're shipping you in
[18:04] the summer. That's that's what's happening,
[18:06] yes. But that's damaged goods, yes,
[18:09] that they ship out. Whoever is signing him,
[18:11] questions need to be asked. You've, I mean, that was an
[18:13] interview. In in first.
[18:15] Never. So good bro I've never seen.
[18:17] They might come back. I hope so.
[18:18] Yeah, whatever. They didn't sign up for Atlanta
[18:20] Talk, so. Atlanta is not on.
[18:22] The first, the first what? Are these people signing up for
[18:24] if they're not signing up for this stuff?
[18:25] Instead of anything, you're telling me they didn't sign up
[18:27] for boxing and they didn't sign up for Atlanta?
[18:32] Arsenal against Athletico Madrid OK are.
[18:36] We starting straight, so shoot it like that.
[18:37] Arsenal What would you consider Arsenal's back for?
[18:41] Gabrielle Saliba and then. Calafioli, California back Ben
[18:46] White injured. And Ben White timber.
[18:48] So timber but Timbers also coming.
[18:51] Back timber, I would say Calafiore, Gabrielle Saliba.
[18:55] Timber, right. Very, very.
[18:56] That's strong. That's a strong one.
[18:58] That's going for. Athletico Athletico Madrid What
[19:01] we got here is Raynaldo at left back.
[19:03] Raynaldo. They have a long glare, but I'm
[19:04] going to say they Lenorma is going to be there and then.
[19:09] Is he injured? No, he, but I think I think this
[19:11] is just the last game that they played, so I'm not going to use
[19:13] that at face value. Jimenez right center back and
[19:16] Molina right back. Jimenez is still playing.
[19:18] I would consider him goalies. Also, are goalies taking into
[19:21] account? Here I was.
[19:22] I was thinking but I'd say no. I would put it.
[19:24] Because it shifts a. Lot shifts.
[19:26] It changes a lot. Keep it doesn't help the
[19:29] backline, Yes it does. Not enough.
[19:30] And what if people want to see a goalkeeper bracket?
[19:33] No one wants to see that you don't know.
[19:35] Clicked off. Clearly you don't know because
[19:37] we're talking about Atlanta and. Exactly you.
[19:39] Don't know what they're into bro.
[19:41] I promise you a goalkeeper bracket.
[19:44] You don't know, you don't know. OK.
[19:46] So for me, I don't know we can make this kind of quick.
[19:48] Yeah, we don't. We could make this one quick.
[19:50] He man. As it's still in Athleticos
[19:51] backline, I'm seeing Arsenal. Arsenal every in every position
[19:55] you. Go Le Norman though.
[19:57] I I Unfortunately we have a. Player.
[19:59] We haven't seen enough of him in an.
[20:00] Even medical shirt he's. Trying to say something.
[20:02] The brother's trying to find some I'll.
[20:04] Play at. The EUR take out Holland, are
[20:06] they still a top three situation conversation?
[20:08] Let's have a conversation. Pep, now what?
[20:10] What really is left at six? Listen, Arsenal don't have
[20:12] Gabrielle and Celibo. There's a conversation.
[20:14] I'm not gonna cap even the depth of Arsenal in defense.
[20:17] They could probably compete with Athletico Madrid like a Kivior,
[20:20] a Tommy Yatsu. Listen, we could keep it in
[20:22] short and sweet. I know we got some.
[20:24] Methodical. That's a name I haven't heard in
[20:26] a while because everybody keeps getting injured every two
[20:27] seconds. True, that guy's got pulled pork
[20:29] situation. But yeah, let's not kid
[20:33] ourselves here. This is Arsenal going through.
[20:35] This is an easy 1 I think. Next one up, where are we going
[20:39] to farmer Barcelona versus Milan?
[20:43] Now. 1st. First you get to, you get to
[20:45] induct your back line. No, I was giving you the mic.
[20:48] The mic first. The fine, the fine.
[20:51] Milan's back line right now. Right now it's Tel benched
[20:54] Pavlovich shit, probably Gabia and Emerson Royale.
[21:00] God, that's the state of your club right now.
[21:02] That's the state of my defence. You know the you know the meme
[21:05] of the horse. No, I don't think he starts.
[21:07] You know the the meme of the horse?
[21:09] The the horse like you have nothing in whatever it is like.
[21:13] And it's like an artistic. Render.
[21:14] That's true man. Right now, like to me.
[21:16] Gabia, I think the Theo. You picked the the best one in
[21:19] my I. Think Theo's Theo's better than
[21:21] Gabia? Gabia's been decent.
[21:23] I wish I could show this clip to firms like four months ago.
[21:26] And you're saying Gabia's our best one, by the way, because.
[21:29] Oh. Yeah.
[21:30] Bro Gabia Gabia went on loan to Villarreal and didn't even get a
[21:33] minute of playtime. He did, and he came back and he
[21:36] was. He did.
[21:36] He got like actually four in the in the Spanish, no.
[21:38] But that's the reason why he got better because he was playing
[21:40] with Raul and he actually learned something instead of
[21:42] playing with Pavlovich, who Pavlovich can't even defend
[21:45] right now. And then you have tell who
[21:46] hasn't been great either. I think your other he.
[21:49] Had 7 appearances in La Liga in with Villarreal.
[21:52] Yeah, and then he got recalled from Lone.
[21:54] I don't know what to tell. You he got recalled from Lone.
[21:57] But Barbara, I'm telling you, I'm telling you unbiased over
[21:59] here, Millie could probably even agree Gabia is not the problem.
[22:02] I agree Gabia is not the problem at Milan, but.
[22:05] He's not part of the solution. I don't think he's like a world
[22:07] class. Obviously not.
[22:09] I think Tomori is the issue because.
[22:11] But Tomori, there's a reason why he doesn't start Gabia once.
[22:13] One, he automatically becomes mistakes of liability this guy
[22:16] has. Like his problem?
[22:18] No, it's player problem, I'm telling you.
[22:19] Tomorrow he was the highest of highs at one point that you.
[22:22] Can't remember. Oh, how's McGuire playing over
[22:25] him at the at the World Cup and. Bullshit.
[22:27] But by the time I was, I was winning the school that though
[22:29] at that time, Milan was like actually a school that took and
[22:32] well. Tomorrow Lulu was amazing, yes,
[22:34] but that's because Tomori wasn't making mistakes.
[22:36] I've never seen that Tomori make so many mistakes in his life.
[22:39] Whose fault is that? The player that's.
[22:40] Broke. We should have told you that.
[22:42] Tomori is not good on the We could have told you that.
[22:44] On the ball is the liability, on the.
[22:46] Defensively, man, it's like he lost his physicality he's
[22:48] getting, I don't believe. It No, I don't believe it.
[22:50] I think this no. Physicality.
[22:52] No, I think you're catching. Him have the.
[22:54] Yes, I think you're catching you in a real bad.
[22:56] Defenders do not go off form like to the point.
[22:58] Where they get to that's. Brother center backs aside from
[23:01] McGuire don't get form patches where they get seated on the
[23:04] bench. That's.
[23:05] That no, that's cap. It happens.
[23:06] Class class defenders that. Doesn't, well, look tell.
[23:09] Tell is off form right now. He's a fullback.
[23:11] That's different. Yeah, but tell were expected.
[23:13] He's expected to be the best left back in the world.
[23:15] Right now he's not playing as the best left back in the world.
[23:17] We have party all over him apparently.
[23:19] Yes, and DeMarco, DeMarco, DeMarco too.
[23:22] Like that's kind of crazy, bro. Let's not forget Virgil Van Dyke
[23:24] had a bad patch of form like a couple of years ago where he
[23:27] was. Yes, but his bad patch of form
[23:28] was still one of the best center backs in the league.
[23:31] Because because he had a lot of, he had a lot.
[23:34] And once a few years ago. A few years ago, after he came
[23:36] back from his torn ACL, he was bro brothers, Liverpool fans
[23:40] were saying. Might be time defenders could
[23:43] have a patch for him. A bad patch.
[23:45] Listen, Pablovich still makes too many mistakes.
[23:48] He's not. Ready for sale yeah we haven't
[23:49] even mentioned Barsa's back I know yeah I'll just I'll just
[23:54] say it so we know that how clear this is Balde left back Inigo
[23:59] Martinez which is might let them down a bit lower as let no later
[24:03] in the. I wouldn't say.
[24:03] So in the tournament, Kubarsi and Kunde.
[24:06] Smokes in almost every position except left back every
[24:09] everything. Current form tail it actually.
[24:13] Form tail, well, current tail still actually very.
[24:15] Good. No, he's getting benched next
[24:16] year. I'm telling you, he's been
[24:18] probably the worst defect. Because.
[24:19] Because I feel like he's trying too much.
[24:21] No, he's not trying enough. Oh, it pisses me off.
[24:23] It's like he's supposed to be the captain.
[24:25] He pisses me off when I watch him.
[24:26] Yes, because he has like an ego problem or something.
[24:29] I don't know what is wrong with him, but you cannot, you cannot
[24:32] look at him now and say, yeah, he he lost everything.
[24:35] Oh no, yeah, definitely not. That's not what I'm saying.
[24:38] I still think he's the best out of all of them.
[24:39] Purely misunderstood. Misunderstood genius.
[24:42] Purely looks so good right about now bro.
[24:44] Purely the guy who let in more. Goals than the figure Nasser, by
[24:47] the way. Bro he he, he studied the ship
[24:49] Leo and. Nasser has a debatably a better
[24:51] team than Milan right now. Fuck.
[24:53] Unfortunately. So let's look at Barcelona.
[24:55] LaPorte, the back lines moves almost every center back that we
[24:58] have. Wait, what are the teams that
[25:00] we're? Doing Barcelona.
[25:01] Barcelona. Barcelona Talk.
[25:02] About them in the next round because seem to.
[25:04] Be a bigger battle. Unfortunately, this is Barcelona
[25:06] sweep. Call it a day.
[25:08] Next one Bayern, Aston Villa. Now I think this is actually.
[25:13] AI mean The problem is that there's an actual like
[25:14] quantifiable. Villa, we're looking at Digney,
[25:18] Paul Torres. And.
[25:21] Maddie Cash and no. Yes.
[25:24] Maddie Cash, he's back. Konza is right center back and
[25:26] Maddie Cash plays right back. Yes.
[25:28] Recently. Maddie Cash didn't play last
[25:30] game because he was injured, but every time Maddie Cash is
[25:33] available he plays. I got him an FPLI know.
[25:36] He's the he's done his background.
[25:37] I'm I'm looking at Dean for FPL. Dean.
[25:40] Yeah, he's already is. Injured Dean?
[25:41] Yeah. He just got injured, but he's
[25:43] coming back after international break.
[25:45] But Bayern Munich has Alfonso Davies left back, Kim and Jay
[25:48] left center back, Oppa Mecano right center back and Rafael
[25:51] Guerrero right back. OK.
[25:53] So this is close. Honestly, this is close.
[25:55] Results speak volumes and one conceded four goals to Barsa and
[26:00] Villa's been extremely solid at the back, so maybe.
[26:02] Not extremely solid, I don't know about yeah, but.
