Getting ready for the real thing S5 E3

52 minutes

It’s August 9th and it’s the 3rd episode of our 5th season. welcome dear listener. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz and Enrique. We are here to talk more about how the pre-season has gone and look ahead to Chelsea this weekend. Thanks for joining us.

Part One - Bayern Munich and SV Damstadt

The balance - scored 18 conceded 11 - I think there were 4 when VVD was on the field

Defending - the over the top goals and chances - was it the press or the high line?

Midfield look - the absence of a #6? Mac Allister’s role. Curtis?

Offense - Szoboszlai corners? That front 5 looks scary doesn’t it?

Part Two - Chelsea upcoming:

If Pochettino sets up 4-3-3, what approach do we take?

How do you think we will line up? As offensive as the pre-season?

What do we expect from Chelsea overall?

Will Poch last the season or will they be successful

Part Three - looking elsewhere:

Who do we need?

What about Romeo Lavia?

Andre (Fluminesne) has been mentioned

Tyler Adams at $20m - Reds don’t seem interested

We are not fans of the foment around transfers, we are hoping it doesn’t transmit to the players

We will be back with a review of the first game and a look ahead to Bournemouth. Thanks to Daz and Enrique.. And thank you for listening.
