Talking Tactics discuss Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal: Why are these teams struggling? John Barnes has been in the media with frequency in the past few weeks discussing race, in ways many are finding problematic, we discuss him and his talking points at length. After, we take your questions on La Liga without Lionel Messi (with a few comments on the Madrid Derby and Eden Hazard's weight), Kevin De Bruyne, AC Milan, Riyad Mahrez, Karim Benzema and Mason Greenwood. Then a small Champions League preview, with some leftovers.
