The leagues are back and the chaos has officially returned! In Season 5, Episode 2, Tunji and Mekus dive into a wild Gameweek 1 that saw the traditional "Big 6" hierarchy crumble. We break down Manchester United’s shocking loss to newly promoted Hull City was this a wake-up call for Michael Carrick or a sign of deeper issues? We also tackle Tottenham’s disastrous 3-0 defeat to Brentford, questioning how much time De Zerbi truly has to fix this "project."
On the flip side, Arsenal looked like true champions in their demolition of Coventry, and Chelsea showed glimpses of a new era under Alonso despite Robert Sanchez’s "con man" antics. Plus, we discuss Maresca’s tactical experiments at City, Liverpool’s "horrendous" defensive display against Newcastle, and the return of Mourinho’s ball at Real Madrid. Grab your seat football is well and truly back!
