Summary
Gab Marcotti and Natalie Sawyer are joined by Oli Kay and James Gheerbrant after a seismic Sunday where Man City hit Chelsea for six.
After 3 defeats in 4 games, with plenty of goals shipped in the process, Maurizio Sarri can’t seem to get a response from his players. Is his management of the media making this situation worse and should he be projecting more positivity? Did City go easy on Chelsea? And do the changes Pep made to his starting line-up highlight how much confidence and control he has in his squad?
The Champions League is back as Tottenham get ready to host Borussia Dortmund. Oli has been to meet Jadon Sancho and is impressed by him on and off the pitch. Spurs continue to impress with their will to win but is a dip in form just around the corner?
As Manchester United prepare to face a depleted PSG, we ask…could Solskjaer win the Champions League again? And is he getting enough credit for the resurgence of Paul Pogba into one of Europe’s best?
