[1:11] more about it, but yeah. He had an eventful weekend.
[1:14] Yep, Palace bad. I had an eventful.
[1:16] Weekend I went to New York. And came back with something
[1:19] else though. Yeah, came came back with a
[1:20] little bacteria. God damn.
[1:22] No, I'm I'm relatively cooked at the moment.
[1:25] It was it was tough to get out of bed for this podcast but
[1:28] needed to get it done 'cause. Got it, Got it.
[1:30] Already late. It was already late.
[1:32] What the hell happened? Super.
[1:32] Yeah, yeah, I. Don't know.
[1:33] I just got sick. I just got super sick, fever and
[1:36] chill like that. Like this morning I'm like,
[1:37] well, I have to record a podcast today.
[1:39] I was. Like fuck the dread.
[1:42] But no, we're here. I fell asleep during that
[1:45] Liverpool, Newcastle game. I was trying to pay attention.
[1:47] No, I was trying to pay attention.
[1:48] But you know when you have that bad fever that you're sweating,
[1:51] you're you're sweating. And I was watching it while
[1:53] lying down sideways and I'm trying to lock in.
[1:54] I'm like, you guys get crazy. You know, yeah, like this is a
[1:58] crazy game. You want to go into football
[2:00] right away or what's the Bobs thing?
[2:02] Anything. Anything special tell.
[2:03] Us about New York. Yeah, well, New York.
[2:07] What about New York? Were you able to see your eyes
[2:08] open? No, I checked, I checked.
[2:11] It takes. Like 400.
[2:12] Yeah, yeah, yeah. I really, I really wanted to and
[2:14] I didn't really like, I, I didn't remember.
[2:16] I didn't clock in. It wasn't clock.
[2:17] It wasn't like the US Open. the US Open was like accessible like
[2:21] I was near. Yeah, it's, it's it's, it's not
[2:24] that close to Manhattan. It's close, but you still need
[2:26] to drive or I guess take public transport.
[2:28] But I would have driven ahead of my car, by the way, first.
[2:31] That was the longest drive I've done, like solo along.
[2:34] So that's crazy. How was it like it was six hours
[2:36] and 1/2? Yeah, it was like 6 1/2 hours
[2:37] because I was staying in financial districts, so I had to
[2:39] do all of my hats. And once I got there, that was
[2:41] actually the worst part. Yeah, 'cause like the driving
[2:43] was what? I love that shit.
[2:45] Remember when we went to the Club World Cup?
[2:46] I found out I was driving into New York at the Yeah, I don't
[2:49] know. I put all the classics, I put
[2:51] the Billy Joel New York song, I put I put all the classics in
[2:54] natural. But then once those 3 songs go
[2:56] away and you're stuck on fucking traffic on the FDR whatever
[3:00] drive it was 'cause I had to go all the way around, like the
[3:06] completely around it, 'cause I think I was taking in the George
[3:08] and there was that bus accident too.
[3:10] Did you guys see that the New York there?
[3:13] Was a New York casino. It was a from back from Niagara
[3:16] Falls. Could it be and and they went in
[3:17] a ravine? Yeah, there was this big.
[3:18] Something crazy like that. Accident, so I think an
[3:20] alternate route. It happened while I was driving.
[3:23] Oh no. Yeah, it was crazy, but New
[3:25] York, NY was awesome. I mean, like this time I stayed
[3:29] in a place where I kind of usually don't stay.
[3:31] So I saw a different side of New York in the financial district.
[3:34] There's like much less homeless people.
[3:36] You don't really see that in the Financial District.
[3:39] The places aren't as jam packed. Yeah.
[3:41] Like the restaurants were like, chill.
[3:42] Like you, you have maybe like four or five other tables at
[3:44] 10:00 and you're calm and walking around that night.
[3:48] Like, you feel like it's not like there's groups and people
[3:51] running around. Whatever.
[3:51] Like, not when we went. When we went, it was like we
[3:53] were. Calm in New York is not not 2
[3:55] words I'd put in the same. Sentence I was super calm in the
[3:57] financial district. That's sick.
[3:59] Yeah, I feel like that's where the bridge is, right?
[4:02] Like that's. The Brooklyn Bridge, Yeah, I was
[4:04] staying like 2 minutes from the. Brooklyn, yeah, Yeah, that's a
[4:06] nice area. That's some Bronx still stuff
[4:08] right there, you see. I love that.
[4:09] Shit, I walk. I walked the Brooklyn Bridge for
[4:11] the first time and then, yeah. And then in Bronx, I not the
[4:15] Bronx, sorry, The Brooklyn Bridge.
[4:17] I walked the Brooklyn Bridge, Yeah.
[4:18] And then when I was in Brooklyn, I just walked around and there's
[4:21] like really nice stuff, like near the water.
[4:23] And then I went to a restaurant in Brooklyn and that's.
[4:25] It Thai restaurant, yeah. That's perfect.
[4:27] Yeah, that's perfect. Yeah, it's called Bote.
[4:29] Bote. It was mad really in mid yeah,
[4:32] 'cause I checking the menu online, I'm seeing arabiata,
[4:35] Cara, bonara, like I'm I'm seeing guanciale on the menu.
[4:39] You know what they're doing. And I'm looking in pictures and
[4:41] I'm seeing like I'm seeing bottles of alcohol that like I
[4:44] know that are Italian, like only in Italian when all these
[4:47] bottles and, and buy a hundred of them, put them on a shelf.
[4:49] But have a new ball. But then I get there.
[4:51] I'm like, yeah, this is Loki, just an Italian.
[4:53] This is just a Americanized Italian place gimmick.
[4:56] It was a given. Yeah.
[4:57] Prop. Juanchali was straight bacon.
[5:00] Just bacon. It was just, but that's what
[5:01] they do. Like unfortunately, like you
[5:03] have to kind of get with the American cuisine.
[5:06] You can't just bring the Italian like authentic stuff to the
[5:10] Americans 'cause they they won't enjoy it as much, you know?
[5:12] It depends. Yeah.
[5:13] Because then they feel like, I guess they don't feel like they
[5:14] get their money's worth. That's what they don't know.
[5:15] Yeah. Pizzas.
[5:17] They don't know. They don't know shit, bro.
[5:18] You tell them you're eating a fucking out of you have to like
[5:21] Guanchali. They're like, wow, yeah, And
[5:23] then they're just eating just bacon with our tomato sauce at
[5:26] that .0. My God, New York has.
[5:28] Some bro the calamari was oh brother, it was too perfect.
[5:32] It was perfect. Perfect circles.
[5:34] But but remember that Italian restaurant?
[5:36] We went like all all that was good, that was amazing.
[5:39] That was amazing, that was an Italian restaurant.
[5:40] It was. Waitress was Italian too.
[5:41] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Food was good.
[5:45] It was great. Yeah, food was great.
[5:47] New York Slit. Yeah, no, that was awesome.
[5:49] But yeah, yeah. I miss New York.
[5:53] What happened? New York's great man, yeah.
[5:56] Great city, let's get the football.
[5:58] Wait one SEC. I think first things on the menu
[6:00] though, just for everyone that purchased merch is why I figured
[6:03] I would just do it here. Yeah.
[6:05] But obviously thank you guys for the insane support you guys
[6:08] showed us for the merchandise. The amount of orders that came
[6:11] in like it was it was such a privilege packing them.
[6:14] Like I felt good packing our own stuff and like putting the names
[6:17] and everything. So I know definitely a bunch of
[6:21] people got their orders already, but there has been some like
[6:24] because of the, the tariffs and stuff like that, there have been
[6:27] some delays with the US packages, but we're in contact
[6:30] with like our distributors, we're going in contact with the
[6:32] shipping companies to make sure that you guys get your packages.
[6:35] So if you guys are just wondering what's happening
[6:38] there, we're working as hard as we can to try to get your
[6:40] packages there. But again, thank you guys for
[6:43] the continuous support. Craziest spot that we've gotten
[6:46] merch from. I I'm we've gone.
[6:48] We've gone. Australia in terms of distance
[6:51] or like exoticness, there's exoticness.
[6:54] So in terms of distance, obviously Australia, but
[6:56] exoticness I would go like like. Checha.
[6:59] Yeah, bro, either that Poland, Croatia.
[7:02] Croatia. There's a lot of Croatia though.
[7:04] Yeah, a lot of Poland too. Yeah, a lot of Poland.
[7:07] Very surprised at the Vatska. That's Croatia I believe.
[7:11] But yeah, honestly, like. Victor, Victor, Victor.
[7:14] It's a Wican. Even a yellow slaw that we
[7:19] packed. Yellow slaw.
[7:21] Yellow slaw. Yellow Slav.
[7:22] Yellow Slav. That the amount of crazy names
[7:25] the amount of. Guys, we we, we package this
[7:27] shit. Like, yeah, yeah, we're doing
[7:29] it. There's.
[7:29] Lots of external person. I see every single one of you
[7:32] guys, your names that orders. And then like we're writing on
[7:34] the note, like we, we know exactly who ordered what.
[7:36] You could probably tell me like, like if I tell you, Shin, you're
[7:39] gonna know. You're gonna know.
[7:40] You probably know where it is. You probably know where Shin's
[7:43] address is. That's that's I.
[7:45] Know where Shin lives. That's the US donor there.
[7:47] A lot of US Dons. Oh my God, the amount of US
[7:49] Dons. Trey.
[7:51] Trey. Trey Trey was the first person
[7:54] to buy merch from Box. 1st order yeah, which was insane yeah.
[7:58] I don't have that much faith in US right off the bat.
[8:00] Right off the bat, first time selling, 3 seconds and.
[8:03] Boom, done. Website wasn't even.
[8:05] Website was barely. I don't.
[8:06] I don't even think I was on the website.
[8:08] Yeah. And he already bought.
[8:09] That's crazy. Yeah.
[8:10] Yeah, and I was talking to a couple of guys on DMS with on
[8:13] our box to box account, they were showing pictures, the
[8:15] packaging a couple of them loved did so.
[8:17] Fantastic. It's really a good experience.
[8:19] They got there in one piece, I think.
[8:21] I think a couple of them were Canadian.
[8:23] The other one I don't know. If it was us, I doubt it.
[8:26] If. Many of our US packages.
[8:28] Arrived US packages. From what I know, they're over
[8:31] the border, but in terms of like received, I'm still waiting on
[8:36] the confirmations, but I've been speaking with the distributors.
[8:40] So like we're, we're trying our best to like make sure everyone
[8:42] gets their stuff. Yep.
[8:44] But just we do. Our best on this side, on this
[8:46] side of the border, we do our best at packaging them like as
[8:48] quickly as we could. Do these the new tariff stuff
[8:50] man brutal. Why don't we to start?
[8:53] What a week to start. Even the timing?
[8:55] Impeccable. Oh.
[8:56] Box to box timing never been so never been so box to box Jinx,
[9:00] right? There why you're saying it
[9:00] started this week? Started this week.
[9:02] New, new tariffs. It's not new tariffs.
[9:04] It's no. No, now, now, now it's official.
[9:06] Now it's official anything because before it was, if you
[9:09] sent a product that was $800.00 of value or less, there was no,
[9:13] there was no duties or tariffs on it.
[9:15] So we were able to send to US no problem.
[9:17] And we're talking Canada to. US.
[9:18] So now it's everything on the board doesn't matter if the
[9:22] thing's worth a dollar or $799. Yeah, it's you're getting
[9:25] tariffed based on the the origin country.
[9:29] Country of origin of the yeah, yeah.
[9:30] So brutal. Yeah, yeah, we're, we're trying
[9:32] to adjust. We're trying to make sure that
[9:33] like everyone gets accommodated and try our best, you know so.
[9:37] But great introduction to merch. Yeah, and shipping.
[9:40] Yeah, we don't. Know how much shipping can cost
[9:42] the European countries or Australia for that matter.
[9:45] I, I think we were fair with the, with the shipping effort.
[9:48] And then it's like, you saw what we're what we have to pay, and
[9:50] we're like, oh, damn, yeah. Cause 'cause the shipping that
[9:52] you guys see on the on the website is, is not the shipping
[9:55] that that's actually paid. Yeah, like shipping to Australia
[9:58] doesn't cost $15. No, I wish it cost $15.
[10:01] I mean. Shipping them like this.
[10:02] Yeah. So like obviously we're bearing
[10:03] up, but we're just trying to make sure everyone gets a good
[10:05] product at the end of the day and we're happy you guys like it
[10:07] so. Yeah, send us pictures.
[10:09] Yeah, send us. Pictures on Instagram tag us if
[10:11] you post on your story so we can repost that.
[10:13] Fox. We really want to see you guys
[10:15] wearing this shit. Yeah, sure, make sure that fits
[10:18] nice. A Hondo P.
[10:19] But I've been loving my like, I've been there personally, I've
[10:21] wore it in New York. I was, I was loving the the bit
[10:24] of everything. Yeah, bro.
[10:25] Shit's fucking gas. No, it's just gas.
[10:27] Every every compliment I've gotten so far I was taking like.
[10:29] Pictures in front of in front of the New York Stock Exchange.
[10:33] Oh, money. Money talk with the hoodie and
[10:36] well no because I was low key modeling that shit because I had
[10:39] the white tee underneath and the hoodie on top and somebody
[10:42] walked by. Classic classic New York style
[10:45] and the compliment in my 5th. You got that?
[10:49] Yeah, yeah. But enough about merch, let's
[10:53] get. Let's get into the nitty gritty.
[10:55] Yeah, 'cause we have a lot of games to talk about and this
[10:58] fever is getting a little bit higher every minute.
[11:01] First game Liverpool, Newcastle 32.
[11:03] Liverpool is like a 90 hundredth minute around there, 111th.
[11:08] That's a dagger, right? Yeah, it was something crazy.
