I really enjoyed this one. Chatted to Sammy for a full hour on the role of substitutions within the game and how teams can get more out of them by focusing their coaching. Have a listen!

Got quite emotional on Spodcast Freiburg talking about Christian Streich and his legacy at SC Freiburg. It'll go out as one part of a bumper episode later in the season so make sure you follow them if you don't want to miss it.

Hi Spurs fans: let's forget today and talk about how we can improve that LW slot.

I analysed three options (yes one of them is Nico Williams 😉)

For the record, I'm happy with my Arsenal analysis this season. I don't think I got anything wildly wrong. I still believe Arsenal have some in-possession issues by dint of the way they're set up this season. But you're free to disagree. That's what analysis is about.

Arsenal are jumping between two high presses.

A diamond press with Saka and Trossard coming really narrow.

A full press where they leave Maddison free with a centre back ready to jump (led to 1st goal)

Míchel vs Pimienta at 13:00 today!

Then Valverde’s Athletic Club (5th) take on Atlético Madrid (4th) with just three points between them – having already beaten them three times this season…

This discussion with Jon Mackenzie the perfect warm-up for two fascinating games.

Went to Nyon to watch the UEFA Youth League final: Olympiacos 3-0 Milan.
