Mark Chapman is joined by Rory Smith, Chris Sutton and Stephen Warnock on MNC this week. First up, with Ange Postecoglou being sacked as Forest manager on Saturday, the panel discuss whether Sean Dyche is the perfect replacement. Then, the MNC team discuss Liverpool having squad issues and a lack of direction, and whether this is a turning point for Manchester United. In Chris Sutton's words, United "got away with it" at Anfield on Sunday.
And with 2 goals on the weekend, Brighton's Danny Welbeck is showing no signs of slowing down! He joins the pod to reflect on beating Newcastle on Saturday. Finally, BBC Scotland's Chris McLaughlin chats to the panel about Danny Rohl's U-turn to join Rangers.
