Part 1
Sometimes when getting sent off, it is a case of the player taking one for the team. The classic example is Ole Solskjaer getting sent off in 1998 for taking out Rob Lee on the edge of the box. However, in Steve Cook’s case this weekend, his red card was a triple whammy of disaster for Bournemouth. A red card, a penalty and a match-winning goal conceded to a relegation rival.
Hello and welcome to The Total Football podcast, I am your host Declan Harte and joining me is Andrew Conway.
Andrew, what’s your favourite example of a player trying to take one for the team?
Part 2
Bournemouth now have 7 points from their last 36 and sit firmly in the relegation zone. Where’s it all going wrong for Eddie Howe?
Chelsea’s form has completely collapsed in the last month or so, has Lampard been ‘found out’ or are they simply getting unlucky?
Part 3
20 wins from 21. An unprecedented level of dominance during a single league campaign. A victory over every Premier League side. The potential is there to achieve the 3 greatest feats in English football all in one season: becoming an invincible, reaching 100 points and completing the Treble. But just how good are Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side, how do they compare to the best Premier League teams and why can’t anyone beat them?
Part 4
Some good news and some bad news. Firstly, the bad news is that there’s FA Cup matches this weekend, and none of them look particularly exciting. The good news is there’s midweek Premier League fixtures to keep us occupied!
But what are the important questions these games pose? Well I’m glad you asked!
Can Sheffield United’s good season continue with the scalp of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City? Can Arsenal avenge their late defeat to Chelsea last month? And can Wolves become only the second side to stop Liverpool from winning this season?
