## Transcript

[0:00] Welcome back to the Box to Box Podcast.
[0:02] This is episode 35, and today we're going to be covering the
[0:04] biggest matchups of the past weekend.
[0:06] And we have a massive week in Champions League, a bunch of
[0:08] good games. We're super excited.
[0:10] All that and more on the Box to Box podcast.
[0:12] Let's Go. You ain't going home your.
[0:14] Honor, I'm sorry, your honor, I'm sorry if we don't compete
[0:21] with city. This is a failure of a season, I
[0:23] can already tell. You I'll tell you in advance you
[0:25] failed. I'm going to take central
[0:27] midfielder Federico Valverde. What?
[0:32] Yeah, no that. He is the worst midfielder for
[0:35] Real Madrid this season. That's like saying.
[0:38] Neymar was the worst player in MSN.
[0:45] So boys, how was your week? What did you do today?
[0:49] The week was not that good. I mean, if you look at the
[0:51] results, was not, was not the best week to be a Manchester
[0:53] United fan, but we, we, and you might be wondering right now,
[0:57] you're probably listening, why did the podcast come out on
[1:00] Tuesday morning? They would be listening to this.
[1:03] Well, we were recording something special on Sunday.
[1:05] So stay tuned for that. So we didn't really have time to
[1:08] record the podcast, but you'll see.
[1:10] You'll see what we got coming. Up it was for a good reason,
[1:12] yeah, let's just say that because we we're putting a lot
[1:14] of effort into our YouTube and the the production quality will
[1:19] be going up very shortly. Yeah, it's a.
[1:21] It was a it took us about a month or two to really get it
[1:26] going and planning and everything, but I think you guys
[1:29] are going to be pleasantly surprised.
[1:31] It it opens up the avenue to many more different type of
[1:33] videos. You know what I mean?
[1:34] Like more general let's we, we. Don't want to give them too
[1:37] much. We don't want to give them too
[1:38] much because this is something we want to make sure it it
[1:41] simmers a little bit and then we're gonna we're gonna roll it
[1:44] out nice for everyone, so. But obviously, footballing wise,
[1:47] Man United lost, Milan lost, enter.
[1:49] What did they do? This was the this was a good
[1:51] weekend, bro. Yeah, I slept.
[1:52] With something, I mean latar stinker.
[1:54] So we left her with. As per usual.
[1:55] Actually, I'm going to. I mean, we're not going to get
[1:57] into the game or anything right now.
[1:58] I don't think people are listening to hear about my
[2:00] interaction right off the bat. But I mean, firms, you want to
[2:02] just lay it on them. I mean, it was a good week for
[2:04] me in FPL, but for you? This brother, every time I have
[2:09] a bad week this guy brings it up.
[2:11] I mean, going into today's match, he has Bowen, so he kind
[2:14] of did play. Well, in Cunha but 7.
[2:18] Points going into the Wolves in West Ham match.
[2:21] Listen, we all have bad weeks, right?
[2:24] No, but 7 is not a bad week. Single digits firms I know
[2:27] listen, you're the brother that comes in you you show me your
[2:30] FPL team have a. Lot of Liverpool players, they
[2:32] didn't play over the weekend, I have. 2 So there's that's not an
[2:34] excuse. Brother, you were pulling up a
[2:36] 40 point weeks, 50 point I. Still am.
[2:38] This is my only week. That's just.
[2:40] An off week? A lie?
[2:40] Yes, a lie. It's an off week.
[2:41] This. Brother loves to pinpoint the
[2:43] weeks that I do bad and by the way it's.
[2:44] Been two. We're tight for first place now
[2:46] so after all that shit talking. We're tied, but I have most
[2:49] points. Yeah, but you're shit talking.
[2:51] That's not shit talking. This is the brother brings it up
[2:52] very podcast. Because bro, the champ has been
[2:55] slipping, slipping. Let's just say it.
[2:57] Let's just lay it out. There's like everyone here,
[2:59] there's like Arsenal being top of the table for like 270 days.
[3:02] So you're saying that he's Man City?
[3:04] Yeah. For sure, I didn't see nothing
[3:06] like that I I'm just making a compare.
[3:07] Too many good players, Bruno, Odegard, Trent, Solanki, Onana
[3:11] bro these are all top tier. I have you will be.
[3:14] A lot of like. A top 10 appeal player this
[3:16] season I picked him up for. Free.
[3:17] My God, I'm just waiting to listen.
[3:20] Like West Ham, for example, they haven't had a good season.
[3:23] So Bowen has not been at the level that I'm supposed to
[3:26] believe he's at. You know what?
[3:27] He's been decent. He's been good.
[3:28] They just beat Wolves so I'm assuming that Lobotegi won't be
[3:31] getting sacked so they will still be shit.
[3:33] So you have to take that into account for Bowen Watkins.
[3:35] That's why no one wants as well. I have guardio KDB, what'd you?
[3:40] Say nothing. They have nothing to worry
[3:41] about. That's why no one wants Bowen
[3:43] bro. Literally offered me a trade
[3:44] like a couple of hours ago by the way.
[3:46] What do you offer in that trade? Bro it won't be.
[3:49] Iwobi and Digne, which is not for.
[3:52] Udogi and Bowen. Doing a lot of self prop on this
[3:54] podcast then bro. Iwobi has more points than Bowen
[3:56] this season in FPL so. Yeah, but Bowen's a better
[3:59] player. Let's not kid ourselves.
[4:01] I don't care about better players, I'm not taking into
[4:04] that. And that's why you're that's why
[4:05] you're lead slipping bro. Because players who get FPL
[4:08] points like Iwobi where every game guarantee 90 minutes,
[4:11] Fulham get clean. Sheet acting like Bowen doesn't
[4:13] start. Yeah sure but W time get piped
[4:16] most games. But Bowen is a striker.
[4:17] Pipe down like your lips. That's oh brother, please,
[4:21] please keep a PG. Keep a PG.
[4:24] Just listeners like. We ain't, we ain't college
[4:26] students, bro. We ain't waiting in line like
[4:28] that, goodness gracious. Millie would be in line.
[4:32] Bro, I'm lying. But I would not be a lied, I
[4:34] promise. Bro the fuck are you because.
[4:36] I'm in a full relationship. Kid, I say, listen, I'm rocking
[4:41] the kid right now. Fucking it.
[4:42] There's a reason for that. Chelsea beat Spurs over the
[4:45] weekend 4/3 It was a Zuvie. Let me tell you a bit.
[4:48] Of a Zuvie, was it something you were expecting in this game?
[4:51] I think when we did our predictions, we did expect it to
[4:53] be somewhat high scoring, yes, but I don't think anyone was
[4:56] really expecting. There was the comeback. 43
[4:58] Shootout, Cole Palmer, 22 penalties.
[5:01] Pretty much like it was a show. Pen pal, we got to start
[5:05] calling. Pen Palmer.
[5:06] But still an amazing player. But.
[5:08] He's insane bro. Yeah, he is, but Anselm Resco
[5:11] may be cooking something I can't cap.
[5:13] Yes. Do we, do we move them up?
[5:15] Do we move them up in our in our manager tier list?
[5:17] By the way, we got ripped on that.
[5:19] We did. Yeah, we got ripped.
[5:21] Specifically, firms. Specifically, me and Paula.
[5:23] And Paula, yes. Which I don't know what I was
[5:25] saying that was so egregious, but.
[5:27] Bro you put you put Ange like B in terms of entertainment or
[5:30] some. Shit, no I A.
[5:32] Bro, he's SI really don't understand, but this is point
[5:35] proven. Yeah, I literally in this game
[5:37] that Angie's S tier in terms of entertainment.
[5:40] To me, it doesn't get more entertainment.
[5:41] Yeah, but to me, S tier is that you also have to win the games.
[5:44] Yeah. So like Real Madrid Ancelotti,
[5:46] that's S tier. What S Tier and his brother
[5:49] Ancelotti ball. They've given us the Champions,
[5:51] the final. Real Madrid fans in our discord
[5:53] are literally saying Ancelotti ball is so boring.
[5:55] But that's that's the now, like right now.
[5:57] Ancelotti ball has been boring. So are we ring?
[6:00] OK, so that's that's what you'd said.
[6:02] Marino's an STR manager right now?
[6:03] No. Why?
[6:04] What? Do you mean right now?
[6:06] Yeah, Mourinho, but Ancelotti is not an STR manager right now in
[6:10] terms of entertainment. Overall, he's an A manager this
[6:13] entertainment. Whatever S, whatever we that.
[6:15] Was not going on the YouTube. Manager Spurs and Chelsea 4/3 I
[6:19] mean give us a Zuvi. I can't.
[6:21] Captain Jayden Sancho. Lucky master class.
[6:24] Bro I don't want to say it but he did play well but once again
[6:27] I still stand on my agenda that Jayden Sancho will not be a good
[6:30] Prem player this season. I mean, yeah, you're just going
[6:33] against the green here. Boston, I'm.
[6:34] Not going against the green. Yes, you are, but.
[6:36] He's a Bundesliga player, he's not a Premier League player
[6:38] standing on that. Listen, if Enzo Mareska puts
[6:41] trust in you, that means you're a good player, because
[6:44] everybody. Giving Enzo Mareska that level
[6:46] amount of. Aura top two in the Prem
[6:47] brother. So what last year at this?
[6:49] Four points away from Liverpool. Game at hand.
[6:51] Andrew was first in the Prem last season at this point.
[6:53] At this point. That's a Fact Check if I've
[6:54] ever. That's a fact.
[6:55] No, we don't got a Fact Check. Unfortunately we don't got
[6:58] producer Tita Fact Check for us. Yeah, I know.
[7:01] Listen, I, I think Enzo Mariska's cooking and the fact
[7:03] that people like Jayden Sancho are able to come into the system
[7:05] and look lively again because obviously we've lost the Jayden
[7:09] Sancho that we've seen in the past.
[7:10] You know what I mean? I think he's cooking, bro.
[7:13] And there's a couple more players here, unless you want to
[7:16] go into it right away. I mean, it's up to you, but I
[7:19] think the biggest, biggest key here for Chelsea, if we're going
[7:22] to be honest here, Moses Kaiseido, brother, this guy,
[7:26] he's insane. There's questions now.
[7:28] Do you think Moses Caisero is the best midfielder in the
[7:31] Premier League? I can confidently say he's top
[7:37] three. He's all right.
[7:39] Let me he's the best midfielder in the Prem.
[7:42] If we're counting Oregaard as a as an attacking 1, then maybe,
[7:45] obviously. Better than Oregaard I can't
[7:47] even cap. He's more valuable, let's say.
[7:49] Yeah, I can't cap. Brother, you're saying that
[7:51] because we are the Arsenal fan ain't here to back that up.
[7:54] Bro Odegard's. Got free reign right now.
[7:56] We not just see Odegard's game against Fulham.
[7:58] I have an NFPL so trust me I was watching brother.
[8:00] Literally did nothing for 90 minutes.
[8:02] No. What he did?
[8:04] Nothing. He had a couple of good passes
[8:06] the through through the line passes that he does with his
[8:08] like left foot the. The bar is in hell For being the
[8:11] best midfielder in the Premier League, the bar is in hell.
[8:13] The it's. What he I thought he made what?
[8:15] He made a couple passes with his foot, bro.
[8:17] What? Like obviously he made the
[8:18] passes with his foot. What?
[8:19] He's gonna throw the ball to the other.
[8:20] Team, you know what I mean bro, You know what I mean?
[8:23] The difference here is that Moises Quisero is obviously not
[8:26] going to get the GA that maybe Ottergaard gets, but I think his
[8:29] contribution and defense for Chelsea has been insane this
[8:32] season. Without him, they would be
[8:34] conceding way more than they are right.
[8:36] Now are we, are we putting him in the same tier as Rodri?
[8:39] Roger's a little crazy, but Declan Rice is there.
[8:42] You have a Declan. Roger Declan, Declan Rice or
[8:45] Moise Caiceto, which one would you take?
[8:47] Right now, I think you still have to.
[8:49] I think you still have to take rice on this one.
[8:50] I don't, I don't, I don't see why you don't take him with the
[8:53] consistency he's shown over the blast, the season and a half,
[8:56] even in his W time days. Brother, you could go back.
[9:00] He's got the CV right now. I would go with him.
[9:03] To go back and see Caiseto CV at Brighton got them in a Europa
[9:06] League. We were speaking to a Chelsea
[9:08] fan recently and he said he would rather sell Cole Palmer
[9:12] than than Moises Caiseto. That's what he.
[9:14] Said, I find that's egregious. You got the face.
[9:18] Listen, Moises Caiseto, I think he's definitely up there as one
[9:21] of the best in the Premier League.
[9:23] But you have Cole Palmer, who's that he?
[9:26] He's in the conversation to be like top ten in the world on his
[9:29] day pretty much if you think about it.
[9:31] Better than any inter player that's.
[9:33] No problem bro, I don't really don't care.
[9:35] It's not really a comparison. What we're saying is that
[9:37] Chelsea now has a couple of world class players.
[9:40] Well, now that that project is starting to really come to
[9:42] fruition now, then you have Estevao.
[9:44] That's gonna come a little later into a nice system.
[9:46] Like Jamie Carragher said, this isn't no underdog story.
[9:49] They spent 1.2 billion. Like, it's not like it's not
[9:53] like it's some team that came from Oh my God, they're nothing
[9:55] too. Rags to riches, Lester.
