Summary: Michael Bridges, Paul Okon and Luke Wilkshire join David Weiner to dissect a huge mid-week set of Premier League fixtures. Bridgey has fears for Tottenham's season after defeat to Chelsea, where Maurizio Sarri stamped his authority by dropping Kepa Arrizabalaga after his defiance on the weekend. What does that mean for Sarri, and have Chelsea turned a corner with their displays against Manchester City and Tottenham in consecutive outings? There's a thorough look at Liverpool's scintillating outing against Watford, compared to Manchester City's tight triumph over West Ham, and whether Mohamed Salah's form, or Fernandinho's absence, is the bigger influence over the coming weeks. There's lots of great stories throughout this podcast, including a Mark Viduka power play, the day Luke Wilkshire won a war with a coach thanks to boardroom interference, and the influence of video games in football teams, after Antoine Griezmann admitted that he fears Fortnite more than scoring goals for Atletico Madrid. We look at Brendan Rodgers' Premier League return; Lionel Messi's latest heroics and Sergio Ramos' most recent villainous behaviour; Jose Mourinho's future; Manchester United's injury crisis and get tips for next week's Champions League return legs. Our panel also picked their dream five-a-side team from their teammates during their careers; Paul Okon left everyone speechless with his team - definitely the favourites in this GegenPod Round Robin tournament!
