Episode 1301: How Mentally Strong is Salah, Pep’s Hotel California, What’s Wrong With Lloris, Italian Comeback, Man United Risk
It was a Champions League round when Liverpool finally remembered how to play well and Mo Salah celebrated his 50th goal in 65 matches – a start so phenomenal that the rest of his LFC career is almost guaranteed to look bad by comparison.
Tottenham meanwhile are already almost out of the competition: bad luck plus tough group equals probably early elimination, but could this work to their advantage?
Jonathan Wilson joins us to discuss the midweek CL – what’s wrong with Hugo Lloris, is Italian football coming back, why don’t Manchester United throw caution to the winds and attack?
Plus there’s Marcelo V journalism, Shaqiri the midfielder, Pep’s music, Henry’s jacket and baby football in Uruguay.