[9:58] Yeah, exactly. But we did count them out at the
[10:00] beginning of the season. Nobody would think they would be
[10:02] sure. But the team is still spent 1.2
[10:04] billion on this. Is not like insanely good
[10:07] management that did this? But this is this is Enzo Mareska
[10:09] putting the the final pieces that like he's get.
[10:12] He had the puzzle pieces, he's putting it all together now.
[10:15] All these other managers, 2-3 managers it took to figure out
[10:18] whether or not these pieces fit. Enzo Mareska comes in and in 6-7
[10:21] months he's figuring out, OK, this is what works, this what
[10:24] doesn't. So I think this is the full,
[10:26] full credit to Enzo Maresco right now.
[10:29] And you, you cannot deny like a Jamie Carragher, I'm sure when
[10:33] he heard Enzo Maresco coming into Chelsea, he didn't think,
[10:35] oh, this is going to be a success right off the bat.
[10:37] The fact that, that, that they're second place right now
[10:39] in the Premier League just shows that Enzo Maresco is putting
[10:42] everything together in my opinion.
[10:43] I I think this has been a very, very successful.
[10:46] Season so far. So far I I wouldn't want to call
[10:48] it a success right now because the season's not over, but to
[10:52] this point, I think there are definitely exceeding.
[10:55] Expectations. Yeah.
[10:56] And also, like, I mean, spending a billion dollars on your team,
[10:59] I find it makes the challenge even more difficult.
[11:02] No more. Pressure in my opinion.
[11:04] You've seen like PSG fail with that.
[11:06] They have never won a Champions League, you know what I mean?
[11:08] So in the Prem you have all that pressure because you're spending
[11:12] that much money. You have all these up and coming
[11:14] players, Like I said though, Nico Jackson that you're relying
[11:16] on and yet you're still succeeding.
[11:19] So honestly, props to Mariska, he's been cooking.
[11:21] Yeah, but like he's been cooking.
[11:23] But once again, Kai Sado, not like they unearthed some gem.
[11:26] My brother was 100 million. OK, it was 100 million, so I
[11:29] think Chelsea fans will tell you that they did overspend on him.
[11:32] I honestly looking back now, but it's more like the Enzo
[11:35] Fernandez has been playing well the last month and a half.
[11:37] But once again, 100 million like like these players aren't Cole
[11:41] Palmer was the only one where yours and Nico Jackson was was
[11:43] like, OK, that's a very good deal.
[11:46] How much was the other ones bro Wesley for found as an $80
[11:48] million player he's not worth 80 million but that's for starting
[11:51] center back 80 million and Cuckoo was 60 million for 50
[11:54] million like and that's their backup striker like he has way
[11:58] more resources than 99% of managers have.
[12:04] I mean. I, I don't know, I find, I find
[12:06] the there's too much emphasis on price tags.
[12:09] Like you could have spent 100 million on any single player in
[12:11] the world. Doesn't mean that they're it's
[12:13] not indicative of their actual like ability.
[12:16] There's players that you you could tell the clear.
[12:18] And spend 100 million on let's say like a Bataru Endo, like
[12:23] like if Liverpool had 100 million, Wataru Endo would not
[12:25] be spending it on them. I.
[12:27] Agree, but that you can't fault, let's say in Enzo Maresca and
[12:31] say, well, you know, he's actually not doing that good
[12:33] because he he inherited a billion dollar team that like
[12:36] the players are actually playing how they're supposed to be.
[12:39] That's that's his credit to actually making them play the
[12:41] way they supposed to be. Because you saw for a year and a
[12:44] half, two years that these players, brother, do I remember
[12:46] last season or the. Season Chelsea were cooking.
[12:50] Under pots, under pots. But people still had doubts
[12:52] about the ability of these players.
[12:54] Now it's like it's fully in front of everyone's eyes that
[12:57] are like, OK, yeah, these players are good.
[12:59] And then you have a character coming and saying, Oh, well, you
[13:01] know, they they were worth a, I'm sure character.
[13:03] Had them outside of the top 4. Yeah, I'm sure you probably did.
[13:06] Exactly. So I mean, I don't want to
[13:08] spread misinformation. I.
[13:09] Mean I had them like 8th so I don't know where.
[13:11] I think I had them. Maybe we all had.
[13:13] The 6th, 5th or 6th? 7th maybe?
[13:15] I don't know. I heard it from our Chelsea fan
[13:17] friends that. They've been clipping it legacy.
[13:19] Yeah, yeah, I had Man United. What again?
[13:22] Third. 2nd. Second.
[13:24] Second. I had a batch.
[13:25] Actually, no. I had them third.
[13:27] I had them third. I remember I had.
[13:28] Them I had them either 3rd or 4th I forgot what I had.
[13:30] But on the other side and he gave us a very entertaining
[13:33] game. They did score three goals, but
[13:36] they have a lot of injuries. And I was going to ask you guys,
[13:39] like, should they target someone in this January transfer window?
[13:42] Like what are we looking at? Maybe a center back with Romero
[13:44] out for six weeks now. And I mean, I think Vander Ven
[13:47] came off with another injury on. That guy's pulled.
[13:50] On Sunday, I'm sorry, that guy's pulled by, I mean, 'cause if you
[13:53] think about it, it makes sense that these injuries are are
[13:57] piling up for center backs. Because if you're playing a
[13:59] highline, and this might happen to Barcelona too, if you're
[14:01] playing such an extreme highline, your center backs are
[14:04] always bursting 40 yard sprints or 50 yard sprints that's bound
[14:08] for hamstring and. Yeah, you're demanding a lot
[14:11] physically of them. Yeah.
[14:12] So it's not a surprise that the center backs are getting
[14:14] injured. So the play is super highline
[14:16] you need 4/4 even 5 maybe really good center backside your club.
[14:21] And now, right now Spurs only have two Yes and Dragus in has
[14:23] not been as good since you Syria hipsters hype them up like he
[14:26] said. Brother, I thought he was
[14:28] straight cheeks. I don't know what you're
[14:30] talking. About I don't know about
[14:30] straight cheeks, but he's a good defender.
[14:32] He's just made he. Wasn't working for this brother.
[14:34] That's noble. He's not.
[14:36] Yeah, but then they went for Bonjourno.
[14:38] Bonjourno was. Better Bonjour.
[14:39] But Bonjourno was universally known as a very, very good
[14:42] defender and won, you know what I mean?
[14:43] So I. Don't know, I think.
[14:45] I think if they went for a center back, I'm trying to think
[14:48] of which center backs could potentially be available.
[14:50] Like I know he's been linked to Barsa and it's kind of a step up
[14:53] a like a Jonathan TA at Leverkusen.
[14:55] Yeah, but they would have to, they would have to actually pay
[14:57] for him. And people like teams are just
[14:59] waiting for the. Free.
[15:00] Did you see, did you guys see the the transfer offer that
[15:03] Bayern sent Jonathan TA and that got obviously rejected by the
[15:07] board of Bayern because it's so egregiously bad?
[15:09] What they offered him like a a salary of like almost 15 to 18
[15:14] mil. Yeah, but now Barsa are in that
[15:16] race too, so it makes sense that.
[15:18] Yeah, no, but Bayern the the upper management said what are
[15:21] you doing? That's an offer that get it out
[15:24] of the table because that's the guy's not worth whatever the
[15:27] fuck you're paying. But.
[15:27] Who's who's making that offer? For Emeril, yeah, I don't know
[15:31] director, but I don't know if that was, I think he left last
[15:34] season. So, yeah, no, this is definitely
[15:35] Emeril, but used to be the Leipzig director, I guess.
[15:38] But I don't know. I don't know what's happening at
[15:40] Byron. Byron low key are not that that.
[15:41] Not moving as. They don't have a smart.
[15:43] Aura. Time don't have the same aura as
[15:45] they. Used like look, I'm reading
[15:47] Alfonso Davies, you to go for real put on put on Canada on the
[15:51] map. But some of these numbers that
[15:52] I'm reading for Alfonso Davies is kind of crazy for a left back
[15:54] as a salary. Yeah, like I'm being over 300 KA
[15:57] week. Yeah, but listen, he has the
[16:00] track record the best in the world that your position on your
[16:03] day. Still exists but but yes.
[16:06] You think Luke Shaw does have 300,000 A?
[16:07] Week, by the way, you said DeMarco has the best left foot
[16:10] in the world. But alpha.
[16:11] He's left footed so. Any Demarco's low key actually
[16:14] better left footed than Alphonso Davies, but I the technical
[16:16] ability. I digress.
[16:18] We don't have to get into it. But yeah, if you give Alphonso
[16:21] Davies look, I, I respect when a brother gets a bag, so I, I'm I
[16:25] won't hate. Especially.
[16:26] In the cinema. I'm putting count, putting count
[16:28] on map, but 300 bags for for Alfons Davies kind of crazy but
[16:32] like next thing you know it this is gonna get clipped when
[16:34] Alfonso Davis signed for Manchester United for like 375.
[16:37] Enjoy it bro. If anyone is to offer that
[16:39] amount is probably Manchester United.
[16:40] Yeah, because honestly, like act Byron and actor Real Madrid,
[16:44] he's not really like the the superstar, superstar face of the
[16:50] franchise type level player under amber and bro and that
[16:53] left wing back he will actually be getting in the final third.
[16:56] Like actually Cook, Cook. So if there is a club to give
[17:00] him that, I would say Manchester United have the best reason to
[17:03] give him that. But once again, you're not
[17:05] living in Madrid. You're not living in Yeah,
[17:07] actually Madrid, Munich. What's the difference, bro?
[17:09] I went, I went. To Munich bro.
[17:11] I went to Munich. Oh.
[17:12] No, not Madrid, Manchester, Munich.
[17:14] Yeah, I went to Munich. Same, same Vine I.
[17:17] Gotta go to Manchester. London was beautiful.
[17:19] London was great. Manchester, I'm not.
[17:20] Sure. How you know what?
[17:21] It was one of those things like you go in person, you're like,
[17:24] you know what I kind of get? It's better than I thought.
[17:26] I kind of get it now, like a a brother who goes to Chelsea.
[17:29] These brothers funnel London before we went to London.
[17:31] Bro, we're Italian. Go.
[17:32] On you like you've seen everything.
[17:34] You're comparing apples and oranges in my opinion.
[17:36] What I mean like when you have Manchester as as the the spot.
[17:40] Like. That's crazy.
[17:42] But I'm picking my vacations. I look at the Amalfi Coast, I
[17:45] look at the yeah. But brother food, there's
[17:46] brothers that have told me they went to Milan outside of like
[17:49] four blocks. That city's a shithole.
[17:50] Milan. Milan just is an outlier in my
[17:53] opinion, because you go there as like a as a shopper, yeah, You
[17:56] go there to spend money. You're not there to like, enjoy
[17:58] life. Yeah, but like, let's say you go
[17:59] to Napoli. Napoli is very nice, very nice.
[18:02] Completely different experience though.
[18:04] You're like, you're thinking you like, you're thinking of like
[18:06] Napoli, like Chandra, like right down the middle, like Spanish
[18:09] quarters and everything. Like beautiful though.
[18:10] It's gorgeous. Good.
[18:11] Food good vibes but vibes it's. Not the vibes I haven't seen
[18:15] online. It's OK.
[18:17] But yeah, back to Spurs. I mean, who should they buy?
[18:19] I mean, I'm thinking of center backs.
[18:22] Like I'm saying, you should target like maybe some lever
[18:26] cues and center backs maybe potentially available like
[18:28] Hinckapi or or. Actually that fit well, Kosuna.
[18:31] Went to Atlanta so I. Don't know the the problem.
[18:33] The problem is that like January is such a weird transfer window
[18:37] where it's like OK yes you have the opportunity to make a
[18:40] signing but it's you're either spending a bag to get a player
[18:43] off a very good team like halfway through the season or
[18:46] you're trying to find like an easy pick up from a a lower
[18:50] table team steal. Because The thing is, is that at
[18:53] the end of the day, top clubs aren't really selling players in
[18:56] January bro. If you want some United players
[18:58] bro, in my line bro we. Got yeah, we had a bunch you
[19:00] could have backed offer. Like, but it's mostly Deadwood
[19:03] that they they usually deal off. You know what a man's garbage.
[19:06] One man's garbage is another man's treasure.
[19:08] Bro Anthony Spurs write it on the books.
[19:11] Bro low key. Confirmed right wing.
[19:13] Here we go. Kulusevski backup I already see.
[19:15] It Tonner and Tonner and already have one one Brazilian winger
[19:17] bust and they don't need another one who?
[19:19] We're Charlie, not winger, but yeah sure.
[19:22] Like Striker. Same vibe bro.
[19:23] You wouldn't say they need a midfielder though.
[19:26] I feel like they're lacking in mid.
[19:27] No, I think Papa Matthesar hasn't been bad, bro.
[19:30] It's just. It's really just you can't go
[19:32] into prime games with Ben Davies and Dragaston as your center
[19:35] back bearing. You can't.
[19:35] That's the problem. And even before, before Romero
[19:38] went off injured, they played well defensively, yeah, they
[19:42] weren't bad. So I'm just saying that team is
[19:46] held by 1 center by it's a one center by the center back team
[19:50] which is crazy. Is world class them?
[19:51] Yeah. And this obviously leads to the
[19:54] question where, where will they finish, do you guys think, by
[19:56] the end of the year? Because for me, honestly, right
[19:57] now at the vibes at the club, it's kind of comparable to Man
[20:01] United. Who do you see finishing top
[20:02] higher in the table, Manchester United or Spurs?