[26:04] They haven't been getting clean sheets, but it's not like
[26:06] they're leaky. They did get kind of pumped by
[26:08] Spurs. OK, Yeah, they did.
[26:09] They did. They got.
[26:11] Honestly, is it crazy? Is it crazy to say it's tough?
[26:14] They went meet for meet with Bayern.
[26:15] Yeah, and they got a clean. Sheet against Bayern, but in the
[26:17] league they're not been keeping. They can see the two to
[26:19] Liverpool, 1 to Bruges, 4 to Spurs.
[26:23] One from Bruges is bad though. You allowed a goal against
[26:27] Bruges also. They lost the game 10 Yes, but
[26:30] you allowed a goal against Bruges 31 What?
[26:32] This Villa High Street is crazy. Varvar talks about Villa gives
[26:35] them a little bit of hype. Lose four games in a row.
[26:37] Yeah, that. Good.
[26:38] So Man City's in trouble, but not Aston Villa over here.
[26:40] Aston Villa is in trouble. Also Man United brother, we have
[26:42] a video in Amron is breathing down their necks.
[26:45] Just noticing bro breathing down.
[26:46] Their yeah, breathing down their necks.
[26:48] But I, by the way, I put Aston Villa like 7th or 8th in the
[26:51] Premier League, not in, but in Seattle.
[26:53] I put them very high. So like right now I'm actually
[26:56] on point, bro. I'm actually on point.
[26:59] But player for player bro. Center backs I give to Aston
[27:03] Villa. I'm not even counting Konza.
[27:06] Konza and Paul Torres are better than Kim and Jay and Oopa
[27:09] McConnell. I can't.
[27:10] You can't. Cons Is that good?
[27:11] Yes, Konza is legit. Konza is pretty good, but.
[27:14] Warm wise right now there's an argument I think in in the
[27:18] Premier League recently, like as we said before, is it entirely
[27:22] their fault? No.
[27:22] They'll meet for me. Yeah, I'm, I'm leaning towards
[27:25] Aston Villa, Yeah, but. Byron, but Byron are getting
[27:27] clean sheets almost every game in the Buna Ziga, which OK, we
[27:30] could bring up the yeah, it's the Buna Ziga, but.
[27:33] What about NCL? As as we said, you can only play
[27:36] what's in front of you. That's true.
[27:37] You can only play what's in front of you and they're
[27:38] winning. Games.
[27:39] So then KSG better be making it far in this list.
[27:41] OK, now this is kind of crazy. Byron has not conceded to go in
[27:43] five games. Yes, that's what I'm saying.
[27:46] Like right now, I think they kind of they kind of got it
[27:49] like. Who was that six game spitting?
[27:52] No. No Barcelona.
[27:53] Barcelona. Barcelona.
[27:55] Yeah, but I guess when you're playing Bochum Mines Union.
[27:57] TL Brolin TL they're getting. They're getting pumped.
[28:01] Are are we looking at player quality or like you've just like
[28:05] clean sheets 'cause then that definitely changes.
[28:07] There's a little bit of. Both, like I do think Bayern's
[28:10] quality is. I don't think it's better than
[28:13] Aston Villas. I think it's there.
[28:15] I think no. I think wing backs you give to
[28:17] Bayern, but both center backs you give that to Villa.
[28:19] That's my personal. Yes, but the gap in the gaps in
[28:23] the in denier and cash are. I think cash is near Guerrero.
[28:28] I would just put Guerrero above cash like that guy's.
[28:30] Underrated but, and Davies is clear of I'm going to give this
[28:34] to Bayern. I'm giving this to Villa
[28:35] personally. I'm going Villa.
[28:37] No, we got a tie. Who's switching over?
[28:40] And it will be Millie. Millie the Premier League hater,
[28:43] and now it's the two sides. Damn well you're acting like
[28:46] Kansa and Powers is. Is probably low key of elite
[28:51] defender or near elite. I'm not gonna give him elite
[28:54] elite tag yet, but he's near Elite.
[28:57] He needs to stop the Byron, the gimmicks, the flaming gimmicks.
[29:00] Consistent for the first time in his Byron tenure.
[29:02] Who? Kim.
[29:03] Yeah. Not in CL, but sure it.
[29:05] Took him ACL. Against mines and stuff, it's
[29:08] not hard. It's not hard bro.
[29:11] Whoopa McConnell, Forget what he talks about.
[29:13] Whoopa McConnell. Paul McConnell was still a good
[29:15] center back. He's there for.
[29:17] Room went silent. No there for Bayern it's just
[29:20] more. Bro every single Byron fan will
[29:23] tell you Whoopi McConnell is not a good the.
[29:25] Problem. The problem is that how far do I
[29:26] see Byron after this? Honestly, not incredibly far.
[29:31] I don't see Villa anywhere. Else I don't see Villa going
[29:33] that far either. Going into a game tomorrow, are
[29:35] you more confident scoring in Aston Villa or Bayern?
[29:39] That's. Villa Key Aston Villa.
[29:40] Really. Rivet.
[29:41] If I'm in Champions League, OK, there's an argument, but.
[29:44] Even just Unai Emery as a coach, like I find just the vision of
[29:48] him is. I I think you guys are taking
[29:50] total team into account like Bayern.
[29:53] You would rather play Aston Villa than Bayern?
[29:55] I think you guys are so deadlocked on Aston Villa that
[29:58] we're just gonna, I'm just gonna make Aston Villa go through.
[30:00] You're we're never changing. Yeah, we wouldn't.
[30:02] They, they figured out Aston Villa, that's third.
[30:04] They weren't changing. Wouldn't change it.
[30:05] So Aston Villa is through unfortunately.
[30:07] Bayern, you had my vote, but it is.
[30:10] What it is? I mean, we can go directly into
[30:13] real, I mean. No.
[30:15] Real against Chelsea here, which I think is gonna end up being,
[30:19] just because of injuries, a lot closer than people think.
[30:23] Sneaky, whoever put them up against Chelsea in this.
[30:25] And it wasn't us. Well, it was us, but it was
[30:28] literally so Chelsea, I mean you, you're looking at Malo
[30:31] gusto and and I don't. Know Cucrella might start.
[30:34] Malo Gusto Cole will for fan of Rich James.
[30:37] Exactly. That's the that's the back four
[30:38] in my, in my eyes. You can been.
[30:40] You can be consistent. Yeah, you can change
[30:42] consistently. Shit, you can change Cucuidella
[30:44] for gusto. Chelsea's defense has not been
[30:46] good. I don't think they've kept a
[30:47] clean cheat this season. Yes, they have.
[30:48] Yes, they have multiple ones. Against Bond, not against FC
[30:52] Noah and shit, we're not counting that.
[30:53] Don't care against Bournemouth, against the they kept, they
[31:00] kept. The first 2-2 of the first
[31:03] actually, no wait, one second they kept against Bournemouth
[31:05] and West Ham and they have not kept a clean sheet since then.
[31:08] If you only conceded 13 goals, it's mid pack in the Premier
[31:10] League. I mean, they just, they, they're
[31:13] leaky, just the fact that they, they allow consistent, there's
[31:18] always one or two. Yeah, but they're bending, not
[31:20] breaking, like they're not getting blown out.
[31:22] Yeah, they're, they're OK. The the quality at their fate
[31:25] that they're coming up against is high 'cause it is the Premier
[31:28] League at the end of the day and these are relatively young
[31:30] players that are finally starting to get into it after a
[31:33] year and a half of rebuild. I could give them the benefit of
[31:36] the doubt. You concede one goal but
[31:38] obviously you have confidence in your team to score three goals
[31:40] or two goals, then I think you've done a a good defensive
[31:43] job. If you're costing your team
[31:45] goals. If you're the reason why your
[31:47] team is losing 3, two or. 3 Nothing.
[31:50] Then there's a problem. Then there's an issue.
[31:51] Because clearly Enzo, Enzo Mariska has been building up his
[31:55] defence very well. He found his starters.
[31:57] You have Reese that just came in now after numerous months of
[32:00] injuries, You know, like it's coming together.
[32:03] I think this is a good defense against Real Madrid.
[32:05] And now you go to real and Mandy's healthy.
[32:08] So include Mandy in there as a, as the other, as the other full
[32:12] back you put who you put Vasquez.
[32:14] Oh, the other one. Vasquez is injured.
[32:16] Vasquez is injured, Yeah. So then they would be.
[32:18] You're literally looking at some random youth Academy product.
[32:21] By the You're Adamilitalo. Yeah, injured.
[32:24] Adamilitalo injured. Lucas Vasquez injured.
[32:27] Alliba retired. Alliba kind of getting back into
[32:30] the team. It's very tough to see this Real
[32:33] Madrid team and say, yeah, they're defensively solid.
[32:36] But but you still have Mehndi, which is one of the, I'd say top
[32:39] five in left. Back in the world you still have
[32:41] Rudiger, which is the top two. You can even say he's the best.
[32:45] It's not the second best center back in the world that still
[32:48] carries who? I don't know who that other
[32:49] center back you. Can you can put Francisco Garcia
[32:52] right back, which would never happen, but you can just stick.
[32:54] I don't wanna say charity charity's sake for Real Madrid,
[32:58] but honestly? And you know you have two and
[33:00] many. You can't like 2 and many is in
[33:01] your two. You can't even put him at
[33:02] center. Yeah, honestly, I might be
[33:03] going. I mean, we can go more in debt,
[33:05] but I might be going Chelsea, I might be going.
[33:08] Chelsea, Yeah, but but does Chelsea have a top five player
[33:11] in there? Brother Malo Gusto is Lucas
[33:14] Vasquez level. OK, yes, I thought you were
[33:16] about to say top five. I was about to freak the no.
[33:19] No, no, no. He's like Lucas Vasquez level.
[33:21] But would you say Reese top five?
[33:23] I don't think I can put that tag on him now.
[33:25] Right now. Why?
[33:27] I can't trust it. I can't trust it yet.
[33:30] It's they're gonna trust it soon.
[33:31] It's like that, bro. It's it's like if a girlfriend
[33:34] like every single time cheated on you and then got back
[33:38] together and cheated on you got back together, cheated on you
[33:41] and you got back together. Now it's been like 3-4 good
[33:45] time, like good dates. Are you Are you ready to trust
[33:47] it again? I.
[33:48] See what you're saying? Damn you got a lot of people
[33:50] thinking right now. People pause this video, I can
[33:54] tell. You philosophical varva.
[33:55] She's cheated on you before. Don't go.
[33:56] Just don't even go back to save yourself.
[33:58] That's crazy. Then you would sell Bremer right
[34:00] now for you. Yeah.
[34:01] But then no, no. That's not his fault.
[34:04] Brother Luke Shaw, you have to sell that stock years ago, yeah.
[34:07] No, this is like this is like a a champion like let's say a
[34:11] boxing chest since we were talking about boxing.
[34:12] Boxing champion goes into a belt fight, ends up winning, but then
[34:16] his next fight isn't for another 4. 100 Yeah, he looks dominant,
[34:18] but then the next one cooked. Next one cooked but it's that
[34:22] type of but he's. Dominant.
