Said Benrahma's long awaited debut finally arrived and West Ham took full advantage of the Algerian's dazzling performance. His fellow midfielders Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek also starred as more set piece calamity saw Bielsa's Leeds once again dropping points. We discuss how Moyes' formation change was the perfect assist for the talented Hammers duo, why the crackdown on goalkeepers during PKs doesn't always make sense, and how Leeds-despite their great style-will need to start addressing some of their flaws to start roping in the points. 

Later, we discuss how Manchester United could learn a lot about how to manage players like Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria by following the lead of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Mercedes-Benz Formula One Team. We close the show out by previewing the biggest games on the continent this weekend including a pair of tasty clashes in Ligue Un and the all important Madrid Derby.
