Episode 1312: Comeback United, Sterling Trips, Happy Jose, One Star Liverpool, Thierry Tanks

Thu 8th Nov 2018
Eoin, Ken, Murph and Jonathan Wilson

Manchester United’s recent knack for comeback victories is one of the great mysteries of football and as far as their fans are concerned, one of its great beauties. Their win at Juventus showed at least one quality of which Joe Schmidt would have approved.

Manchester City shrugged off a week of embarrassing Football Leaks reports to score another half-dozen goals against Shakhtar. Should Sterling have said something to the referee, and was Pep’s comparison with Milner last season relevant?

And why have Liverpool “lost their mojo”, in the words of their baffled manager. Their defeat at the Marakana in Belgrade was a disaster for their hopes of qualification. Though not as big a disaster as Thierry Henry’s management career so far.

 

Jonathan Wilson joins us to talk more about United’s win at Juventus, the reasons why Mourinho feels the need to make a spectacle of himself, and look forward to the Manchester Derby.
