City Trash Reds, Chelsea’s 5-Star Show

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 9 of the 90 + 5 Podcast! Tunji and Mekus are back to unpack an explosive weekend of Premier League football. We kick off at Anfield, where 10-man Liverpool were demolished 3-0 by Enzo Maresca’s unstoppable Manchester City. From Ryan Gravenberch’s game-changing red card to Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland, and Rayan Cherki running riot, we ask: is Maresca’s City transition actually more enjoyable than Pep’s final season? Plus, we debate Florian Wirtz’s ghost performance versus Cherki’s masterclass, and whether Bradley Barcola is officially on flop watch.

Next, we break down the 1-1 draw between the "Samis twins"—Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. Even after hosting a church conference at Old Trafford over the international break and going a man up, United showed zero spine under Michael Carrick. Meanwhile, Roberto De Zerbi takes Spurs on a Marbella vacation as his managerial hot seat continues to burn. Finally, we celebrate Chelsea’s 5-1 thrashing of Bournemouth, featuring 36-year-old Jordan Henderson’s stunning free kick, Joao Pedro’s double, and Pedro Neto’s wing-back brilliance!
