Summary
On today's episode, the whole crew is together again to answer your listener questions!
1) Which players that don't defend do so because of manager instruction and which ones because they're just bad at it and/or lazy?
2) Who are some of the best players of all time with no appearances for their international squad?
3) What are the similarities and differences between the end of the Thomas Tuchel era at Chelsea and the slow start at Bayern Munich?
4) Will Enzo Fernandez actually be at Chelsea for the entirety of his 100 year contract?
5) What's going on at Stockport County and how are they out-Wrexhaming Wrexham?
6) Which fictional character would we select to manager the USMNT?
Bonus question: Any plans for video episodes in the near future??
