Part 1
On last week’s show, we evaluated the bookie’s favourites to replace Unai Emery at Arsenal. At this stage, the Spaniard had yet to even be sacked by the club. But on Friday morning, following a 2-1 defeat at home to Eintracht Frankfurt the previous evening, Arsenal announced the sacking of Emery after 18 months in charge of the club.
Good evening and welcome to the Total Football podcast. I am your host Declan Harte and joining me is Andrew Conway.
What next for the club? Can this season still be salvaged?
Part 2
Manchester City are now 11 points behind Liverpool, do they even want to win this title?
The best VAR moment of the season happened on Sunday as Leicester scored a late, late winner against Everton to keep apace with Liverpool.
The pressure mounts on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after a dismal performance at home to Aston Villa. A grim start to a grim week for the club, who are 9th in the table.
Barcelona won at the Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday evening, but neither side looked impressive. Ter Stegen making crucial saves to keep Barca in it.
Lionel Messi is today expected to beat out Virgil Van Dijk to win his 6th Ballon D’or.
The Euro 2020 draw took place and it’s hard to get excited for a competition that doesn’t really know what it is anymore
Part 3
It’s a big week of Premier League action as all clubs play twice before next Monday. It’s also a week that sees the debut of Amazon as a Premier League platform.
The big midweek fixtures include the Merseyside Derby at Anfield, where Everton have not won in a long time and Silva looks like he’ll be sacked any day now.
Meanwhile, later that evening, Manchester United host the return of Jose Mourinho.
Then on Saturday, United visit the Etihad for the Manchester Derby. Hard to see how United earn any points from these two games with the way they’re playing, but will being the underdog suit the way they play?