[34:23] At in that moment, but then after that, but he's looked
[34:26] good. Like we can make a video next
[34:27] week and and he won't enjoy reshapes.
[34:31] Regardless, he's there now and he's been playing good the last
[34:33] few games. Good, but honestly, not even on
[34:34] his prime because he's defensive.
[34:36] He's like, he's like, he's playing good, but he's not
[34:41] playing a top five right back in the world.
[34:42] He's. Still a lead on set pieces
[34:44] defensively. Malagusa, the offensive
[34:46] fullback. So he's kind of dropping into
[34:47] like a back three at some points.
[34:49] I don't know, like we're talking about.
[34:51] I don't even think Reese is really pushing the needle
[34:52] because Colewell And what? Who else did you say?
[34:55] I guess Colewell Fofana. I don't rate Fofana.
[34:57] I don't. Rate Fofana that much you.
[34:58] Still haven't Real Madrid, still have Antonio Rudiger on that
[35:01] team. Yeah.
[35:03] The problem is I can't you, I can't look at Chelsea and say,
[35:06] yeah, those guys are. So we we need to define what's
[35:09] Real Madrid's back for. And then I'll make my my final
[35:11] decision. Mendi, Rudiger, Alaba.
[35:14] Are we putting Alaba? He's coming back like next week,
[35:16] actually, yeah, like he's he's our next week.
[35:18] He's in full training. Brother, if he's there, I'm
[35:21] sorry. I'll make it a very in full
[35:22] training I. Thought he was retired.
[35:23] No, no, he's in full training. He came back like he was in full
[35:26] training right before international break.
[35:28] So I think he's coming back. And the right back we said Frank
[35:30] Garcia. Yeah, I I would love people.
[35:34] If we're including Alibi, I'm gonna pick them over OF.
[35:36] Course, of course. How could you not?
[35:38] But if you're putting Jesus Vallejo there.
[35:40] Haze was Vallejo. That's a name.
[35:43] This is like this. Generations.
[35:44] Ago Would you rather have Rudiger and a Shitter or Fafana
[35:48] and Colwill? I'd rather 2.
[35:49] Cheeks are the same online. Rudiger and a shitter.
[35:51] But Fafana is a shitter, so for me it's Rudiger and a shitter,
[35:54] yeah. Great.
[35:55] It's either would you rather have colwill or.
[35:57] Or, I don't know, Alibi Luke coming back.
[35:58] Yeah, but it's unfair to put him.
[36:00] It's unfair to put a guy that's we haven't even seen.
[36:02] I say we put Alibi back because then we can put Luke Shaw back
[36:05] from. Yeah, but how you gonna but.
[36:06] Now we don't call Reese. James is.
[36:08] That what I'm saying. How could you not call Reese
[36:09] James? But now you're counting Oliver.
[36:11] Bremer's back, baby. Game is game bro.
[36:13] Welcome back, Bremer. Love GI.
[36:14] Don't know this is a little bit. I'm gonna go Real Madrid on this
[36:17] one. Egregious if we're including
[36:19] Alva, which I think we should. I'm going real.
[36:21] Madrid. The way that the low poles are
[36:23] just jumping around, it's crazy. I'm gonna go Real Madrid.
[36:26] But Barsa. Fans are gonna hate us for this
[36:28] one. As if they don't already hate us
[36:32] Barsa fans more. Bro this guy just said Barca
[36:35] fans are gonna hate us for this one.
[36:36] They're. Gonna hate us for this.
[36:40] I'll give Chelsea the the charity points, so 3.
[36:43] Flowers, yes. All right.
[36:45] Guys, they do it just to rage bait.
[36:46] You don't even don't even give them the don't even give them a
[36:48] comment. Let's don't listen to them.
[36:50] Let's do a. Quick point here.
[36:52] City City, UVA. Let's make this quick.
[36:55] Wow, but. Who gave a city?
[36:58] Yeah, they have. The seating.
[37:00] The seating, kind of. Crazy that city and.
[37:02] Then you may, you may say, oh, that's sitting.
[37:04] One cabal in Bremer. What would you say after this
[37:07] one cabal ACL pulled pork situation that.
[37:10] Was it actually ACL? Yeah.
[37:11] Yeah, he's good. Just.
[37:13] Like. Cook who's gonna play?
[37:15] That's fine. We're good.
[37:17] Maybe if you take Bremer's ACL and Juan Cabal's ACL, you can
[37:21] create, you can give it to Bremer and then you can get
[37:23] Bremer back like. A surrogate ACL.
[37:26] So you give cabal both ACL that are torn and bremer both good
[37:30] Acls. That's a good quote.
[37:31] And then what is something? Yeah, yeah.
[37:33] We'll, we'll try that. We'll we'll send an e-mail.
[37:35] We'll send an e-mail to J Medical.
[37:37] Make a Make a deck on Monday mail.
[37:38] We'll send it. We'll send it to J Medical.
[37:41] But I'm going to say we got soap at rayback, Savona at left back.
[37:48] It's not starting good. We'll put Cambiasso just.
[37:50] We'll put cambiasso argument for argument's sake.
[37:53] We'll put. Cambiasso made the mid the
[37:55] midfield three video, the front three video good video.
[37:58] Versatile K. He is pretty, he is noted.
[38:00] He is what we see with Italy. The guy brother could play.
[38:03] Against France, I gotta say. Still scored.
[38:07] And then our center backs, I'm gonna say Kalulu and Gotti God.
[38:11] So now. Player.
[38:12] Quality versus Gabia, literally like harassment wins.
[38:17] No, Yes. No.
[38:18] God. God.
[38:19] Oh my God, How Gabriel's bad. You know, Gabia.
[38:21] Gabia. Gabia is better than Gotti?
[38:23] No, I would say Gotti is better than.
[38:25] Gotti is so much better than Gotti.
[38:26] Is mid versus mid bro. I know, but like, I'm not gonna
[38:29] waste. Time.
[38:30] Pick one. It's literally like asking would
[38:32] you rather move forward or backwards type question.
[38:35] Whatever that means. You want whatever.
[38:37] More like the reference, right? You don't know the reference,
[38:39] but Producer told laughing. Barbara moving backwards, I can
[38:44] guarantee you that. But I, I, I take Gotti, I'm not
[38:49] going to cap go take. Whatever.
[38:50] Barbara got Luke Shaw behind him and Sidney Sweeney in front of
[38:52] him and he moving back. What's the meat backing up
[38:55] there? What's the meme meat?
[38:59] The meat is diet meat. The meat is crazy, but.
[39:03] I don't even remember. I don't even remember is
[39:06] diabolic, but K so Man City, we can define it as Kyle Walker
[39:13] right back or you can. Play Rico Rico.
[39:16] OK, but it's weird because it changes game by game.
[39:18] But you can say, OK, Rico Lewis right back, Guevardio left back
[39:21] and then you would say who Akanji at center back and Ruben
[39:24] Diaz is injured. So you can't put him they.
[39:27] Got stone? They're cooked.
[39:28] Stones is injured also according to close Left Stones, but
[39:30] expected to return late. November, he's coming back.
[39:33] He's coming back. Stones is coming back.
[39:34] So I'll say, I'll say stones and a kanji.
[39:36] Aki is about to come back as well, and I think he's better
[39:38] than I'm. Gonna keep it a bug just
[39:39] guardial alone so I need to know.
[39:43] And I can tell who has him in FPL.
[39:44] Juan cabal not injured. What's your choice here?
[39:49] Now we have a conversation. Bremer not injured.
[39:52] I think you make all the way. Bremer not injured There's.
[39:54] There's no conversation, no. Yeah, conversation.
[39:56] Yes. Bro Bremer would actually.
[39:58] That's a TEGO multi tax right there.
[39:59] It's not Tego, brother. Brother.
[40:01] Player quality. Games last year Bremer was the
[40:04] the my. Name is Rico Lewis.
[40:05] Pretty like he was up there top. Three Ruben Diaz Akanji brother.
[40:08] Kalulu, Bremer. Kalulu was Milan fodder, like,
[40:11] right? Now he's now he's insane.
[40:13] If I mentioned now, he's insane. Years ago he would have been the
[40:16] first one or it. More And what happened three
[40:18] years ago, four months ago come out that was a placebo, 3 years.
[40:22] The week before you guys transfer, if you mentioned
[40:24] Kalulu it would have been you guys the one cabal with the
[40:26] inter instead. Would have been the worst.
[40:28] You want to do who the? Fuck is this Colombian guy bro
[40:30] he's fucking shit. Bro Juan Cabal was fucking
[40:32] crazy. Literally played and said yeah
[40:34] last. Season.
[40:35] I heard it was but. You didn't even know who he was.
[40:37] Of course bro, we all knew who he was.
[40:39] You didn't know who he was. Juan Cabal, to you I went.
[40:43] That's what I did. Thank goodness.
[40:45] You're lucky he's injured because I that brother was good.
[40:47] That brother was good. I'll give credit though, I like
[40:49] Savona, he's not bad. Brother, he's shit.
[40:51] He's the only one. Like he's a.
[40:52] Center back playing right back. But you're, you're just by like
[40:55] the Italian buys. You just had to throw something
[40:57] in Bro he. He's the by far way worse than
[41:00] Gotti. Way worse than Gotti Bro Savona.
[41:03] Has potential. What has he proven?
[41:04] He's not good at anything. He could play as a center back
[41:06] and he could play as a right bunk.
[41:07] Bro, that guy's like Hoisen. He's just tall.
[41:09] He's. Fucking tall.
[41:11] He sucks. All he he's like Samuel Pitt.
[41:12] All he does is pass the ball backwards.
[41:13] And Gotti apparently is the best.
[41:15] I'll I'll someone clipped this for in six months when Savona is
[41:18] considered like a pillar of UJ's.
[41:20] Project. I think back what I said, Savona
[41:23] has potential. He's just.
[41:24] Very in your track. Six months later, he's very
[41:26] perfect. Future investment.
[41:28] Yes, let's go, Let's go to a close one.
[41:30] So I I got UV. Yeah, OK.
[41:32] Mancini, Mancini, Mancini. OK, let's go to a close one now.
[41:36] Liver cues in against Spurs. Now Spurs.
[41:38] It ain't a close one. I ain't a close one.
[41:41] Spurs on paper have 4 almost world class defenders but I'm
[41:46] pretty sure 9 clean sheets in 49 games or something like that for
[41:50] ANG. The defense is just trash at
[41:52] this point. I wouldn't say trash but mid
[41:55] pack I think ANG is the problem in this situation because talent
[41:59] wise they have they have depth and they have elite talent that
[42:03] center back. I don't see why this fails.
[42:04] So you're saying if Ang got sacked tomorrow a new manager
[42:07] comes in and Spurs are not an amazing defensive team but a
[42:11] good defensive team 100% so if you give.
[42:13] Vandeven and Romero together, I don't think.
[42:14] Vandeven works in any other system other than an ANG system.
[42:17] No, bro. He's a highline merchant, pure
[42:20] highline merchant, but he's amazing at a highline.
[42:21] Good passer, extremely physical. Fast.
[42:24] That's exactly what you want. For in my in my opinion, if you
[42:27] if you got a more defensive manager, Vandeven would be more
[42:30] of a left back than he is a center back.
