On today’s Football Weekly, AC Jimbo is joined by Paolo Bandini, Nick Miller and Sasha Goryunov to conduct the inquest into Manchester United’s spectacular collapse at Chelsea. Can José Mourinho rally the troops as he faces his bête noir Pep once again in a must-win game with City in the EFL Cup? And do the last victory-less five games prove without a shadow of a doubt that Guardiola can’t hack it in England? Exactly.
Next up, we praise Liverpool, who made it unnecessarily hard for themselves at the end of their game with West Brom, and look ahead to their game with Tottenham on Tuesday night.
We catch up with Sid Lowe about all the business on and off the pitch in La Liga, and we also get up to speed with Serie A, where Milan beat Juventus and appear to be on the brink of something special.
Oh, and this (sad face).
