It's been another nonstop week of Premier League and Champions League action and Rebecca & Alex are back to break down the big talking points from the last 7 days.
We have to start with Chelsea's very up and down week - from the highs of beating Mourinho's Tottenham in the big battle for fourth place in the Premier League, to the lows of a humbling loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. We take a closer look at Frank Lampard's tactics & man management, a torrid night for Reece James, youth and experience, Olivier Giroud's return, as well as Gnabry & Lewandowski shining again and squad issues for Jose Mourinho at Spurs.
At Anfield, Liverpool had perhaps their toughest game of the season against West Ham United - which probably came as much of a shock to David Moyes as it did to everyone else. We chat about that surprising West Ham showing, goalkeeping errors, Oxlade-Chamberlain's impact, missing Jordan Henderson, and why Trent-Alexander Arnold could be a generational talent.
Unsurprisingly, we have to dig into yet more VAR failings in the Premier League too - with the missed Lo Celso red card incident and the inevitable nonsense of the disallowed goal / penalty decision in Burnley vs Bournemouth.
We also round up the other happenings in the Champions League this week - including Pep's tactical masterclass for Man City at the Bernabéu, Sergio Ramos seeing red again, Sarri's struggles at Juventus, and Barcelona nearly coming a cropper in Naples.
Plus, a look ahead to Chelsea vs Liverpool in the FA Cup, Mourinho's Greatest Hits, Burnley not being relegation candidates, Trojans and tunnels, 'Robbery', painting pianists, mushy bananas, circles vs squares, and the Netflix sensation 'Love is Blind'.