[11:10] 101st minute. Could it be?
[11:11] Yeah, something crazy like that. By Rio I I how do you we just
[11:16] call him Rio. It's called Rio.
[11:17] His last name is to call him. Names on the back, bro, Yeah.
[11:20] He puts Rio pretty. Drip.
[11:21] It's actually Drip, bro. He's he's nuts.
[11:23] Yeah. He's actually like, he knows how
[11:25] to dribble through like insane places on the field.
[11:28] Like this guy's a special. No, but the.
[11:31] Goal was the goal was almost just the goal was a a way to
[11:35] commemorate that like like his hard work that he's he's been
[11:38] putting in for Liverpool because the goal wasn't necessarily his
[11:42] doing. I think it was more like Sobo's
[11:44] lie. Yeah, crazy.
[11:45] I do by Sobo's lie completely sold everybody, the defenders,
[11:48] the goalie. So but that was just kind of
[11:50] like a like here you go this a little bit more motivation to
[11:53] keep pushing. How does the.
[11:55] I think he's like, he's 16. Yeah, he's 16.
[11:57] He's like, he hasn't even turned 17.
[11:58] I'm I'm loving these these brother Rio Dalman Maneri now,
[12:03] like there's Ballers coming up the new generation.
[12:06] And honestly, this guy I was looking at the training videos
[12:09] on on Instagram, he had posted something Bro.
[12:12] This guy's technique is ridiculous.
[12:13] Like both feet dribbles like crazy.
[12:17] I think this guy might be one of the best out of out of all
[12:20] those. It's just it's so insane to see
[12:22] such young players with that level of technique.
[12:25] Like you wonder where that where they learned it, but it's like.
[12:28] It's natural to them. It's natural, man.
[12:30] It's and the fact that you're like thrown into this, like
[12:33] listen, you're playing away, you're playing at a, at a very
[12:36] hostile ground. You just conceded two goals.
[12:39] You coughed up a 2 nothing lead with a man up.
[12:41] And the momentum switched to the Newcastle.
[12:42] Momentum was all Newcastle the last 10 minutes and to and to
[12:45] have that composure listen that couch potatoes will tell you
[12:48] that that's an easy goal regardless, you know, but in the
[12:50] moment, like as a player, you you understand that that that's
[12:54] a tough goal to score. Yeah, especially at that age.
[12:56] So, but very big kudos to him. Overall, Liverpool conversations
[13:01] must be had about Liverpool. Liverpool have looked the
[13:04] shakiest defensively they've looked since that last clop like
[13:08] I mean towards the end of that clop tenure.
[13:10] That's that's when they looked pretty shaky, but it's not
[13:12] looking great. Yeah, they're relying on they're
[13:15] relying on Subs to win them games like in que as a last time
[13:18] Rio this game they were up a man for since what the 30 something
[13:22] minute Gordon got that red, which by the way, stupid, stupid
[13:25] red card, but these games should be this.
[13:28] Usually Liverpool's MO is just complete, comfortable, smooth
[13:31] sailing into a win. Yeah, it's not normal.
[13:33] It's weird because last season they were kind of solid like
[13:36] defensively. I I never really looked at them
[13:38] say like, brother, the the lineup is the same.
[13:41] You have yeah, couple of changes.
[13:43] I mean, you missed you missed Trent.
[13:45] Now he's not there anymore. But I think it's more of a
[13:47] system change if anything. Like Arne slot is kind of
[13:51] adjusting to his his new way of playing.
[13:54] He has new introductions of like a words.
[13:56] He has to fit them all together. So I think it's only normal
[13:59] they're going to leak in some goals.
[14:00] But I don't know, it's kind of weird.
[14:02] I feel like especially Newcastle without a striker getting two
[14:05] goals man down. Yeah, I didn't.
[14:08] I don't know, yeah. You have to think if Isak was
[14:10] playing today. Yeah, Newcastle went the other
[14:14] way. Changes a lot.
[14:15] Where was Isak? Was he in?
[14:17] Was he? He wasn't in the stadium.
[14:19] He's not. He's not there.
[14:20] He's not part of it. I wonder what he was doing
[14:21] during that game. Apparently he went to Saudi for
[14:24] a meeting where they're actually discussing reintegrating him,
[14:28] but I think it's all rumors for now.
[14:30] I think he's still trying to force a move out.
[14:32] We'll see what happens, but I don't know.
[14:34] Yeah, I know. It was just honestly, I don't
[14:37] think Kirkus himself had a great game.
[14:39] There were times where he got bodied.
[14:40] There were times where he got beat off the ball cornate.
[14:44] Like listen, I I'm an FPL owner so I'm keeping a close eye.
[14:47] This guy is not having the the greatest start to the season so
[14:50] far so. Well, listen, even like Slot
[14:53] didn't play a right, I mean, Connor Bradley was fit, I think
[14:56] at least, but he started on the bench.
[14:58] He ended up playing Selba's light right back, and even
[15:00] Curtis Jones was kind of moving in that area.
[15:02] So I think it's literally just a system change and it's going to
[15:06] take time to adopt, but they'll figure it out.
[15:09] They're attacking forces too Good.
[15:10] But it just seemed more more solid, like you had less anxiety
[15:15] about it last season where it's like even when they went down,
[15:17] you're like, OK, that whatever, it's a heck up and they'll get
[15:20] back into it. But this game was kind of like,
[15:22] dude, are they actually going to choke this?
[15:23] Like the you kind of had that feeling and they almost did.
[15:25] Newcastle the last 10 minutes, they were trying to feed that
[15:27] ball to Dan Byrne for I don't know how many times.
[15:30] So yeah, that was that was kind of interesting to see.
[15:33] But but Liverpool, at the end of the day, three, two, they end up
[15:36] they end up snagging 3 points. But honestly, their top players
[15:39] did not have a good game. Yeah, at the end of the day,
[15:41] they did not have a good game. Salad didn't have a good game.
[15:43] Gokpal once again, who assists quietly.
[15:45] My FPL asset last. Season.
[15:47] He ended this season sleeper. I this is a double season
[15:49] investment because last year I invested in, I'm like this guy
[15:51] will become a Liverpool starter. Yeah, took the entire season
[15:54] last year to for that to happen. And now I got him again and two
[15:57] assists today. He's been.
[15:58] He's been cooking, even if he was cooking.
[16:00] He must have been, I'm trying to think the man of the match, I
[16:04] think. I think he was up there.
[16:06] It's a shout. It's a shout for Liverpool for
[16:09] sure. He was great.
[16:09] Like every touch was good. He was Tripper.
[16:12] He was getting destroyed. Yeah.
[16:13] Oh yeah bro, he destroyed him so.
[16:15] I thought Tripper was supposed to leave Newcastle?
[16:17] I know. I don't know what happened
[16:18] there. I.
[16:18] Forgot he was still there. I'm going to be off, yeah.
[16:20] It's true but I mean Salah still ends up getting his goal.
[16:24] He can never. Got assist.
[16:25] I still got FPL points. I think that.
[16:27] Assist a goal. Assist.
[16:28] I don't think he scored. No.
[16:30] No, it was a. Salad an assist?
[16:32] Yeah, I got an assist and it was to Rio, but which?
[16:34] Which, yeah, which so was like, probably should have gotten that
[16:37] assist just as much. As yeah, that's I even said that
[16:38] to her. I was also again like they
[16:39] should give so was like an assist for that because that was
[16:41] insane just. Cooking but.
[16:43] I could take another goal. Yeah, I could take another goal
[16:46] where that guy, that guy already like this.
[16:50] If I'm isak watching this I'm like damn.
[16:53] There could have been me. This future girl found the
[16:55] better man. Yeah.
[16:56] Or this future girl found the man that suits her and my old.
[17:00] Well, actually, no. Newcastle is lacking A striker
[17:03] they need. His ex is still missing her.
[17:05] His ex is still calling. Yeah, still calling because.
[17:07] The ex ain't the New Girl. Yeah, the ex ain't the New Girl.
[17:09] That's what it is. So it's it's tough, but he did
[17:12] miss a couple chances, but overall.
[17:14] His link up play just compensates for it, yeah.
[17:16] I think he's great at every facet of the play.
[17:19] All rounder. I'm gonna need to agenda switch
[17:21] quite quite quickly I think, because.
[17:23] Like if I was not here. Yeah, no, I'll tell him because
[17:26] I I think I. Could take a train as left the
[17:28] station. And it's two games.
[17:30] I still don't want to invest my stocks completely, but something
[17:34] that I haven't seen from him, at least in the past is, is
[17:37] happening like he's he's looking more physical in the Prem and he
[17:40] was, I mean, Dan Byrne is a big guy.
[17:42] Dan Byrne and Char are, they're big guys.
[17:44] And he was muscling him out. He was linking up well and he
[17:48] got the goal. So honestly, you can't hate on
[17:50] that for 95,000,000 right now. He's looking worth it.
[17:53] As long as he keeps scoring goals.
[17:55] Yeah, three goals in two games is already amazing.
[17:57] The real conversation is Florian Verts because Florian Verts Loki
[18:02] getting ridiculously hated on on Twitter.
[18:05] Like a bit too much, a little bit too much.
[18:07] And I'm the and I was the 1st and I was the conductor of the
[18:11] verse hate train. I was the fucking conductor and
[18:14] I told everyone get on board. Nobody got on board the train
[18:17] left the motherfucking station. 222 weeks.
[18:19] Ago buy their tickets. Bro, no, the train's gone.
[18:21] You guys can't hop on the wave, bro, I know.
[18:23] You look at his fat mob things and you see one of four
[18:25] successful dribbles, 13 touches in the opponent's box and you
[18:28] look at all these fucking weird stats.
[18:31] Verts is getting overheated right now.
[18:32] The train is returning back to the station.
[18:34] Yeah, I don't know. I'm just waiting for that double
[18:36] O 7 to hit. Then my agenda gets checked and
[18:38] then I'm gonna change. Well.
[18:39] I can't, they can't. You got an assist the first
[18:41] game? Yeah, that little cheeky pass.
[18:45] Yeah, that. That's true that.
[18:46] Pass. I'm still fully invested.
[18:47] I think he's a baller, but you could tell the difference in in
[18:51] intensity. You could see that he's still
[18:53] trying to adjust in in how fast Liverpool play and not only like
[18:57] even the opponents, like Newcastle was running at them.
[18:59] Imagine like a a midfield of Bruno Tonali and Joel Linton and
[19:04] you you're just stuck in the middle of that.
[19:06] Like it's very intense. And I think he's still trying to
[19:08] adjust to that, but I think he's a baller.
[19:10] He'll he'll. Be the Bundeslig is ass bro.
[19:13] Huh. The Bundeslig is ass.
[19:14] You saw the highlights, people are playing free flowing.
[19:17] Yeah, after, after watching, we'll talk about it.
[19:19] We'll probably talk about it later, the Bayern 60, but we're
[19:21] just watching the highlights of that in the Frankfurt game, bro.
[19:24] Motherfuckers do whatever they want in the Bundesliga.
[19:27] Everyone eats in the Bundesliga. Everyone eats.
[19:28] Everyone eats. Especially a big against the the
[19:30] big dogs. Like, I mean, yeah, they expect
[19:32] Leipzig to be a bit better. If you're like a like a marmoush
[19:35] or someone like that. Like you look?
[19:37] Good for you. TK, you look good.
[19:39] Yeah. It's just about, it's just about
[19:41] if it's like it's real or fake when you say when you leave, you
[19:43] know? So that's usually the
[19:45] conversation out of the Bundesliga.
[19:46] But yeah, I don't know. Yeah, we've got a lot of games
[19:49] to talk about, so we're going to move on to Man City.
[19:51] Spurs 20. Underrated game this was.
[19:55] This was fun to watch. It was an eye opener.
[19:57] Very eye opening, yeah. Remember last week, the Rolly
[19:59] test? The Rolly test came out man.
[20:01] City rolly test. Man City and the Spurs Rolly
[20:03] test both were this week. The diamond testers were out,
[20:06] Yeah, and one of them came. One of them came out negative
[20:09] it. Wasn't those team?
[20:10] We did talk about this? That's the good shit.
[20:13] Because it was two teams that last week we weren't sure.
[20:15] They both played. They both played games.
[20:17] I said he played Wolves, yeah, Spurs played Burnley.
[20:19] Yeah, we weren't sure. Like if it was just a matter of
[20:21] playing a shitter. And yeah, Spurs look pretty.
[20:24] Listen, Thomas Frank, absolute wonder job he's doing so far.
[20:28] Are you on that train? Pause.
[20:30] Listen, I I've never been off the train, you know what I mean?
[20:33] I never, I never called him out and said I didn't like the
[20:35] signing. Thought.
[20:36] It was a decent, decent signing, decent appointment and like
[20:39] right now it's it's a fantastic match Yeah, for those two.
[20:44] They fit so well together. And honestly, what he's done
[20:46] with, like, Rich Allison kudos as well.
[20:49] Like, that midfield seems rejuvenated.
[20:51] That defensive line seems a lot more sturdier than it than it
[20:54] did last season. Yeah.
[20:55] They just seem much more structured.
[20:58] And they they kind of showed that against Man City, to Man
[21:00] City coming in with like an extremely attacking lineup and
[21:03] it did not pay off at all. So Pep, wake the fuck up dawg.
[21:06] Pep has to lock in these lineups are these lineups are
[21:09] ridiculous. Choose an 11 and just play that
[21:12] 11 until they consistently win. He's never done better.
[21:15] He's never done it better. But he keeps trying to change
[21:17] things when bro, if something's working, keep it.
[21:20] Like keep it working or trying to build on it.
[21:22] How do you wanna just keep rotating, rotating, rotating?
