It’s a busy one on The Debrief as Mark Chapman is joined by Dion Dublin and Jobi McAnuff as they react to an action packed Monday night which includes news of the FA Cup fourth round draw, Xabi Alonso leaving Real Madrid and Liverpool beating Barnsley.
They start at Macclesfield, after the news that they will host Premier League side Brentford, who are 5th in the table, in the fourth-round of the FA Cup - that’s one of six ties with a Premier League club going away to lower league opposition.
Macclesfield defender Sam Heathcote joins the pod after he was back working as a PE Teacher on Monday and gives an insight into a crazy few days for the club.
They also talk Michael Carrick who is set to take over at Manchester United until the end of the season.
Also, Guillem Balague pops up after Xabi Alonso left his position as head coach of Real Madrid ‘by mutual consent’ after just eight months in charge, and Guillem tells the guys why Alvaro Arbeloa has been named as the new head coach.
And if that wasn’t enough Mark gets all the reaction from Anfield, after Liverpool beat Barnsley 4-1 and they hear from both Arne Slot and Conor Hourihane, in a match that was filled with drama - including a possible penalty appeal and a Szoboszlai howler.