[20:04] I would say, I would say United only because you guys made your
[20:09] major changes earlier because Tottenham like it's a bit of a
[20:13] it's a bit of a gamble at a certain point.
[20:16] I think that question of like, are you, are you ang in or ang
[20:19] out? Like it grows larger every time
[20:21] a result like this happens. I'm not saying they played bad
[20:23] versus Chelsea. I think that was just like it
[20:25] was just a very entertaining game and they were on the wrong
[20:27] side of it. But like that question is still
[20:29] lingering, like is it an out situation?
[20:32] But whereas Manchester United, you see, OK, they they axe 10
[20:35] hog when they need it. Yeah, they were all out.
[20:37] Yeah, they were like, OK, no, no.
[20:38] When we needed to axe 10 hog was the summer.
[20:40] Yes, back now, but. Yes, but you still did it
[20:42] earlier than Spurs. In my opinion, Spurs are kind of
[20:44] still riding that Wave would. Would you think that they're
[20:47] going to finish above Let's go, let's go like the weaker teams
[20:51] in the top 10, Not even forced. Do we see not even forced thing
[20:53] like in the top 10? If they're a good.
[20:56] Team. They're a very good team.
[20:57] They're very solid. Yeah, I think they're, I think
[20:59] they're gonna finish lower than not even forced personally, but
[21:02] where? Are they on the table right now?
[21:03] Right now Spurs are 9th or 10th. OK.
[21:06] And Man United is. 13th or 13th? 12th or something like.
[21:09] That that I know at the. Top Nottingham is 6th.
[21:11] Nottingham. No, not yeah, Nottingham.
[21:13] Nottingham's 5th or 6th. Can we just check this?
[21:16] I don't want my phone. My phone.
[21:18] It's OK then. But then we have teams like
[21:20] Brighton that. See, now Brighton, in my
[21:24] opinion, could go further than Spurs because I think they have
[21:27] the depth and that's something that Spurs for some reason, like
[21:30] they're not able to utilize. Well, no Spurs First off, depth
[21:33] once again, First off depth. Archie grade.
[21:35] They play. It's because Brighton play once
[21:38] a week. So you're not.
[21:39] You're comparing apples and oranges, bro.
[21:41] You're playing. You're comparing apples.
[21:42] I hate when people say that a team that plays once a week has
[21:48] depth. They don't have depth, they just
[21:49] play once a week. They play, they have enough to.
[21:52] Right, they have a shit ton of players, but once again, come
[21:55] six months down the line when Yakuba Minte, who signed for 40
[21:58] million in the summer, gets barely any play time or 15
[22:00] minutes off the bench each game, that player won't be happy.
[22:03] He will. He will demand the transfer in
[22:04] the summer. Yeah, but that's the depth.
[22:06] I mean, they're they're still playing in in the end.
[22:09] What what are you trying to say? But there, there's cup ties,
[22:11] there's there's European, you have Conference League, Europa
[22:16] League champion. Vandeven, Vandeven and Romero
[22:17] would not have injuries right now if they were playing one.
[22:20] One game a week. Yes, there's no muscle fatigue.
[22:22] There's no there's. Quite, quite a hypothetical, I
[22:24] think. I don't think so.
[22:25] I, I, I don't. I think these players are
[22:27] playing very, very long seasons. Especially the the injuries that
[22:30] Vandeven is getting, hamstring injuries.
[22:33] That's because you're playing but.
[22:34] That's been a recurring issue, I'd say.
[22:37] Because first July, multiple times a week, some players
[22:40] bodies can't take that workload. Especially with Angie's style of
[22:44] play, right? We always talk about the
[22:45] highline and Varva was saying about like that burst of pace
[22:48] every time they they it's very physically demanding.
[22:50] Do that twice a week, even three times a week possibly.
[22:53] It's like. Enzo Maresca said about Reese
[22:55] James, he can't play two games a week anymore.
[22:57] He said I'm literally only going to play you once a week.
[23:00] That's Max. And he still got injured.
[23:02] But then players like Luke Shaw, even Miramarim, as soon as he
[23:05] came in, he said Luke Shaw, exceptional player.
[23:07] England and Manchester United are lucky to have him but we
[23:12] need to take into account his workload and everything because
[23:14] we can't. They're fragile, they're fragile
[23:17] players. So I don't know, I feel like
[23:20] maybe they they might slip if yeah, if they have all these
[23:22] competitions going on. I don't know, it's hard to
[23:25] juggle. With yeah, they have Europa
[23:27] League, yeah. It's hard to juggle.
[23:29] I don't know. They're in a tough spot, right?
[23:30] I feel like they're like in a Gray zone.
[23:32] Yeah. Where it's like where, where?
[23:33] What do we need to do to, let's say, revive this season?
[23:36] Like, do we make a big change now?
[23:38] It's tough. Maybe you just waited out till
[23:40] January, see where you re evaluate and then you go into
[23:43] it. But yeah, anyways, we could go
[23:45] into the next Premier League match.
[23:48] Unfortunately, Varvar, since you are on the podcast with us, we
[23:52] have no choice. We have no choice, honestly.
[23:54] The brother did not want to talk about Manchester United.
[23:56] He begged us not to talk about it too, but zagged we had to.
[23:59] Manchester United Listen, we could start with the Arsenal
[24:03] game, start with the thought, we start with the.
[24:04] Not matter with the Arsenal. Game Arsenal game.
[24:06] We we did the live stream, right?
[24:08] Yeah, that was funny. If you guys missed out on that,
[24:10] we do. Do we do do we do do.
[24:13] We do live streams once in a while for games that we really
[24:16] like, are excited for. We've had the Club World Cup
[24:19] draw also, but yeah, games, games that we are really excited
[24:22] for, we're gonna start doing some live streams for.
[24:24] So, yeah, and. Champions League 2, Yeah, you
[24:26] know. And that was one of them game
[24:27] weeks. Yeah, that was definitely one.
[24:29] Of them that was, that was the the first thing we did.
[24:31] Yeah, inaugural. First match that that blessed
[24:33] the channel. Success.
[24:34] Yeah, and ended up well, not a success for him, who's then
[24:36] ended up being 3. Not those two goals off of two
[24:39] corners. Arsenal brothers can't defend.
[24:42] That is a major issue because even Nottingham Forest, that
[24:44] first corner that they got, I saw the players moping into the
[24:48] box like, oh, they aren't activated, they're not
[24:50] activated. Yeah, they weren't there
[24:52] mentally. And, and I'm I felt like texting
[24:54] the group chat, like as soon as I saw them like going like this,
[24:57] I'm like, bro, watch Nottingham Forest score from this corner
[24:59] because bro, you seem top level teams.
[25:02] They're on the, they're communicating.
[25:04] You need to be there. I'm going to be there.
[25:05] Like you even saw. Who was I watching this weekend?
[25:10] Forget, but someone kicked the ball out and they were
[25:12] celebrating and the captain told him get the fuck back in here.
[25:15] We have a fucking corner to defend.
[25:17] What the fuck are you doing? Like us, our players are not
[25:20] mentally there. They're not mentally activated.
[25:22] That's why it's for me, it's a, it's a mentality issue at the
[25:26] club for us. We have too many players that
[25:28] are there that are comfortable just picking up a paycheck every
[25:30] week. And I'm not saying that all the
[25:32] players are like that. I think we have players that are
[25:34] activated like, like, Amarim said, Mason Mount definitely
[25:39] that brother is a. Big fan of his.
[25:40] Lisandro Martinez I agree cannot play center back or in my
[25:46] opinion, and this is going to be crazy because usually center
[25:49] backs this is like the complete opposite.
[25:51] Don't put that brother in the box on a corner.
[25:53] The allegations, brother. But he, he basically Lisa was
[25:57] the reason. He was the basically the main
[25:59] reason for 1/4. Yeah.
[26:00] Because then saying go dunk, 'cause then delete, delete ends
[26:03] up like he has to jump over Licha just to get to Milenko.
[26:06] Yeah. But it's zonal marking.
[26:07] But but what? Like you you obviously.
[26:11] But then where? Where do you put Lisandro?
[26:12] Open to the box you. Just.
[26:14] But that's why you need to let's say not.
[26:15] A fast guy. Yeah.
[26:16] But the issue is that like let's say let's say like Mainu 6 foot
[26:19] 2, like like Ugarte, Ugarte, in my opinion, we should go buy a
[26:24] six foot 4 CDM that and I'm not saying they grow on trees.
[26:28] Grow off trees. Rodri, Rodri doesn't grow on
[26:31] trees, grow off trees, but an area dominant CDM where you
[26:36] could go and put Lisandro, let's say on a least a less important
[26:40] player, a less important zone within your zonal marking where
[26:43] on corners doesn't get exposed because I don't feel like an
[26:45] open play gets exposed that much.
[26:47] His height. It's just set pieces that.
[26:49] Really, really gets exposed. Players, yeah.
[26:52] So if you're against, let's say Amarim says no Leecha.
[26:55] Leecha is really important to my team, like he has to say.
[26:58] Then I would say potentially think about going to get a
[27:00] midfielder that's one of those really tall midfielders.
[27:04] I mean like an Amadou Nana or something like that.
[27:05] Yeah, that would have helped. So that would have helped.
[27:07] I think you just missed the ball on that.
[27:08] One, yeah, but but I mean, defensively you guys have, I
[27:13] actually don't have a lot of tall players.
[27:15] I mean, Mazara is not that tall. McGuire.
[27:17] As soon as McGuire came in, we did not.
[27:18] McGuire does help. Yeah.
[27:20] McGuire. McGuire for me is should play
[27:22] over the Lict. I'm just going to say it, and
[27:24] I've been saying this for years, to be honest, McGuire is a
[27:26] better player than the Lict, but the lick we got for a good
[27:30] price, 40 Milford, the lick's not a bad deal.
[27:31] It's not a bad, it's not a terrible.
[27:33] So I'm not mad against signing the lick.
[27:35] I'm just saying for me, I've always loved Harry McGuire.
[27:38] I. Don't think.
[27:39] And you guys know that? Ever known this before I started
[27:41] the channel? I know you've been you've been
[27:43] an A McGuire aficionado aficionado enjoyer.
[27:46] Got too much hate for way too long.
[27:48] Yes, I agree because I do think McGuire is a good center back.
[27:50] But to say, I don't think you've ever said that McGuire was ever
[27:54] better than the lit. I said this while he was at UVA.
[27:56] But does that. Yeah, that that's 'cause the the
[27:58] motivation. No even I I just believe it bro
[28:01] like the licked the licked is McGuire but makes and this is
[28:05] more mistakes like and he's less imposing on players.
[28:08] I don't know maybe I'm crazy but McGuire like going up for a
[28:12] header. I feel way more comfortable with
[28:13] McGuire than the lick. 'Cause it feels, it feels like
[28:16] McGuire would put his body more on the line than than the lid.
[28:20] Unfortunately I don't, I don't know what it is.
[28:21] It might be a mentality thing, but Mcguire's just like a proper
[28:24] English lad, He just goes into it might.
[28:26] Even be the chemistry between your center backs right now,
[28:28] like, yeah, Euro started that game.
[28:30] No, yeah. I liked how he played.
[28:31] I don't think he did anything bad, but he didn't.
[28:33] Do anything crazy? For me, the one thing that I
[28:35] really liked about Euro in the Arsenal game when he went one V1
[28:37] with Trossard and locked him up, yeah, like that.
[28:39] Really like, OK, we might, we might have something to build
[28:44] off of here because how many center backs you think can go
[28:46] wide? 6 foot 3 center backs, by the
[28:49] way, can go wide. You're talking about Rolls Royce
[28:52] territory there. I'm not saying he's there, not
[28:54] yet. I'm not saying he's there.
[28:55] No, he's not there yet, but. On the path.
[28:56] Yeah, but I I do believe he might work better as like the
[29:00] central one because out wide I feel like with Amadiolo like
[29:03] it's kind of tough like on on the right wing.
[29:05] Agree. Personally.
[29:06] You think it works like they're the combination there?
[29:08] Yeah. Like I I feel Maserati was
[29:10] better as a Right so. You're, you're obviously yours,
[29:12] not the finished product. I mean, he's 19 and just got
[29:14] transferred from the garden. Like he's not gonna, he's not
[29:16] the like this is not the finished article, but he could
[29:20] be a bit better on the ball. Obviously he could be not gonna
[29:22] say better. He's very safe on the ball right
[29:24] now. He can be more aggressive.
[29:26] He can try that pass. And Amrim said this in his press
[29:28] conferences. He said like, it's like they're
[29:30] trying to play perfect all the time, that they're trying to
[29:33] find the perfect pass when sometimes perfect pass doesn't
[29:35] exist. Just make a good pass.
[29:37] Yeah, exactly. So there's a lot of mental
[29:40] blocks in our team right now. All the players are playing
[29:42] scared. I think they're scared of making
[29:43] mistakes. But a new manager comes in and
[29:45] really decides if you're like if you're going to be given minutes
[29:48] or not. But off of that Arsenal game,
[29:50] like you're thinking, OK, maybe they could rebound against
[29:52] Nottingham Forest, but then they didn't they they did not
[29:55] necessarily rebound it. But is that downplayed Terrible?
[29:58] Yes. I don't think Manchester United
[30:00] played terrible at all. It was just obviously like we
[30:02] spoke about mistake. Oh, not a disaster.
[30:05] These were egregious. I hold my hands up high when
[30:08] Onana drops a disaster class. I will say it this was an Onana
[30:12] disaster. Class, but I don't think The
[30:14] thing is, is that we we were speaking about this off camera
[30:16] where like like how does this like a performance like this?
