Episode Episode 133 - Pep’s Weirdest Man City Yet + Liverpool lose 4 Straight
Patrick and Ted break down a wild football weekend as Manchester United hand Liverpool a fourth straight loss. They discuss Amorim’s direct tactics, Liverpool’s strange midfield balance, and why both teams are flawed but intriguing. Then it’s Manchester City and the “jazz” version of Erling Haaland, Arsenal’s quiet dominance, and a deep dive into Serie A’s ridiculous title race featuring Milan’s defense, Roma’s Gasparini reset, and Inter’s early control. Plus: Championship betting, set-piece obsession, and Sean Dyche’s unexpected Premier League comeback. Enjoy!
