Hello, everybody, and welcome to the total soccer show. I am your host, Taylor Rockwell.

It only took me two times to get that one out because it's the weekend review and it's a Monday morning and it's still sort of early for me or it's been early because I've been watching all of the things that happened this weekend. And with me, I have my friend, Mr. Ryan Bailey, to help me make sense of all of the things that happened this weekend, each and every game, the world over. Sound good, Ryan? Sounds good. Let's get around the houses. I'm surprised you forgot your own name in the first time we recorded this intro, by the way. And the show name. It was a double whammy. It was a fine, fine moment for me. And it actually stepped on the intro I had written out, which was to credit you for teaching David

Luis everything he knows about defending.

You're well-good?

I appreciate it.

I'm not sure Arsenal fans do.

But we're actually not even going to talk too much about Arsenal.

I did want to mention that one.

I will talk a little bit about playing out of the back, but we can get to that later on because we've got a lot of Premier League to get to a little bit of La Liga, a little bit of Bundesliga, and a little bit of Major League soccer. Ryan, which game would you like to start with? I would like to start with the team who were not scared to play out of the back this weekend. How about Norwich City and what they did

to Manchester City? My favorite part of this game actually didn't happen in the game at all.

It was on Match of the Day in the UK. Gary Lineker in one of his links said, how do you beat

City? Fuck knows. He always has like some good pre-written jokes and then one or two little improvisations in

there which seemed to usually be at alan cheer's expense yeah he's a he's a he's a national

treasure what can i say i also liked when he he pressed them on uh it was who is it it was

alan sheer and uh ian right and they were there he was asking them about like Tottenham result. And like, would Harry Kane, do you think Harry Kane is mad that he didn't score in this game, even though they won? And they were both like, yeah, totally. And you could tell that all three of them were sort of in that same mindset. And we're in that mindset when they played. So I always appreciate their insight. I always appreciate his puns. And I really enjoyed this game. Norwich

with a three to win over Manchester City. We solicited questions from the weekend. We had one from

Marcus Rashford. I don't think it was actually Marcus Rashford who asked this. But the question was,

is the title race over already? No top six team seem to perform well, and Man City is already

struggling without Laporte. So can we crown Liverpool at this point? Liverpool currently five

points ahead in the Premier League table, worth noting it's mid-September at this point. So I'm guessing

this was a slightly tongue-and-cheek question, but it does beg the question, are Man City in

trouble with the injury to Imer
