Eoin presides again over the weekly humiliation ritual in which Ken is forced to grudgingly accept that Kai Havertz played well over the weekend while grumbling vaguely about opportunity costs.

Jonathan Wilson and Lars Sivertsen join us to talk about the NLD and other weekend football lines. Is Havertz the signing of the season? And how long can Ange Postecoglou get away with a vibes-based approach to set-pieces?

We also talk about why the issue of ‘tourist’ fans at Premier League games is becoming increasingly heated, and find out how optimistic Jonathan and Lars are  for Arne Slot’s prospects at Liverpool.
