Summary

Gab Marcotti, Natalie Sawyer and Bill Edgar discuss two big Champions League nights with a man who was at Old Trafford and Wembley – Henry Winter.


Tottenham dismantle Dortmund as the panel discuss how Mauricio Pochettino just gets better and better tactically, hence the staggering success of the Vertonghen gamble. And how are Tottenham unaffected by the variety of issues surrounding the club?


The previous night saw PSG outclass Manchester United at Old Trafford. Should we be expecting United to be able to match the might of PSG? Or did Solskjaer get his tactical approach wrong?


Plus there’s roundabouts in Swindon, some love for Solihull Moors and one of Bill’s best quizzes.
