Summary
Jimbo welcomes Rory Smith, Duncan Alexander and Benji Lanyado into the pod after a seismic week in English football.
Thomas Tuchel is the new manager of England. Should the job always go to an English coach? Are tournaments won by the best tactical coaches? And how has this gone down in Germany? Raphael Honigstein has the answer.
The Premier League is back with Tuchel’s old club travelling to leaders Liverpool. Two impressive new managers in Slot and Maresca - who will come out on top?
Elsewhere, Gary O’Neil looks to book himself another spot on Monday Night Football, Brentford look to score from kick-off again and Southampton look to banish those 9-0 demons.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
