The KUMB Podcast

Cal returns and we look back at what went wrong in the Leeds match and what went right against Norwich. Can we continue to compete at the top of the table with Diop and Dawson at the back? Have Moyes' substitutions helped or hindered us in the last week? And has Antonio been performing well under pressure?

With Callum struck down by Covid, Chris and Jack got together after the Leeds match to look back on a very successful start to 2022. Have we got our Antonio back? Have we got our Lanzini back? And is our Diop ever coming back?

We got together just after the Chelsea match to break down a fantastic victory over European Champions, Chelsea. (And to take a look back at a not-so-brilliant draw with Brighton.) How did we manage to stop Chelsea playing in the second half? Have we finally got our Antonio back? And does Dawson need to be more of a bully?

The team got together as the final whistle blew in Manchester to take a look back at a mixed week in which West Ham secured top spot in the Europa League but fell to a second consecutive Premier League defeat. How do we rediscover some balance without Ogbonna? Who deserves to play behind Antonio? And is it time for change at right-back?

The team take a look back at a week in which West Ham secured qualification for the knockout stages of the Europa League before an extraordinary win over Liverpool at the London Stadium. What was Moyes' "subtle tweak" against Liverpool? What was his altogether less subtle system change at Genk? And has Chris learnt any Spanish from his 550 days on Duolingo?
