Manchester United have sacked Michael Carrick and look set to turn to Mauricio Pochettino. Patrick and Neel Shelat explain why they are skeptical.
They go through why Carrick’s defense fell apart, what Pochettino’s last three jobs say about how this could go, why his Chelsea season is more worrying than encouraging, and why United’s midfield makes the job harder than it looks. They also cover the short-term upside, because United will probably look better first, and why that may not be enough.
Then it’s over to Crystal Palace, who have sacked Pierre Sage and are linked with Thomas Frank. Why is even a good manager walking into trouble at Selhurst Park? Plus, who is next on the sack list.

Patrick and Ted go through the weekend’s Premier League action, starting with Arsenal beating Liverpool. Arsenal have a defensive reputation, but this match suggests more is going on: more bodies in the box, more fluid rotations and Ødegaard pulling Van Dijk out of position. Why should Liverpool take heart from the performance?
Chelsea beat Man United, but did we get a look at the next evolution of set pieces? Plus Sunderland’s bad luck, Brighton’s good luck at the Etihad, and a host of teams in between.

Manchester City beat Liverpool, but did anything about it matter? Patrick and Neel review the weekend in the Premier League and La Liga.
They start with City’s win at Anfield, Haaland’s new Abu Dhabi house and the siege mentality around the club, then ask whether Liverpool’s midfield balance and Florian Wirtz’s role are fixable.
Then they turn to Manchester United’s draw with Spurs. Why do Carrick’s United keep falling for the same pressing trap, and can they create anything against a low block? Plus: whether De Zerbi’s patterns are anywhere to be seen, Mourinho’s struggling Real Madrid, and Chelsea and Fulham.

Ted is back from holiday to give his full take on the Manchester City charges: what punishment actually makes sense, whether titles can be undone, and why the appeal's central defense doesn't hold up. They also run the fantasy logistics of an actual City squad auction.
Then they turn to the Premier League as it resumes: hot seats for Pierre Sage and Roberto De Zerbi, Crystal Palace's ugly underlying numbers, Florian Wirtz's rocky start at Liverpool, what Alonso is building at Chelsea, and growing noise around Michael Carrick's job. They close with the players they're most excited about: Alexander Isak, Charalampos Kostoulas, and Brighton's latest veteran reclamation project.

Are Borussia Dortmund, Roma and Lazio genuine contenders or early season pretenders? Patrick and Hayden dig into the numbers behind three overlooked sides making noise around Europe. Dortmund are top of the Bundesliga with four wins from four, but do they have the quality to challenge Bayern? Roma lead Serie A with the best goal difference after five games, so what are they doing differently, and where could they strengthen to catch Inter? And Lazio have started well on the pitch under Gattuso while their fans boycott home games, so how much of that start is sustainable?

Show notes
Man City have reportedly been found guilty on 114 of 115 charges. The verdict hasn't been officially announced, but the reports point to a punishment that could reshape the Premier League. Patrick and Neel break down what comes next.
In this episode:
· What the charges cover and why the obstruction charges may be the hardest to deny
· How the case compares with Everton, Chelsea, Derby, Calciopoli and a Belarusian title scandal
· Why City can't go to CAS, and how the appeal timeline works
· Points deductions, fines, compensation claims and what the hosts think should happen
· How the UAE and UK politics could complicate the punishment
· Why the "red cartel" defense doesn't hold up
Then we turn to PSG, sixth in Ligue 1 after a slow start. Is it the usual early-season wobble or something more serious? We look at the pressing problems, the transfer window and what the numbers say.

Man City stay perfect with a 5-3 win over Sunderland, but they conceded 3.6 xG, their worst defensive game in over a decade. We break down whether Maresca's expansive approach is a fixable balance issue or a real problem. Arsenal get thumped 3-0 at Brighton, and we dig into whether the press actually cracked their defense or exposed something else. Real Madrid lose the Madrid derby to Atletico, and Mourinho's project looks shakier than ever. Plus Leeds and Brentford quick hits, Chelsea's midfield mess, and our verdict on Tottenham vs Man United: who should actually be more worried?

The Champions League is back. Patrick and Hayden break down the opening round of the league phase.
Real Madrid beat Inter Milan 2-1, but the performance raises real questions about their defensive cohesion in transition, especially in wide areas. Arsenal cruise past Napoli on over 4 xG, though Viktor Gyokeres' fit up front is still an open question. Liverpool see off a well-organised Atletico Madrid side that caused real problems in behind their back line.
Plus: Aston Villa's promising first half against Club Brugge, Manchester City's Erling Haaland problem, and rampant starts from Barcelona and PSG.

Patrick and Ted wrap up the entire summer transfer window, going club by club through who actually improved their squad, who overpaid, and who's already in trouble two games into the season.
Chelsea spent over 400 million and still turned a profit, while Spurs spent a fortune on players Ted and Patrick mostly like and still can't win a game. Man City loaded up on midfielders, Liverpool came away with real gaps after missing on several targets including a late run at Cody Gakpo, and Arsenal ended the window looking like the team nobody actually caught. They also work through the promoted clubs, the windows that missed completely, and the few teams who found real value shopping outside the usual markets.

Neel and Patrick rebuild Liverpool's defence and Tottenham's attack, hunting for value signings that go beyond the obvious names.
They dig into Liverpool's centre-back options behind an ageing Van Dijk, including Castello Lukeba, Ousmane Diomande and free agent wildcard Oumar Solet, before working through the full-back market on both flanks. Then it's over to Spurs, where the focus shifts to fixing the attack around Savinho and Nicolas Jackson, plus a handful of cheaper wide alternatives if the big names don't move.

Eddie Howe is out at Newcastle after five years, and Matthias Jaissle is the strong favourite to replace him. We break down what went wrong in his second season in charge, whether selling Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes actually suits the rebuild, and what Jaissle's tactical evolution at Al Ahli tells us about his fit in the Premier League.
Then onto transfers: Real Madrid closing in on Diamond and what it means for Vinicius, Liverpool's interest in Ezri Konsa amid a shaky back line, and Chelsea bringing in Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson to steady the dressing room. Enjoy!