[21:25] It's you can do that when the guys that you're like rotating
[21:28] into the system or the Gundagans and the and the Kovacicches that
[21:30] have been played in millions of systems and know, know how to
[21:33] play different types of ball. Ryan Cherokee and Tejani
[21:36] Reindeers. Tejani Reindeers is still young.
[21:38] Like I I put him in the same pool as Cherokee.
[21:41] These guys like tactically, you cannot just tell them one game
[21:44] play as a mezzalo, the next game plays a Tereko Arista.
[21:46] Like every game is playing a different type of thing.
[21:48] Yeah, just let let the 11 players play one type of ball
[21:51] and let them improve on that. That's what Thomas Frank doesn't
[21:53] very well in my opinion. He doesn't play some overly
[21:57] complex football. It's a 4231.
[21:59] He played the same one with with Brentford.
[22:02] It's just. He's flexible too.
[22:03] He's very flexible. You know, he could change the
[22:05] the formation depending on how the game is going.
[22:08] Even Pep, though, he's he's flexible.
[22:10] But there are, yeah, I do agree with what you're saying 'cause
[22:12] like, I was looking at that lineup and I see Marmouche left
[22:15] wing and yeah, he could play there, but Marmoush left wing is
[22:19] is is a weird fit because. You're not going to get the full
[22:23] 100%. No, you're not, Marmoush I.
[22:25] Find he's more in a in a striker position, that's when he excels
[22:27] like, you know, he's a good finisher and you're putting him
[22:30] left wing where he's a bit isolated and he needs a little
[22:32] bit link up a bit more. So yeah, I see what you're
[22:35] saying and. Like Oscar Bob and Rico Lewis,
[22:37] dude, those guys were not playing in the Club World Cup.
[22:40] Yeah, they're both of them. Like not only do you change 1,
[22:43] you could have kept either Fold in or Matthias Nunez which were
[22:45] both good in the Club World Cup. Especially Matthias Nunez.
[22:48] Matthias Nunez was a great player in the Club World Cup.
[22:51] You rotate both of them out and no shit you're getting
[22:55] inconsistencies in my opinion. Yeah, and and honestly, like,
[22:58] it's weird because I feel like the sentiment of this game could
[23:00] have like been just as easily the opposite because there was a
[23:04] lot of times 00 where, well, Man City had chances, like had a had
[23:08] a pretty much no one around him, just one on with the goalie and
[23:13] he gets stonewalled. Yeah, the.
[23:15] Yeah, the. Halloween dribble through ball
[23:18] to Madam that. Was nuts by Halloween.
[23:20] It was fantastic, bro. I was watching.
[23:21] I got up on my feet. I'm a madam's owner, by the way.
[23:23] Yeah, bro, what a week with with Cheddicky was like, like losing
[23:28] possession, holding onto the ball too long.
[23:30] Wasn't wasn't distributing well. Like it just, it seemed like a
[23:33] like, again, it was like a melt, like just a mishmash of players
[23:36] that are were extremely technical but not in the
[23:38] positions that they could excel in.
[23:40] Yeah. And it seemed like nobody knew
[23:41] what they needed to do. No one knew like, OK, am I going
[23:44] to play more defensive? Am I going to like track back?
[23:47] Am I going to be doing this? Am I going to be doing that?
[23:48] And. They're all super talented.
[23:49] They're extremely talented. Super talented, that's Pep's
[23:51] profile is super talented technical players.
[23:55] And I have a question for you guys.
[23:56] If Pep and Thomas Frank swapped roles, what do you think the
[23:59] score of that game would be? So Pep was Pep was managing
[24:03] Spurs and Thomas Frank would be managing City.
[24:07] Because I know my answer. Really.
[24:08] You would say Frank. I would say Thomas Frank.
[24:10] What city would destroy Spurs Pep?
[24:12] So you're saying Frank is a better manager on PEP?
[24:14] Technically, at the moment in 2025, Pep has.
[24:17] Not on Man City TV. Pep has not proved to me proved
[24:20] me otherwise in over a year and a half, in my opinion.
[24:22] That's that's kind of heinous to say.
[24:23] I'm not going to lie. Listen, I'll give Frank his
[24:25] flowers, but I'm not there yet. I'm trying to do a combined 11
[24:29] in my head and I I do think like defensively Man City is it's
[24:34] weird to say because they just bought like I ignori they they a
[24:37] couple of years ago they bought Guardiol, but he didn't play.
[24:40] So right now, that defense is kind of all spurs.
[24:43] Players are at the disposal of Pep.
[24:46] Yeah, even starting Trafford too.
[24:47] Trafford just getting a disaster cause the first home game and he
[24:50] looked extremely nervous. That poor pass to Ruben Diaz
[24:55] that led to the goal, Yeah, to the Brendan Johnson goal, yeah,
[24:58] was that was like that looked like Sunday, Sunday league
[25:01] stuff. Seems like Don rumors.
[25:03] On his way in on. His way, I don't think it's
[25:05] coincidence that like the same day or like the the day after a
[25:08] couple hours after it came out that like more rumors don't a
[25:11] rumor to Man City and all that so.
[25:12] They need a goal. That's the thing.
[25:14] They. Need a they need a goal.
[25:15] He just spent 25,000,000 on Trafford.
[25:16] So what are you, 404040 or? Something heinous.
[25:19] I think it was 25. I'm not exactly sure.
[25:21] About you, right That 40 would be agreed.
[25:23] I feel like 40 would have. But he was spectacular last year
[25:26] in the championship. Yeah, it'll take time.
[25:28] Like, listen, it's his first real home home game, so.
[25:31] But the thing with City is you shouldn't be buying projects to
[25:34] start for your team like you shouldn't be buying a project
[25:36] goalkeeper. And then I didn't throw him in.
[25:38] Yeah, like buying like finished product goalkeeper.
[25:41] I don't know what's going on with Anderson.
[25:43] He looks a little bit in distraught.
[25:45] I find again you see the. Little racks don't They pushed
[25:47] him out. Didn't they push him out for?
[25:49] I mean, from what it's looks like on our end, no fucking
[25:52] reason I don't. Know.
[25:53] It didn't seem like I don't. I really don't know why.
[25:55] I think someone said it. We were saying like they've
[25:57] never watched Ederson just put up a shitty game, Yeah.
[26:00] Like he's had howlers but the overall games have always been
[26:03] decent. He yes, turnovers and stuff like
[26:05] that, but. But that's because you're
[26:07] playing so much with your feet. You're you're bound.
[26:09] Yeah, was was Ederson at the point where he had to get pushed
[26:13] out of Manchester City? I don't not sure.
[26:14] I don't think so. I feel like in a game like this,
[26:16] especially like throwing Trafford in to to play from the
[26:19] back with the Spurs pressing you like.
[26:22] It all originates from Pep not starting Ederson after making
[26:26] one mistake last season. Do you remember that?
[26:28] Yeah, I guess so. Killed his confidence, came
[26:30] back, play like shit for a few games and getting rotated in and
[26:33] out. Anderson gone.
[26:34] Confidence, but that. Now there's a mental.
[26:36] Game. Yeah, it is.
[26:37] Because now like, imagine a Sherkey who maybe didn't have a
[26:40] good game or even reindeers. Reindeers wasn't that good.
[26:42] Imagine next game. Yeah, but they know that.
[26:44] OK, Well listen, if I don't start, chances are I'll have an
[26:46] opportunity to get subdued. But it's the mental, it's the
[26:50] mental fortitude, like you're going to have to fight for that
[26:52] spot again, which is good to have like a competitor, but.
[26:56] I don't know, it's it's really tough because again, if you
[26:58] can't find consistent form with these players and you're just
[27:01] going to have these on and off periods where some of the
[27:03] players in the team are on form, some of them are still cold.
[27:06] Some of them are match fit. Like if you have a consistent 11
[27:09] or at least a consistent rotation of, I don't know, 1515
[27:13] players or whatnot. Yeah.
[27:14] Then all those players will have minutes.
[27:16] All those players will will be match fit.
[27:18] They will have the experience, they will be be able to get into
[27:21] the games quicker. So yeah, Man City Pep still has
[27:24] a lot of work to do, but again, poor start to the season has
[27:28] happened last year too. Like they still finished third
[27:30] last season so. It's only one loss.
[27:31] It's only one loss and it's the Spurs at the beginning of the
[27:33] season, so I don't know. The season's long, but Man City
[27:36] have some work to do, definitely.
[27:37] Verdict's not out on Spurs, though.
[27:39] I'm not. I'm not allowing Spurs.
[27:41] I'm not allowing Spurs. The Spurs verdict to be that
[27:44] dulled or I saw. Some people talking about like
[27:48] top 4. Yeah, that's why I'm not.
[27:50] I'm not ready for that. They look good though.
[27:52] They. Look good.
[27:52] They look, they look confident. Like even Kudus.
[27:54] Kudus was amazing. Sure, but play.
[27:57] Play Newcastle. Play versus Chelsea.
[28:02] Yeah, I will see. More Man City is I don't know
[28:04] why Man City to me was never a a bar like a bar test like Man
[28:09] City was Man City. Was second.
[28:11] I put them second. I'm saying right now, like under
[28:13] PEP at the moment, Man City is not a barometer because it's
[28:16] too, it's too volatile. Playing Man City is too
[28:18] volatile. New signings, yeah, like on like
[28:22] you don't have a really solid 11 so.
[28:25] They wouldn't. It would not surprise me if Man
[28:26] City went to go dominate Liverpool One Sunday and the
[28:29] following weekend lose to Burnley to one an extra time
[28:34] like. That'd be heinous.
[28:35] There's a it's a little bit too volatile.
[28:36] It has to be said to Spurs, Man City, even with Ange I believe.
[28:41] Spurs have for nothing. Yeah, Spurs has ran away with
[28:44] that fixture, so it could be, it could be that it's just.
[28:47] I'm saying doesn't know I'm just looking like shit, right?
[28:50] No, I try to get start with the Spurs as well, yeah.
[28:53] Yeah. But I'm saying just overall
[28:54] like. The polarity, maybe it's like
[28:58] the polarity, like Ange had these super high highs and he's
[29:01] like bottom of the barrel loading.
[29:03] Thomas Frank gives that consistent vibe, gives that like
[29:06] you're consistently improving. Yeah, but he did add kudos and
[29:09] polinia which are which are. Good.
[29:11] Yeah, there were smart signings, There were smart signings.
[29:13] So definitely, definitely see that happen.
[29:16] Anyway, moving on, we have Chelsea, West Ham 51.
[29:19] I got a little bit excited at the beginning when I got that,
[29:22] when I see that West Ham is is in it, but then Chelsea just
[29:28] completely take over and win the game.
[29:30] Yeah. No, this was I think, hey
[29:33] listen, Chelsea played very well.
[29:34] Obviously five goals is nothing to to look away from, but West
[29:39] Ham is horrendous. Yeah, West Ham is really.
[29:40] Hard champ, but they couldn't, they couldn't even complete
[29:43] passes at this point. And I think Chelsea is just
[29:46] they're very well set up. They play their game and five
[29:49] goals even without Cole Palmer. Yeah, which is crazy FPL owners.
[29:53] Without Cole Palmer, I think you got an advantage, Cole.
[29:56] Yeah, I think I, I think I saw. Advantage, Chelsea.
[29:58] Sorry, a little injury. Yeah.
[30:00] But honestly, this, this, I think this is more of a
[30:02] statement on West Ham because I don't think at the beginning of
[30:05] the season people expect them to be this.
[30:08] Poor, not this bad. At the beginning, and I mean
[30:11] Jared Bone even said it after the game too, he's like, we're
[30:13] not even doing the basics right where where we we can, where I
[30:16] think goals, goals for and against like they're against.
[30:19] They have eight goals and they've only scored two.
[30:21] They've considered 88 goals in two games, so it's like that.
[30:24] That's not a Premier League level.
[30:25] And am I tripping or packet that rumored to be leaving?
[30:29] And sure, he's he's always been kind of rumored, honestly.
[30:31] He's still seeing it. Yeah.
[30:32] I'm still seeing it by like quarter two, yeah.
[30:34] Score. That was a banger.
[30:35] Yeah, it was a banger of a goal. So I.
[30:37] Don't get the only scores bangers.
[30:38] But the individual, he's always shown individual brilliance at
[30:41] West Ham. So like he's always been a very
[30:43] good player. So I, I, I don't see why like
[30:45] it's, it's not super shocking to me.
[30:47] But I mean, not. What's shocking is that the rest
[30:49] of the West Ham game. West Ham Time Team?
[30:51] Yeah, horrendous. I think for Chelsea, though,
[30:54] it's a testament that I, I feel like maybe last year you could
[30:57] have said without Cole Palmer things would have been
[31:00] different. But now I feel like they've set
[31:02] the foundations right that, for example, you could put a Joao
[31:06] Pedro in his place and he'll still like, he was amazing this
[31:09] game. He'll still like, perform to a
[31:10] high level. Two goals for draw Pedro, and I
[31:14] feel like they're flexible enough to do that now with the
[31:17] lap up top. Yeah.
[31:18] Like they were able to figure it out.
[31:19] And you have these youngsters coming in like Esteval, who
[31:22] played amazing right when Cole Palmer was deemed not fit to
[31:26] play. So like they're very flexible
[31:29] now. And I think Chelsea, I would, I
[31:32] would look away from that first result against Crystal Palace
[31:35] because I think Crystal Palace is just a good team.
[31:36] Defensively solid, yeah. I think they'll keep most teams
[31:39] to low scoring. Yeah, I think Chelsea this year
[31:41] is is very well set up. That's that's what I think.
[31:44] I have a question because we just spoke about Man City and
[31:46] now we're speaking about Chelsea.
[31:48] Which team of these two have the most talent player wise?