[42:32] That could work, but listen, you like a.
[42:34] Guardiola like a Guardiol. Sure, but you have, you have
[42:38] Udoggi already there, you have Pedro Poro on the other side.
[42:41] Romero's a World Cup winner. This is a this is a really good
[42:44] defense. On paper this team should be
[42:45] getting way more clean sheets than they do, but it like we've
[42:49] seen that they are leaking goals which I'm if you're taught and
[42:53] fine you're concerned. And just and just not known for
[42:55] clean sheets, which is in general, especially with taught
[42:58] for clean sheets. But I feel like if you give
[43:02] Chubby Alonzo that back line, he finds a lot of success with that
[43:06] backline. Chappie Alonso with this
[43:07] backline, we went undefeated, pretty much.
[43:09] He went undefeated. I'm talking about.
[43:11] If you gave him, you gave Spurs backline.
[43:12] If you gave. Him, yes.
[43:15] I think he would do way. Chap Alonzo also plays the five
[43:17] back, which is like that attacks a little bit, attacks a little
[43:20] bit because individually. Get to enter.
[43:23] Because individually defenders like TA is what it's TA should
[43:26] not be 86 rated on FIFA like the the I don't want to use FIFA and
[43:29] it's not about FIFA. But the common consensus around
[43:31] the defender like TA is that he's 86, he's a walkout.
[43:33] He's up there in the echelon of high tier center backs, brother.
[43:37] Even on a free. He's not.
[43:38] He ain't that good. He ain't that good.
[43:40] To master class, don't. Worry he's been.
[43:43] How old is he? Tabs have been kept 2728.
[43:46] A little too young, but. Young.
[43:47] That's prime. I'm pretty sure the stat is
[43:49] crazy but I think it's like 70 plus goals allowed in 49 games
[43:53] for for a Spurs 70 plus. Listen, when you look at the
[43:56] highline, these brothers need to drop it a little.
[43:59] Bit very risky. I don't understand.
[44:01] Managers that play a highline to the half.
[44:03] Brighton, by the way, you. Brought the fan.
[44:04] Brighton fan Well Barsa is actually working but I honestly
[44:07] do not lawyer by I do not like it.
[44:09] I don't like the highline, like much risk, it's too much risk.
[44:13] But if you have pacey center backs, technically you should be
[44:16] able to. I don't know how it's working
[44:18] for. Barcelona but for Spurs it's not
[44:19] working and they have world class defenders to be all.
[44:21] Playing in La Liga where there's no pacey strikers.
[44:25] And lape Vinicius. Yeah, but those brothers don't
[44:28] know how to stay on side. And by the way, in that all
[44:30] classical, if Mbappe and Vinicius know how to stay on
[44:32] side low key, that's a very close game.
[44:34] But then credit to Barcelona's backline.
[44:36] But anyways, Spurs is not keeping clean sheets because the
[44:39] highline is so high and you have Luis Diaz running towards you
[44:43] like you're not going to beat that.
[44:46] Look, you're not. You're not.
[44:47] Let's be speechless. But Leverkusen?
[44:49] What do we define as Leverkusen's backline?
[44:52] Agree. Before, before we make our
[44:53] choice. Guerrero, TA.
[44:55] If we have to Guerrero streamline it into.
[44:57] The wrong guard and Grimaldo. Grimaldo.
[44:59] If Grimaldo Frimpong has full backs, which I don't even think
[45:01] like Frimpong is not a right, if you had to put them at right
[45:04] back, it's all right with the. Spurs.
[45:06] This is like a command 11. Just shoe.
[45:08] Yeah, you have to shoehorn them into a four.
[45:09] I would put Grimaldo left back TA left center back, Tapsoba
[45:13] right center back and Frimpong right back.
[45:15] I like Tapsoba. Tapsoba is a good young player,
[45:17] not bad. Very good on the ball, yeah, but
[45:20] low key personnel, if you're including coaching into this,
[45:23] you have to give it to Leverkusen.
[45:24] But low key personnel, I would low key give this to Spurs.
[45:28] I think they're 4 is better than.
[45:29] Oh, I don't think it's crazy to say Spurs.
[45:30] I'm saying Spurs. I'm saying Spurs.
[45:32] Yeah, but the the I find Leverkusen stats, bro.
[45:35] Like like Leverkusen was one of the best defensive teams in the
[45:38] world last season. But now, but now this season it
[45:41] they're not as defensive as solid, but I think it's.
[45:43] Right now. Right.
[45:44] Yeah. Well, current form, Yeah.
[45:45] Well, listen. Players are not playing that
[45:47] well defensively right now either.
[45:48] Yeah, they aren't. Have a doggy in FPL you ever
[45:50] need to drop them? This is true, actually.
[45:52] I'm going to track my spurs, but I might still go Spurs.
[45:53] But I'm going to think about it for a second.
[45:55] But player for player, in my opinion, Spurs take every
[45:57] position. Yes and yes.
[46:04] I think that's. Grimaldo, you're just looking at
[46:05] stats. That's all you're looking at.
[46:06] Because Grimaldo. Before this shabby Alonso.
[46:09] That's like saying that's like saying Udoggi better than
[46:12] DeMarco just because Demarco's a left wing back.
[46:14] You can't say that. Why not?
[46:16] If you if you were doing a back five and it's a left wing back
[46:19] instead, you would never pick Udoggi over a Grimaldo or a
[46:22] DeMarco. I'm still seeing Spurs.
[46:24] I don't know. We've we've lest we forget.
[46:26] Leverkusen is better than Pedro Poro.
[46:28] Leverkusen got pumped by Liverpool 40 pumped.
[46:32] Yeah, but. Yeah, Liverpool's that.
[46:34] Spurs wouldn't get pumped right now by Spurs.
[46:37] They wouldn't. Spurs by Liverpool, Yeah, but I
[46:40] don't know. I'm I'm gonna give it to lever
[46:42] cues in action. I like I really like lever cues.
[46:44] In 'cause I'm taking. Into account the structure like
[46:47] like structure's better yeah, lever cues in structure's better
[46:49] but. But low key like I'm basing.
[46:52] If if it's the like you put them in the same defensive system,
[46:57] which one would you pick? Spurs.
[46:59] Yeah, no, that's unfair. That's unfair because they do.
[47:02] We're talking about defenses. We're not talking about talent.
[47:04] If we're just talking about talent of the back four Spurs
[47:06] wins. But defense as a whole, you have
[47:08] to look at the five back. You have no choice.
[47:11] Yeah, low key. I don't know, I'll I'll give it
[47:14] to Spurs, but. Isn't Van de Van injured?
[47:16] He's coming back. Coming back yeah yeah cuz that
[47:18] changes a. Lot, I'm sure injury.
[47:20] So we got, I just got more producer toe, we got stretch
[47:22] City perfect. Bump the road and then OK, so
[47:28] I'll give it to Spurs. So Spurs.
[47:29] I really do think Leverkusen is a very solid backlog, yeah.
[47:32] Next up, this is for you boys, Manchester United versus Inter
[47:35] Milan. We sit on the same couch for
[47:37] this bro. If we're doing the shoehorning
[47:40] to four back then it should hurt Inter also because they got
[47:42] DeMarco a left back. You better keep your logic.
[47:45] DeMarco plays DeMarco. Yeah, DeMarco.
[47:46] He's. Actually a lot and.
[47:48] He's been insane. He scores goals and insane.
[47:51] I can't. Lie, fight.
[47:51] There's probably his best season.
[47:52] To fight? What the fuck fight?
[47:54] I think this is his best season for Inter, for Italy.
[47:57] I'm gonna keep this one quick. It's Inter Milan.
[47:59] Yeah, no, you need to hear the names.
[48:02] What are the names? Bastoni, DeMarco left back.
[48:05] Bastoni left center back. Would you?
[48:07] Which one would you rather? A.
[48:08] Ched be a ched be right center back.
[48:09] You'd rather a ched be then povard.
[48:11] No povard. Right back up, Povard, right
[48:13] back. I would put Dumphries right
[48:15] back, but whatever. He he actually hasn't been that
[48:18] bad. His brother.
[48:18] Cannot defend he. For Netherlands, he plays well.
[48:20] Netherlands brothers scores. He's the best attacking force in
[48:23] Netherlands. History put him in the top three
[48:25] of. Us that he has more goals and
[48:26] assists for for Netherlands than Ronald Coleman.
[48:30] Ronald Coleman's a fucking center back.
[48:31] OK. But Dumfries is a right back,
[48:33] yeah. Dumfries is a is in the same.
[48:35] It was a center back. Well, Coleman was also
[48:37] offensive. Yeah, but Coleman also, I saw a.
[48:39] Stat that Christian Ronaldo actually had more goals for
[48:41] Manchester United than Real Ferdinand, Yeah.
[48:44] But Dumfries has like. More clean sheets than Cristiano
[48:46] Ronaldo? Dumfries has maybe what, 25,
[48:48] maybe 30 games for Netherlands? Like Coleman took Penn.
[48:50] So it's kind of like when like how many pens back then were
[48:53] given, you know, but. Do you expect Dumfries to be a
[48:56] pen score for Netherlands right now?
[48:58] I. Don't see it.
[48:59] You're locking in Pavard right back.
[49:01] Yeah, I put Pavard. And then Man United, Lisandro
[49:04] left center back. I'll give you the locks.
[49:06] Lisandro left center back. The licked like this.
[49:07] Right center back. I'll go mass rally left back.
[49:11] Yuck. Lisandro left center back.
[49:13] The licked right center back. Download right back.
[49:15] Okay, enter me left. What do you mean that's a little
[49:18] rough? You have fucking a cheddar.
[49:19] Beat though I'm gonna keep it but.
[49:21] Yeah, but a cheddar beat. It's not that far.
[49:22] Did you not play? Quality players, did you not
[49:24] watch the Interonopoly game and a cheddar beat completely
[49:26] locking up your launch Kaku. Yeah, but then also.
[49:28] He's in a three back. I tried to be in A2 back.
[49:31] Yes, we get cooked, we get cooked.
[49:32] Look at Lazio. Keep keep in mind you picked
[49:34] Spurs for. Player quality.
[49:36] I know I did so but that's why I'm thinking right now.
[49:38] But. Also player quality inter I'm
[49:40] gonna get. Hypocritical out here, left
[49:42] back. I will give it to enter even
[49:44] though I think Masrawi in the back 4 is severely clear of
[49:47] DeMarco in the. Back No, no.
[49:48] Bastoni clear. Bastoni clear.
[49:50] Yeah. Other two positions I give it to
[49:52] us. No.
[49:52] But then that what that's supposed to mean that you go
[49:54] through Pavard is better than the the.
[49:56] Lick that ceddi delictor ceddi. OK, you went to.
[49:59] I'll give you deleted charity just for.
[50:00] That law's clear, Pavard. Oh, come on now.
[50:04] Clear of Pavar. Come on now, come on now, Pavar
[50:07] is like. Don't do this and see bias.
[50:09] Don't do this please you I need, I need to you to take.
[50:13] I think this is a tie, but you guys are obviously.
