Summary
Ryan and Taylor take a look back at some of the biggest matches from this past weekend...
0:00 - But first, we talk a bit about Daryl Grove, his passing, the tremendous response, and all the love shown.
7:46 - El Clasico review: has the fixture lost a little bit of its luster, how good was Sergino Dest, and how bad was Barcelona's marking? Plus, who is the greatest current Master of the Dark Arts of Soccer?
35:21 - Borussia Dortmund v Schalke: one team cements their title challenge aspirations while the other stays mired in the relegation zone. What did Schalke do to frustrate Dortmund, and how were Lucien Favre's men able to find a way through.
48:42 - West Ham v Manchester City: why are City suddenly struggling to score goals and what can Pep do to get things going again?
1:01:16 - Manchester United v Chelsea: how did Frank Lampard nullify Man United's attacking threats, why weren't Chelsea able to create more scoring chances, (the answer to the first one sort of answers the second), and what's the deal with Paul Pogba? Lots to unpack in that chat.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, |
| 0:02.0 | Hello, everybody, and welcome to a weekend review episode of The Total Soccer Show. |
| 0:26.2 | My name is Taylor Rockwell. |
| 0:27.9 | We've got four games to discuss today, two from Europe, two from England. |
| 0:31.6 | To help me do that, that was meant to be a Brexit joke, I think. |
| 0:34.4 | I'm not sure. |
| 0:34.9 | To help me make sense of those four games, I'm joined by Ryan Bailey. Ryan, good to have you here. Good to speak to you too, Tatei. How you doing? |
| 0:42.0 | I'm doing as best as a person could be, I think. And we should kind of address that up front. Yes, |
| 0:48.7 | my introduction is maybe a bit more cheerful than I am currently feeling because of the loss of |
| 0:53.3 | Daryl Grove on Friday, |
| 0:55.1 | Thursday evening, the response to which has been really, really incredible. And I would just like |
| 1:00.5 | to take a moment to thank everyone for the many, many, many messages expressing their love and |
| 1:05.3 | admiration and respect for our friend. It really was like this thing every weekend, like over the weekend of reading these messages |

| 1:23.2 | nice to know how many people he affected and how his kind of memory lives on. So that's been |
| 1:29.3 | really, really nice. I would still like to, I plan to respond to everyone when I can. Apologies |
| 1:34.0 | in advance if that takes a while. I will let Ryan speak again, but I also wanted to mention |
| 1:39.0 | something else that occurred to me over the weekend. I apologize that it only occurred to me |
| 1:42.9 | this weekend, but we still have people |
| 1:45.5 | sending in scouting reports and asking listener questions and supporting the show via the subscriber |