[31:53] Yeah, but talent, talent is. What do you measure?
[31:57] What do you measure? Like they have a quantity.
[31:59] I think Chelsea have a. Because I'm thinking, I'm
[32:02] thinking like, Pep has this like, pool of talent.
[32:05] Yeah. And seems like for a whole year,
[32:07] and even now, he still can't figure out what, like, how to
[32:10] put out like an 11 that's like cohesive.
[32:13] And Maresca seems like he has the same issues because he's
[32:16] always trying to put out different wingers, whatever
[32:18] combinations. But it seems like it works a lot
[32:21] more often for Manesca. Yeah, I think talent, probably
[32:23] Man City, but that's not to say that like Chelsea can't compete
[32:27] with Man City because I feel like at the end of the day, you
[32:30] could have a good team and and maybe not have a talented player
[32:34] in each position. It's very close actually.
[32:36] Yeah, it is pretty. Close, I think.
[32:37] I think you could say that Man City's players currently have a
[32:40] higher talent level, but Chelsea's like talent potential
[32:44] overall. Yeah, probably what you're
[32:46] saying like Holland's closer to his limit.
[32:49] I mean, like he's, he's, he's. I'm not gonna say.
[32:50] But I'd say Holland, Cole Palmer there.
[32:52] Holland, Cole Palmer can cancel out, although I think Holland's
[32:55] here above. That's great.
[32:56] But let's say that cancels out, yeah.
[32:58] Then you move down to the next best players and then you're
[33:01] looking at you're looking at like Doku's marmos.
[33:05] Cherokee, Cherokee. Cherokee.
[33:07] But we're forgetting like Rodri. Rodri.
[33:09] Yeah, yeah. But Rodri and Kaiseto.
[33:11] Oh. Yeah, that's a matchup.
[33:13] Kaiseto. Kind of, yeah.
[33:15] Although Rodri Holland, in my opinion better than Qasedo
[33:19] Palmer. Yeah.
[33:20] But the charts are going One Direction, you know what I mean?
[33:22] Yeah, they might like you have the Rogery chart that's maybe
[33:25] like this, but the Qasedo charts like this.
[33:27] So they may be close, but the the trajectory is a little
[33:29] different. You know, I see what you're
[33:30] saying, Yeah. So it's tough, but yeah, and
[33:33] Chelsea definitely listen, they're they're showing, they're
[33:36] showing that they are top team right now.
[33:37] And I think I think they also need to face maybe a bit better
[33:41] competition. But West Ham, they got it.
[33:44] They got questions to answer. Grandpa or brother?
[33:47] But Esteval. Esteval though Kel, who got a
[33:50] match. He's we saw him live people
[33:52] wrong when we saw him live like what'd you guys think?
[33:55] I thought he didn't good didn't didn't didn't pop.
[33:57] Out with me, pop out. I agree A.
[33:59] Lot of the other players and he was one of those 22 players on
[34:01] the pitch. But this was his first Premier
[34:03] League start. I think he played like almost 80
[34:05] minutes. He was great.
[34:07] He had a good game. He had a good game.
[34:09] He did not look, He did not look like he was out of place.
[34:12] At all. Like he was coming from another
[34:14] league. Like he looked like he was just
[34:16] maybe you had a couple couple games last season in the Prem
[34:18] already, which he didn't. So and the confidence to do
[34:20] that, like you're coming from a different country, you're being
[34:22] slotted in in a moment where like, I think he didn't think
[34:26] himself that he was going to start that game cuz Cole Palmer,
[34:28] maybe he was going to play like this is it's impressive,
[34:31] impressive that he got man of the match.
[34:33] Next man up and you have to perform and he performs.
[34:35] Low key he's playing the exact position he played like.
[34:39] Palmera. Yeah, Palmera, like he's, he's
[34:41] playing the exact same position. Like if, if, if there was a way
[34:46] to get the best out of a guy, it would be playing him in the same
[34:49] position he was at. Yeah.
[34:51] Like a team like Palmetto, bro, like Loki.
[34:53] They just set up like Chelsea just so they can sell all these
[34:55] fuckers. That's actually pretty smart.
[34:57] You set up like the top teams so that it looks like it's the
[34:59] right profile. If Barber was here he would say
[35:01] at 100% he'd start giving you examples because I know he's
[35:03] spoken about this before. I'm pretty sure about teams
[35:05] setting up to sell, probably like leagues.
[35:08] Leagues set up a style of football that's similar to the
[35:10] Premier League so they can sell to the Premier League.
[35:12] Smart. That makes sense.
[35:14] Like Italy playing five backs, let's say doesn't.
[35:16] Sell to nobody. Sell to nobody.
[35:18] Yeah, 35 twos. And then you have center backs
[35:20] that are like center backs that aren't used to playing.
[35:22] Because then they say, oh, he's not good for a four back.
[35:25] Yeah, he's only a three back merchant.
[35:26] That's why Bastoni, goat Bastoni would be getting a lot more
[35:30] calls. I'm telling you, he's been
[35:32] getting Bastoni played in the four back.
[35:33] He'd be getting a lot more. Yeah, but Bastoni.
[35:35] Bastoni is a real. Madrid would have been calling
[35:37] I. Think they already gave the call
[35:39] bro. But Bastoni is una denoy bro.
[35:41] He is a fucking not denoy bro. He would have been perfect if he
[35:45] was proven in the four back. He would have been perfect next
[35:47] to Rudiger like two seasons ago. Yeah.
[35:50] Rudiger, thank God. Rudiger Bastoni works very well
[35:52] in my eyes. Thank God.
[35:54] The five back saves him, 5 back keeps him at inter.
[35:56] Going to keep him at Inter if that's the case.
[35:59] Keep playing 5 back for the rest of the rest of his career.
[36:02] As soon as he retires, get back to four.
[36:04] Call it a day. Arsenal leads 50 for Arsenal.
[36:08] I mean, listen, it's the Joker that shows the diamond, shows
[36:10] sack injury. We we don't take those we don't
[36:13] lift those we do not lift. Those, yeah, that does like you
[36:15] want, but at what cost kind of thing?
[36:17] Yeah, no, that was a good, that was a good game.
[36:19] That was a that was a classic, classic Arsenal win.
[36:23] Arsenal win. Like not even even last season.
[36:26] Last season there was just those random games where they just
[36:28] comfortably just smoke the other team and I did not think going
[36:31] into it I was kind of scared of leads cause of their performance
[36:34] last week with versus Everton. Everton, they had a lot of
[36:35] momentum, so they. Took it to Everton, Yeah, they
[36:37] like took it to Everton. So I'm like, hey, this is not
[36:39] gonna be a steam rolling game, but you cannot play the ball
[36:42] that you played versus Everton, versus Arsenal.
[36:44] Yeah, and honestly, I at first, I think that first half with
[36:48] Arsenal, I think there were moments where I was like, they
[36:50] don't really look like super confident.
[36:52] They don't really look like they were marauding.
[36:55] And it was weird. It didn't seem like they were
[36:56] like, like dominating the game, but then once they got those
[37:01] first of first goals, two goals, whatever.
[37:03] The game opened up. And it opened up.
[37:05] And then obviously leads, unfortunately, when you're 2,
[37:07] nothing down or three, nothing down, you play yourself into a
[37:09] hole because it's like, OK, well, do we still like we can't
[37:12] stay defensive. We kind of have to like try to
[37:14] get back into this and you go forward, but then you don't have
[37:17] the quality to keep stay like keep a highline against an
[37:20] arsenal. You just don't.
[37:21] So it's it's tough for leads because I do think that do you
[37:26] could find positives, but not that many.
[37:28] Yeah, it's tough enough. And coming off and coming off of
[37:31] that first week where there was like positives all over the
[37:33] pitch, you know, so it's like it's really tough.
[37:35] Some poor decision making, poor individual passing, poor
[37:38] individual efforts. Like defensively leads high.
[37:41] Like there was a couple of times where they just got beaten off
[37:43] the ball easily, easily. Then Arsenal had scoring
[37:46] opportunities. So yeah, Arsenal showed the
[37:49] class today. Arsenal, Arsenal.
[37:50] In this game, yeah, Arsenal played fantastic.
[37:52] I think Arteta managed that game perfectly and once again proving
[37:56] he's a demon with the full backs.
[37:57] Brother loves his full backs, makes no sense.
[37:59] Demon with the full backs him and Luis Enrique going bad for
[38:02] bad on he can use their full backs the best offensive.
[38:04] Bro, at this point, like it makes sense why he's going for
[38:07] all these defenders because all the defenders are scoring goals,
[38:09] yeah. Yeah, spend the money that you
[38:10] would have spent on Forge. Spend them on defenders.
[38:12] Fuck all you. Fuck but Calafiri striker at
[38:14] this point Calaf I. Think because he's coming from
[38:16] that because he's coming from that like overlap position.
[38:20] He doesn't have the the he doesn't have the one V1 like man
[38:23] on man that a winger has like Madoweke.
[38:25] He didn't do that. Madoweke didn't do much.
[38:29] But he had some defensive efforts that were like, yeah,
[38:31] they were fine. He played.
[38:32] He played your. Wing if you're talking about
[38:33] your winger with defensive. Efforts.
[38:34] Yeah. Yeah, you're trying.
[38:35] To pick when your both your full backs got 2 / 2 GA each, you got
[38:40] a problem with your winger. Yeah.
[38:41] And I think now. But it's OK, it's OK big
[38:44] Eberecchi as I was watching the game from the.
[38:47] Stand that, that mad waka deal is looking like it makes no
[38:51] sense in my eyes. No it bro, it just made sense.
[38:54] It just made sense. Saka just got injured.
[38:56] Now we have Mad Waka on the right wing.
[38:57] Yeah, but have a you're gonna talk.
[38:59] I'm confident. Talk about Diamond, because
[39:01] Diamond's A. Baller, no fucking problem that
[39:03] wins the right wing or Diamond's now the substitute right wing
[39:07] for Mad Waka matter what. Could get 65 plays Maduki and
[39:10] then Diamond comes in for the other 35.
[39:12] What's? The point of playing Maduke if
[39:14] you know he's not like bro Diamond is a baller.
[39:17] Trust him. It's too early.
[39:19] It's. Too early In my opinion, it's
[39:21] just too early. But again, this is something
[39:23] that we've spoken about and I know Varvar would have called us
[39:25] out on it too. He would have been like, if a
[39:28] player's good, just play him. Not if not at that age.
[39:31] But but then he's gonna say, but that's why Italy doesn't have
[39:34] talent. And because you don't play your
[39:36] your, you know, at 16. I was surprised that that one
[39:39] area is actually younger when he debuted the Yeah Arsenal.
[39:43] They showed, they showed the stats and during the game or it
[39:46] was during the game. Yeah, it was during.
[39:47] It was like, it was like an. Amendment in an area he had to
[39:50] be 14 years old. No, no, it was. 15 and a couple
[39:52] of days. 15 and I think maybe 50 or 60 days less than Max Domin,
[39:56] which is. That means like impressive.
[39:58] That means 15. 1515 and like 285 days but like, I mean who's?
[40:02] Crazy, bro. Yeah, that's crazy.
[40:04] We're almost 10 years older than these guys. 10 years old and the
[40:07] guy's starting for us. Like not starting, but he's
[40:08] playing for us. It's crazy, but you see now you
[40:10] bring in an essay like what is Where does he fit?
[40:13] In this essay is nasty, yeah, but.
[40:14] You're not gonna so you're not gonna put downman on higher up
[40:18] the pecking order than essay. No, I don't think, No, no, I'm
[40:20] not talking about Downman. I'm talking more like the mad
[40:22] Wake is like where? Where do these guys go,
[40:25] Martinelli now? There's a lot of games, I'm not
[40:27] worried. Yeah, that's why it's a long
[40:28] season. I found like I'm not AI wasn't a
[40:30] fan of the Madoiki transfer because it was kind of just like
[40:32] surplus. But I mean, he he has higher
[40:36] upside than let's say some other options available.
[40:39] And I mean, if you need him in a game, he's there.
[40:42] Chelsea do it, they don't get ripped for it.
[40:45] Well, they. They do what I mean, but
[40:47] eighteen from Brazil and there's just yeah, but.
[40:49] Like in Gel Felix, like you have, you already have a Cam,
[40:52] you have Cole Palmer and you go buy 2 backup cams.
[40:55] Because after those two signings I've already been made.
[40:57] You already forgot about that that first one.
[40:58] They just had they had Nicole Jackson, which everyone was
[41:00] glazing all of last season until the end when he got injured and
[41:04] then you go sign 2 strikers in the summer.
[41:06] So like Chelsea is the Chelsea. I don't want to hear Chelsea
[41:09] fans talking about this matter. Weki signing as being.
[41:12] As being I like the as a one. Negative as a one I like much
[41:14] more. Can't hate on that.
[41:16] But it's a long season and I think everyone's going to get a
[41:19] chance to play. Yeah, Champions League.
[41:21] I can see Nuneri starting at Cam instead of Odegard to rest.
[41:25] Odegard versus let's say it's a Leipzig draw.
[41:27] Yeah. In the Champions, yeah.
[41:28] Whoever, you're facing a lower lower table.
[41:30] Team but a couple of difficult fixtures coming up for Arsenal,
[41:33] so the Saka injury, we'll see how that goes.
[41:36] Three to four weeks, but it's never a good sign when a guy
[41:38] gets injured right after coming back from an injury, yeah.
[41:40] Well, listen there, there's international break truth gonna
[41:43] be happening. So that's like a couple weeks.
[41:45] So Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, City, Newcastle.
[41:49] Brutal. Ohh like Yokich?
[41:51] Test Diamond test. Yokich bro rolly test is.
[41:54] Out. Oh not.
