Summary

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey is joined by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker for the Adjudication Panel.

Meanwhile, the panel attempt to standardise one of the most cluttered punditry cliches of all and decide which Premier League goalkeeper most looks like an outfield player forced to go in goal.
