The Game

We need to talk about Kepa


Listen Later

After a huge Sunday of football happenings, Gab Marcotti and Natalie Sawyer are joined by Alyson Rudd and Paul Hirst to try and make sense of it all.

Where else to start but with the Arrizabalaga saga? Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri tries to substitute his keeper Kepa in the League Cup final, who then refuses to come off. Was he disrespecting his manager? Would it have been a tactical masterstroke if Sarri had brought on former City goalkeeper Willy Caballero? And to what extent does this demonstrate the chaos at Chelsea?

Manchester City were winners of the trophy. Is the quadruple on for Pep Guardiola this season? Or will the number of games catch up with an injury hit squad?

A limp Liverpool display does see them return to the top of the Premier League as they draw 0-0 at Old Trafford. But will Jurgen Klopp be stressed about Salah, after another uninspiring performance from his star man?

Claude Puel was dismissed as Leicester manager on Sunday morning. The rumoured replacement is one Brendan Rodgers. Is it right that he’s a figure of ridicule or is he misunderstood?

Elsewhere, why Barcelona are more Messi-dependent than ever before. And Chicharito steals a tiara. Figuratively speaking.