[41:55] Ain't that team that? Might be another agenda switch
[41:57] I'm not going to cap. That's the good diamond test.
[41:59] This guy This guy's touch is looking quite atrocious.
[42:02] I'm about to take out that New York City Diamond District
[42:04] diamond tester. Listen, he scored two goals.
[42:06] He did 2. Goals, brother.
[42:08] One of them was quite nice actually too.
[42:10] Good finish, good finish. The pedal was a good finish and
[42:13] then he fixed his hair. Ever.
[42:14] Dude that was so corny man. I like it.
[42:16] Cornball, I like it. That just shows that these guys
[42:19] listen to us. Confidence.
[42:20] It's yeah, but I like my second confidence actually.
[42:23] Well, it gets to him that someone quote, tweets a video of
[42:25] him trying to fix his hair and it says like.
[42:27] And then it's just like, yeah, you know what?
[42:28] I'll show you guys. But he goes and scored two goals
[42:30] on the weekend so. And then Timber does the same,
[42:32] yeah. Yeah, yeah.
[42:34] How many points did Timber get you this?
[42:36] Year 24. Yeah.
[42:37] FPL Dawn right there. Guy with the guy with the number
[42:40] one FPL team this week and the triple captaining.
[42:42] Triple captaining Timber. Yeah, on the bench.
[42:45] How do you how do you know bro? How?
[42:46] Do you triple captain Timber and had three Burnley players?
[42:49] Three Burnley players that all got double digits.
[42:51] Yeah, Who's that guy? Should have been me.
[42:53] You wonder. You wonder if you should just
[42:55] like, fucking gamble it all and not these.
[42:58] Guys are too good bro like. How do you even think someone
[43:00] triple captain Semenya in the first week but.
[43:02] That makes more sense. Semenya is a forward.
[43:04] Triple captain Semenya versus Liverpool.
[43:07] Like like you triple captaining timber you should have like that
[43:09] means. You, what are you doing?
[43:10] That's true. Like that has to be a misclick.
[43:12] You can't just triple Captain Timber because you thought about
[43:15] it. Like you.
[43:16] Really. You're like you.
[43:17] Know so many millions of combinations that someone does
[43:20] everything. I guess.
[43:21] Someone out there is someone out there is probably triple
[43:24] captaining, like McGuire, Esteval in his first week, you
[43:27] know, or McGuire. But that's a forward, so that
[43:29] makes kind of sense. Yeah, Timber is fucking wild.
[43:31] Like timber is you. Didn't even know if he was going
[43:33] to start this game. Yeah.
[43:35] Like, yeah, it was kind of. Crazy, I was actually thinking
[43:37] about triple captaining Timber. Yeah, the hindsight.
[43:40] Didn't pull the trigger in the end.
[43:42] Points actually offered you a trade.
[43:43] Yeah, it's true. You offered me to a trade.
[43:45] Oh, yeah, that's OK. My.
[43:46] We're trying to offload timber, that's what we need to talk
[43:48] about. It's a little bit of.
[43:49] Risk he's got on this. He's not, he's not a starter all
[43:52] the time because of Ben White. He's.
[43:53] Going to be starting now though. Now he is.
[43:55] Because Ben White got injured, but then when Timber gets
[43:57] injured then who goes right back?
[43:59] Conversations, whatever that is, I.
[44:01] Don't even know what the fuck they put right back.
[44:02] Mosqueta played right by actually because timber came off
[44:05] foremost. Yeah, it's true.
[44:06] Most gotta, but not. What he wants, I have to see
[44:09] those wave replacements. Yeah, anyway.
[44:13] Fulham one, Manchester United 1. I would have loved to have
[44:17] Harvard here. Oh yeah, to be able to shoot on
[44:19] him once again because it's another positive drop in.
[44:22] Points. We played well, the result
[44:25] didn't show it. Yeah, yeah.
[44:27] Again, once again, it didn't show it.
[44:31] They did have good moments so I will not lie there.
[44:34] That Cunha chance, yeah, by India, almost assists, yeah.
[44:37] But that was crazy again, again, this is second week in a row
[44:39] where it's like it could have been a win.
[44:42] You know, like the finishing needed to be better.
[44:44] Like they had good chances. They had good, good contact on
[44:47] the ball. They they shot it on net, but
[44:49] it's like you're shooting to the goalie or you're you're slightly
[44:52] missing it. Just they're off the mark right
[44:54] now, which is crazy. I was telling Paula before the
[44:57] podcast started. I think this is like Amrim
[45:00] system is is based like it's it limits your your individual
[45:04] creativity. I find and players like Imbuemo
[45:07] Kunya, who are players that you just need to let ball out
[45:11] because they're. They're, I think they've been
[45:12] balling out though. No, no.
[45:13] I, I Yeah. No, no, no.
[45:14] I. Agree.
[45:14] No, no, no, I agree. But I'm saying they're so
[45:17] restrained by this system that is clearly not working.
[45:20] And for example, you have a Bruno playing center mid, which
[45:23] in my listen, he's been doing fine.
[45:26] But why are you playing Bruno center mid when you know he's a
[45:28] good Cam and he could be world class as a Cam?
[45:31] That was that. I always found that so stupid.
[45:33] It makes no sense to me. You took your best player and
[45:36] just. Dropped him deep.
[45:37] Didn't you just chose to not optimize him exactly just so you
[45:40] can slot in another player? But you had that.
[45:43] You already had the solution at home.
[45:45] Same thing go by a center mid so Bruno Cam.
[45:48] Same thing. You're starting Mount False 9.
[45:52] Whatever it was, he he was fine. He was good.
[45:54] But you just bought $95 million, Sheshko.
[45:57] Yeah. You're not going to play him.
[45:58] You're not going to give him. That you have a month, that's
[46:00] £65 million from a couple seasons ago.
[46:02] So yeah, it's a battle of of. Battle of high price tags
[46:05] battle. Of but it's like.
[46:06] He's trying to fit all these players in this system, very
[46:09] rigid, which is not what we see with Spurs and Thomas Frank,
[46:12] who's able to flex, change the positions, change the formation
[46:16] based on who they play against. And I'm seeing that, bro, I
[46:19] actually like Ambemo, I like Cunha, but something's not
[46:22] working. And listen, I'm run with 24.1%
[46:28] win percentage. That's really.
[46:30] Really bad. I'd say it's even.
[46:31] I'd say it's even lower. No, no, it's 24.1%.
[46:34] In the Prem. In the Prem.
[46:36] I'd say it's even lower. Champions League and all that.
[46:39] 24% you're looking at. What was that guy's name?
[46:42] Croman. Croman.
[46:44] The guy that got relegated twice.
[46:45] Oh man, I don't remember when they get.
[46:48] Burned for this. They're like Fulham was draw
[46:52] Arsenal loss last season. But he has like 9, nine wins in
[46:57] like. Win, loss, loss.
[46:59] Having. 10 Hog has more win, loss.
[47:02] Yeah, draw loss. What was that thing?
[47:04] Gary Neville had more. Yeah, Gary Neville has a better
[47:07] win percentage at at Valencia than Amaran doesn't mention.
[47:10] It. But yeah, I don't know, I think
[47:13] there's a needs to be a conversation about standards
[47:14] here because like, it depends how long you want to ride this
[47:18] out for. If if you're a Manchester United
[47:20] fan that thinks, listen, this is just a bad patch.
[47:22] And what like once Ameren, like once the players get back into
[47:27] it and like what, we'll be on a good, good run.
[47:29] We'll have the good environment. Like sure, but then you have to
[47:32] also think about the like OK, but if it doesn't work out, what
[47:36] do you do? Sacked.
[47:38] That's a you know, I'm I've probably been saying.
[47:40] Yeah, you've been saying it. That Ameren will be the first
[47:42] manager that sacked. But the only thing that's
[47:44] stopping that prediction from coming true is the is that staff
[47:47] realizing that this is a competent team now.
[47:50] The manager is the problem. Bro.
[47:52] Ameren is a good manager somewhere.
[47:54] I just don't think it's a Manchester United.
[47:56] A guy like Glasser would come in and be much better.
[47:59] Thomas Frank would have helped, but.
[48:00] Thomas Frank would have been fucking liquid with the system.
[48:03] Liquid. The issue is now is that I think
[48:06] it's you're too late now you're you either do it near near
[48:09] Christmas. You're Manchester United and you
[48:11] can still you can still find the manager.
[48:13] I don't think like you'll find a like an interim.
[48:16] I'm on the fence. I'm on the fence because it's
[48:18] two games and I feel like we've been saying give him time, give
[48:22] him his season or whatever, but like, yeah, this is this is bad.
[48:27] I, I don't, I don't, I use all of last season.
[48:30] I don't care about the two games now.
[48:31] I use all of last season as a as a sample size 2 because these
[48:34] managers are so blanketed like they're they're so like
[48:37] cushioned by the fact that last season it was like, oh, but he
[48:40] didn't get the funding, he didn't get his summer signings
[48:42] and whatever. And now he's got the summer
[48:44] signing. So now we can judge him.
[48:46] But a guy like Thomas Frank, did Thomas Frank ever complain at
[48:48] Brentford about getting his big summer signings?
[48:51] Like now he's at his standards and now he's probably super
[48:54] happy because he can get Paulinas and Cunas.
[48:56] Yeah, by kudos. But last season Amrim had a
[49:02] competent enough team to finish in the top ten.
[49:05] Yeah, the same reason why Ange got sacked and got sacked and
[49:08] they won the fucking Europa League and they finished the
[49:10] same level as Manchester United, Amrim said.
[49:13] We said, oh, but Amrim needs a summer to a summer to get his
[49:16] signings lost in the Europa League and finish at the same
[49:19] point as Spurs. Yeah, but I mean, the the issue
[49:23] is that with like, it's not necessarily his fault completely
[49:28] because listen, Cunya puts in a couple of those chances over the
[49:32] last two weeks and Bueno puts in a couple of chances over the
[49:35] last two weeks. Like and let's say even Chesco
[49:37] had to add a chat. I know these are hypotheticals,
[49:38] but the the whole narrative switches if a couple of those
[49:42] goals go in for sure. You know what I mean?
[49:43] We don't have this. Conversation.
[49:45] It's it's you're saying a couple.
[49:46] Of I think, I think they've been actually very good chances, they
[49:48] just they haven't finished. But it's not a volume.
[49:50] It's really not volume aside from that pen they generated
[49:53] like I wouldn't say they generate like .6 G.
[49:55] They're getting in the right spots.
[49:56] Like I think, I think they're getting in much better spots
[49:59] than they were last season with the front three they had.
[50:00] So like the, the quality is there, the potential is there,
[50:05] just something needs to happen, like just to get it over that
[50:08] that hump. And then you won't have these,
[50:10] you won't have this on your back that people are coming after
[50:13] your neck because it's you're not getting the result.
[50:15] And listen, it's not like they lost like I know they should
[50:18] have. Lost.
[50:18] They tied. They tied they they, they
[50:20] haven't lost. But I mean, yeah, it's it's
[50:22] alarming when it's you're you're facing a, a Fulham and it's
[50:26] like, OK, well, you just kind of should win this game considering
[50:28] how much money we've spent Full of shit.
[50:31] Yeah, no, Fulham's not. Fulham's not fantastic.
[50:33] Fulham's gonna finish like round mid table this season.
[50:36] Like they're not that bad. Just kidding.
[50:38] I think defensively, like Man City, Man City, Manchester
[50:41] United have good pieces. Like I like the McGuire, I like
[50:44] their full box. I think they they're solid.
[50:47] That midfield's a bit of a question mark in my opinion
[50:50] because like now menu's kind of out of the picture.
[50:52] So it's like. How true is that that he
[50:54] requested? A a transfer?
[50:56] I'm not sure. Menu.
[50:57] Yeah, if I was here. You know what he's saying bro.
[51:01] Not true bro. Don't fucking believe that.
[51:02] Bro bro don't believe that the last part.
[51:05] Bro, are you in the locker? Room, but that's another player
[51:07] that like, I don't understand why he's not being even tested.
[51:11] Like Donari, No, Arsenal's wasting Nonari.
[51:13] Yeah, but Kobe, man, who that can just sit on a bench at
[51:15] fucking 19 years old is fine because we've.
[51:17] Seen the potential, yeah, he's had a couple of bad performances
[51:20] that maybe relegated him to the bench, but he's had good
[51:22] performances, he's had good performances.
[51:24] Even for England, who he had good performances, yeah, so.
[51:26] He's highly rated, so I think I don't know now.
[51:31] Now the pieces are too like even Ahmad right wing back, is that
[51:35] really the position where you could excel at?
[51:37] Sure, he's had decent performances.
[51:38] There but play more up and it's like I think.
[51:40] He's more of a right winger, like you're limiting his chances
[51:44] to go if you're playing him right wing back.
[51:46] So I don't know it's all these. They want to go by two cams.
[51:51] Like they want to go by two not cams, but like if you're going
[51:53] to play the 3-4, what is it They play the 34343421 or whatever?
[51:58] Whatever you want to call. It and you call those two cams
[52:00] or like ram and Lam. Yeah.
[52:02] You had like, Bruno could have been one.
[52:04] Yeah, and Ahmad could have been one.
[52:06] Even mount could have been 1 like.
[52:08] Well mount is technically one cuz CUNY is playing.
[52:10] But in bueno, CUNY, in my opinion, are good deals.
[52:12] It's just now like try to try to fit them in this team and I
[52:16] think they've they've been all right, they've been pretty good.
[52:19] They've shown quality. Yeah, they've shown the quality.
[52:20] I'd say they'd be like Cunya's. Cunya and Bwemo have been top
[52:25] players in the match, Yeah. They've been bright spots for
[52:28] me. It's more like that midfield,
[52:29] like it's not looking. It's Miro's still starting,
[52:32] yeah. That's the problem in.
