Summary
Jimbo is joined by Carl Anka, Daniel Storey and Charlie Eccleshare after a weekend packed full of talking points.
While there’s a controversial postponement of the North London derby, Leeds just carry on playing and win at West Ham. Does Bielsa get enough credit? Is Declan Rice being pushed too far forward? Plus what’s up with the different size dinner tables at Man United?
The Athletic’s Greg O’Keeffe has details on chaos club Everton sacking Rafa Benitez and perhaps the imminent return of Roberto Martinez to Goodison Park.
Chelsea are beaten by Manchester City again as we ask why Tuchel’s side can’t put together a long winning streak. And why do they continue to misuse Lukaku?
Plus Caulker v Zaha at AFCON, James Ward-Prowse’s crumpled technique and paintballing with Temuri Ketsbaia.
