It’s August 9th and it’s the 3rd episode of our 5th season. welcome dear listener. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz and Enrique. We are here to talk more about how the pre-season has gone and look ahead to Chelsea this weekend. Thanks for joining us.

Part One - Bayern Munich and SV Damstadt

• The balance - scored 18 conceded 11 - I think there were 4 when VVD was on the field
• Defending - the over the top goals and chances - was it the press or the high line?
• Midfield look - the absence of a #6? Mac Allister’s role. Curtis?
• Offense - Szoboszlai corners? That front 5 looks scary doesn’t it?

Part Two - Chelsea upcoming:

• If Pochettino sets up 4-3-3, what approach do we take?
• How do you think we will line up? As offensive as the pre-season?
• What do we expect from Chelsea overall?
• Will Poch last the season or will they be successful

Part Three - looking elsewhere:

• Who do we need?
• What about Romeo Lavia?
• Andre (Fluminesne) has been mentioned

• Tyler Adams at $20m - Reds don’t seem interested

• We are not fans of the foment around transfers, we are hoping it doesn’t transmit to the players

We will be back with a review of the first game and a look ahead to Bournemouth. Thanks to Daz and Enrique.. And thank you for listening.
