We’re dissecting the Jekyll & Hyde draw with Sunderland—from a decent first half to a second-half retreat so deep we nearly ended up in the stand.

Inside the episode:

• Tactical Hostages: Why does Thomas Frank treat a 1-0 lead like a ticking bomb? We discuss the inevitability of the equalizer and the "negative" shift that cost us.

• Mohammed Kudus is out. Who can carry the creative torch?

• Transfer Circus: We separate the genuine January targets from the ITK "idiot" specials. And we ask, Is Johan Lange the architect of our future or the catalyst for our decline?

• The Prodigal Son: Mikey Moore is lighting up Rangers—is it time to trigger the recall and let the kid save our season?

• Reality Check: Would any of our squad even make the bench at City, Arsenal, or Chelsea? (Warning: It’s a short list).

Plus: A quick look at the Poch nonsense and the Bournemouth match.
