Recently I was delighted to be joined by The Athletic's Liam Tharme to breakdown the current Premier League campaign. From changes in the dugout to on the field, the narrowing quality gap and the ever evolving nature of the game there are no shortage of talking points. Listen to learn out why there has been a huge dropoff in the number of throughballs, which new manager has already conceded his philosophy for the greater good and so much more. We also discussed;

- What Chelsea fans can expect to see of Graham Potter?

- How soon should a managerial reign be evaluated?

- How have Man City have adapted to Erling Haaland?

- Why Liverpool have stagnated?

- Has the quality gap ever been as narrower in the Premier League?

- Who is most likely to break into the top 6?

- The trends which characterise the evolution of football.