[52:33] Big 25, yeah, but that's they're playing Grimsby.
[52:37] They're playing Grimsby in the AFL in the EFL Cup.
[52:39] Chambermy Timbers. So they're going to they're
[52:41] probably going to smoke them and that's going to get a Manchester
[52:43] United fans. I.
[52:43] Think Burnley's playing too. They're going to be playing
[52:45] Burnley soon or? No, and then they play Burnley
[52:46] in the. Next, how's their fixtures?
[52:48] Grimsby, Burnley So in the Manchester United, fans are
[52:51] going to have that that hopium popped up in their veins.
[52:53] Dude, I saw, I saw a tweet that said Burnley's not that
[52:56] straightforward of a match as it seems.
[52:58] Manchester United fan, by the way, said that I could not
[53:00] believe my eyes. And then they're playing Man
[53:02] City and Chelsea back-to-back, so that'll be tough.
[53:04] So all the Hopeium will reach all time highs.
[53:07] And then Manchester City, actually, no, they're always
[53:09] competitive with Man City. Always.
[53:11] Yeah, that's true. I live with that hag, at least
[53:14] back in the day. Yeah, Liverpool, they can get
[53:16] dunked on, but Man City, they're competitive.
[53:18] Oh Liverpool smoke sesh. And even Chelsea, to be honest,
[53:21] City and Chelsea are both fixtures for United that
[53:23] historically I feel like they've been close games.
[53:26] Don't really remember. Oh, 100%.
[53:30] Man United, Liverpool last year. Percent.
[53:32] Man United. Liverpool, that's gonna be right
[53:35] there. Sunday, October 19th Liverpool
[53:40] Man United. I love football, man. 7UP Now
[53:44] we're moving to the less entertaining sign.
[53:47] Seti as, St. as. SETI as where we have some
[53:52] interesting, interesting results over at Milan versus Clemonese
[53:58] and it. Seems like enter enter's doing
[54:00] well, UV is doing pretty. Thank God Barbara's not here
[54:03] today. Thank God.
[54:05] Stay on that plane bro. No, because because Varvar was
[54:08] the one that was that was glazed.
[54:09] Yeah, he's on my side. He's the one that was glazed,
[54:11] but he's, you know, he glazes and then first chance he gets,
[54:14] he, oh, he'll go for it. He goes for it.
[54:17] It's an agenda switch like that. How's life for that like?
[54:20] OK, no, this is an embarrassing loss.
[54:22] I'll put it like that. Very easily embarrassing loss
[54:26] but I see Cremonize just very good game from them.
[54:31] They put 11 guys behind the ball.
[54:34] That's Allegory talking right there.
[54:36] He did the same shit when he was with Juventus.
[54:39] I can't say Cremonize was asked. Because they actually gave a
[54:43] good game. They they put 11 guys behind the
[54:46] ball. They scored two fucking wonder
[54:48] goals. Yeah, nothing was working for
[54:50] Milan. Nothing was working.
[54:51] Overhead scissor kick They had an overhead scissor.
[54:54] Shot brother Legley is your manager.
[54:57] You will see other teams score the craziest fucking goals of
[55:00] your life. I was I would watch it.
[55:03] I'd say I'd say bro, it doesn't make sense that every week we're
[55:05] losing to like anomalies. We're losing to like a semi
[55:08] fucking bicycle. Kick yeah, but we we've seen
[55:10] that even last year at Milan you're losing against these
[55:13] these wonder goals that I'm just.
[55:14] That allegory welcomes. Guys never scored in his life.
[55:16] He scored his first goal against Milan at the Sancito.
[55:19] The biggest game of their lives versus Milan Yuva enter.
[55:21] You know what I mean? Allegory welcomes that stuff.
[55:23] I'm telling you, having Allegory as your manager, it makes every
[55:27] you, you feel like every team's coming out to play and they play
[55:30] like they they play like it's the World Cup final for them.
[55:32] It's what it is when when you're supposed to be the bigger team.
[55:35] So like, listen, Allegory had a couple of faults.
[55:39] I think first of all, I I also think it's also squad depth.
[55:42] Like we don't have a striker right now.
[55:44] We're we're looking, we're linked to a couple of them.
[55:46] Bonifast is not coming to Milan anymore because injury concerns.
[55:49] What a disaster. So like, it's needle, Yeah, it's
[55:52] kind of cooked. I mean that's probably just
[55:54] surgery stuff but looks botched. But I think looking at this
[55:58] game, there's some a lot of negatives.
[56:02] The positives I would say, like Madrich played very well,
[56:05] understandably. You know, his technical ability,
[56:08] you know, he has talent, the class.
[56:09] But like our defense is shambolic.
[56:12] Like Pavlovic. You can't pull up to a game with
[56:15] Pavlovich, Tomori and Gabia and expect to to keep a clean sheet.
[56:19] You just can't because that's not a that's not a lineup that a
[56:22] Milan would have had the couple of years.
[56:24] Well, actually a couple years ago there was garbage as well.
[56:26] But like the prime Milan days, like, yeah, but the standard has
[56:29] fallen off so badly. You can't even look at premier
[56:32] there was so long ago, but but the like, listen, I'm Alec Teal.
[56:36] He wouldn't have changed anything.
[56:38] I don't give a. Shit, bro, but it's it's
[56:39] different bro, because it's like you wouldn't because you had
[56:41] those players up there and you said fuck, we actually have no
[56:44] one on our bench. There's no one we could sub out
[56:46] right now that would even like attempt to make a difference.
[56:49] Defensively, defensively, like nothing could have done.
[56:53] You just said need better. Players that you need better
[56:55] players. Listen, I've, you know, I'm
[56:57] always a fan of a little Pavlovich ball, but I mean.
[57:00] Pavlovich with the ball. Was yeah, with the ball is he's
[57:03] just with his feet. He's just really not that good,
[57:05] I think. It's more like our our we're not
[57:07] clinical. We have 24 shots like what, 7 on
[57:10] target? None of them really looked super
[57:12] threatening. Yeah, 'cause you don't miss
[57:13] Striker, you're playing with Pulsic and.
[57:15] Well, Santi Jimenez, yeah. Santi Jimenez was there like.
[57:20] The thing with Santi is that you need you need him in certain
[57:23] games. He can't play Link up because he
[57:26] he's more of a finisher. He's more of a run in behind and
[57:29] like when he starts when you're playing against 11 guys behind.
[57:32] He will never, he'll never floor.
[57:34] He's. He's not going to come and link
[57:35] up. That's how what he does.
[57:36] I don't know why you're linked to Vlavich.
[57:38] I know and I hate that too. I hate that I hate Vlavich in
[57:42] the way he plays because right now we need a link up striker.
[57:45] We can't beat these low blocks because we're missing quality in
[57:48] the final third and obviously Leo was missing so all of the
[57:52] the burden on scoring goals was on Santi and his link up wasn't
[57:55] good. So we just we didn't play good.
[57:58] It was. Horrendous.
[57:59] Well, you still don't have Joshari and Ricci.
[58:01] Joshari played you. See, this is where I'm going to
[58:04] fault that league because. Didn't get a.
[58:06] Minute Ricci didn't get a minute.
[58:07] For fun I played Cam, which I don't understand what what was
[58:10] happening there. Madrich played great, Joshari
[58:14] came on and he was good. I could see positives as in
[58:17] Joshari, Madrich, Ricci, midfield.
[58:20] I like that a lot. Yeah, I think a lot of people
[58:22] were were drawing that up as the the ideal Milan midfield.
[58:24] Yeah, I like that a lot. But but then loft his cheek and.
[58:28] They're not great. I like, I like loft his cheeks.
[58:31] I like both of those players. It's just for fun at calm.
[58:33] Like, what are you doing at that point?
[58:34] Yeah, you're just wasting. You're throwing players around.
[58:37] Again, it's like a Bruno you're playing MCM when.
[58:39] Yeah, you're wasting him. Yeah, well, it's not like you're
[58:41] wasting Bruno's potential versus.
[58:43] Yeah, not the real comparison. But but yeah, like I
[58:46] embarrassing, I think just the way the way I likely set up for
[58:48] this game and with the players that he put out there, it just
[58:51] not it did not it did not gel. It did not.
[58:53] It did not go against. What are they playing against
[59:00] Leche? Yeah, that's what I saw.
[59:01] Yeah. Again, this is 2. .0 clip it.
[59:04] Kamarda will score on us and Leche will win.
[59:07] That's an allegory script right there.
[59:10] That's an allegory script right there.
[59:11] Bro, that's insane work. That's insane work.
[59:13] But you know what? That's in the cards.
[59:15] Is gonna be in the cards bro. Bro that's crazy embarrassing,
[59:18] crazy work. This is gonna be like a criminal
[59:20] as a 2.0 probably. Bro like it is your manager big
[59:23] 20. Five I like I like the Mila I.
[59:25] Can eat them. But those players, those players
[59:27] are just not up the par, especially A.
[59:29] Great guy, great guy. He's entertaining.
[59:31] He's a fucking entertainment to the sport.
[59:33] Yeah, but he, he brings, he brings a form of solidity.
[59:35] Get away from my club. Get away from my what?
[59:37] What I need from him is just like.
[59:39] Steal the ship, Steal the ship, get.
[59:41] All I need and that's it and he's fucking bro.
[59:44] He's he's working. He has Milan working against him
[59:46] with these players that that they're buying right now.
[59:49] Because you could see this is all player trading at this
[59:51] point. Like now we're linked to a
[59:53] sporting striker. Harder brother, you give Kamarda
[59:57] on loan because he's too young and you go and buy a young
[1:00:00] striker. Young striker that has five
[1:00:02] appearances or five goals or something like that in his
[1:00:04] career like. I don't know.
[1:00:06] It's so backwards thinking but it's crazy.
[1:00:08] If the debate ends up being that Kamarda member of this whole
[1:00:11] Kamarda, will, does Milan still have the rights over him or
[1:00:14] whatever? Yeah, if technically if Milan
[1:00:16] does have the rights over him, it's still, in my opinion, it
[1:00:18] was a smart move to send him. To like 100%, yeah, I love that.
[1:00:21] I love that deal. It's just that time for me.
[1:00:23] It's like you, you give away Kamarda, who would have been a
[1:00:26] good, good sub or a good third striker, let's say.
[1:00:29] He could have even started a couple of games because he's got
[1:00:31] a link up. And but now you buy a sporting
[1:00:33] striker who like is not proven. He's 20 years old, Yeah.
[1:00:37] Like, but for his development, for come out of them seeing
[1:00:40] development, it's probably better that he's starting at
[1:00:41] yeah, yeah, yeah than on a bench at Milan.
[1:00:43] But then he comes back to Milan and you have this guy.
[1:00:46] Who? And then you send him at Taluchi
[1:00:47] like. 40 Meld down the drain. Fuck.
[1:00:50] And whatever it is, what it is, yeah.
[1:00:52] First game of the season, like I think, I think Milan fans were
[1:00:55] kind of like a little overreacting, like not reacting
[1:00:59] accordingly. I find it's overreaction.
[1:01:00] Crimonezi will get relegated. Yeah, I understand that, but.
[1:01:03] Really. This is not losing to Torino.
[1:01:05] Let's say this is losing to Crimonezi.
[1:01:07] Yeah, and I agree, but criminal is coming in with like, listen,
[1:01:12] you know, I'm not I'm not saying they should have they, they had
[1:01:14] every right to win this game, but it's just more like they're
[1:01:16] they're coming in with, with motivation, they're coming.
[1:01:18] Out to hit the fucking. Yeah, that's good.
[1:01:20] To emoting on us. Yeah, that's good to understand.
[1:01:23] Fucking. But he's Jack.
[1:01:24] That's crazy. Jack.
[1:01:25] What? A farmer.
[1:01:26] I didn't know he had that like. Yeah, I know that.
[1:01:28] He's known for that, bro. He wears the tightest shirts.
[1:01:30] Guys, guys doesn't. Excel.
[1:01:32] Wears a medium, doesn't give a fuck.
[1:01:34] And then our merch, yeah. Humble, humble farmer.
[1:01:37] Imagine how good. Is the humble farmer gimmick
[1:01:38] until he fucking scores a goal in that.
[1:01:40] Game in the summer, No training, no head amount of lifting
[1:01:42] barrels of hay. And he's hitting the fucking.
[1:01:44] On the Companion, he's hitting the Arnold.
[1:01:45] At Sanciro to make it. Even worse.
[1:01:47] Yeah. Yeah, embarrassing.
[1:01:48] Very, very embarrassing from you.
[1:01:50] Anyway, Millie, I mean just comfortable smooth selling on on
[1:01:53] our ends. Yeah, listen, you've a pot.
[1:01:55] My game. I didn't really get to go look
[1:01:56] at it, but I mean, you can tell me.
[1:01:59] I heard he had a very, very good game.
[1:02:00] The guy is generational, but we'll we'll let it simmer.
[1:02:04] I saw the Joe David show, they good.
[1:02:06] Joe Joe David, bro, like I said before, he's serviceable.
[1:02:09] It's we didn't need fucking we didn't need Cristiano Ronaldo
[1:02:12] striker or brecurring Benzema Balandor winning season.
[1:02:15] We just needed a guy that can you give him the ball?
[1:02:18] Yeah and he can he can distance himself from the center back
[1:02:20] where he can now lay it off to someone else.
[1:02:22] Yeah, because we have the contests how yield these are
[1:02:25] elite at moving the ball around on top.
[1:02:27] So you just need a striker that can just fucking layoff the
[1:02:29] ball, move, find space in the box and like look, his goal.
[1:02:33] The goal was just a simple strikers goal.
