This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network. Welcome to NQAT. This is the tactic show. It's been a little while since we've done one of these for various travel reasons. And with Darnish and Daniel, we're going to talk about United to Brentford 1. What happened, the challenges we had, how Carrick turned it around in the second half. Preview a little bit of the Liverpool versus United Game at the weekend.

0:55.4

Or United versus Liverpool game at the weekend. What's going on with the Scousers?

0:59.1

Maybe we can start though. We're recording on Wednesday, 5 o'clock on Wednesday, UK time.

1:06.3

Start a little bit talking about PSG versus Bayern last night.

1:11.4

That was a lot of fun.

1:13.0

Vincent Company came out afterwards and he said,

1:16.8

more of the same in the next game,

1:18.4

we're just going to do more.

1:20.1

He said the level of these teams are at,

1:22.1

you can only play two ways.

1:23.2

You either attack all the time or you defend all the time.

1:26.4

What did you make of that, Darnish?

1:28.2

I thought it was really, really fun, and we needed it because we've watched the Premier

1:32.7

League all season, and all I've had is people complaining about how bored they are of football.

1:38.2

By the way, I think one thing that no one's touched upon is it's boring because most

1:43.2

people are on their phones for a lot of the game. Like, apart from like us, genuinely, genuinely, they're like, you're texting me saying it's boring. Now you've been speaking to me for the last six minutes. Why you pay attention to the game and what's going on? But anyway, it was really fun. It was really entertaining. I don't really care about, well, the defending was bad.

2:01.3

Yeah, but you can have plenty of other games to talk about that. Tonight, it's the perfect, perfect ying and yang. It's the perfect Jacqueline Hyde. Last night it was like a big fat party. Today's the hangover of the Simioni versus Arteta. Well, that's it. All the fun police who were like going on about buying versus PSG and complaining about it will get exactly what they wanted tonight.

2:22.0

Daniel, you're one of the fun police.

2:23.7

You hate entertainment and you love Arsenal playing rugby at corners.

2:28.6

It's not that.

2:29.5

It's that I just like I like good defending and I didn't think this was that.

2:35.1

I felt like, I friend message me instead of you fucking watching those.