[30:21] Where does that put Onana amongst the top goalkeepers,
[30:23] like the best goalkeepers in the world?
[30:24] I still think he's definitely up there because the problem with
[30:27] Onana is, and it was the same at enter.
[30:29] It was he he could have fantastic games, but when he has
[30:33] like an off game or a stinker, Oh brother it it's like an
[30:38] egregious stinker. It was.
[30:39] It's a terrible stinker. But that's why what I was saying
[30:42] is that for goalies you need to be like a consistent like 7 for
[30:45] example. So you're telling me if I go and
[30:48] find the clip of you saying Ederson's a top five goalie in
[30:50] the world, Ederson. Ederson drops mistakes
[30:53] consistently. But Ederson has warranted to be
[30:56] a top. Eye because, because once.
[30:57] Yes, unfortunately he's a product of the environment it
[31:00] also. Helps when you when you had Kyle
[31:02] Walker, you had Ruben. Yeah, you had John Stones in
[31:04] front of you. Like it.
[31:05] It makes a lot. A lot.
[31:06] Of look at Allison, Allison is a consistent.
[31:10] Van Dyke Konate, Yeah. Trent Robertson But I've always
[31:13] said Allison is better than Ederson.
[31:15] But Allison now is getting that man young pulled pork.
[31:18] Yeah, he's a little bit so. He's been a little bit injury
[31:20] prone even at Rome I remember. Yeah, so at what point we use it
[31:23] against for players we have to start using it against for
[31:25] goalies, we're lucky, Liverpool lucky they have an insanely good
[31:28] backup because if they didn't low key could have derailed
[31:31] their season that. That shows the levels.
[31:33] I mean, like, I don't know, Keller.
[31:35] Really don't look that worse with Keller, no?
[31:37] No I agree, I think Keller has been insane.
[31:39] I've seen tweets of people saying that he should be
[31:41] starting for the next couple of games even.
[31:43] I do think he's warranted, yeah, I do think he's, but Allison is
[31:46] the definite. But even definite numbers like
[31:47] Donna Ruma, for example, that I've seen at Milan and I've seen
[31:50] for Italy, he he he has like master class performances and
[31:54] then he just drops a stinker and it makes you reevaluate.
[31:56] Lately there onana's way better than Donna Ruma.
[31:59] That's. Crazy to say because Donna Ruma
[32:02] is the only thing he's good at. Is shot stopping only thing the
[32:05] only thing he's good at? Can't.
[32:06] Play can't play with the ball at his oh.
[32:08] He's he's Cordana's flawless playing with the ball at his
[32:11] feet. I mean, he made what?
[32:12] It's a flawless but. OK, during that article he made
[32:14] a. Flawless.
[32:15] Like he's in the top five, top 10 goalies in the world with the
[32:18] ball at his feet. He's a good ball.
[32:19] He's top, he's top three top. Like I'd say, I'd say he's up
[32:22] there in. Shot stoppers this seasons going
[32:26] back to obviously last year. CL was terrible, I won't even
[32:30] ignore. That just pinpoints that I just,
[32:32] yeah. Exactly, in the Premier League
[32:33] last season he was a top two top three shot stopper and up until
[32:37] that game against not even forced he was the best shot
[32:39] stopper in the Prem. This.
[32:39] Year he's been insane this season so.
[32:42] You're putting top 2 three shot stopper in the Prem last year
[32:45] and a top 2-3 on the ball. I will accept one mistake once
[32:49] in a while that cost us a game. I will accept that when we have
[32:52] way bigger holes and probably nine or eight of the other
[32:55] positions on the. Field.
[32:56] That's what I'm trying to say. If you're world class, you can't
[32:58] make these mistakes. That's wrong.
[32:59] Allison doesn't. Make mistakes bro.
[33:01] The only goalie I will accept is Courtois because Courtois and
[33:05] Allison are the only two goal. They don't make mistakes, but
[33:07] that's why they're top two, top three.
[33:08] They make mistakes. Yeah.
[33:09] But Onana, Onana, I feel like I, I don't know the statistics
[33:12] behind this, but I feel like the distribution of like possession
[33:15] between goalkeepers, I feel like Onana has an insanely higher
[33:18] percentage of like possession. But that's why, that's because
[33:21] they play through him every game.
[33:23] He has the. Ball, but then.
[33:24] But then that leads to obviously the more you have, like the more
[33:28] you have of something, the more opportunities there are of
[33:31] messing up. This goal again, not even
[33:33] forcing, not the ball, That's stupid.
[33:35] No, I don't understand how you don't say.
[33:36] That it was that shot that he kind of moved.
[33:38] Yeah, he's. They it's swerved, but even
[33:40] Gibbs White after the game in his press conference said, yeah,
[33:44] Andre was a top goalie, but I don't know how he didn't save
[33:46] that. Yeah, that that sucks.
[33:49] That probably sucks for Anna. But then there was that
[33:51] obviously that that was it, like a cross that came in.
[33:53] He missed. I was just a miscommunication
[33:55] with the defenders. Put that fully on him, but he's
[33:57] part of the he. Is part of the issue because
[33:58] that that's a goalkeeper that has to come out and yeah,
[34:00] basically come out there and get.
[34:01] That and then at the end of the game where he was trying to give
[34:05] that free kick. So they take that free kick.
[34:08] I might. Just trying to.
[34:09] Throw the ball to 40 seconds. To get every single small little
[34:11] yard, bro. Yeah, we need time, bro.
[34:13] Just. But whatever that's that didn't
[34:15] change the result of the you know, I didn't whatever.
[34:16] That's just a bit annoying. But I just once again, and you
[34:18] pile it on, you're OK. We got two losses.
[34:21] Then they dropped this absolute bomb on us that the sporting
[34:25] director that Ineos spent all of last year coveting, Dan
[34:30] Ashworth, gets sacked. Now, I did my due diligence, due
[34:35] diligence because I knew I was going to give my opinion on this
[34:38] on the podcast. OK, Do I think they made the
[34:41] right decision after what I read?
[34:44] I do think they made the right decision OK after.
[34:46] What you read? That's what they're blind.
[34:48] Backing No, no, no, it's not blind.
[34:50] I think they made the wrong decision by appointing him they
[34:53] that. Is not what you were right or
[34:55] wrong? No, but once again.
[34:56] But once again, as with most things, once it's done, you get
[35:01] a lot more information on how things were run in the
[35:03] background. Everyone in English football
[35:07] propped Don Ashworth up as this transfer guru and this.
[35:10] Yes, once he got to there. And you also were like, OK, so
[35:14] like, you're going to be this transfer guru and you're going
[35:16] to lead the summer for us. And he got there and he's like,
[35:20] yeah. So I'm more of like this, this
[35:23] behind the scenes guy, I don't really do this.
[35:26] Like he doesn't know many people in the football.
[35:28] Until you make it, yeah. Exactly.
[35:30] Literally. Until he.
[35:31] Made it. And bro, when you're reading
[35:33] that instead of Amiram, he wanted Southgate or he wanted
[35:36] Eddie Howe, you're kind of getting to like the.
[35:39] Oh, that's OK, this questioning. This guy's kind of stupid.
[35:41] And he was the guy who wanted to keep 10 Hog, I believe.
[35:43] Yeah, he he in the summer, the only reason why we kept 10 hog
[35:46] was because Sergeant Radcliffe was for sacking 10 hug.
[35:50] But when Ashford said yeah, no, I I think we should actually
[35:53] keep him. I think he would do best.
[35:56] They they were about that point. They Ferritzo Romano mentioned
[35:59] nice tuning. Specifically, he said Deserbian
[36:01] Tukal. We're very close.
[36:03] Wow, that. Would have been nice.
[36:04] That would have been a a season changer.
[36:06] Well, I don't know. I, I don't know.
[36:07] I still think that there's major holes, but supposedly our owner
[36:11] that Ratcliffe was really not happy with the summer.
[36:14] That's what that's what was said.
[36:16] But he has the, he has the opportunity to like, I'm sure
[36:19] like veto a a sporting director's decisions.
[36:22] At the end of the day, you're about his.
[36:23] Signings, I think he's mad with the sales.
[36:25] I don't think he's he's players like Anthony are still here.
[36:28] There's like all these players. That that were considered.
[36:30] Deadwood at the end of last season are still here and you
[36:33] didn't change the manager, so if you're gonna consider them
[36:36] Deadwood last season or Deadwood this season too.
[36:38] Yeah, nothing's gonna change unless, unless they have like
[36:40] some sort of epiphany. Like, like, it's not like I
[36:43] don't know. I don't know.
[36:44] I really don't know. But supposedly we're we're
[36:47] upgrading this guy Christopher Vivel, who used to be at RB
[36:50] Leipzig, went to Chelsea, signed and Kunku signed.
[36:53] Which other player, which other players did he sign?
[36:55] He signed Badi Ashil, he signed and Kunku and he signed the One
[36:59] more than my friends. Where's this at?
[37:01] The at Chelsea. At Chelsea, Chelsea, yeah.
[37:03] And then at Leipzig, he's I'm. Already at Manchester United.
[37:07] Yeah, he was already there, OK? He was there from the summer,
[37:10] and now they're making him like Ornstein said, he's gonna be
[37:12] very involved. OK, so.
[37:14] So you guys are running with no sporting?
[37:15] Yeah, it's not like, it's not like we didn't have anyone lined
[37:17] up. We had someone already behind
[37:19] him that could step up and take his spot.
[37:21] That's smart, that's smart, but it's it's crazy because then I
[37:25] guess that's on ownership again for not doing their due
[37:28] diligence on. That's where they made the
[37:30] issue. Yeah, that was the, that was the
[37:32] mistake. Because then how do you not know
[37:34] this guy is a more behind the scenes quote UN quote until he
[37:37] comes in through the door and you already signed the contract.
[37:39] Manchester United and the owner specifically said this when he
[37:43] was coming in, that we want to be top of the data analysis in
[37:45] the world, like we want to be top of that game where we can
[37:48] unearth young players. And then as soon as he came in,
[37:51] they thought they were getting this forward thinking data
[37:52] analysis. A sporting director, he came in.
[37:55] No, no, no. He came in and was like, we
[37:57] should outsource our data analysis, like have someone do
[38:00] it for us, so. Is that that bad?
[38:02] I don't think that's horrible. That's bad, yeah.
[38:04] But when you bring in someone that's expert in that.
[38:06] Yes. We're not bringing in.
[38:07] You're not taking that, you're outsourcing.
[38:08] You like Liverpool? Liverpool this summer went and
[38:12] got Edwards. Edwards used to work at
[38:14] Liverpool when they won the CL, left because he had
[38:17] disagreements with Klop and then built his own data analysis
[38:20] company that a bunch of clubs could use.
[38:22] And then when Liverpool offered him the job this summer, he said
[38:26] OK, I'll pick my manager off of Pure Data like tarnish slot,
[38:30] which seems like to be working out.
[38:32] Yeah, I saw that thing that they had a couple of managers.
[38:34] It was Amarim. It was Amarim and Slot.
[38:36] And someone else? Yeah.
[38:38] Who? Fonseca.
[38:39] No, it wasn't. I'm check I'm.
[38:40] Trying to get involved. In I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
[38:43] send you the article. No, it was a Liverpool article.
[38:47] And the data analysis showed that there was Amarim.
[38:50] Liverpool Sun or something? Amarim, Fonseca, Inzagi was in
[38:54] there and slot, but then they went through a whole analysis
[38:58] like Back 3 Wooden and work at Liverpool because they've never
[39:01] played it in the past. So they took out Inzaghi, they
[39:03] took out Amarim, and it was left Fonseca.
[39:05] Supposedly they were deep in conversations with Amarim.
[39:08] Like deep in negotiation. Yeah, they were.
[39:09] They didn't. Want to play?
[39:10] Pay the release clause to Sporting.
[39:12] I saw, I saw that the the managerial whatever wouldn't
[39:16] work. All this to say, Fonseca wasn't
[39:18] involved. I'll.
[39:19] I'll send you the article later and you guys.
[39:21] Don't read it. Crazy work.
[39:23] That's how you went. But yeah, I'm not, I'm not
[39:26] opposed to sacking Ashworth. It's just sad that it got to
[39:29] that point because bro, you, this guy scammed us.
[39:32] Yeah, Yeah. And we waited, waited.
[39:34] We waited too. There was gardening leave.
[39:35] We waited like six months for this brother to.
[39:37] Show you waited. You wasted about a year and a
[39:39] half so. Looking back at your transfers,
[39:41] would you say that he succeeded or he failed?
[39:43] No. Like Xerxy for 40.
[39:44] Million. Yeah, Xerxy for 40 million I
[39:46] would not redo but. There's a couple Masrawi you
[39:49] would redo. Oh.
[39:50] Masrawi, Masrawi, Masrawi would be worth whatever we paid for
[39:54] him plus Xerxy's price. So for that, honestly, I think
[39:57] that was a 10 Hawk signing. I don't even think that that was
[39:58] like, that's crazy. I think 10 Hawk specifically
[40:00] asked for him and that. 10 Hawk called him.
[40:02] In like him and the only ones I can say I really like so far are
[40:05] Euro and and Maserati Euro. We've seen two games, yeah, but
[40:09] Euro? Yeah, but he's more of a long
[40:10] term project. You know what?
[40:12] Amarim amarim #1 and Ferrito Romano I the glaze is unreal.
[40:17] I keep mentioning Ferrito Romano, said.