[1:02:35] Yieldies did the work, crossed it in Joe David Little flick in
[1:02:38] the back of the. Net, and this is what I'm
[1:02:39] talking about, like Parma, now that Kivu is at inter, Parma
[1:02:43] played terrorism ball. They were straight defending for
[1:02:46] fucking 90 minutes. They didn't want to play.
[1:02:48] So when you have a Jonathan David who's who excels at
[1:02:51] linking up, now you're able to beat those low blocks because
[1:02:54] he's coming towards the ball. He's linking up with yieldies
[1:02:57] when when unfortunately you just have a striker running in behind
[1:02:59] like a actually Volvich even scored.
[1:03:01] So yeah, he scored. So when you when you have
[1:03:03] strikers that just do the the running in behind against the
[1:03:05] SETI out low blocks, you're automatically like at a
[1:03:08] disadvantage. You're relying on a brilliance.
[1:03:10] You're relying on your on like your creative players to have
[1:03:12] brilliance to break the lines. Yeah, which could not.
[1:03:16] Probably not a reliable system. Yeah, and and plus.
[1:03:18] You have Cole Palmer. And those and those forwards
[1:03:20] that don't come back to the towards the ball, like they end
[1:03:22] up, they end up playing themselves out of the play
[1:03:24] because then they start to try to run, they try to get a path
[1:03:27] in behind and they end up offside or they're never in a
[1:03:29] good position. They end up finding themselves
[1:03:31] like between two defenders that like obviously you're not going
[1:03:33] to make that pass. So it's like it's very tough.
[1:03:35] They don't seem to play like with the squad, whereas like if
[1:03:38] you have a, if you have a striker that like a link up
[1:03:41] striker, like you said, that's able to drop down, able to
[1:03:43] create that link to the go wide. So much space it saw David was
[1:03:47] playing. In time.
[1:03:48] David. David played good, yeah.
[1:03:50] He played well. David would play well,
[1:03:52] obviously. Man of the match I think was
[1:03:53] Yieldies. Yeah, yieldies, definitely.
[1:03:55] That Bremer. Coming into his own.
[1:03:56] Nice to have Bremer back. A bit more, a bit more you.
[1:03:59] See that Bremer block? Which one?
[1:04:00] He blocked the goal off the line.
[1:04:02] I'll show you guys after. No, Parma crosses the ball in.
[1:04:07] Yeah, goal. You gotta go to your kind of
[1:04:09] like over committed, completely empty net.
[1:04:12] Bremer's standing there. Bremer just throws in a tackle,
[1:04:16] saves, saves the goal. Yeah, bro, having remember is
[1:04:18] night and day. Yeah, yeah, he's not fully
[1:04:20] back-to-back in shape, OK, but completely different.
[1:04:24] But Verdict's still not in on Tudor.
[1:04:26] Tudor. I'm not, I'm not.
[1:04:27] It's a. Lot of a lot of Juventus fans
[1:04:29] are there's. They're saying I'm on board.
[1:04:32] Bro, he he attacks well, he defends well.
[1:04:34] Yeah, the bar is so in hell for seriat, for seriat fan bases,
[1:04:38] that if your guy just does the bare minimum of football
[1:04:40] properly, we lift up, you're happy.
[1:04:41] And if you keep making yieldies, good.
[1:04:44] I don't. I'm happy.
[1:04:45] But you see he's got him playing in the right position, Cam, he
[1:04:48] played the little half space spot and that's where he excels
[1:04:52] so. He's in the Verts.
[1:04:53] He's in the Verts Musiala area. Whatever you call.
[1:04:56] That the Lam. Yeah, the Lam situation.
[1:04:59] What there's a name for that? Half space.
[1:05:01] I don't know, no. Like a position wise.
[1:05:03] Mesala. Isn't the mesala just in the
[1:05:05] left half space more? Advanced than that.
[1:05:10] Yeah, you're there. I.
[1:05:11] Don't. Yeah, anyway, and enter 50
[1:05:15] Torino. I did not watch the game, to be
[1:05:17] fair. It's okay.
[1:05:17] Your recovery Liverpool, Newcastle was playing so.
[1:05:20] This is what it was, my priorities, it was enter and I
[1:05:23] would like switch between the new.
[1:05:25] I was watching Newcastle up until around 2.
[1:05:28] Nothing. Yeah.
[1:05:29] And then Inter game was playing in the background and then I had
[1:05:32] Bastoni score and I'm like, OK, yeah, I need, I need to get off.
[1:05:35] That was me with Inter and Torino.
[1:05:37] I I played the first 15 minutes, then Liverpool, Newcastle
[1:05:40] started. Inter was already winning, so I
[1:05:41] said fuck you, yeah. Yeah, so.
[1:05:43] Unsuccessful here. Watch.
[1:05:44] And unfortunately, but honestly, from what I saw today, I'm I'm
[1:05:49] very surprised because I think a lot of people going into the
[1:05:52] season were like it was 2 camps, 2 distinct camps.
[1:05:56] It was either Inter have the absolute best squad in Seria and
[1:06:00] should obviously be the favourites or this team is an
[1:06:03] absolute disaster. We need, Inter needs to sell
[1:06:06] like 6 more players and get 6 new players.
[1:06:08] Like this team will not be winning Seria.
[1:06:10] So going into that like 2 polarizing groups, there was
[1:06:13] never like a clear idea of how this team was going to go.
[1:06:16] And honestly, I saw a good play. I saw a fluid passing Petar
[1:06:21] Suchich was he was good revelation.
[1:06:23] I couldn't believe how good he was playing.
[1:06:25] Yeah, that's one guy I could I could support.
[1:06:27] But he only started because Chalanoglu was suspended from
[1:06:29] the first game. He's.
[1:06:30] Been on Chalanoglu. I'm not going to say better just
[1:06:33] yet, but Petar Suchich the way he played was absolutely
[1:06:36] fantastic. Marauding with the ball, but his
[1:06:39] his vision and foresight, his link up with with Teram on
[1:06:43] Teram's goal for the 2, nothing did it without even looking,
[1:06:46] just a back heel flick without even looking.
[1:06:48] Teram finishes and he's like fantastic play from him.
[1:06:51] I don't think Barela had that great of a game because he was
[1:06:54] end up play ended up playing Regista, which is never his
[1:06:58] strong suit. Every yeah, every time he's
[1:07:00] played Regista, he's never been great.
[1:07:03] So again, you're playing, you're not playing towards his.
[1:07:04] Why is Mcinitarian still starting?
[1:07:06] He actually had a decent game. He missed a bunch of chances.
[1:07:08] Holy. Man 5 bro.
[1:07:10] I I agree but. Everyone in your team
[1:07:12] 88.37.58.6. Migatarian 6.8.
[1:07:16] But I think, I think that's why we brought in DUF because of
[1:07:18] like DUF would be kind of like that Migatarian replacing more
[1:07:21] like an attacking box to box. Did you, did you look him up
[1:07:25] like do? You really I want like he came
[1:07:27] on for the last 10 minutes. Oh, he did, brother.
[1:07:29] He oh man, he's a truck. No, no, forget truck.
[1:07:32] Like this guy was not part like doing good at all.
[1:07:35] Oh yeah. Oh man, he's stunk.
[1:07:36] He stunk for the 1st 10 minutes. I don't want to RIP him too hard
[1:07:39] because it was like, like he's still young.
[1:07:41] Like it was his first. Like he only came to the, he
[1:07:43] only got into the squad like 2-3 days ago.
[1:07:45] Like, yeah, you throw him on for 10 minutes, like just to see how
[1:07:48] well, bro, he had 3-4 touches. All three or four touches were
[1:07:51] dispossessions. Like he, he lost the ball, put
[1:07:54] him put into a very bad position.
[1:07:55] I'm like, dude, he's gonna cost us the clean sheet.
[1:07:57] He came on for Mikatarian. He came on for Mikatarian.
[1:07:59] So like I, I think I think that's the sub.
[1:08:03] But overall team was fantastic. Tehran finally back on the score
[1:08:08] sheet again. Lovato on the score.
[1:08:10] Sheet I saw Lovato do a couple of nice things.
[1:08:12] Good. Link up, we're good.
[1:08:13] Play like. It's it's the, the ball is the
[1:08:16] same ball as last season. To a certain extent, because at
[1:08:19] a certain point he changed to a 3421.
[1:08:22] So like you, we had two attacking players who played
[1:08:24] there. It was Bonnie.
[1:08:26] And who who was the other one? Zielinski, I think.
[1:08:31] Really. Yeah.
[1:08:32] But Bonnie, Oh man, it's so refreshing to have Blue actual
[1:08:35] like competent forwards on the bench to come on and actually do
[1:08:39] well because coming off of Arnautovic, Correa, Teremi, you
[1:08:43] knew as soon as they came on you were not scoring.
[1:08:46] So to have Bonnie come on and he ends up scoring in his first
[1:08:49] game, pretty decent goals of Torino made so many mistakes.
[1:08:52] These guys are not good. They're terrible.
[1:08:54] I'm trying to remember their coach.
[1:08:55] I kind of. I think it's Baroni Oh yeah, the
[1:08:58] last yeah, right, yeah, bro, the the amount of mistakes we're
[1:09:01] making from but I think Inter scored three goals just off of
[1:09:03] goalie errors, passing it to the defenders into midfield and they
[1:09:06] just got this possessed they. Lost their goalie to Napoli.
[1:09:09] It wasn't great wasn't great at all.
[1:09:10] So I, I do think that we're gonna have to Diamond tester
[1:09:14] will stay out for now because. 50 is good, but 50?
[1:09:18] Listen, that's how you want to start the season.
[1:09:19] Crazy crazy how they reminded me of Five Zero for his game back
[1:09:21] bro. You didn't see that?
[1:09:22] That's great. I didn't think about that.
[1:09:23] I did not think about that, I think.
[1:09:24] About that, probably open Twitter.
[1:09:25] I'm like. Just to see, but they're.
[1:09:26] Yeah, that's that's pretty good, boys.
[1:09:28] I was like damn, fuck. It's either winning or it's
[1:09:31] either winning or losing. It's.
[1:09:32] Losing. I was winning out, losing either
[1:09:34] way. So I was like, yeah, it was
[1:09:35] pretty crazy. But overall happy with the
[1:09:37] squad. Bastoni, greatest defender in
[1:09:39] the world and I can do about it. Unfortunately so.
[1:09:41] He did score. But him a man, give him glory,
[1:09:43] give him fire, give him. Yeah, pretty much.
[1:09:47] We're going to get into next, yeah.
[1:09:49] Well, fucking Barcelona is absolutely Yeah, what a game.
[1:09:53] These brothers. These brothers, you can't count
[1:09:56] Barcelona out ever. No.
[1:09:58] Yeah, no, 20 down at Levante, actually quite nice goals from
[1:10:02] Levante. Very surprising.
[1:10:04] And then just everything started clicking three goals.
[1:10:07] I think this this talks more about like Barcelona's defense
[1:10:11] and looking at that lineup when it when it first came out, I
[1:10:15] looked at that defense and I'm like, it's not going to look
[1:10:17] pretty. And then obviously the the
[1:10:19] forwards are always you can rely on Yamal, you can rely on
[1:10:22] Rafina, even Federan Torres nowadays you can rely on.
[1:10:25] So I think I'm just looking at that defense and I'm kind of
[1:10:29] scared in Champions League potentially when you have these
[1:10:34] teams running at you just because like the depth, like if
[1:10:37] one of these guys gets hurt. Yeah, it's Christensen.
[1:10:40] It's. Brutal.
[1:10:42] No, honestly, like I'm, I'm a little concerned for Champions
[1:10:45] League because if you're pulling at the Champions League and
[1:10:47] you're conceding like this, like it's it's very tough.
[1:10:50] Like, I know The thing is, is that yes, you have one of the
[1:10:53] world's best attacking, attacking players.
[1:10:57] Yeah. So you could always rely on them
[1:10:58] trying to get you back into it. But do you really want to put
[1:11:00] them in that position week in, week out every time?
[1:11:02] Like, dude, it's a you're you're you're expecting them to bail
[1:11:05] you out all the time. But a lot of changes need to be
[1:11:08] made on the on the defensive side of the ball.
[1:11:09] But I mean the name. Is like Pedri.
[1:11:12] Pedri had a great game. It was Pedri Casado as a pivot.
[1:11:15] Yeah, and. Pedri scored a banger.
[1:11:17] Yeah and Fedan starting striker nowadays, yeah, without he kind
[1:11:21] of like more rotation. Everything's looking amazing for
[1:11:24] Barsa, but defensively like it just didn't make sense why you
[1:11:28] they couldn't just go get anything on the market like
[1:11:31] fucking any people. I'm not saying to like to go get
[1:11:35] a Connate or an Obamacano or like even like anything in the
[1:11:38] middle of the tier either. Just go sign a center back
[1:11:41] that's better than Christensen. For sure, but.
[1:11:43] What a Chelsea? Chelsea probably have like 3
[1:11:45] center backs they probably could have sold.
[1:11:46] It's it looks like they they can't buy right now.
[1:11:49] I don't know what it is. Yeah, I think they they just
[1:11:50] can't buy. Financial issues are that bad
[1:11:52] that. You're bar, but you're bar, so.
[1:11:54] I know. Yeah, I know, but it's.
[1:11:56] Sell Danny Omo and buy center back.
[1:11:58] I think it's registration issues like, but you're having trouble
[1:12:01] signing Rashford and that was a loan, Yeah, You know, so like
[1:12:04] and Rashford. 'S cameo was decent.
[1:12:07] He was going on for 44 minutes. You are yanked.
[1:12:09] I'm not going to invest my stocks yet.