[50:15] I see I bro, I, I'm, I look at manches, you know, I don't look
[50:18] at manches, you know, like other people, bro, I don't look at
[50:20] them like with hate. Sometimes I do depending on what
[50:22] you say, but. He he's been saying that he
[50:24] wants Lisandro. Yeah, I love me writing, by the
[50:27] way. You want Lisandro, but your left
[50:29] center back is Bastoni. I don't.
[50:31] Know but Bastoni Center Central. Center back words.
[50:34] The words. The words that you use.
[50:36] OK, but doesn't mean doesn't mean I want to get rid of
[50:38] Bastoni to get Lisandro come. On now they insist something
[50:41] that doesn't need to be said. Do you do you like pancakes?
[50:44] Oh, so just because you like pancakes, that means you don't
[50:46] like scrambled eggs? But did I say I don't like
[50:49] scrambled eggs? But that's the meat.
[50:52] That's. The meat, that's a you should
[50:53] have said waffles. Waffles, yes.
[50:55] Waffles, that's what it is. Scrambled eggs.
[50:57] Scrambled they usually. You eat pancakes, Which
[50:59] scrambled egg don't like eggs Benedict?
[51:02] When did I say I don't like that brother?
[51:03] I, I, I love meat. Sandra Martinez, Dalit.
[51:06] I do think he's a very solid. Setting people with the.
[51:11] The money spare, money spare. We we keep forgetting that
[51:13] people are probably listening. They just, they hear Millie
[51:16] hitting him with the yeah. And with the, yeah.
[51:21] That's a good noise to confess. So whatever you imagine the
[51:26] young as and then when you get a free time, go check, like go see
[51:29] what you thought, like what you thought.
[51:31] Was it visualizing million? I think I think enter window.
[51:33] Yeah, whatever. We'll give it to enter.
[51:35] But that's that's what the kids are saying nowadays I want to
[51:37] talk about. United bro.
[51:38] Oh shit, what is yours? No.
[51:39] Amrim's gonna create. We're gonna see Madras United
[51:42] are gonna benefit from this back 5 tax in a couple of months.
[51:45] And then we're gonna have this conversation again.
[51:47] I got a question for you. I have Lisandro.
[51:48] And FPL, should I drop him now? No, because we are about to.
[51:52] 'Cause you got I switch. Next, wait a month.
[51:54] Sheets. We already had the most clean
[51:55] sheets with back four. Imagine now.
[51:58] Imagine now. Imagine now.
[52:01] That's all I'm gonna say. If we did this, we did this
[52:05] defense list a bit too early. Give it two months.
[52:08] Man United would have been maybe in the finals.
[52:10] Maybe in the finals. Lord knows bro now.
[52:14] Liverpool, PSG. Let's make this quick Liverpool,
[52:16] Liverpool. PSG like they're in the same
[52:19] boat as Bayern. They do well in the in their
[52:21] domestic league, but then champions.
[52:22] Millie named PS GS left back. That's a tough one.
[52:26] No, no. But Nuno's injured.
[52:28] No, Nino Mendez. He's injured.
[52:29] Yeah, Nino Mendez, Nuno Mendez dropped almost a man in Max
[52:32] performance. He's.
[52:33] Not Beraldo. Portugal No.
[52:34] Beraldo's a center back, but. Brother, go check the lineups.
[52:37] It's Braldo Marquinos, I'm pretty sure.
[52:39] Go check the fob in. No, I think Patras been playing
[52:41] a lot too. It's also Patras.
[52:42] And then I. Tell Patrick, OK, but for
[52:48] Liverpool it's considered Robertson left back, Van Dyke,
[52:50] left center back, Konate, right center back in Trent.
[52:52] Yeah, that's really hard to beat to beat.
[52:54] Unfortunately, Robertson's the. And their quality and
[52:57] consistent, consistent. And and like real life
[52:59] performances like crazy. And then I don't care what this
[53:04] foot mob says because I know Nuno Mendez is healthy and he's
[53:08] going to start Screener. Screener.
[53:10] No, that was. Already lost, that was.
[53:11] But I'm I can tell you right now, this is actually not that
[53:14] bad. It's Nuno Mendez, Patrol,
[53:17] Marquinos and Hakimi. This.
[53:19] Would beat a lot of other teams. I'm not going to be a lot.
[53:21] Of low key, that's a very underrated back line, but we
[53:24] also do give them benefit of the doubt because they play in
[53:26] League Garden so we don't really like keep up.
[53:29] Really, you're able to put Beraldo left back some games
[53:31] versus Yeah and. In and in CLI mean they've been
[53:34] getting exposed. Yeah, CL, they're getting.
[53:36] Multiple arsenal that struggle offense.
[53:38] Two goals against Atletico Madrid, which have been.
[53:40] Struggling is it? Is it 'cause they're full backs
[53:42] are very attacking, like a key. We know how much he attacks.
[53:45] Well, they got Mendez is a left. Winger tool.
[53:47] You have Grimaldo for Frimpong basically.
[53:48] Yeah, but a lot of. Those 3 back.
[53:50] Yeah, I don't know. It's tough on paper, PSG look
[53:53] good but it's just not clicking. Not sure why but yeah, Liverpool
[53:57] definitely go through pretty easily.
[54:00] OK damn so how we how we doing this bracket now?
[54:02] Well, we can. We can go because we barely
[54:03] spoke about Liverpool and well, no, actually, we spoke about
[54:05] Liverpool Inter right now recently, so we can go all the
[54:08] way down. Damn, this is a crazy matchup.
[54:10] Quarterfinals, Spurs against Aston Villa.
[54:13] Oh. My goodness this is bro teams
[54:16] that can't keep a clean sheet. Rose beat by spros SPROS.
[54:19] I'm looking for a SPRO right now but Spurs beat Bayern at the end
[54:23] of the day like that and not Bayern I.
[54:24] Mean Aston Villa. Yeah, sorry, Aston Villa beat
[54:28] Bayern. So Aston Villa.
[54:30] I think I would rather Aston Villa.
[54:31] I'm not going to cap. I'd rather have maybe not Aston
[54:34] Villa's players, but like, I don't know, as a unit, I would
[54:37] rather have Aston Villa. I feel like they.
[54:39] Complement each other better, I find 'cause they almost play the
[54:42] same highline. Spurs Spurs low key have that
[54:45] PSG thing with their full backs where their full backs are both
[54:49] who attacking like Pedro, Poro and Udogi.
[54:52] You could find them way up the field and then their center
[54:55] backs are they? Do that isolation with the
[54:57] center box. I I don't really know tactics
[54:59] like that, but like the the brothers have these two center
[55:01] backs just lying in the back and they just bomb forward the full
[55:04] backs. It's and the Highline.
[55:06] You look at midfielders playing full backs then 'cause they got.
[55:08] Not even because it's literally like them two holding down the
[55:11] Fort and the the the defensive line is super high so obviously
[55:15] there's counter attacks after counter attack.
[55:16] Meanwhile, Aston Villa, they play similarly not yeah, but
[55:19] Maddie Cash, a player like Mattie Cash is more defensive.
[55:21] He no like he's bombing forward. When he needs to.
[55:24] But Dinge knows he has to stay back.
[55:26] Dinge is solid but. Mattie Cash is a more
[55:28] defensively oriented full back I.
[55:30] Wouldn't say so I wouldn't. Say yeah, I wouldn't say so.
[55:33] Either my fair share of Mattie cash, I know.
[55:35] You know Mattie Cash in FBL? I don't know, but I would have
[55:37] to look up his he man. That brother looks like he's
[55:39] playing higher up the pitch than Dinge.
[55:41] No Dinge. Dinge is practically playing
[55:43] left back and then they're back up to Dinge, Z and Matson, who's
[55:46] practically a left winger. So you said Deanie playing left
[55:50] back. Left left wing.
[55:51] Sorry, but I don't know even this is tough.
[55:55] I'd go Aston Villa on. This I'm going to go Aston
[55:56] Villa. I'm going Spurs.
[55:57] I'm going Spurs, No. Bro how is spurs a team with 9
[56:02] clean sheets in 49 games? How many define the Aston?
[56:06] Villa because they don't get clean sheets.
[56:07] They have more than 9 in 49 games.
[56:10] No. Start counting.
[56:11] Do this season only, it'll be easier.
[56:14] Sure, Spurs have one. But look at player quality.
[56:18] Spurs smokes them, I don't. You Spurs Villa has.
[56:21] Wait, who did I vote for? Spurs.
[56:23] Villa has conceded 17 goals this season.
[56:26] That's horrendous. How many clean sheets?
[56:28] Bro I I mean. How many?
[56:30] They're all. Four against Aston Villa.
[56:32] They got a. They got a.
[56:33] Four against Spurs. They got a clean sheet versus
[56:35] United, They got a clean sheet versus Boronia, They got a clean
[56:39] sheet versus Bayern versus Young Boys.
[56:42] Champions League. Four.
[56:44] That's 4 right there bro. Champions, yeah.
[56:47] Just when it rains, it pours. And if we did this video a month
[56:50] ago, where before, before Aston Villa allowed all these goals in
[56:54] the last month, this wouldn't be a conversation.
[56:56] Was the final, to be fair, I mean Martinez did have a lot of
[56:58] clean sheets last season. Yes, I remember checking the.
[57:01] I'm telling you, this isn't close.
[57:03] I'm sorry I'm. Still saying Spurs?
[57:06] When are you gotta flip? Why us?
[57:08] You guys gotta flip. Bro Spurs with nine Oh my God.
[57:11] Well, there was more of a conversation Spurs versus
[57:13] Leverkus. You're we are allowing as a
[57:15] football podcast, we are allowing Spurs with 9 clean
[57:18] sheets and 49 games to go to a semi final.
[57:20] Do you hear yourself right now in terms of best but.
[57:22] That's the bracket making. That's the bracket making,
[57:24] brother. Yeah.
[57:24] I think it's the bracket they lose versus everybody else on
[57:26] this list like. Fires smoke spurs.
[57:29] I'm sorry, smokes Byron. Byron back four absolutely
[57:35] destroys Spurs back 4, but we let you were the main advocate
[57:38] for saying Aston Villa is better than Byron back 4.
[57:41] That's what I'm saying, Quality, but but if Byron could beat
[57:46] Spurs. If Byron could beat Spurs.
[57:48] Aston Villa beat Byron. Exactly, exactly.
[57:52] That's what I'm saying. So then why?
[57:53] What's the reasoning that Aston Villa could?
[57:55] Be I'm saying Aston Villa, they win, they're gonna get smoked in
[57:57] the next round, this is. What lost you?
[57:58] No, No. If bought.
[57:59] Listen. Aston Villa beat Bayern.
[58:01] Yes. If Bayern could beat Spurs then
[58:03] what's the reason? I forget.
[58:04] What Bayern beat Aston, Bayern didn't beat.
[58:06] Spurs sorry. Oh my God bro.
[58:10] They don't play each other in different leagues really.
[58:12] Yeah, I know, I know, I know. OK.
[58:14] Anyway, that's true. The the the listeners
[58:17] understand. I don't think they do.
[58:20] This is a. This is a good.
