0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the total soccer show. My name is Darryl Grove and I'm joined by a man
0:22.5	whom I assume is happy to be back in studio with me. His name is Taylor Rockwell. Hello.
0:27.6	I am indeed after several delays including me leaving all the mics and cables at home.
0:32.9	Yes, I'm excited to be back in studio and finally recording. So we're recovering from
0:36.3	our trip to Germany. Yes, and we are slightly less tightly scheduled than we were in Germany.
0:40.5	Slightly less. Yeah, that was in an intense round of scheduling. It was very German. I am that
0:45.3	said slightly more hungover than I was in Germany because Virginia went blue last night and we
0:50.2	were celebrating and I'm feeling it today. Well speaking of blue, we have some listener questions
0:56.2	today and the first question. What you've done here is all about a man who wears blue. Is that you
1:02.0	asked the first question? I will because with that in mind when I tweeted out last night,

1:19.5	asks now that policy is starting games for Chelsea and getting goals and assists. Can you give any
1:24.3	analysis on why he's doing so well? What's he doing right that he wasn't doing earlier in the season?
1:29.2	Ooh, okay. So I mean, what we got the hat trick a couple weeks ago, the goal against Watford.
1:35.2	A lot of like secondary assists. Yeah, 4-4 draw with Iax. Here's what I'm seeing. He has a
1:41.2	consistent position. So he's most often on the left side of a 4-3-3 and he's receiving the ball
1:46.0	and he's bringing it inside. And the big change from early in the season is when he's dribbling,
1:51.7	he's got that drift. Do you know what I'm talking about? That thing where, especially when he
1:55.5	starts it on the left, he'll receive the ball and he'll start running at people and he'll just
1:59.6	sort of drift in field with the ball and nobody tackles it. It's a special skill that