[1:12:10] I could see his potential for sure, but I still feel like
[1:12:13] there's there's instances where it's like you don't really have
[1:12:16] to get him I. Would say was that worth it
[1:12:18] considering that you weren't able to sign a setter back?
[1:12:20] Even a setter back on loan? Yeah, like imagine the Rasford
[1:12:22] situation just was an actual centre.
[1:12:24] Review like it seems like they're doubling down on the
[1:12:25] forwards so like, OK, we know our defense is bad, but if we
[1:12:29] have guys that could continue scoring yeah consistently, then
[1:12:32] we could always dig ourselves out of.
[1:12:33] Manchester United. Yeah, well, listen, if you're a
[1:12:35] Barsa fan, you're going to these games, you're getting your
[1:12:37] money's worth, that's for sure. Yeah.
[1:12:38] Balls still there? Yeah, master class as per.
[1:12:41] Usual. I'm saying Manchester United,
[1:12:43] they covered their defensive holes by just buying attackers.
[1:12:45] Yeah, well, they got a score. That is the problem.
[1:12:48] And and on the other side, Real Madrid, Real 30 against Real
[1:12:53] Oviedo. You're telling me a cool story.
[1:12:54] About there was the IT came out like I'm sure this was regular
[1:12:57] news back I think it was like in 2013 or not, but Real Viedo were
[1:13:02] like close to bankruptcy and Real Madrid ended up purchasing
[1:13:06] $100,000 in shares and then giving it deferring it back to
[1:13:10] the board so that they could save Real Oviedo from from
[1:13:14] bankruptcy. So it was like they kind of
[1:13:16] helped the brother out there. So then now they're facing.
[1:13:19] And in return they get. A30 win for free.
[1:13:21] Well, yeah, in return. In return, they make it to La
[1:13:23] Liga I. Receive everything you receive.
[1:13:25] 3030 Thrash. Save, save them from the gutter
[1:13:29] and they end up playing La Liga. But Real Madrid threw nothing.
[1:13:33] It was it was pretty business as usual.
[1:13:34] But I mean, there was there was a bit of controversy, I think
[1:13:37] because like Vinnie starting on the bench.
[1:13:40] Like that was weird. Trent only getting a couple
[1:13:42] minutes on the bench, dude. Like that's a statement.
[1:13:45] And I know and from a from a coach that that has been a
[1:13:48] player in the past. I'm sure Chavi Alonso knows what
[1:13:52] that means. Like there's got to be something
[1:13:55] more to just three minutes, because 3 minutes at that point
[1:13:57] you're not playing. Yeah.
[1:13:58] And it's even like we've seen it with like, Rodrigo, like, I feel
[1:14:02] like he's been kind of like, how do you say that?
[1:14:05] He's been neglecting Rodrigo to a point where, yeah, I mean, he
[1:14:09] did give him a start right now, but something's going on behind
[1:14:12] the scenes. And obviously they still won the
[1:14:14] game, but obviously like. Doesn't seem rosy like it
[1:14:17] doesn't. I don't know what's going on.
[1:14:18] Doesn't seem like like it's calm.
[1:14:21] No, I agree. It came on.
[1:14:23] I didn't know Vinny came on that late.
[1:14:25] Yeah, he scored, Scored an assistant.
[1:14:27] Yeah, he scored a gargoyle assistant.
[1:14:29] What an exotic line up by Real Santuono and Bape Rodrigo.
[1:14:33] It's true Massantuono, I think. Debut, debut.
[1:14:36] You will air to a many Valverde, Carreras, Hoisen, Rudiger,
[1:14:40] Caraval and Cortana I. I like.
[1:14:42] I like. The pieces.
[1:14:43] I like the pieces. It's about putting them together
[1:14:46] now because you have all this talent.
[1:14:47] But clearly we've seen that just having talent is not what makes
[1:14:51] a team good. Yeah, it doesn't get.
[1:14:52] You Arthur Guler at a master class from what I saw.
[1:14:55] I didn't watch the whole game, but on Twitter they were saying
[1:14:57] Arthur Guler. I think he created like eight
[1:14:59] chances or something. He got an assist, dropped an
[1:15:02] 8.9. You can tell he's getting into
[1:15:04] that position in the midfield like he's.
[1:15:06] Confident there, just got to get those performances against top
[1:15:10] class. Top class.
[1:15:11] Champion Alonso trying to use cool air like Champion Alonso
[1:15:13] played Yeah, back in the day. Like trying to use them a little
[1:15:16] bit in that cruise. Little position, but tough shoes
[1:15:20] to fill. Big shoes to fill for a like in.
[1:15:24] And, and for me, Carvajal Trent, like that's like clearly
[1:15:27] Carvajal is, is the one with the experience.
[1:15:30] He's been a leader around Madrid.
[1:15:32] Like realistically, what has Carvajal done to lose that spot?
[1:15:35] Besides exactly exactly, you know what I mean?
[1:15:37] Like, unless there's a clear drop in quality in his play,
[1:15:41] like we're going to have to see it against top clubs in the
[1:15:43] Champions League and whatnot. But brother, if Karvahall is
[1:15:45] reliable and he's and he's like that captain level, yeah.
[1:15:49] For Real Madrid, it's like Chavi Alonso, what are you going to
[1:15:52] do? You're not going to start in
[1:15:53] like. Yeah, I have that.
[1:15:55] I have that feeling, I already saw it on Twitter that Real
[1:15:57] Madrid are going to start testing Trent in that midfield
[1:16:00] position and they're going to be like, nevermind, he's better
[1:16:02] right back. That whole gimmick that it will
[1:16:04] always goes on with Trent. If you think, if you think that
[1:16:07] Kai Havert is going to, they're going to sit out a £300,000 a
[1:16:10] week player on the bench, that's a that's.
[1:16:12] What he was. That's what he that's what he
[1:16:14] would say about Harvard. So that's what I'm saying about
[1:16:15] Trent. How much is he?
[1:16:16] He's earning that much. He's earning a back.
[1:16:19] Turning a fucking peg bro. Holy shit.
[1:16:20] Well, I mean to get him out of Liverpool.
[1:16:22] Deser free. Deserved.
[1:16:24] I'm going to tell you the wages, but.
[1:16:26] Yeah, I don't know a lot of tough decisions that shop beyond
[1:16:28] us to make and three. 112,000 a. Week 312 Yeah, these are numbers
[1:16:34] that Syria clubs don't even touch, but.
[1:16:36] We don't dream. I don't believe this.
[1:16:40] This is gross. This is not net.
[1:16:42] Gross. Gross is gross, but that's what
[1:16:43] you put on the fucking 3. €120,000 base with 280,000 bonus
[1:16:50] per week. It comes out to 600,000 per
[1:16:52] week. Fuck bonuses.
[1:16:53] Could you possibly? Do how many shits it takes in a
[1:16:56] day? What the fuck?
[1:16:56] Gross per year 31 million. That's ridiculous for for right
[1:17:01] by. Fullback.
[1:17:03] He is one of the world's best. He is the world's best, you
[1:17:05] could say, in that position, but in kind of a house right there.
[1:17:09] Gross in his career is only 52,000,000.
[1:17:11] So in one year he's making like 68% or whatever of his.
[1:17:15] Got the bag? Jesus.
[1:17:17] But gentlemen, before we wrap it up, we have our so rare players
[1:17:21] of the week. Last week, boys, I fucking
[1:17:23] cooked. Who do you have?
[1:17:24] I had Luis Diaz. I said he would get a goal and
[1:17:26] assist. He got a goal and two assists.
[1:17:28] He did. I got a TK.
[1:17:29] The cheeky little goal versus Newcastle, we take that.
[1:17:32] Did you have firms? I had reindeers, but brother,
[1:17:35] this guy, absolutely. This guy lost value probably.
[1:17:38] He's the good player that just had a crazy week.
[1:17:40] Yeah, maybe that's. That's the first.
[1:17:42] Thing. Somebody to explain to firms of
[1:17:44] C that you cannot buy stocks high?
[1:17:46] But you know what, though? The thing about stocks, there's
[1:17:48] always a chance of it rebounding, so.
[1:17:50] We'll see about we'll say that until you're holding a Chinese
[1:17:52] stock for three years. We're waiting for it.
[1:17:54] We leave that on the side we're. Waiting for that but so rare.
[1:17:58] Player of the week boys I got. I think it's going to happen,
[1:18:01] boys. Manchester United.
[1:18:04] He felt a big pop out. For the game, Cunha versus
[1:18:06] Burnley, I think it's time. I think he's going to he's going
[1:18:09] to finally score his first goal for.
[1:18:11] Manchester United, he's going for Sheshko.
[1:18:13] I listen, is he still? Is he going to be a starter
[1:18:15] right now? I don't know.
[1:18:17] If that's where the risk is, that's where the value to be
[1:18:19] gained. I know, but Matthias Cunha, I
[1:18:21] think his value is still low. Like everyone knows the
[1:18:23] qualities, had the chances, but he hasn't scored.
[1:18:25] Yeah. So if he scored those chances,
[1:18:27] obviously he's, I don't get a lot higher.
[1:18:29] I'm buying. I'm it's like it's in the middle
[1:18:31] there. Yeah, it's in the middle.
[1:18:32] It's not low, it's not high, but it's in the middle.
[1:18:34] Good potential. I like it and for.
[1:18:35] Those that didn't catch it last week, we explained a little bit
[1:18:38] about how so Rare works. So basically every week you're
[1:18:41] fielding like let's say a 5A side team in so Rare, it could
[1:18:45] be based on different leagues. And with that lineup, if they do
[1:18:48] well, you can win cash prizes. And also the players themselves
[1:18:51] have value and the players value fluctuates.
[1:18:53] So if you get a very rare Matthias Cunha card and he's
[1:18:57] doing and he's doing very well over the first, you know, 15
[1:18:59] games, which he won't, but let's say he does in a different
[1:19:02] world, then that card can go up in value.
[1:19:05] So at the same time your football agendas could be making
[1:19:08] making you money can make you some bread.
[1:19:11] My Surah player of the week, I'm looking at Spurs.
[1:19:13] Spurs obviously started off very well.
[1:19:16] Wait, hold on, hold on. Let me think.
[1:19:17] Let me think of who you could be buying stocking.
[1:19:20] Is this like a a kudu? A rich out?
[1:19:22] No, I think rich Allison no. A kudos I.
[1:19:24] Don't think there's any good stock to buy in in first.
[1:19:27] I know. Oh.
[1:19:28] No, there's definitely kudu. Stock invest now.
[1:19:30] That's what it. Is this guy, he just had two
[1:19:32] good weeks? Why he's going to have 1/3?
[1:19:34] It's time to ball out against Leeds.
[1:19:35] This guy's value is going to shoot up, Baller.
[1:19:38] That's when he explained firm stocks for.
[1:19:40] Absolute. Baller it is.
[1:19:41] When everyone's talking about him, I'm sure his, I'm sure his.
[1:19:44] His so rare card has went up in value.
[1:19:46] Yeah. But he, I still think he's quite
[1:19:48] undervalued. He's waiting, I still think.
[1:19:51] He can only go higher. Bro, this guy, this guy has a
[1:19:53] lot of potential in my eyes. Oh, definitely.
[1:19:56] Honestly, what he's shown so far, yeah, we're.
[1:19:57] Buying Google right now, all my eyes.
[1:20:00] We shall see by Amazon. We just saw her play the week.
[1:20:03] So. Let let's let's delve into this
[1:20:06] one. So the Bundeslig has been
[1:20:07] treating me well. The Bundeslig has been treating
[1:20:10] me super well. And I trickled for some reason.
[1:20:13] Trickled the pun, this Frankfurt Cam Madammushi replacement.
[1:20:18] OK dude, I trickled upon him on Twitter recently and I've been
[1:20:22] watching. And then this week he had a
[1:20:24] master class over the weekend. His name is Ken Uzun.
[1:20:28] Yeah, OK. Yeah, I saw highlights the guy.
[1:20:30] Balls, 19 balls out. Might be 20 years old at this
[1:20:32] point. He's played at Nuremberg and I
[1:20:35] guess Nuremberg second. What's the Bundesliga 2 What is
[1:20:39] it? And he had like a fucking good
[1:20:42] season. Yeah, I think he scored sixteen
[1:20:43] goals in a season, so he's a baller.
[1:20:46] I love Turkish Dons. I don't know why I have a thing
[1:20:48] for, of course, for these Turkish, these young Turkish
[1:20:50] talents, I think they're. So short versus Werder Bremen,
[1:20:52] so. Interesting.
[1:20:53] And he's playing. And Hoffenheim.
[1:20:55] Yeah, but Hoffenheim's been low key on a tear.
[1:20:58] But he's been on a tear. He's been on a tear, yeah.
[1:21:00] I've heard about this guy. This guy's good.
[1:21:01] But this week I will be turning on my box on my TV so I can
[1:21:07] watch when I can watch Prankster Uzun Ball.
[1:21:09] Yeah, yeah. That's definitely on the on the
[1:21:12] on the TV. You know that stock, You know
[1:21:14] that stock is to the moon is low at the moment.
[1:21:17] To the moon. Definitely.
[1:21:19] We're looking for 100 X here. We're looking for a shit coin at
[1:21:21] this point, yeah. But those, those are our picks,
[1:21:23] are so rare Players of the week. Yep, we'll see how they do.
[1:21:25] And at the end of the month, we'll probably do a recap of all
[1:21:27] of our picks. I think Varvar's pick last week
[1:21:29] was Sheshko. Sheshko and he didn't even
[1:21:32] start. And he didn't even start.
[1:21:33] So that's Varvar in stocks. I guess it's just not meant.
[1:21:36] He might have to hold on to it because he can only go up right
[1:21:39] at this point. Hit the floor.
[1:21:40] But firms, where can they? Where can they find this?