[58:21] Matchup. It's like when Kaliati beat
[58:23] like. It's like when you say like, oh,
[58:24] it's Kaliati. You got to really dumb it down.
[58:27] Yeah, It's like when Katanzaro played the the context because
[58:31] you're. Saying.
[58:31] So say it again, Do Bayern have a better defense than Spurs?
[58:37] In what player quality? Anything at whatever metric.
[58:39] You want to pick if I have to pick one to go.
[58:41] Through by your by your byer. Munich, Dan.
[58:45] Spurs, Yes. Alfonzo, Davies, Guerrero.
[58:49] And say so. I don't know.
[58:50] Oh, brother. We're just lying straight to the
[58:52] camera. Go.
[58:52] Player once again I'm missing off player quality.
[58:55] I think player quality Spurs has an insane so.
[58:57] You are our insta SAC ang because how do you keep 9 cleans
[59:01] and 49 games? On this team going towards that,
[59:03] yeah, oh boy. Whatever, Aston Villa moves on
[59:07] because I can't understand this first, I might have they.
[59:11] Both lose next round. Yeah, I don't care.
[59:13] Next round, whatever matter, this is an interesting match up.
[59:16] Manchester City against Barcelona.
[59:19] Yeah, Yeah. Now.
[59:21] Player quality City wins Barcelona.
[59:24] You think player quality wins? He wins, yes.
[59:26] Yes bro it's not even close to be honest.
[59:27] Player quality. I think it's kind of close.
[59:29] I'm saying Manchester City, but because I'm putting more
[59:32] emphasis on the players and not the effectiveness of the system,
[59:36] because Barcelona's system is clearly proving to work better
[59:39] than Manchester City's, but he'll willfully be able to keep
[59:42] this back line gimmick for the whole season I don't think.
[59:45] So I don't know, but right now I think Barsa's suffering from a
[59:49] relatively unknown back line with newer players that are kind
[59:53] of getting into the mainstream right now.
[59:55] Man City have players that have been in the rotation, been in
[59:57] the squad for years on that team.
[1:00:00] So they're more established, people recognize their names
[1:00:02] more, they're they're seen as more solid because Barcelona are
[1:00:06] bringing in these newer guys. Pauco varsity, 17 years old.
[1:00:09] Not many teams would trust a 17 year old to man their back line.
[1:00:12] True, especially in a highline. Especially in a very crazy
[1:00:15] highline. Which takes like mega
[1:00:17] experience. I think, I think that's also
[1:00:19] credit to Hansi Flick because. All the credit is Hansi Flick
[1:00:22] because he's he's turning, he's turning a back line which if you
[1:00:25] told me is 11th and LA League, I believe you turning it into.
[1:00:28] No, no, no, let's two years ago they had the best defensive
[1:00:31] record in La Liga history. Let's not act like under Chavi,
[1:00:33] under yes, under Chavi they allowed like with 13 goals on
[1:00:37] the whole. Season.
[1:00:37] Yeah, that was kind of crazy, Martinez.
[1:00:39] I think Martinez actually was playing a decent amount that
[1:00:41] season if he I I think. That's misinformation, I
[1:00:43] believe. No, I don't think so.
[1:00:44] But the main the main duo work was Christensen, and he did play
[1:00:48] a lot a hole. That's yes and.
[1:00:50] Christensen's not even going to be part of the plans,
[1:00:52] apparently. I saw in the Yeah, awesome.
[1:00:54] Updates I think Martinez was at Athletic Club two seasons ago.
[1:00:57] Yeah, OK. So.
[1:00:57] Yeah, but I. The.
[1:01:00] Nobody was Christian sin and Narajo.
[1:01:01] Sin and. Arajo, well, that's
[1:01:03] substantially better. That's substantially more proven
[1:01:05] and better center back duo than Kubarsi.
[1:01:08] Two years ago, this Barcelona defense was an all time best
[1:01:11] defense. Oh listen, Kunde.
[1:01:12] Kunde better than Rico Lewis? That's about it.
[1:01:17] Though Vardiol better than Balde.
[1:01:20] Balde is very good. Center backs you got to give to
[1:01:22] Man City. I'm not even going to cap
[1:01:23] though. Kubarsi better than Akanji.
[1:01:26] There's a conversation. Yes bro.
[1:01:28] Akanji is way too much of A Rolls Royce but.
[1:01:31] He's good, he's good. Kubarsi was 28.
[1:01:34] You would not be saying that. Akanji starts at most, but the.
[1:01:36] Fact that he's 17 is. But why does it affect that
[1:01:38] doesn't player ability that doesn't change I.
[1:01:41] Think I think Kubarsi is a better passer.
[1:01:43] I think he's better with the ball.
[1:01:44] Defensively, they could match up.
[1:01:46] Akanji's good, what do you know? A kanji that they don't match
[1:01:50] up. Bro if you if you took a striker
[1:01:54] and you showed them kubarsi and you showed them a kanji, they
[1:01:57] would just much rather physically play kubarsi and
[1:01:59] bape. Who do you prefer?
[1:02:00] Oh kubarsi? I like kanji.
[1:02:03] OK, but when he will, he will probably say that Kubarsi is
[1:02:05] more difficult to play against because Kubarsi locked him up.
[1:02:08] Kubarsi didn't lock him up. It was the IT was the defensive
[1:02:10] unit, no. Kubarsi didn't lock him up.
[1:02:14] No, but it wasn't Kubarsi didn't lock him up.
[1:02:16] It was the offside trap that locked him up.
[1:02:18] Yeah. That's all that locked any of
[1:02:19] them, even even buyer. That takes unity, that takes 4
[1:02:22] four players to understand all their positions and where they
[1:02:25] are at a certain point. Yeah, so we'll get patched, but
[1:02:28] the reason why I'm not, I didn't say city in .5 seconds is
[1:02:30] because the system's working. It is worth.
[1:02:33] And city isn't like we, we have a little bit of a dip in form
[1:02:36] which. City isn't in the Premier League
[1:02:40] if Barcelona was in the Premier League playing this highlight.
[1:02:42] If you have to bet on a team to get a clean sheet next week,
[1:02:44] which one are you taking? Low key Barcelona.
[1:02:47] Depends who they're. Playing, I'd actually not be
[1:02:48] sure. They're both playing the same
[1:02:50] team, OK? They're both playing Brentford,
[1:02:51] Yeah. Which one would you think?
[1:02:53] They're both not getting clean sheets.
[1:02:57] I, I don't know, I would actually Loki, say Barcelona.
[1:03:01] Yeah, I'm going to say Barcelona too.
[1:03:03] I took. The six game.
[1:03:04] Bar the problem in Man City is that they have like 3 defenders
[1:03:07] and they're all three going up for some reason.
[1:03:09] Except like maybe. Your your logic is not
[1:03:10] consistent because you bring up player quality.
[1:03:12] I am I am being a little bit hypocritical.
[1:03:14] And then once you say as a unit it's you can.
[1:03:17] No, I don't know what the needs. No, I agree I'm being
[1:03:20] hypocritical there, but I do think Barcelona actually has two
[1:03:23] players that are better than Man City.
[1:03:25] 'S who's the second one? Kubatsi Kubatsi is not better
[1:03:28] than than I. Believe that.
[1:03:30] So if you want to believe something else, that's up to
[1:03:32] you, but to me? It's got free will.
[1:03:34] Very half, half. We got free will over here.
[1:03:36] Just for that I'm saying city because it's my, I mean, it's
[1:03:40] what I feel. I I really like.
[1:03:42] Like going into next weekend, I'd rather have Manchester
[1:03:44] City's backline. That's yes, that's just that was
[1:03:46] came off the top. That so Watkins plus.
[1:03:49] Guardio you give, you give. Any manager you give you give.
[1:03:52] You have to be randomly assigned the manager.
[1:03:55] Which back four would you rather?
[1:03:59] It's half, half took. Migo Martinez.
[1:04:03] With any manager they have. Inigo Martinez is the Spanish
[1:04:05] Johnny Evans. He's the La Liga Johnny Evans.
[1:04:07] He's actually been pretty good. Johnny Evans has been pretty.
[1:04:10] Good. My God.
[1:04:10] Johnny Evans. He's the La Liga Johnny Evans.
[1:04:13] Johnny Evans is responsible for like Manchester get someone else
[1:04:16] dropping a lot of points. Yes, lot of times.
[1:04:18] Really. Don't.
[1:04:19] Johnny Evans has actually been good.
[1:04:21] I really. I really don't understand.
[1:04:23] Where this Johnny Evans hate this coming from.
[1:04:25] He's the Ashley. Young.
[1:04:26] I would say he's like the Ashley Young DeVry.
[1:04:29] DeVry is a bum. Yeah.
[1:04:30] DeVry 4. He's not even starting for
[1:04:31] Inter. I'm telling actually they're
[1:04:33] actually young, cause actually those.
[1:04:35] Manageable. Chedbey's a bum.
[1:04:36] We literally just said this. Oh my.
[1:04:38] God locked up Allen. OK.
[1:04:39] In the back three and the back three I'm picking.
[1:04:41] Barcelona nowadays everyone doesn't matter for Kuba.
[1:04:43] Like Kubar? City or Barcelona?
[1:04:46] I said. City, City.
[1:04:47] I I'm I really like Barsa, but I'll say city for now.
[1:04:50] Even though they're in a bad patch of form, they really
[1:04:52] don't. Do Barca fans go speak to a
[1:04:53] tree? I don't care.
[1:04:55] Next one up, Liverpool versus Inter.
[1:04:57] This one's tough. We're facing up against the best
[1:05:00] team in the world. No, no, I'm saying it tough as
[1:05:01] an Internet, OK, because we're facing up against the best team
[1:05:04] in the world with the best defensive record.
[1:05:06] It's actually though I don't know about the Fact Check on.
[1:05:08] That honestly, if you gave me just Trent and Van Dyke, I think
[1:05:12] Crazy. Yeah.
[1:05:13] If you gave me Trent and Van Dyke, I think I would just pick
[1:05:15] that over your back. OK, you could.
[1:05:17] You don't. Like, I'd rather, you know, like
[1:05:18] this. I was gonna.
[1:05:19] Agree with you anyways. Like, you know, like.
[1:05:21] This, you know, like the Spurs defending with the just two at
[1:05:23] the back. Like I'd I'd actually.
[1:05:25] I'd rather just have. Van Dyke and Trench is there.
[1:05:27] I'd rather that over enters fullback.
[1:05:29] I see. It's fine, I understand, I get
[1:05:32] the reason. I get the any rebuttals over
[1:05:35] here rage. Faded rage.
[1:05:36] Faded rage. Faded.
[1:05:37] No, no, I really like Enter. Versus city.
[1:05:41] Local, we beat them. Versus Barsa, we beat them.
[1:05:44] Play quality? No, I'm not joking.
[1:05:47] I'm really not joking. You're telling me citys current
[1:05:49] backline right now Could be? Bardio DeMarco, the only one
[1:05:53] that starts. Sony, the only one Stoney wins.
[1:05:56] Champion comparison. I tried to be Loki.
[1:05:58] What? Champion Loki wins.
