Summary
Michael Bailey, JJ Bull and Jon Mackenzie are here to talk about some football.
Arsenal ended their winless streak by beating Aston Villa very, very late on. But will every game be so hard for The Gunners for the rest of this season?
Manchester City yet again dominate a side and fail to win. But how to explain it? Damned if we know.
Newcastle United had possibly the worst start to a game for any side this season in their 2-0 defeat to Liverpool, and it’s left them in the goalkeeping lurch for the League Cup final. And will Liverpool sneak past the Magpies into top four contention?
One team who almost certainly won’t be challenging for the Champions League places this season is Chelsea. After losing to bottom side Southampton, will the Chelsea board really, actually stick with Graham Potter?
Plus, we look at La Liga and how Barcelona have levered themselves into first place with an impressive, and surely unsustainable; defensive record.
This episode of the Tifo football podcast is presented by Michael Bailey and produced by Steve Hankey.
