Summary

Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Gregor Robertson, Alyson Rudd and Tony Cascarino.


Spurs once again started very poorly, but this time managed to almost salvage a point against Liverpool. How do they even begin to fix their shortcomings? (00:00)


Possible red cards and Jurgen Klopp’s actions on the touchline also came up in our thorough analysis (14:18)


Bournemouth are surely secure now, but Leeds are deep in trouble. Where can they get the points they’ll need to survive? (33:39)


Forest could have given themselves a huge chance of staying up, but let Brentford snatch all the points in West London. Did Steve Cooper get his tactics spot on, though? (45:30)


Southampton are sure to be playing in the Championship next season - but are they the next club to free fall down the leagues? (50:55)


Crystal Palace have been a joy to watch since Roy Hodgson came back - but where do they look after the season is over? (60:54)


Brighton are within touching distance of Europe - what have they got so right that other clubs have struggled so much with? (70:02)


Erling Haaland is on the verge of breaking the Premier League scoring record, but is there another gem starting to shine at the Etihad? (74:38)