[1:06:01] Over a kanji or stones. Yeah, but Stones is injured.
[1:06:06] OK, so so. It really doesn't matter, but
[1:06:08] for me I I people completely underestimated Chedbury because
[1:06:12] of his age. He should.
[1:06:13] He's really not. He's a back five merchant.
[1:06:15] Let's keep it. Million million a back four
[1:06:16] you'd be Pavard way better etcetera.
[1:06:18] Hypothetical you could put I'd rather you put Dumfries out
[1:06:20] right back and Pavard right center back.
[1:06:21] That's so much. Regardless, it really does not
[1:06:24] matter to me. I think Pavard is good at right
[1:06:26] back as well. It anyways Liverpool going
[1:06:29] through anyway. I'm not really, I'm just talking
[1:06:31] to walls right now, but. It sucks that enter this season
[1:06:33] had a little bit of a dip, like defensively, yeah.
[1:06:35] I think defensively we had a lot of holes, but I think that's
[1:06:38] mainly due to to like a lot of games and a lot of rotation.
[1:06:42] We have never changed the our back line this many times last
[1:06:46] year, even our not last year, but the year before, like our CL
[1:06:49] run, we kept the same starting 11 for 15.
[1:06:52] That's why war whatever because it was consistency.
[1:06:54] Everyone knew who was playing and that was just it.
[1:06:57] But now it's like you're switching left wing backs B SEC
[1:07:00] is going in there Vard's playing somewhere else Darmian with
[1:07:03] Dumfries DeVry playing instead of a ched B.
[1:07:06] So it's. Man City rotates a lot too, so.
[1:07:10] But Man City are also like the strongest team in the world,
[1:07:13] let's say player wise. Millie Enter Enter full health
[1:07:18] Enter full health defense under Inzagi versus Juventus Thiago
[1:07:21] Mota full health defense. Enter What the fuck?
[1:07:25] No, fuck no. We.
[1:07:26] We. What?
[1:07:27] Bro our system. Is clearly better bro.
[1:07:30] The philosopher. Your philosopher.
[1:07:32] Your system better. But you know how many goals we
[1:07:34] can see that aside from the four, four games, we.
[1:07:35] Know how many games we want since the UVA game?
[1:07:37] How many? Out of eight, we won six and
[1:07:40] tied two. We have not lost the game since
[1:07:42] the UK and we drew that game OK. You know many.
[1:07:45] Goal you know many goals you may concede aside from the game
[1:07:47] versus enter how many which we tied 3 We've conceded seven
[1:07:50] goals this whole season and that's with that's with an apple
[1:07:53] injured injured team less goals allowed.
[1:07:55] No, they don't. I really I really.
[1:07:56] Propagating misinformation. Sure.
[1:07:59] Defensively, Tiago Mata, we've we've been on this way that
[1:08:01] Tiago Mata is a good defensive manager.
[1:08:03] Insane defensive manager. You said he's an attacking
[1:08:06] manager, by the way, at the beginning of the season.
[1:08:08] But but I'm saying right now Inter are on a very like this is
[1:08:12] the consistent run of form that I was looking for at the
[1:08:14] beginning of the season. Defensively, we are still one of
[1:08:17] the best. I'm not saying we are the best.
[1:08:19] I'm not propping ourselves up as the best defensive team in the.
[1:08:22] World, How much did Milan beat? It was only it was only one goal
[1:08:24] difference. Yeah, no, but.
[1:08:25] It wasn't, yeah, but that's also like a bad patch of form.
[1:08:28] As well. Inter Lost.
[1:08:30] Anyway. Sucks to suck.
[1:08:31] Clinters are obviously worse than you.
[1:08:33] We beat Yeah, Man United, but whatever.
[1:08:36] Sucks to suck. Just wait a couple months, we'll
[1:08:37] be revisiting. This wait on suck to suck.
[1:08:39] I'm sure. So the last quarter final match
[1:08:41] up is Arsenal against Real Madrid.
[1:08:45] How much need to talk about this one, Yeah.
[1:08:46] What'd you say? Honestly, this is kind of
[1:08:48] disrespectful if we no talk about this for longer.
[1:08:51] This. Is I actually can't believe best
[1:08:53] defensive teams that might actually end up being all
[1:08:55] Premier League teams that. Real Madrid.
[1:09:01] But who is it Real Madrid versus?
[1:09:02] It's Real Madrid against Arsenal.
[1:09:04] I know my pick. Arsenal, yeah.
[1:09:06] OK. Yes, OK.
[1:09:07] That's also the way the bracket just lined up.
[1:09:09] It's just the way the bracket was just lined up because
[1:09:11] Barcelona beat Spurs and. Fella and also timing like Real
[1:09:14] Madrid injuries. So this turned into a Premier
[1:09:17] League special I think this episode.
[1:09:19] Damn this surprise. Really special back with you
[1:09:21] have been you have been baited into click you have been baited
[1:09:25] into just listening to a Premier League podcast I'm.
[1:09:27] Actually going to go back and put by.
[1:09:28] And Sweeting Marsa and Inter. Then there's a car.
[1:09:31] So put Athletic over Arsenal. Literally.
[1:09:32] Inter beat Spurs or Aston Villa, by the way.
[1:09:34] BTW anyway so Arsenal go through, it's unfortunate that
[1:09:37] Real is in a situation there but in a couple months this could
[1:09:40] just this could change because if Alaba comes back.
[1:09:42] Full strength, real major go through.
[1:09:44] Not a not a problem. I don't know bro.
[1:09:45] Harva how Not a problem. What if you take?
[1:09:47] Holland. They literally won the Champions
[1:09:48] League. What do you think?
[1:09:50] How in the equation? Literally won Champions League
[1:09:52] but. Bro Carvajal but Mehndi and then
[1:09:54] Rudiger Militao looking good. I got him.
[1:09:58] What is it? I got him.
[1:10:00] Let's. Yeah, this is, this is Arsenal,
[1:10:02] I mean. It's not it's not your moment
[1:10:04] right now, but honestly a semi final appearance not too shabby.
[1:10:07] So now semi finals Liverpool against City.
[1:10:10] Arsenal cake while this is like a Inter CL run.
[1:10:14] Oh, he's a he said it, he said it and it's regardless, it's.
[1:10:16] A glorified FA Cup run. Aston Villa have a glorified FA
[1:10:19] Cup run. Crazy work.
[1:10:20] Aston Villa has to play. Kind of Byron Spurs now.
[1:10:24] Arsenal. That's a Dorman CL run.
[1:10:26] League. Anyway, so Liverpool City, we
[1:10:29] spoke about these teams enough. I'm pretty sure we know the back
[1:10:31] lines at this point. Yeah, my vote's going with my,
[1:10:34] my vote's going with Liverpool. The system's better, the players
[1:10:37] quality is better. I I don't see Liverpool losing.
[1:10:40] The form it's too good right now for Liverpool where even even
[1:10:43] just player quality you're looking at 3 three out of the
[1:10:47] four of the back four are considered like all time rates
[1:10:49] in the premier the. Problem is, they're missing a
[1:10:51] left back well. Robertson.
[1:10:52] Robertson is still like, he's not that 8 out of 10 that he
[1:10:55] used to be every single week, but he's still he's not dropping
[1:10:58] disaster. Class he's he's not dropping
[1:11:00] solid right now. Yeah, my opinion.
[1:11:01] And even worse by his backup Timmy cast is not the worst.
[1:11:04] Timmy cast is ain't that good. Really.
[1:11:05] Yeah, but he starts at UV. He doesn't.
[1:11:11] Guys, you still got in there bro?
[1:11:19] Who's my news left back? Maz Rally, they actually have a
[1:11:22] right back playing Maz. Rally bro Maz, Rally is sick.
[1:11:25] Loki. Man United versus Juventus Loki.
[1:11:30] Manual Loki I'm. Not even kidding.
[1:11:32] Loki player for player bro. Thiago Matas got him unlocked
[1:11:36] bro. Bro, I'm thinking Man United,
[1:11:37] I'm not gonna count. Not even close.
[1:11:39] Cabo Matas got Bros seven goals all season.
[1:11:42] He could disallow 7 all year, I don't care.
[1:11:44] Key low key beats Man United. Okay, this is Liverpool against
[1:11:49] Manchester City. I mean Manchester City haven't
[1:11:51] been the same team this season to be honest.
[1:11:55] Couple years back Manchester City looked like one of the all
[1:11:58] time great defensive guarantee. What happens when Manchester
[1:12:01] City comes back from this international break and just
[1:12:03] gets 6 clean sheets in a? Row we're going to Man United be
[1:12:06] St. on taking. Sheets in a row from Amarin
[1:12:08] back. What happens when Jesus comes
[1:12:10] down and presents themselves? Exactly.
[1:12:13] Then the other semi final, Arsenal, Aston Villa.
[1:12:15] I mean we can make this quick also.
[1:12:16] Let's just get to the final. People are waiting for this.
[1:12:18] Arsenal. Yeah, obviously Arsenal.
[1:12:20] Arsenal against Liverpool Arsenal against Liverpool Which
[1:12:24] team has the best defense in Europe?
[1:12:26] I. Don't know, I'm not going to cap
[1:12:28] this seems a lot closer on paper, but it's not really that
[1:12:30] close. No, it's pretty close bro.
[1:12:32] On paper it's close. You start, you start by so far,
[1:12:35] Effectiveness, effectiveness of the back lines.
[1:12:37] Liverpool, I'd say wins. They've proven that the back
[1:12:40] line is working better. The system is working better.
[1:12:42] The Ben White injury severely takes it down for me from
[1:12:46] Arsenal. Brother we got, we got timber.
[1:12:48] Then they got back, we got. Back Fury and what Ben White are
[1:12:52] two levels. There's two different levels
[1:12:53] there. The levels are the blur, the
[1:12:56] lines are becoming blurred. But anyway, this is tough.
[1:12:58] You hit the left back Cala Fury. Are we considering?
[1:13:01] We're considering Cala Fury healthy better than better than
[1:13:04] Robertson. I think that's purely
[1:13:06] assumptions based on you're assuming Calafury's play this
[1:13:09] season. I think it's pretty equal, no.
[1:13:11] Yes, Calafury has not been. Wow, what a left back signing
[1:13:16] for Arsenal. He hasn't been in my opinion he
[1:13:18] is. OK then yeah, I don't know.
[1:13:20] You haven't been watching the games, I guess, but I.
[1:13:21] Guess not bro. I guess I've been.
[1:13:23] I have the paint. I think, I think Calafiore is
[1:13:25] not revolutionary, but he's obviously been very, very good.
[1:13:29] What has Calafiore done? What has he done?
[1:13:31] Forget scoring a game winner, forget that or whatever that
[1:13:34] was, but just on the ball exactly I'm saying that's I'm
[1:13:39] saying forget A1 off thing that maybe just so he took a one
[1:13:41] touch shot from outside the box and curled it in with a banger.
[1:13:44] Absolutely great goal of the season.
[1:13:45] But aside from that, he's still defensively solid.
[1:13:48] Wasn't. That against City they didn't
[1:13:49] end up winning the game. The you're talking about the
[1:13:51] outside the foot, the the outside the box.
