Tactical Shifts and Team Dynamics

Football writer Henry Winter joins Simon Jordan and Graeme Souness to discuss Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle and the media’s reaction to Thomas’s Tuchel’s appointment as England head coach.

They debate whether Liverpool are the real deal this season: Henry reveals what the players are saying about Arne Slot but Graeme has reservations about their title credentials. They also discuss the upcoming game against Arsenal and why it could be a defining fixture for Mikel Arteta’s side this season and whether their indiscipline is going to ruin their own Premier League bid.

Following Thomas Tuchel’s appointment, they discuss the press reaction to his arrival, what success will look like for him and whether we will now learn if the players are good enough to win the World Cup.

There’s also a chat on Newcastle’s recent form and whether they’re heading for a tough season. Henry says why he thinks there have been some difficulties behind the scenes, Graeme explains what makes the club such a challenge to manage and Simon wonders whether the honeymoon following Mike Ashley’s departure is over.

After Inter Miami’s addition into the FIFA Club World Cup, how seriously should we take this competition and could we really see players boycott it?
