Will Arsenal's Attack Cost Them The Title? + How Much Progress Have Man United REALLY Made?
Description
On this episode, Patrick and Hayden break down a chaotic Premier League weekend. Manchester United and Bournemouth play one of the games of the season, raising big questions about Amorim’s control and long-term plan. Manchester City’s attack looks like it’s clicking again, but are the defensive issues still lurking beneath the surface? Arsenal remain the benchmark, but will their attacking deficiencies cost them the title? Spurs look lost after another damaging defeat, should they spend big in January or does Thomas Frank just need more time?
