Episode Notes
Manchester City are back to the top of the Premier League table. It's the narrowest of narrow margins - they're above Arsenal purely by virtue of scoring more goals - but it's still a much more advantageous position than they've been in for quite some time. David Mooney is joined by City fans Dan Burke and Gaz to discuss the fallout from the games against Arsenal and Burnley.
The Athletic's tactics writer, Michael Cox (also known as Zonal Marking on socials), speaks to the show about how Pep Guardiola is using Nico O'Reilly and how it's an extension of how the manager has used his full-backs at City... in an interview recorded before O'Reilly played in midfield on Wednesday.
Plus, Glen de la Cour from the Southampton podcast Total Saints joins the episode to discuss what to expect on Saturday for the FA Cup semi-final. If City have selection questions over fatigue in the squad, after two high-pressure games, Southampton have an interesting dilemma in the shape of a crucial tie with fellow promotion-hopefuls Ipswich on Tuesday.
And... when have City players 'got away with one'?
