Talking Tactics

In this episode of "Talking with..." Daniel sits down with Musa Okwonga of the Stadio Podcast.

They discuss how Musa became a Manchester United supporter. How the club's future was altered by a horse. Why it's difficult for fans to protest. And the Erik ten Hag era. Musa shares about his grandfather managing the Uganda national team, and his assumed completion of an Acholi to English dictionary. The focus then shifts to writing. How did Musa plan his writing career, what are his processes, does he have a preference for writing or talking, and how African journalists in the West can be boxed into only discussing race if not careful. They end with a quick-fire round, where we discover an animal Musa would choose to be for 24 hours, his favourite skill move, and what his dream music festival would look like amongst other things.

Daniel and Carl discuss Arsenal's encouraging win at Crystal Palace, and why Ghana need all the help they can get. Liverpool's unconvincing draw against Fulham. Do points early in the season weigh the same as points later in the season? Manchester City are working things out, but Erling Haaland is already terrifying. What is the point of Chelsea's football, and does Thomas Tuchel have any solutions short of "buy more quality?" Tottenham look scary, but can you overcome the fact they're Spurs? Manchester United start the Erik ten Hag era with a loss to Brighton; the same issues are appearing which have always existed: What can be done about them? Why don't England hype managers like Graham Potter the same way they do their players?

Daniel, Have Hope, and Carl discuss the England Women's National Team winning the country's first major tournament since 1966 after beating Germany 2-1. We talk about what the win means moving forward, whether society can be trusted to support women's football outside of national interest, or if that question is even relevant. In the second half we preview the 2022/23 season. The "will they won't they" of Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich. The title race between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The top four battle of Serie A. The top six ordering in the Premier League, and who wins the Champions League? We end remembering the legacy of civil rights pioneer and NBA legend Bill Russell, who passed away this weekend aged 88.

Daniel is joined by Edoba and Abdullahi, two of the "hiatused" Complicated Chelsea Show's four members. In a Chelsea heavy show, the trio discuss pre-season troubles, transfer troubles, squad-building troubles, historical troubles, and troubles to come if these troubles aren't solved quickly and/or effectively. We also took some Chelsea-related questions, and touched briefly on Barcelona, and the World Cup's affect on the upcoming season..

Daniel and Have Hope are joined by friend of the pod Red to discuss what is happening with Cristiano Ronaldo. Does a move to Atletico Madrid make more sense than Sporting? Barcelona announced Robert Lewandowski: how are Barça having the best summer transfer window while being financially ruined? Chelsea signed Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly in the week, but Chelsea fans are more focused on the academy players. Red seems to think Cristiano is the most under-appreciated athlete ever, and we end with Marcus Rashford and Daniel Kaluuya's comments about racism in England, and how Rashford's acceptance of an Order of the British Empire may detract from needed honesty when placed in these conversations.

Have Hope and Daniel discuss where Cristiano Ronaldo should go if Manchester United sell him, and is he a good fit anywhere (you guys asked about the Chelsea links in particular). Paris Saint-Germain are hiring Christophe Galtier: Is he the one to win Champions League? Manchester City and Arsenal agreed on Gabriel Jesus, Kalvin Phillips from Leeds United to Man City is finished, with that done: Where will Raphinha go, and is it a choice between Barcelona and Chelsea? Have Hope had a debate topic on his channel: "Greatest striker of their generation: Lewandowski, Suárez, or Benzema?" We end with some news stories like Eriksen. to Man United, Salah's new deal, Barça's free agent signings, and AFCON being moved from 2023 to 2024.

Daniel is joined by Dan Soff (of Touchline Fracas & Chessy Hour) to discuss how the transfer market is the best time in football's calendar. Chelsea loaning Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan. How the Chelsea board has been altered by new ownership. Todd Boehly's handling of player acquisition, and the knock-on effect for Thomas Tuchel. How does Dan feel about Raheem Sterling. But before all that: What's in a name, and why even support this club? They end with a quick comment on how the media report transfer news, how Cristiano Ronaldo should go about the next eight months, and something for the pocket-watching Sadio Mané haters.

Have Hope and Daniel discuss how Chelsea's ownership group are shaping the board, and how it could affect Thomas Tuchel. Is Raheem Sterling enough to fix the Blues' attack? Have Hope has faith in Antonio Conte's Tottenham project. The guys wonder about Klopp's ability to hang without Sadio Mané, and with Darwin Núñez. For Mané, if Bayern Munich lose Robert Lewandowski is he enough to make the difference. Paul Pogba released "The Pogmentary" on Amazon Prime. Do young footballers need documentaries? What did we like/dislike about Pogba's effort, and which player(s) would we like to see documented? We end with Arsène Wenger's comments on Africa/African footballers.
