Ryan Bailey, Taylor Rockwell and Graham Ruthven are here to take a look at the biggest games of the weekend!

0.00 - Liverpool vs. Everton: Klopp’s Top misery continued as Everton earned their first win at Anfield in a million years. What went wrong for the Reds?

24.25 - Arsenal vs. Manchester City: Pep Guardiola’s side continue to crush everything in their path—but the Gunners didn’t put up a great deal of resistance in this one. 

33.15 - West Ham vs. Tottenham: David Moyes’ West Ham are the best team in London right now. Let that sink in as we discuss Jose Mourinho’s lack of structure—and ability to accept responsibility for his team's shortcomings.

46.09 - Milan vs. Inter Milan: It was the Romelu Lukaku Show at San Siro, where Antonio Conte set up his team perfectly for the win.

57.35 - Schalke vs. Dortmund: Over to the BuLi and the Rivierderby, in which Erling Haaland did things! Including his trademark terrifying bear celebrations!