[40:19] Bro Amarim, when he came to the club, mentioned Lenny EUR like a
[40:22] pillar of his when he was in negotiation with Ineos.
[40:25] He's like the pillar of his project.
[40:26] That's good. Yeah, he's there.
[40:27] You got to give him time. And then so 60.
[40:29] MIL I would still redo that for me.
[40:31] Ugarte. I like Ugarte.
[40:32] A lot of people have fans are 5050 on him.
[40:35] I'm not a fan. I I like him, you.
[40:37] Still redo it I. Think it's more of the context
[40:39] like he had a bad season at PSG you could get a little bit off
[40:43] of his value. Like 50 million for Ugarte after
[40:45] a bad season is not. I agree.
[40:47] The best deal I agree but I'm not saying Ugarte is a bad
[40:49] player like for this. Potential.
[40:51] If we signed, let's say another CDM in January or in the summer,
[40:56] that can complement both Ugarte and Menu.
[40:58] I think they can play together. But like let's say you have a
[41:00] rotation of all three, that could somewhat work like
[41:02] Casamuro. Sell Casamuro let's say and buy
[41:05] someone a more mobile Casimiro cuz Casimiro's not a bad player,
[41:09] he's just very. He's done.
[41:12] Unfortunately, he's done. His legs are finished.
[41:14] I don't know who could be available.
[41:16] As a CDM. Yeah, like.
[41:18] It's a hard position nowadays bro.
[41:21] Honestly, for real, if Travi Alonzo leaves this summer, I'm
[41:23] going in and rating Leverkusen for almost all their players.
[41:26] They're going to say Shabi Alonso come play CDL.
[41:28] Like like, like got him a pair of cleats.
[41:31] I'm going to start slow sell download to Real Madrid if
[41:34] they're really offering 45, which I'm reading sell download
[41:37] to Real Madrid, bring in Frimpong, OK, if it's a lot
[41:40] better fits a lot better in the five back.
[41:42] So bring Frimpong number one. That's number one thing I do.
[41:45] So your right side, your right wing back is Frimpong and then
[41:48] I'm at Diallo can come play once in a while, or you can play
[41:50] behind the biker also #2 left wing back.
[41:54] Obviously Alfonso Davies is number one target.
[41:57] This brothers just Oh my God, this is like this is doing a
[42:01] that's like we're. Manchester United.
[42:02] This is why Sir Jim Ratcliffe was pissed about the summer.
[42:05] Because we're Manchester United. We can sign and Euro proved it.
[42:09] We can compete against the real madrids.
[42:12] We can compete for those signings spend the money not
[42:14] going yes, that, but I the owners willing to spend the
[42:18] money that's good. It's just the strategy involved
[42:20] wasn't good. And then I'm I'm I'm trying.
[42:22] I'm going all out this summer for Florian Verts.
[42:25] I'm not kidding all. Out in Germany, he's not leaving
[42:28] Germany. He's he'd be going to Bayern
[42:29] Munich, No. Or Real Madrid.
[42:31] It's one or the other. But once again.
[42:33] You want to compete with Real Madrid, You might have to be.
[42:35] In those circles you have to. They might not.
[42:38] I'd rather get rejected then you not even try because you don't I
[42:42] mean. Like so would you sell Bruno to
[42:44] get words? You are you thinking about it?
[42:47] I think they're very similar levels right now.
[42:49] But yes, I would do it because he's seven years younger or
[42:53] whatever that does. So yes, I would do it.
[42:55] But once again, you have to see, oh, is Bruno getting like if
[42:59] Bruno someone offers like 70 mil, 80 mil, like, yeah, I take
[43:02] it. But if someone's offering 20
[43:03] mil, no, I'm not selling Bruno. Obviously not.
[43:05] So. Whatever, you just keep it but.
[43:07] Guys were clubs in Manchester United, so yeah, other clubs
[43:10] have lost this weekend. Yes.
[43:12] One big one. In Syria, my beloved Milan lost
[43:15] again against Atlanta, who are on a hot streak.
[43:18] Brothers are undefeated in like, I don't know how many games, but
[43:21] they completely dominated. This game raises a lot of
[43:23] questions and obviously the manager Fonseca is that.
[43:27] He Are you ready to give a definitive in or out right now?
[43:30] It's it's hard to say because there's so many aspects that
[43:33] aren't going well. Like just who would you bring
[43:37] in? You can confidently tell me that
[43:38] this is an improvement on last season or no?
[43:41] Well, right now, definitely not right.
[43:42] We're out of the Scolito race. I could, I could say that
[43:45] confident. You might not even be in the top
[43:46] four race right now. I'm afraid not.
[43:48] Yeah, which is a shame, but I think it's more like this is a
[43:51] conversation firms and I were having before you came over.
[43:54] It was like this idea that Fonseca doesn't fit the the mold
[43:59] of a Setia manager in the sense that like this at the end of the
[44:03] day, does he garner the same respect as let's say an Italian
[44:06] manager? If they were if they were at
[44:08] Milan, the do the ideas align with something that a Milan
[44:13] would play like it. It's a very tough like I
[44:16] wouldn't necessarily sack Fonseca because I do think his
[44:19] philosophies are are it works. It's just the players don't
[44:23] work. But if you're going to be a good
[44:24] manager, you play to the strengths of the team and you
[44:27] figure out the weaknesses and you try to mitigate them.
[44:29] He is not mitigating them. He is just full like.
[44:33] I think, I think he's found a couple of like ways to mitigate
[44:36] them, Like Emerson Royale obviously is not that.
[44:38] Good, I don't think, but he's. As a as a help on that right
[44:41] hand side and it has worked against Real Madrid.
[44:44] But at the end of the day that you're handicapping the team
[44:47] because you're using Moussa to cover but an Emerson Royale.
[44:51] But I think it raises more like the upper management has failed
[44:54] to give him the tools that he needs.
[44:57] What I was telling Millie is that right now, if you wear the
[44:59] sacket. Your squad is top two or three
[45:01] in the in the. League I agree we have one of
[45:03] the best teams in city. So yes, your man individual
[45:05] giving him shit tools. No, but.
[45:07] This isn't a Manchester United situation where the squad
[45:10] compared to your to your bro their their squad is better than
[45:13] you vase clear like clear of you vase.
[45:15] I would say like on the same tier there's maybe.
[45:17] A bit I would say is better than Atlanta's.
[45:20] On paper like there might be an argument, but Atlanta's
[45:23] definitely has a a much stronger squad.
[45:25] If you had to trade an inter squad for Atlanta's or Milan's,
[45:28] which one you taking? Yeah.
[45:31] That's a conversation. I'm taking Milan's team bro.
[45:32] Mine might just take La Raphael Leal by himself and then not
[45:35] sell everyone else and then figure out.
[45:37] That's crazy. Without money bias, bro Leal is
[45:40] better than any. Like Leal in himself is as
[45:44] unstoppable as let's say all of Atlanta's front three.
[45:47] Come on, if Rategi went to Milan, he'd be on three goals or
[45:50] four goals. But that's the issue.
[45:52] Like the Yeah. Why?
[45:53] Why does that environment on Milan like hinder the abilities
[45:57] of players? But so it's pressure.
[46:01] I don't know. I don't know bro.
[46:02] I don't think what I was. Diagnosed on club bro I know
[46:05] what I just hate watch every week bro I'm I'm not a fan.
[46:08] What I was saying to Millie is that right now, unless you're
[46:10] going for some world class renowned manager, which they
[46:14] won't, you go for an Italian manager, you settle the waters
[46:18] because right now. You could have.
[46:19] The Zerby was available this summer.
[46:20] The Zerby is a pretty good option, but compared to Fonseca
[46:24] they play almost a similar type of.
[46:26] Way but one is very high pressing Italy and one is like
[46:29] actually that's what. Has a bad reputation right now.
[46:30] I think the Milan needs to work on PR because right now we have
[46:34] every media against us because obviously everything's micro
[46:37] analyzed. You get an Italian manager
[46:39] already. The Italians are going to be
[46:40] like, OK, Milan's going back to the Italian ways.
[46:43] Even a Paladino. I was saying he's a, he's a
[46:46] mediocre manager. It's like.
[46:48] It's like, no, but it's like Manchester scenery bringing it
[46:50] anyhow, even if he's it helps, you're doomed because it helps
[46:53] and and no, it doesn't because in you need to have a certain
[46:57] Rep within that country, like the Zerbi is known as like Oh my
[47:01] God, that's the guy who brought Sasolo and and built beautiful
[47:04] football like he could be our savior.
[47:07] Paladino is damage control. You should have just kept Pioli
[47:10] at that point. No, I don't know, Palazino
[47:12] apology. Is good pill.
[47:14] Once again, don't name it doesn't have a name.
[47:16] Deserbi has a name associated to him, but we've.
[47:18] Seen like in Zagat Inter, he didn't have a name per se, like
[47:21] a worldwide renowned president. Beppe Morata, they're way
[47:24] smarter than anyone else in the league so.
[47:25] That's like, but that's because their upper management is in.
[47:27] Communication just matters. Latin saying I am God, OK you.
[47:30] Latin you. I don't think he's making the
[47:33] decisions himself. I think it's.
[47:35] I just don't think it helps having him there in.
[47:38] In my opinion, I don't think it helps.
[47:39] Why? Because it's it's another voice
[47:42] in that room that that changes the way that.
[47:45] Milan backroom, but yeah. But but there's no way you have
[47:48] in Ibrahimovic there lurking around just talking like, yes,
[47:53] that's I don't know. I'm reserving my judgement on
[47:55] the management right now, but I think Fonseca, there's obviously
[47:59] questions. I just don't see who the
[48:01] replacement is unless you go for like a saree just because he's
[48:04] Italian. Like I go.
[48:05] Who? That's the thing, the Sergio
[48:08] Quince Sao, I feel like that's experimental.
[48:10] I you would scratch your eyeballs out watching his team
[48:13] play. Also.
[48:14] I don't know. But tell me like.
[48:16] Oh, like a Thiago Moto's right there.
[48:18] OK, but that's not of the ship I sailed.
[48:20] Yeah, the. And to be honest, that's exactly
[48:23] what I was telling him. Thiago Moto doesn't get the same
[48:25] stick. Yeah.
[48:25] It's like a because he's Italian.
[48:26] Yeah, that's the only yes. Yes.
[48:28] But once again, like I said with Deserbe, he doesn't get the same
[48:30] stick because he's seen as like the next one up.
[48:34] Yes, but. Paladino's not viewed in the
[48:36] same light as Thiago Moto was or Deserbe was, so that wouldn't
[48:39] break. That would not a solution.
[48:40] Yeah, but you you always looked at as they're not looked at as
[48:43] as an Italian superpower right now.
[48:45] They're looked as like a developing, like rebuilding
[48:48] giant. And Thiago Mota is going to be
[48:50] at the helm of this rebuild. Like he's given way more slack
[48:54] in my opinion than Fonseca, which Fonseca?
[48:56] Like he's he caught Milan at a bad time because you caught the
[48:59] end of Peoli that like his philosophy was pretty much
[49:02] stretched out to the. Really.
[49:03] Different and then and then it's like you're stuck, you're stuck
[49:06] with a a squad that obviously needs to be rejuvenated,
[49:09] obviously needs to be more form to his ideas and his
[49:12] philosophies. And it's just like he's in a
[49:15] transition time. Tagamoto is in a transition
[49:17] time. But one is looked at as a
[49:19] rebuild, like we're going to start from scratch.
[49:21] We're going to build it up with Italian youth and whatever.
[49:24] And the other one is, well, listen, you have decent players
[49:27] on that Milan squad. You kind of have to make
[49:28] Champions League, whatever. And if you don't, you're a bad
[49:30] manager. Once again, it's all PR.
[49:32] It's all PR my. I do.
[49:33] Do I think Fonseco is the right move for Milan?
[49:35] No, I don't. I don't necessarily think it was
[49:38] right, I thought. It was my judgment, but.
[49:39] I I think he's OK, but for Milan, considering where they
[49:44] were 2-3 years ago, Like you're you're.
[49:47] A step down maybe? It's a step down and but again,
[49:49] it's a cycle. You're at the.
[49:51] You were the at the end of that can only match.
[49:53] On how bad it would be right now if you had Lo potegi, I can't.
[49:55] Forget lo potegi bro that that should.
[49:57] Not have been so. Fun, but you see like.
[49:59] That would have been so great for Kyle.
[50:00] It would. Have been a haywash.
[50:01] Bowl. That would have been so good.
[50:03] Milan rebuild right away. They signed Lo Poteggi and low
[50:06] potegi does bad. Is that like it's obviously low
[50:09] Potegi fault but who got him there in the 1st?
[50:11] Place. Oh, that's like any us with Dan
[50:13] Ashworth. You know what I mean?
[50:14] So it's obviously the management that's.
[50:16] Yes, but once again, if you sacked Fonseca, it's still the
[50:18] right decision because Fonseca deserves to be sacked.
[50:21] I don't once again think he. Deserves to be socked, but
[50:23] serves to be. Sacked.
[50:24] No, because Atalanta beats every team in Teddy.
[50:26] On my he was playing the worst football he's ever played in his
[50:28] career. But Rangers is playing his best.
[50:30] Yeah, Lisa just playing his best.
[50:31] But last year you were creaming over reindeers either way, so it
[50:34] really doesn't look like it not. As much I think.
[50:35] We're ripping the shit out of him low key.
[50:37] Who? Us.
[50:38] Yeah. YouTube.
[50:39] Yeah. We're.
[50:40] My fault, he's a little bitch. Yeah, it's.
