Talking Tactics

Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss Chelsea, Manchester City, Monaco, and Everton conspiring to give the transfer deadline some drama. With Lamine Camara, Folarin Balogun, and Enzo Fernandez playing central roles. Should Chelsea burn their relationship with Monaco. How good is Enzo Fernandez really? Real Madrid's best player vs. Real Madrid's most important player. Reports of Lamine Yamal's discontent were much exaggerated. Lionel Messi has retired from international football with a complete set.

Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss Arsenal cruising through Coventry. Manchester United losing to Hull. Liverpool rescuing a point against Newcastle. What is happening with Florian Wirtz? Chelsea looked good against Fulham, but what should happen with Enzo Fernandez, Robert Sanchez, and Emi Martinez? Julian Alvarez is still in limbo with Atletico Madrid. Lamine Yamal wasn't pleased being substituted. Real Madrid are off to the races with six points from two games, albeit in two different forms.

Daniel Tiluk and Carl Anka look ahead to the 2026/27 EPL season, discussing Arsenal's title defense, Manchester City without Pep Guardiola and possibly Rodri, Manchester United's squad building, Chelsea's veteran signings and what becomes of Enzo Fernandez, Liverpool's new look with Andoni Iraola, but no Mohamed Salah, and which other teams seem interesting before the season starts.

Didn't really get to Spain, Germany, France, Italy, and the UCL because of the clock, but we'll drill into those areas next week!

Daniel Tiluk is joined by Paul Ansorge to discuss the 2026 World Cup, FIFA's attempt to ruin a great competition, UEFA boycotts, and labels of corruption. England's failure against Argentina. France's stumble against Spain. Would Paul ever want to do a weekly podcast about Manchester United again, and what is a "podcast" in today's understanding? Also, interwoven discussions on mental health and the corrosive, predatory nature of many, if not all, gambling institutions.
