Welcome into the latest edition of ESPN FC. I'm Dan Thomas, joined by Alim Rano and

0:08.6

Stevie Nicol here in the studio. We also welcome to the show, Marianne Malkiot, as it is, former

0:14.0

Arsenal defender, Kirin Gidze, the first time joining us here. How you doing, mate? You ready for this?

0:19.5

I'm ready. I'm ready. You're not. Trust me. We keep things off with Chelsea who are terrible

0:26.7

at the moment. So bad. We've compiled these stats. They've got no goals in the last 344 minutes.

0:33.4

I feel my six hours of football they failed to score in ten of their last 15 games.

0:38.9

Eventonian Oli Watkins have scored as many Premier League goals as Chelsea since November

0:43.5

the first. Harlan's 27 goals this season are four more than Chelsea have scored. They have one

1:22.8

You have to put me on the spot. That's what we do. You know what I would say in my time?

1:33.8

Potter would not last. That's all I can say. Because when I was playing, no. The man would

1:39.6

I'm feel sorry for him. I know everybody talks about the great manager, but with results like this,

1:45.6

I have to be sorry and have to make a change.

1:49.2

Kieran, can you imagine what it's like in that squad at the moment, given all these new

1:54.0

individuals that have been thrown together, and in general just the size of it all?

1:58.9

Yeah, the numbers don't look pretty today. But you know, I just think Graham's, he hasn't had a