[50:42] Like 2 tackles or three tackles. It's not my fault he plays a
[50:44] meal and bro, obviously I'm gonna hate watch.
[50:46] But on the other hand, 3 tackles bro.
[50:48] Same amount as Francesco Camardo bro.
[50:51] Crazy work. He's holding that as a trophy.
[50:52] Brother, I know, I know. It's crazy, crazy.
[50:54] I do think I do think Milan like it's a step back, but I don't
[50:59] it's it's weird. It's weird.
[51:00] I feel like you guys are like in a purgatory state right now bro.
[51:03] Go get like a a a Marco Silva at Fulham.
[51:07] No. But that's experimental.
[51:08] Again, I'm telling you, get an Italian manager and.
[51:10] Write it out. Bro, Marco Silva is good.
[51:13] Bro. That's an experienced manager.
[51:14] It's it. But what's the He has the same
[51:16] experience Fonseca. No, he doesn't.
[51:18] But are you talking? About Marco Silva has been way
[51:20] better bro. His teams, his teams, wherever
[51:23] he's gone, has been good. Yeah, but Milan don't like, I
[51:26] don't know, Fulham to Milan is a monster.
[51:28] Jump. No, it's not.
[51:29] In terms of player quality right now, no it's not.
[51:31] Are you crazy? A lot more pressure.
[51:33] A lot more pressure. Bro there might be more players
[51:36] in Fulham starting 11 that start out like in the combined 11.
[51:39] That's crazy to say it's not. So you're saying Fulham has a
[51:41] better team and then Juventus? They might yeah bro but I've
[51:45] said this, Fulham might finish like UVA would not this.
[51:48] Is just because he has you will be on FPL by the way.
[51:51] Bro I've said this. I'm not trading Boeing for you
[51:53] all. I've said this multiple times
[51:56] that UVA don't finish in the top six in the Prem or top seven or
[51:59] eight in the Prem. I've said this multiple times
[52:02] for multiple years bro. Fulham does.
[52:04] Yeah, Fulham is in the top 8 right now, but.
[52:06] You think they'll finish top 6? Yes, I but I love Fulham.
[52:08] I like Fulham. Paula was here.
[52:09] He would bet he would put some money on that.
[52:11] Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[52:12] Like this would have been a whole argument conversation.
[52:14] On the other side, Atlanta, they're they're playing insane.
[52:18] I have a question for you guys. Is Atlanta the most underrated
[52:22] team in the world right now? You got to say so no.
[52:25] Top of Syria, one of the best strike forces in all the top
[52:28] five leagues right now. I think you have to put them in
[52:31] that conversation is yes, they are probably the most underrated
[52:33] team in Europe, probably the world.
[52:35] Everything is clicking. They got Lukeman scoring goals,
[52:38] they got Charles de Cataleres scoring goals.
[52:40] Retegu is on fire brother. This is an actual team that
[52:43] could challenge for this area. Everything's just clicking
[52:47] perfectly for Atlanta and Gasparini.
[52:49] He has that team firing on all cylinders.
[52:51] I don't know what they're doing in that locker room.
[52:52] I don't know what juice they're drinking in there, Gasparini
[52:54] juice. But they are absolutely cooking
[52:57] and they are looking dominant in every game that they're playing.
[53:00] The the attacking threat that they have is, I would say only
[53:05] Inter rivals them. I I'm just kind of looking at
[53:08] the teams. I'm kind of looking at teams
[53:10] like 10 Hogs, Iax and I'm seeing kind of like vibes like that
[53:14] where I low key see them going deep in Champions League too.
[53:17] I don't. They could be a surprise.
[53:19] Yeah, I I do think they could definitely qualify that.
[53:21] They're definitely not Which. Team, can you definitely put
[53:24] above Atlanta right now? Instead yeah, in in the.
[53:26] World I'm saying Liverpool might be the only team right now that
[53:29] you can confidently say going into around the 16 or saying
[53:33] that they would definitely would beat them.
[53:35] That's the thing about Atlanta, like you, they could come up
[53:38] swinging and they could beat an an like, I don't know, against
[53:41] the Liverpool a couple of years ago, they beat.
[53:43] The last year, but cops. Liverpool's not the same, but
[53:45] yeah, but crazy. Performance this season,
[53:47] Atlanta. This season, interbeat them for
[53:49] nothing. Yeah, they they have these
[53:51] swings. But but right now I think
[53:52] they're like on a nine game win streak like.
[53:55] Maybe even more. I mean, we're gonna see them.
[53:56] We're gonna see them play Real Madrid.
[53:59] Like, just big litmus test Tuesday.
[54:01] No. Yeah.
[54:02] So later today, as you guys are seeing this, they're gonna be
[54:04] playing Real Madrid. I think they're gonna be Real
[54:07] Madrid beat. Yeah.
[54:08] I'm not even gonna lie. I don't know.
[54:10] And I'm a Madridista stand up, But Madrid A-Team like Atlanta,
[54:14] that's going to be a tough, tough out.
[54:15] I, I don't think they're, they're ready for an Atlanta
[54:19] right now. Like it's weird because I don't
[54:20] think there's a La Liga team that kind of compares with an
[54:24] Atlanta. They they are.
[54:26] Madrid are not ready for the mighty Atlanta.
[54:28] No. And the.
[54:29] The heavy man to man, Marquez. Like I do.
[54:32] Think it's not common in La Liga?
[54:33] You give Luchman like an an ounce, you give him a bit of
[54:37] space, he'll make something happen.
[54:39] Same thing with Vinicious on the other side though.
[54:40] Yes, I agree. And I think that's where are
[54:43] just gonna have to just keep pressing, get the ball to Vinny,
[54:45] get the ball to anyone that could score because Atlanta, you
[54:48] give them a bit of breathing room, they're gonna do
[54:50] something. And if I'm a major club, I'm
[54:52] looking at Gasparini. I'm like, if I need a manager
[54:54] right now, I'm looking at Gasparini and I'm saying can
[54:58] this man be one of the top three top five managers in world's
[55:02] football? I I don't think he's got the.
[55:04] CV Brother. He really doesn't like he just.
[55:06] Atlanta Europa League. Atlanta, but any he goes
[55:09] anywhere else, it doesn't work. He's one of those.
[55:11] It's like Pep. Every single player that comes
[55:13] through there plays the best football of their career.
[55:15] It's crazy. It just my life just works.
[55:18] No, it's true. Every single player that Atlanta
[55:21] has been. Almost every.
[55:22] Single player that goes to Atlanta plays the peak football
[55:26] of their career. Yeah.
[55:27] And then pretty much they all flop after.
[55:28] Yes, it's true. So I I saw.
[55:31] Going back to a Milan, a Milan should be on their knees for for
[55:35] Gasparini to join the club. I don't think he'd ever make
[55:37] that that move. I think he's just too he's too
[55:40] in in like he's too ingrained in Atlanta you need.
[55:44] To you need to give him certain reservations like you will have
[55:47] say over transfers or or he doesn't have say transfers over
[55:50] Atlanta right now. So I wouldn't give that but you
[55:53] have to give him certain and look a paycheck definitely helps
[55:56] if you double or AAA salary. But you see, like, I, I was
[55:59] seeing this thing on Twitter that basically in 2015 or 2014,
[56:03] whenever he joined Atlanta was like 17th and they climbed the
[56:07] table and they, they, they were about to be relegated, to be
[56:11] honest. And it just happened that
[56:12] Gasparini came in as this like unknown manager.
[56:16] These are the gambles you take Italian managers.
[56:18] He knows the league I mean. Should copy that by the way.
[56:22] Yes, but you can. Judge someone by one flop.
[56:24] Ancelotti flopped at Everton, Real Madrid still went to go get
[56:27] him for a second time and they won Champions League and.
[56:29] That's why you put him A tier, right?
[56:31] But if I imagine. We did that.
[56:33] I remember in that video, I remember that video, you saying,
[56:35] yeah, what about his Everton stint?
[56:36] Yeah, but imagine. Imagine we did the tier list of
[56:39] of Ancelotti right after his Everton stint.
[56:42] Brother would be cooked. Yes, but it would be cooked.
[56:45] So you can't you can't judge managers by 1 stint.
[56:47] Where would you put Gasparini on?
[56:49] That's your list. Probably.
[56:51] But you want some of beef. Like a low beef.
[56:53] Higher than Arteta. Low key, yeah, because Atlanta
[56:56] play very, very good football. Well, Atlanta, there's 11, I
[57:01] believe they tied. They tied recently like in maybe
[57:04] a couple. Tied and Arsenal And Arsenal
[57:05] players were a little shocked of how well Atlanta were playing.
[57:08] Was it Declan Rice saying that? We don't really play man to man
[57:12] to man like that like Atlanta did, yeah.
[57:14] Listen, I think Atlanta is cooking.
[57:16] Very underrated team. I'm calling it a Champions
[57:19] League semi finalist this year. But no, bro, OK, I get it.
[57:23] I love the enthusiasm. It's it's great.
[57:25] But at the end of the day, at the like, they're still playing
[57:30] pretty much the same amount of games as an Inter, the deeper
[57:33] squad. Atalanto would beat a Bayern
[57:35] Munich over 2 legs right now. Atalanto would beat a PSG over
[57:38] 2. Legs I I listen.
[57:40] I think people are starting to now realize how good Atlanta is.
[57:44] But to say that they would beat Giants in Europe, it's like it's
[57:48] tough. I do think they'll they'll play.
[57:49] Still an underdog. I, I think they'll play a very
[57:52] good game against Real Madrid. It'll be close, but you have to
[57:55] wait till near like later, later stages of the season.
[57:58] Let's say they go deep in a Champions League or let's say
[58:01] they're, they're still in that seti, a title race.
[58:03] They're going to have to kind of make a decision personnel wise
[58:05] and say, OK, which one are we focusing on because they don't
[58:08] have the legs. Yeah, they do.
[58:10] They have even just adding like a Kusono from Byron Leverkusen.
[58:14] Like that's an insane upgrade in my opinion in defense.
[58:16] But but Atlanta have been known to make these shrewd transfers
[58:19] that like like when they when they picked up a a Rotegi, I was
[58:22] like, you know, that's that's a decent sign.
[58:24] But but that I could see it happening or like a Scamaka I
[58:27] don't know but I could see it working.
[58:28] Out at the end of the year when those games are in Champions
[58:31] League happening. Scamaka.
[58:32] Scamaka's gonna be back from injury.
[58:34] So then you have Rotegi and Scamaka.
[58:35] Scamini back as well. Yeah.
[58:37] Scamini and he's he's basically. I'm gonna say it.
[58:40] I think for Seria right now, Atlanta and Inter are the
[58:42] contenders. I think Napoli.
[58:44] Can win? Who would you say?
[58:46] I think inter. Unfortunately, I'm gonna go out
[58:48] Toronto. Why not?
[58:49] I know Napoli all season, but Napoli, they still think they're
[58:54] gonna. I still think they're clear.
[58:56] There's a top three in Syria and it's clear, but I'm gonna switch
[59:01] to Atalanto. Listen, Napoli now they have no
[59:03] choice but to go all in on city out because they lost in the
[59:05] Copa Italia yeah, which was like such a cop out like I honestly,
[59:10] because I I I could be mistaken, but when I saw the lineup for
[59:14] that game I. Played their entire second team
[59:16] this. Whole second team and I'm like,
[59:18] is Kante really throwing? But then they played Laxio again
[59:22] and they lost. Yeah, they lost with their full.
[59:24] 1st with their full first team. So it's like, was it really?
[59:26] Worth it? Yeah, it doesn't even matter it.
[59:27] Doesn't even matter, you could have still been in Copa Italia.
[59:29] Copa Italia at least but. So you're thinking Enter.
[59:32] I'm gonna have to because I do think that we have.
[59:35] Jinxed. Clipped, Exported.
[59:38] Yeah, knock on wood. Knocked on wood.
[59:40] Wood has been knocked on wood. But Atlanta's gonna be.
[59:44] Audio. Audio listeners have no idea
[59:45] what's happening. They have no idea where you're
[59:47] not. Knocking on this cock.
[59:49] Anyways, crazy work. Anyways, do I think Atlanta
[59:54] could definitely be up there? I think they'll make Champions
[59:56] League. No, definitely not a shot.
[59:58] Oh, that's a crazy shot. Really.
[1:00:00] Yeah. Hot take, hot take, bro.
[1:00:02] This guy decided to come out this sizzling hot takes.
[1:00:06] Top two, maybe Top 2 we'll. See too, I think they're
[1:00:08] contending, Definitely contending, but let's other.
[1:00:10] Leagues are the interior. Yeah, let's move on to other
[1:00:12] leagues. Not a good day for the Barcelona
[1:00:15] fans, let's say. As we said, I mean, Hansi Flick
[1:00:17] was saying thank goodness November's over because we got
[1:00:20] to get into the December Games, Hope for a fresh start, but I
[1:00:23] don't know what's happening. Bettys Tutu.
[1:00:25] Dominant Bettys deserved 3 points here.
[1:00:29] Oh boy, deserved. I think that clearly deserved.
[1:00:32] Is that? No, That's not even contested.
[1:00:33] That's not you can't contest. Even Barsa fans will tell.
[1:00:36] You, I think Flick. Flick knew what?
[1:00:39] Yeah, no. I think it was Barsa.
[1:00:41] Fans once again I said they don't celebrate titles in
[1:00:44] November. They the titles are not won in
[1:00:46] November. They're still leading La Liga,
[1:00:48] though. Yeah, so Real Madrid have a game
[1:00:50] in hand and it's closing, bro. It's closing very quickly.