[1:13:54] Yeah, that was that was against Manchester City.
[1:13:56] They didn't end up winning that game.
[1:13:57] Even better versus Manchester City.
[1:13:58] Oh, it's a record game. Record game, yeah.
[1:14:00] Defensively solid on the ball, a way better passer than Robertson
[1:14:04] in my opinion. Sure, but then you take into
[1:14:06] account athletics and Robertson smokes him because he runs it
[1:14:09] runs up the pitch 90 minutes. Everything Calafury supporting
[1:14:12] the attack. You don't see Calafury running
[1:14:14] up the field. No, there's you don't see levels
[1:14:16] to the game that Robertson is an is a literally.
[1:14:19] Robertson This gimmick of Robertson being an overlap
[1:14:21] fullback is just like I. Think you guys you guys are
[1:14:24] focusing too much on the left back.
[1:14:26] Yeah, I mean, left back is not the disaster.
[1:14:29] What do you think Robertson is? All time great Premier League
[1:14:32] left back. Right now in 20, who the fuck
[1:14:34] do? You think Calafuri is the guy
[1:14:36] who played one season at Bologna and not a good Euro?
[1:14:38] It's 2024. And Robertson's still a solid
[1:14:41] Premier League player. He's just like Calafuri, He's
[1:14:43] solid. Calafuri better tomorrow,
[1:14:44] whatever. Then.
[1:14:47] You go konate Van Dyke and Saliba Gabriel bro.
[1:14:50] It just depends on which way you match them because Saliba.
[1:14:52] Beans Dyke's the best on the list.
[1:14:54] Van Dyke's the best on the list, then it's Saliba Gabriel, then
[1:14:56] Konate in my opinion. OK then right back Trent
[1:15:00] destroys. I need Arsenal, right?
[1:15:02] Back like the gap, the gap between, let's say, let's say
[1:15:06] Gabrielle beats Konate, Gabrielle beats Konate, that
[1:15:09] gap. It's compensated by Trent.
[1:15:11] That that is yeah, yeah, that gap is is outshined by the level
[1:15:18] of Trent is outshine by the level of Van Dyke.
[1:15:21] The the quality, just average quality if you had to average
[1:15:24] everything and Liverpool is still is the stronger side.
[1:15:29] Arsenal very, very good backline I would say #2 I know that's why
[1:15:33] they're in the. Shout out to all the FBI owners
[1:15:35] out there. They know Liverpool defenders
[1:15:38] are where it's at. You can't cap.
[1:15:40] Liverpool defenders are where the guaranteed stats are coming
[1:15:44] from. That is very true, but Arsenal
[1:15:47] has a run of easy fixtures coming up so I think discussions
[1:15:50] will change. This is the same backline aside
[1:15:52] from Calafiore as last season and as a season prior which
[1:15:56] Arteta proved that this is a serious backline.
[1:15:58] Yeah, but you have new manager like Arne Slot coming in.
[1:16:00] He's really, I think he's been the the guy changing this
[1:16:03] defense completely. Made them solid.
[1:16:05] I want to make a vault. I want to say Arsenal of the
[1:16:08] lowest goals conceded last season in the season prior to
[1:16:10] that, but. Yeah, I'll check.
[1:16:11] We gotta look at it right now, 'cause I think it's, it's out of
[1:16:14] context if you look at last. Season, I think Arsenal.
[1:16:16] Liverpool's a new boss. Yeah, Arsenal.
[1:16:18] Conceded 29 goals last season. That's insane over a full
[1:16:22] Premier League season. But it is now.
[1:16:24] And that's why I'm gonna put my vote for Liverpool unbiasedly.
[1:16:27] I do think. Liverpool is my winner too.
[1:16:29] Liverpool easy win 100. Percent the clear option here.
[1:16:32] Player quality and they're clicking more.
[1:16:34] Before we even start recording. And my vote for Liverpool
[1:16:36] winning because biased I'm they literally like the there's two
[1:16:40] spectrums. There's literally Liverpool fan
[1:16:43] and then what I am, it's like the complete opposite.
[1:16:46] Well, this this gimmick that you you're supposed to hate liver,
[1:16:49] bro. You don't hate Liverpool.
[1:16:51] I don't mind Liverpool. You Oh, every time we talk about
[1:16:53] Liverpool, you speak with a clear mind.
[1:16:55] Yes, because you I'm not blinded by hatred.
[1:16:58] I supposed to be? No, I'm not supposed to be.
[1:17:01] Brother, you, you, you hate, you hate Chelsea.
[1:17:04] Of course you hate Chelsea. They're top of the league by
[1:17:07] like almost 10 points or something.
[1:17:09] As a United fan, as United fan, it would make sense for you to
[1:17:11] despise Liverpool more than someone like Chelsea.
[1:17:15] Yeah, but they've shown me no reason to despise them.
[1:17:18] Like he could say Liver, Chelsea shit.
[1:17:20] Yeah, Chelsea are shit. Because they don't have
[1:17:23] Alzheimer's on their team you need.
[1:17:24] All fan bases like there's just, there's like, it's like Napoli
[1:17:27] and you've not Napoli fans. This spies Juventus fans.
[1:17:31] Yeah. But I think for in this
[1:17:33] circumstance, like in this scenario, it's like you kind of
[1:17:36] have to admit, OK, yeah, they are the best, bro.
[1:17:38] Like it's not a you can't argue. I brother, I fought my fight.
[1:17:41] I fought my fight with Trent Alexander Arnold, calling him
[1:17:43] over. Brother, my hands up.
[1:17:46] I was wrong, bro. You got me, bro.
[1:17:48] You got me. I was there.
[1:17:49] I like Van Dyke. I fought my fight, bro, you got
[1:17:52] me. You were fighting that.
[1:17:54] I I was. Talking about the clip bro, you
[1:17:55] saying a Van Dyke off a Cliff? Yes.
[1:17:57] No, I won't. Clop you don't remember the
[1:17:58] TikTok? Oh bro bro this guy every week.
[1:18:01] Every week yo clop running back. Bro I put John Terry better than
[1:18:05] Van Dyke I'm pretty sure in a TikTok in rank.
[1:18:07] That ain't crazy. Talk ideas guys, What do you
[1:18:11] speak about today? Are we looking over?
[1:18:13] Let's club. How's the How's club looking
[1:18:15] these days? Let's club doing after they
[1:18:16] leave. What's club doing right now?
[1:18:18] Yeah, that was us all. Last, do we sack club video?
[1:18:21] All right, running back. And at least six of those.
[1:18:24] What we did last week, things change, brother.
[1:18:26] And they lost again. Hit record, but yeah, there we
[1:18:30] go. Our final, Our winner of this
[1:18:33] bracket is Liverpool. So just to go over, our
[1:18:36] semifinal was Liverpool versus Manchester City, in which
[1:18:39] Liverpool won, and then on the other side, it was Arsenal
[1:18:42] versus Villa, in which Arsenal won the rest of the bracket.
[1:18:45] Pretty straightforward. I think this is a scenario where
[1:18:48] you put anyone up against Liverpool in that final,
[1:18:52] Liverpool was gonna come out on top.
[1:18:53] They are ultimately the strongest defense on this list
[1:18:56] in in in the world it. Will Health would have been a
[1:18:58] clearest thing. Yeah, it will.
[1:18:59] Health would have been a conversation.
[1:19:00] 'Cause then you're by rajo and then for rail you have.
[1:19:03] This woman by City City would have been there.
[1:19:05] Liverpool smoke everyone, even full health.
[1:19:07] I don't care. Like right now, technically,
[1:19:09] they're so clear of any defense right now in world football.
[1:19:12] My. Person say a little Van Dyke
[1:19:14] injury. Are they a product of their
[1:19:16] circumstance? Now there's a converse.
[1:19:18] No, but you're saying take injuries into account but say
[1:19:21] they get an injury? Bro Bastoni injury enters not
[1:19:24] even on this board. I could possibly agree with you.
[1:19:26] Enter. OK, I agree with you too.
[1:19:28] I could possibly. I agree with you too.
[1:19:30] So. OK, Carlos Augusto left, center
[1:19:33] back. I'm just.
[1:19:33] Putting the hypothetical out. There Augusto no, that would be
[1:19:36] Palacios left center back. No, no, we're shipping him in
[1:19:39] January. Palacios is why on loan.
[1:19:41] On loan. Thomas Palacios.
[1:19:42] Thomas Palacios. Argentine Ezekiel.
[1:19:45] No, Oh no. That's the Leverkusing guy.
[1:19:46] Center mid. That's Leverkus.
[1:19:48] What is it, Thomas? Thomas Thomas Palacios.
[1:19:51] Cool. He was.
[1:19:51] He was an Argentine aside. From Racing Clue.
[1:19:54] Racing clue, just like Lataro. But yeah, anyways.
[1:20:00] Hopefully you guys enjoyed this bracket series I mean.
[1:20:02] We love this series. I mean, enjoy it.
[1:20:03] There's there's nothing left. If you got well, no, if you guys
[1:20:06] have any ideas for what we could do for a bracket potentially in
[1:20:08] the future, because during international break, I mean the
[1:20:10] news cycle's so dead back those if we gotta you gotta fit in,
[1:20:14] you gotta fit in some some podcasts and we love speaking
[1:20:17] about it's. Refreshing.
[1:20:18] This is refreshing 'cause it's, you know what I was talking
[1:20:20] about the current events. Yeah, this is like, take a step
[1:20:22] back and let's see hypothetical hypotheticals.
[1:20:24] Yeah, we've done 4 words that. We're good at so if you.
[1:20:26] If this is your first time seeing one of the series, we've
[1:20:29] done front threes, we've done midfielders and this was the
[1:20:31] last of the bunch. We ain't doing goalies so don't
[1:20:33] recommend. Unless you say it.
[1:20:35] Unless. Vicario versus summer.
[1:20:37] There's a conversation. There's a conversation to be
[1:20:39] having. But yeah, we're.
[1:20:40] Quality over there. Actually after that Italy game,
[1:20:43] No, I speak not as well. Vicario.
[1:20:45] I told you guys, this guy tried picking Vicario over Onana in a
[1:20:49] In a who? Who me?
[1:20:53] What are you 2 picked Vicario over?
[1:20:55] Onani combined the words from me too insanely that that but.
[1:21:02] You're being it's free kick. Are you really I?
[1:21:05] Give a shit. You think when I get a football
[1:21:08] notification? You think I give a shit when I
[1:21:11] get a Big Mom notification saying Julie Guilliamo Vicario?
[1:21:16] I don't give a fuck, right? When I get Guilliamo Vicario
[1:21:20] Guilliamo goal Guilliamo. Guilliamo, Yeah.
[1:21:23] But do I give a shit, bro? That's the guy of the, the, the
[1:21:28] the the sidekick of Jimmy Fallon.
[1:21:31] Guillermo, Guillermo. Guillermo Vicario.
[1:21:35] You slander name just. Dropped.
[1:21:36] Yeah, yeah, yuck. But anyway, that was the that
[1:21:39] was the episode. Jimmy.
[1:21:41] Very action singer. He is the sidekick.
