Summary
JJ Bull and Alex Stewart get super into the respective tactical masterclasses on display at Anfield on Sunday, and discuss Salah's 'Messi-goal', Bernardo Silva's transformation and Phil Foden's ceiling... Whether McTominay is an attacking midfielder in a defensive midfielder's body and how Graham Potter would get more out of the current Arsenal squad than Arteta is. Plus, why PSG's team is much better on paper than on a football pitch!

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Tifo football podcast. I am J.J. Bull. I'm not doing an impression of Joe, |
| 0:08.9 | but Joe is not here today because he's ill, which is good because I realised on the way here |
| 0:13.5 | I'm wearing a blue shirt and I think he only owns one shirt and it's blue. So that could have been |
| 0:18.2 | disastrous. But instead of disastrous, I'm joined by the, what's the opposite of disastrous? Good? Serendipitous, maybe? No, that's not really the same, is that? That's the same at all. No. Well, anyway, Alex Stewart is here. Hello, Alex. Hey, JJ. Hello. You've come all the way from Winchester. That's good. Alex is here. |
| 0:39.2 | Seb is not here. He's away also. It's just me and Alex today. It's going to be a humdinger. |

| 0:53.4 | It was really fun. Manchester United and |
| 0:55.7 | Everton. Some other teams might talk about Aberdeen, maybe, maybe. Might talk about PSG? Maybe. |

| 1:12.3 | But the best thing to do to do that is to go to theathletic.com forward slash Tifo and take |
| 1:18.4 | advantage of the wicked deal that's on at the moment which I think is a free trial for 30 days, |
| 1:24.5 | free completely. |
| 1:25.9 | And then at the end of that free trial, you can continue reading it as I would, because |
| 1:30.7 | there's some excellent stuff in there. |
| 1:32.0 | Like today, Michael Cox has done an excellent breakdown of the Man City Liverpool game. |
| 1:36.1 | And I'm just reading some stuff that Phil Hay has been writing about Leeds. |
| 1:40.4 | He's very informed and very nice. |
| 1:43.4 | And so that's what you can do. |
| 1:44.8 | What else have you been reading, Alex? |