[1:00:53] It's closing, especially if you keep dropping points like this.
[1:00:55] And low key Real Madrid slowly putting everything together a
[1:00:59] little bit more. I'm not basically yes,
[1:01:00] domestically, but we'll see this week in Champions League.
[1:01:03] But like they're slowly kind of getting back into it.
[1:01:06] I'm not saying that they're world beaters still, but listen,
[1:01:09] Barcelona, I, I don't really know what was happening.
[1:01:12] There was a lot of times where the Barsa's defense got caught
[1:01:15] really, really badly where it's like they were all behind real
[1:01:18] Batiste players and I was like, what is happening?
[1:01:21] And they were on side and I'm like, what the hell is happening
[1:01:24] here? But listen the the players that
[1:01:27] are that need to produce and need to score their scoring.
[1:01:30] That's what let me know. Master class man of the match as
[1:01:32] per usual. Levandowski still scoring.
[1:01:34] Levandowski still still, still still insane.
[1:01:37] You didn't play. But I don't know what it is It
[1:01:42] is it a midfield problem? Is it a defending problem?
[1:01:44] Like it could just be that that Flick is playing a little too
[1:01:47] much. It like too risky, little too
[1:01:51] progressive, little too high up and they're just getting caught.
[1:01:53] But I mean, as a manager, you kind of have to understand.
[1:01:56] OK. Well, if we're, if we're making
[1:01:58] mistakes like this, is this something that like we kind of
[1:02:00] need to adjust that? I don't know what it is.
[1:02:03] Rob Betty's also played good. Like, let's give credit to them.
[1:02:06] You're. Getting scored on by Giovanni
[1:02:07] Lusso in 2020. It's a penalty.
[1:02:10] You're getting scored on by Giovanni.
[1:02:12] I don't give a the. Only reason why he's scoring is
[1:02:13] a penalty. I'm.
[1:02:14] Sorry you give a shit how it is to be honest.
[1:02:16] You're getting scored on by 20/20/20.
[1:02:17] Of course, he still says Los Sasso on it.
[1:02:19] Bro you're following Vitor Roque who's supposedly not good enough
[1:02:22] to play for you. Didn't play well.
[1:02:25] Didn't play well, got a pen. Literally got a pen for his
[1:02:27] team. Apart from that.
[1:02:29] OK, sure, rage beat, but Betty's dominated from minute one to
[1:02:34] minute 90 in this game. I I Barcelona feel tired legs I
[1:02:40] should do power rankings this week.
[1:02:41] Actually I said you switched. No, Barcelona, you are out of my
[1:02:44] top 10. What's funny is that every time
[1:02:46] we do power rankings, Barcelona loses the game dropper.
[1:02:49] Stinker. So you guys, it gives you guys
[1:02:51] the reason to drop them like a couple of.
[1:02:53] Because they're not as good, bro.
[1:02:54] They're really not as good as people make it seem.
[1:02:56] To they, they are still very, very good.
[1:02:58] Wait. Till Barcelona.
[1:03:00] If it was a Champions League round of 16 tomorrow, which one
[1:03:02] you picking? Easily Stalanta.
[1:03:04] Easily Atlanta. Easily.
[1:03:05] But you. Caught them at the worst form
[1:03:07] and Atlanta in the best form. We're gonna see Atlanta is gonna
[1:03:10] play Real Madrid this. It's a litmic, literally.
[1:03:12] Listening today, yeah. That's a little tough.
[1:03:15] But now a Real Madrid on the others on the other side, yeah.
[1:03:18] 3 Nothing Dominique win as per usual.
[1:03:20] Just another week in La Liga for Real Madrid.
[1:03:22] Parsa drop points Real Madrid Champions League team Yeah.
[1:03:26] You keep parading that out. Team, by the way.
[1:03:29] Like 33rd. Crazy, but this was a Jude
[1:03:31] Bellingham master class. As per usual, it's getting kind
[1:03:33] of consistent. Do you guys think Jude
[1:03:35] Bellingham is going back to the underrated status?
[1:03:38] I don't think underrated, but definitely becoming Real
[1:03:41] Madrid's most consistent. No, no.
[1:03:43] And this brother is like the closest No, because no, because
[1:03:46] a lot of those. Who do I know?
[1:03:48] No. People who are watching Real
[1:03:50] Madrid every week, it's easy to get sucked into the the Ambapes
[1:03:53] and the Vinnies, but people really know how that team is
[1:03:56] working. They know Jude Bellingham is
[1:03:58] him, like he he might actually be the player of this season so
[1:04:01] far for Real Madrid. Not crazy to say I.
[1:04:03] Don't think it's crazy to say at all.
[1:04:05] Trying to think there's no other midfielder that's playing as
[1:04:08] consistently as him like, but that day let's say it's like.
[1:04:11] And he didn't have a break this summer, either.
[1:04:13] He didn't have a break. Yeah, when she.
[1:04:14] Went to the final of the EUR straight back into the new
[1:04:17] season and he still dominated. I don't think you have anyone on
[1:04:19] the on that defensive line that you could comfortably say was
[1:04:22] has been the best this season. Like even Rudiger,
[1:04:24] unfortunately, like he's been, he's been holding it down.
[1:04:27] I think he's certainly will, but still, it's still very shaky.
[1:04:31] Real Madrid fans were attacking me on the discord for saying
[1:04:34] that Ascencio is is a not zero. I think I said get tafe level
[1:04:39] player brother. True.
[1:04:41] Many walked into the center back and draw there was 3.
[1:04:43] Nothing like once again proving that he's a good player.
[1:04:46] But let's calm down here. And I've been seeing rumors that
[1:04:49] Ascencio's going to get sold with a buyback clause.
[1:04:51] This this was later or summer. It's like a sold loan.
[1:04:54] It's going to be like, wow, Danny Carvajal got sold to Lever
[1:04:57] Cues and they got bought back by Real Madrid.
[1:04:59] Yeah, I see that. So if he turns out to be good,
[1:05:02] amazing. Real Madrid have another Spanish
[1:05:04] player that they'll have there for a decade and they don't have
[1:05:06] many Spanish players. So they'll have another Spanish
[1:05:08] player there for a decade and they'll play well.
[1:05:10] But I I just don't see it with this.
[1:05:12] You don't see the hype? No, I don't see the hype.
[1:05:14] But no, I I saw that too. They were.
[1:05:15] Sergio Ramos 2 point O. They were discussing.
[1:05:18] I I, I think that's crazy. But that's what I'm not.
[1:05:20] It's not me, bro. Yeah, yeah.
[1:05:22] I'm just saying what the what the those are the Unity is
[1:05:24] saying. Yes, exactly.
[1:05:26] First hand yeah, on the Discord, but I don't know, I feel like
[1:05:29] Real Madrid's going back to the the winning ways.
[1:05:32] Yeah, just say. One thing that was interesting
[1:05:33] to me is Arta Guler started to smash and scored.
[1:05:37] So one question I have for you guys is, should Arthur Guler be
[1:05:40] starting every single match for Real Madrid?
[1:05:43] I think so. I think he's he's a top
[1:05:46] potential top player. I think he has he's, he's
[1:05:49] warranted a start, let's just say.
[1:05:51] Angelotti needs to get away from these.
[1:05:53] Play the vets, play the the consistent guys you've had for a
[1:05:56] couple years now. Get Arda Guler in there.
[1:05:59] That's pretty much your best youth prospect right now.
[1:06:01] Pretty much. But how do you drop a Rodrigo, a
[1:06:04] Vinnie or an Mbappe for Arda Guler?
[1:06:06] Rodrigo has not been anything of the sort this season.
[1:06:09] He has not been up to par. In my opinion.
[1:06:12] Arda Guler deserves the shot to be that man, especially for Real
[1:06:16] Madrid. At at his age, the Sky's the
[1:06:18] limit pretty much, and he's showing that he has the ability
[1:06:21] to do it. I agree.
[1:06:22] He had something defensively and he's a lot better than
[1:06:24] defensively than I thought he would be.
[1:06:26] Where compared to like, I don't know, it's just it's tough
[1:06:31] because he's kind of playing in the same position as Jude
[1:06:33] Bellingham. Like he's kind of competing with
[1:06:34] the Jude Bellingham's and like you can't not play Brahim Diaz
[1:06:38] also. So like Brahim, Diaz has a
[1:06:42] reason to play also this season. Yes, he's clutch.
[1:06:44] Brahim Diaz has been clutch in moments, but that's a player
[1:06:46] that you take off the bench. 70th, 75th minute, hopefully.
[1:06:50] Andrew come into all this because.
[1:06:51] I think Andrew can't find. Space.
[1:06:53] He can't find space. He's got a. 60 million player
[1:06:56] like it's not just. But he knows the process of
[1:06:59] getting into this Real Madrid team, it wasn't going to be a
[1:07:01] for Sure Start. He needs to integrate just like
[1:07:04] Arda Guler did. But I think Arda Guler's at that
[1:07:06] point where he's showing he could score, he's showing that
[1:07:08] he fits his system. I think it's more of a matter of
[1:07:11] finding the position. You drop Bellingham, maybe board
[1:07:13] more defensively, You put Arda Guler in that campus.
[1:07:16] Once again, you're dropping your player of the season so far.
[1:07:19] No, no, not dropping on the bench.
[1:07:21] No, no, I know defensively. You're making your top.
[1:07:24] Player right now because you're trying to fit in this this 19
[1:07:28] year old player. But I think that's how good he
[1:07:29] is. He's.
[1:07:31] That good? I don't know.
[1:07:31] I don't. I don't think he's that good
[1:07:33] like that good. No, he could definitely he has
[1:07:35] the potential to be there. It's it's a question of can
[1:07:38] realm. It's can they rush?
[1:07:40] Like do they want to rush? The the the I'm studying, I'm
[1:07:44] studying my word too, but like. How good he is.
[1:07:47] It's just like, it's more like, do you want to force the the
[1:07:50] progression of these players? It's do you want to give them
[1:07:53] time to get into the system, actually play well.
[1:07:56] But at his age, what he's done with Turkey as well he deserves,
[1:08:01] he has every reason to start, in my opinion, at least for a
[1:08:03] couple games, see what he actually has.
[1:08:05] Especially given all the games that Real Madrid plays like this
[1:08:08] is the chance to play the youth like Arta Guler and actually
[1:08:12] have him score a couple of goals here and there because his value
[1:08:15] is just going up. I don't know why he's linked to
[1:08:17] loans to a Setiac club. I've been reading Hendrick on
[1:08:20] loan but. That I could see.
[1:08:22] Yeah, but Ancelotti said today he's not going on loan.
[1:08:25] Well, obviously that Hendrick, that type of guy where you you
[1:08:28] keep in the training sessions playing with some of the best
[1:08:30] players in the world, yes, like you could see that maybe he's
[1:08:33] gonna get given way more opportunity to progress and
[1:08:36] actually grow as a player. But playing playing time, like
[1:08:39] these players need playing time. Hendrick, I don't see it unless
[1:08:42] he's getting 15 minutes off the bench with Real Madrid already
[1:08:45] up and it comes to believe like I Andrick is not a decisive
[1:08:49] player right now in my opinion. I didn't even mention him, but
[1:08:52] like a Valverde Amadrich, like you came a Vinga like these are
[1:08:58] these are they Look, obviously Valverde is not a one for one
[1:09:01] switch with the Arde Guler, but he might have to play some games
[1:09:06] in that more advanced role that article may find himself in.
[1:09:09] So for me, I don't know. I don't think Article is a
[1:09:11] starter in my Madrid 11. Already, yet it's tough.
[1:09:14] I think with Ancelotti there, it's it's very tough to find
[1:09:17] like to have youngsters actually find starting comfortable
[1:09:20] starting spots unless like it's an injury crisis like with
[1:09:23] essential in the back line. Only reason why he's starting,
[1:09:26] only reason why he's playing really is because of an injury
[1:09:28] crisis. So I mean, we'll see with him.
[1:09:31] I do think that he's going to be given more opportunities as the
[1:09:33] season goes on. But time's taking the season
[1:09:36] honestly. Like we're pretty much at the
[1:09:37] halfway point. He needs more playing.
[1:09:39] Time and listen. Hopefully he gets to play
[1:09:40] tomorrow or today actually, because this is released on
[1:09:43] Tuesday. Real Madrid, Atlanta.
[1:09:46] Should we go through a Champions League prediction?
[1:09:48] T's did a bit. So I already said Atlanta's
[1:09:50] going to win. I see Atlanta win 21.
[1:09:53] Atlanta. Yeah, Roteggi's going to score
[1:09:55] against the mighty Madrid. But I think I think honestly,
[1:09:58] like Madrid this year is not your, I don't know, it's, it's
[1:10:02] tough to say because Madrid, we say this every year in Seattle
[1:10:04] and then they end up playing it. But I feel like it's actually
[1:10:07] this year, does not feel like it's the year for Madrid in
[1:10:09] Champions League. For some reason I'm leaning
[1:10:12] towards Real Madrid just because of if Vinicius plays.
[1:10:15] I think he's going to be the decider in this game because
[1:10:18] getting man marked by someone like Jim City, he's smoking him.
[1:10:21] I'm sorry, there's no other world where Jim City much?
