It’s May 25th and it’s episode 31 of our 4th season. welcome dear listener. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz. We are here to talk about our last game - 1-1 against Aston Villa fixture. Thanks for joining us. 

Introduction:

  • Istanbul Day

  • Rome ‘77

    • Part One - Villa at home:

    • The deserved narrative for Villa.. Nothing happened for them in the first 20 minutes

      • xG - 0.9 to 1.5

      • Another time waster team who disrupts the game so much:

        • Shirt grabbing, falling over and OMG the time wasting

        • Martinez 7th yellow card

        • Villa fans claiming that our tactical fouling was a bigger issue 

        • I thought Diaz, Gakpo and Jones looked bright - heard conflicting views

        • Didn’t think Trent or Salah had great days and then there wasn’t anyone else stepping up. Too much through the middle, over the top passes weren’t quite working

        • Referee rant part 4,625: was giving the whistle to a man that Klopp had just punked on national tv the best possible move?  

        • All the big decisions - penalty (can we get one of those), Cash shove on Diaz, red card, penalty, offside goal. 

          • PGMOL - ‘plausible interpretations of subjective rules’

            • Part Two - Southampton:

            • Chance to experiment?

            • Chance to have one last beer with a crowd

            • How much will we be watching the relegation battle?

              • Part three - end of an era:

              • Bobby - 361 games, 110 goals; Milner 330 games - heart and soul

              • Ox and Naby salutations muted it felt like. I feel for both of them as it could’ve been so much more for them. 

              • Who do we think might be the other outgoings? Kelleher? Joel? Tsimi? 

              • Connor Bradley is up in the air?

              • New signings - MaCalister? Mount? 

              • Kane - Fallon D’floor

                • We will be back next week after the Southampton game to do a season wrap. Thanks to Daz. And thank you for listening.
