Summary

Vicky Gomersall is joined by The Telegraph’s Jason Burt, The Sunday Times’ Jonathan Northcroft and sports broadcaster Jacqui Oatley to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with England’s struggle to entertain against Andorra. Jonathan praises Anderson and Madueke but Jacqui questions whether England are on track, as fans need to believe they can win, ahead of the World Cup next year.

Next to Daniel Levy’s Spurs exit. Jonathan talks of the ex-Tottenham Chairman’s longevity, but will Levy’s twenty-four-year stint in charge be seen as a success, with an ultimate failure to reach the glory of the bigger trophies?

Then we’re joined by The Athletic’s Megan Feringa to talk WSL; £1m signing Alyssa Thompson joins an already-strong Chelsea side, favourites to become champions again. And Megan praises Arsenal’s display against London City, particularly Olivia Smith’s long-range goal to help Renee Slegers’ side make a winning start to the season

Finally, back to England, and has Tuchel underestimated his job? Jonathan thinks Tuchel has learnt from his first few games in charge, understanding you can’t overcomplicate the tactical side of international football, with the lack of time to practice with his players.

Running Order:
4mins England Struggle to Entertain
22mins Levy Shock Spurs Exit
42mins WSL favourites and signings
53mins Tuchel’s Tactics
