Summary
Picking up from our last podcast, Joe Alex and Seb discuss what effect missing centre-forwards, wing-backs and goalkeepers can have on a team, and what are the consequences. They discuss players such as Harry Kane for Spurs, Vardy for Leicester, Robertson for Liverpool and whether or not a first-choice goalkeeper is actually the most difficult player to replace?

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast. I'm Joe Devine and here's Alex Stewart. |
| 0:09.8 | Hello Joe. Here's Seb Stafford Bloor. Jokes, he's not here for the intro because he's lazy, I think. |
| 0:17.9 | But anyway, today's episode is a second parter to last weeks where we discuss |
| 0:24.1 | footballing dependencies. This time we take things a little more broadly and we look at |
| 0:29.5 | strikers, particularly Harry Kane and players like Jamie Vardy, Sergio Aguero. We talk about |

| 0:59.2 | Sometimes I just like to cover everything and then throw it over to you to see what it's saying. |
| 1:03.9 | Just to leave me dangling off the edge of the cliff. |
| 1:07.3 | Yeah, absolutely. |
| 1:08.4 | It's nice. |
| 1:09.0 | That's good. |

| 1:17.6 | If you're alive and you exist and you listen to this podcast, then I think you'll like The Athletic. |
| 1:24.3 | If you visit Theathletic.com forward slash TIFO, you can get some kind of great deal, |
| 1:29.9 | and I genuinely can't remember what it is at the moment, but I promise you that's because it's so |
| 1:35.0 | good that it has boggled my mind. It might be one pound a week, actually, which for the quality |
| 1:40.1 | and the volume of the material that you will have access to. That is an incredible deal. |
