We begin with Man United’s 3-1 defeat at Brentford. Miguel believes Keith Andrews had Amorim’s number and criticises a lack of consistency but is Martin harsh to consider Man United the worst run club in football? Dominic suggests Man United would want to be run more like Brentford.
Next we focus on Liverpool, who got a taste of their last-minute-winner medicine against Crystal Palace, losing in extra time by an Eddie Nketiah goal. Will defensive frailties be an issue for Liverpool as the season unfolds?
We then move to Arsenal, and Dominic considers Arteta’s side to have the best squad in the league, with depth in every position, but they need take advantage of title-rival slip ups; something they were unable to capitalise on last year.
We also look at Europe’s successful Ryder Cup weekend. Dominic calls it a ‘demolition’ and praises Fleetwood and Rose’s second day performance.
Finally, The Times’ Charlotte Duncker joins us on the pod to chat more about Amorim’s system and future at Man United, and Ange’s difficult start at Nottingham Forest.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