[1:10:25] Just going to be very physical. Like Ball has to get to Vinny,
[1:10:27] Yeah. As long as you get the ball to
[1:10:29] Vinny brother, he's going to cook Dream City every single
[1:10:31] time. So I I think it's going to be a
[1:10:33] high scoring game. I'm going to go like A32, Real
[1:10:35] Madrid. I think Gasparini has shown in
[1:10:38] in these bigger games where it's like he overthinks it, where
[1:10:41] it's a, he tries way too many things and then Atlanta kind of
[1:10:44] get a little confused and you don't see that they're holding
[1:10:46] their shape well. So it's like, I don't, I, I do
[1:10:49] think Real Madrid are going to come into this mentally
[1:10:52] stronger. I think Atlanta off.
[1:10:54] Atlanta on fires. Off the RIP right now, like
[1:10:55] they're nine games unbeaten or what like nine wins in a row or
[1:10:59] whatever the stat is. So it's like they're coming in
[1:11:01] with a ton of confidence. I'm sure they think they could
[1:11:03] beat Real Madrid, but. Where is it?
[1:11:05] I don't know Talanta or it's. Oh, that?
[1:11:07] That I'm not sure. It's in Bergamo, Atlanta.
[1:11:10] Yeah, I don't. Mean they and they've been it's
[1:11:13] been a fortress at this how. That's not the Lanta fan a
[1:11:15] decade ago. Yeah.
[1:11:16] Madrid's coming over in Seattle. Yeah, I was.
[1:11:18] In city a year, 15 years. Ago are predicting you to win,
[1:11:21] Yeah. Bro what a what a move.
[1:11:24] Up. I don't know if I'll say they'll
[1:11:25] win, but like I'll probably go like 21 round.
[1:11:28] But the fact that we're debating it.
[1:11:29] I know, it's crazy. Like, I know this is what I'm
[1:11:31] supposed to be saying about Milan.
[1:11:33] Like against Real Madrid, Milan, Real Madrid, I remember I was
[1:11:35] like, oh, they're smoking us. We ended up winning.
[1:11:38] But I'm still like, I was an Atlanta fan is saying, yeah, we
[1:11:42] have a chance. There's a chance.
[1:11:44] These guys were about to get relegated in like 20-16.
[1:11:47] Yeah, but the move tide turns. Like Atlanta's quickly becoming
[1:11:51] one of my second favorite Syria teams because, yeah, the way
[1:11:54] they move is crazy. Imagine.
[1:11:56] Imagine like a Maratha behind with an Atlanta.
[1:11:59] What do you mean? Like imagine having Maratha at
[1:12:02] Atlanta. What's?
[1:12:02] His name? Perkasi, yes, that guy's a
[1:12:05] Marotta. He's he's like a Marotta light
[1:12:08] version, low key. He's the sporting director, I
[1:12:10] believe. One, if Marotta needs to give
[1:12:11] the keys to someone, give it to him.
[1:12:13] Give it to him. But next game up is Levry Cusen.
[1:12:16] Enter Kelly. What's your thoughts on this
[1:12:18] one? That's an enter with a win this
[1:12:20] weekend versus Parma. I'm.
[1:12:23] Just gonna be the sloppier 00 of all time.
[1:12:25] This, this I I do have a feeling it's gonna enter.
[1:12:28] I think for the last four games in a row in Champions League
[1:12:31] have been a one. Nothing wins.
[1:12:33] And it's away from home, so. Yeah, we're not we're not a high
[1:12:37] scoring team in the Champions League, which is shocking to me
[1:12:40] because just last year we I think we almost we either broke
[1:12:43] the record or almost broke the record for most goals in the
[1:12:45] season for Inter. So it was like it it's very
[1:12:49] difficult for me to say that like, yeah, we're gonna
[1:12:51] definitely win this game. I think Leverkusen just beat
[1:12:54] Bayern as well, so it's just. They play, they play similar to
[1:12:57] you like that total football that they move, they move
[1:13:00] players around, they move the ball around a lot.
[1:13:02] Same formation. I'm saying Thiago Mota might
[1:13:04] send a cease and desist letter at 1/2 time to both of the teams
[1:13:07] for stealing the terrorist ball that we're about to.
[1:13:10] Experience. Oh my goodness.
[1:13:10] I don't think it's going to be terrorism.
[1:13:12] I think it's going to be close. I don't think it's.
[1:13:18] No, it's 000. 00 that we're about to expect the.
[1:13:21] Rival midfield. Brian Thiago multiple that we're
[1:13:23] experiencing. It's it's gonna be one of those
[1:13:25] games that like football aficionados will enjoy.
[1:13:27] Yeah, the tacos as Hollow would say the.
[1:13:29] With a cigar and cognac, you enjoy that?
[1:13:32] I don't know, I'm gonna say 1 nothing inter.
[1:13:34] We've just been very consistent. Haven't conceded yet, but. 100.
[1:13:37] That's a knock on wood situation.
[1:13:40] On wood Spotify listeners. Knock on wood situation.
[1:13:43] I'm going to go for A10 Leverkusen.
[1:13:45] Wertz has been on fire, man of the match for a couple of games
[1:13:49] in the Champions League, so he's going to be the deciding goal.
[1:13:51] Cooked Milan. Cooked Milan.
[1:13:53] Cooked everyone. Oh man, made you guys look like
[1:13:55] a brisket. My goodness, I don't.
[1:13:57] Know that game was actually closer than it looked, but he
[1:13:59] was the man of the match. We watched that game.
[1:14:01] We watched that game. We didn't watch it.
[1:14:02] Yeah, we got cooked. No, we didn't.
[1:14:04] Next game up, Juventus City. Pala's not here to say it, but
[1:14:08] actually he texted us. Oh, he said 00.
[1:14:10] That was his prediction. Now that is Iago Moto Terorismo
[1:14:14] right there. Yeah, but if he thinks that City
[1:14:16] is not scoring against this UV defence with no Cambiasso, no
[1:14:20] Savona, no God. Everyone's injured.
[1:14:22] Bremer Yeah, brother, this is going to be a Holland.
[1:14:26] This Oh my he says thing that Hollands are going to do to the.
[1:14:29] I don't think so. They.
[1:14:30] Should not be allowed to be shown on television.
[1:14:32] No, but Holland. Holland struggles with like
[1:14:35] multiple defenders around him like.
[1:14:37] Multiple you guys not scoring. You guys not scoring, but this
[1:14:40] game, this. Game you might have to watch
[1:14:41] through LiveLeak this game. Oh man, LiveLeak where?
[1:14:44] Like, like it's just like blacklisted.
[1:14:46] All the videos that are taken off the Internet.
[1:14:49] Yeah, too gory and everything. Yeah, bro, this is like the
[1:14:53] Thiago Malta like you guys not scoring well, let's just call
[1:14:55] that Volvich will be playing. Yeah, UV is a zero.
[1:14:58] It's just I'm deciding the other.
[1:14:59] Exactly. Yeah, Volvich will be playing.
[1:15:00] If you see his, he might. He will be playing defensive
[1:15:02] midfielder. Did you see what it?
[1:15:04] Is 'cause he map Sakas the corner?
[1:15:06] The reddest part is the corner because he takes so many corners
[1:15:10] during the game. At first I thought that was a
[1:15:12] meme but that's not realized. That's actually he.
[1:15:14] Yes, he's actually on the corner.
[1:15:15] For exactly. So get ready for Volvich.
[1:15:17] Is he map? He's going to be playing central
[1:15:18] defensive midfielder. So I don't it's it's it's zero
[1:15:22] for UV. Just matter how many bad city
[1:15:26] I'm not I think. Early island hat trick.
[1:15:28] I'm going three that's. Crazy I I think that's a little
[1:15:30] disrespectful to UV and Taco multiple.
[1:15:32] There's no million name either back line.
[1:15:35] Right now I can't tell you. Right now I can't tell you.
[1:15:39] It's gonna be Kalulu Gotti and then figure out everyone.
[1:15:41] Else got injured too. Kalasa was injured as well, so
[1:15:43] I. Don't Savona's injured?
[1:15:45] I don't know. I think Savona.
[1:15:46] 'S in no Savona came on. Something about Savona injury?
[1:15:48] I'd have to check. I don't.
[1:15:49] I don't remember specifically. But Man City has been leaky in
[1:15:52] defense. I just don't see who's gonna
[1:15:53] score the goal. Scoring Chico Goods in South.
[1:15:55] Chico cuts in South is gonna have most of the ball.
[1:15:58] The the pit ball. Pitbull, Pitbull.
[1:16:01] I'll go, I'll go to Zero City. I think you may still keep
[1:16:05] somewhat in in a nice score line.
[1:16:07] Yeah, yeah. Their dignity.
[1:16:09] Yeah, I think so. It's one of those, one of those
[1:16:11] score lines where you see like in five years.
[1:16:13] Yeah, it's close. Yeah, it's close.
[1:16:14] Look at the XG bro. Anyways, last one we'll do is
[1:16:18] Dorman Barcelona. This is actually a pretty cool
[1:16:20] game because I don't know, Barcelona bad form, Dorman, I
[1:16:24] think good form the past two games.
[1:16:26] I Yeah. I don't know apparently.
[1:16:27] Not to make power rankings for Palace.
[1:16:29] I don't, I don't think people are saying Frankfurt better.
[1:16:32] But Dorman fans agreed that they are in good forms but.
[1:16:34] Look, recent years Dorman have low key Ora in Seattle.
[1:16:37] I can't cap, they've been having, I can't cap yellow and
[1:16:41] what what football does Hansi Flick very similarly play German
[1:16:45] football. So I don't think that they're
[1:16:46] they're not playing a team that they haven't seen before.
[1:16:49] Ohh. That's the thing.
[1:16:51] It's I. Think Barsa Barsa Barsa is
[1:16:53] playing a team that they might not have played someone like
[1:16:56] them, like a doorman. You don't find teams like that
[1:16:59] in La Liga. Yeah, behind the like.
[1:17:01] The manager yes, but the players themselves will not be used to
[1:17:05] having that high pressure intensity pressing.
[1:17:08] What do you mean not the German side, Byron?
[1:17:10] Just be Byron. Yeah, exactly.
[1:17:11] They'd be Byron. Like yes, but Byron Byron got
[1:17:14] chances like Harry Kane did not that like it wasn't like a a
[1:17:18] couple other bounces and that game's not for nothing Barsa
[1:17:21] that it ended or whatever mean. Highline master class like that.
[1:17:24] Game. It's Madrid.
[1:17:25] They won four nothing, but it wasn't a four nothing.
[1:17:27] I, I would, I could see Dorman scoring this game.
[1:17:29] I think it's gonna be maybe like a A21 or A31 for Barcelona.
[1:17:33] I'm going Dorman win 21 Guerasi brace.
[1:17:36] That's Guerasi Guerasi brace bro.
[1:17:38] He's been tearing it up in the Bundasi of.
[1:17:39] This I know, but you gotta go with the yada yammies.
[1:17:42] We're gonna run behind that line, not.
[1:17:43] B Rasi Dorman fans know Guerasi been a baller.
[1:17:46] He is a baller. It was linked to Milan, but we
[1:17:48] went with Morata. Ham and Morata.
[1:17:50] Yeah, I'm gonna go, let's say 3-1 Barcelona.
[1:17:55] I think the one goal from Dorman is gonna be Adeyami on a, on a
[1:17:58] fast break. He beats the highline and.
[1:18:00] Adeyami is the type to beat the highline and then trip like yes
[1:18:03] as he tied his shoes together. So he's so fast though.
[1:18:06] Yes, he's crazy fast, Yeah. Might be the fastest in the
[1:18:09] world. I don't know.
[1:18:11] Who's faster bro and bape prime? I don't know now about now
[1:18:14] prime. Vinny's faster than Adeyam.
[1:18:16] Vinny is fast. I forgot about.
[1:18:17] Him. You've never seen a Chico
[1:18:18] Contessau game? Bro, he he runs like this.
[1:18:21] That's. Bro Timo Werner.
[1:18:23] Timo Werner. Fast, Fast.
[1:18:25] But Walker made him look fast. Walker.
[1:18:27] Not anymore. Jeremy Frimpong.
[1:18:30] He's up there. But yeah, whatever sales gonna
[1:18:33] be exciting this week. Sales is movie this week, but
[1:18:36] yeah, those are predictions as. There's less games like now all
[1:18:39] these games mean like a lot. More they're.
[1:18:41] Called. Not you're actually looking at
[1:18:43] like maybe not making the playoffs.
[1:18:45] But if they don't, they, if they make a playoff, they're still
[1:18:47] cooked because you're, you're gonna be facing.
[1:18:49] Well, no. Yes, because you're still
[1:18:51] playing Madrid. Playing two more games, or a
[1:18:53] game more than everyone else, That makes talking.
[1:18:55] But they can still like they can still draw someone like a
[1:18:57] sporting who right now is in terrible form since I'm and left
[1:19:00] and who would have thought what me Real Madrid, Real Madrid Gil
[1:19:05] Koresh, obviously a son of Ameren, by the way, now that
[1:19:09] it's exposing him. But a lot of sporting fans
[1:19:12] already want their new manager sacked.
[1:19:14] I've been seeing. Who is the Do you know the new
[1:19:16] manager? Jao Pereira, I think he's
[1:19:18] called. He was the That sounds like a
[1:19:20] Portuguese. No, that's like a Portuguese
[1:19:22] name. Generous.
[1:19:23] That's an interim manager if I've ever worked Go Pereira.
[1:19:27] But yeah, I think it's, I think it's gonna be interesting.
[1:19:30] Yeah, yeah, we had a couple of movies.
[1:19:32] We're missing Man United in the Seattle this year, so.
[1:19:34] Who you guys playing in the in what are you conference?
